SUMMARY:LUCIDEZ VIVA
DESCRIPTION:Reception: December 12th 5–10pm \nThe Underground\n248 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm \nIn Lucidez Viva (portuguese for Living Lucidity) four fine artists working with blacklight enhanced painting\, prints\, and sculpture enhance the senses and electrify the way the audience experiences a traditional white wall gallery space. The four artists work with themes of identity\, the body\, memory\, and history of trauma. Lonergan curates a bold hypnotic neon experience and encourages viewers to let go in this alternate urban club scene/gallery space. The preferred show date is Thursday\, December 12th\, 2019 and the installation time frame could begin after 6pm on Wednesday\, December 11th\, 2019. With the end of the semester happening the same week\, this show will only be up for the opening on the 12th and Friday\, December 13th with de-installation beginning on Saturday\, December 14th. \nAaron Lonergan is a printmaker with a background in sculpture\, mixed media\, and digital media. His current thesis work looks into his own understanding of himself. Lonergan hones in on his personal connections with his ancestry and draws inspiration from the new found outlook on these cultures. One of these connections is to a chain of islands called “The Azores” off the coast of Portugal that inspired the show’s title. Lonergan’s work addresses parts of himself that he never faced head on: his attempt at suicide\, his PTSD from abuse\, his trauma as a young child\, and his experiences with ADHD. With a focus on composition\, visual language\, bold color choices and optical imagery\, Lonergan attempts to explain visually what for years he could not explain in words. As part of his thesis work\, Lonergan effortlessly translates his prints into creative graphic tees and plans to unveil a full line of neon-based shirts in a fashion show on the night of the event.  \nPhoebe “Crazypants” Warner is an interdisciplinary artist based in Boston\, MA. Her work spans a wide range of styles and media. For her contribution to “Lucidez Viva” she uses neon puff paint and fluorescent spray paint to create eye-popping intricate designs on CDs. \nWarner has always used puff paint. At only $1 a bottle\, Warner has found it to be an accessible and versatile media. In her teens\, she could create anything she wanted on AOL free trial CDs that came in the mail every few weeks. She would decorate them with all kinds of different designs and nail them to her wall. It was a meditative and methodical process she used as a coping mechanism through all the trauma and depression she faced on a regular basis. This theme carried through to her senior exhibition at Montserrat College of Art in December 2015. Instead of a two-dimensional plane\, Warner found comfort in giving life to thrift items that nobody wanted anymore. \nWith such an extensive knowledge of puff paint\, Warner is now focusing on the format of the compact disc itself. CDs have become almost entirely obsolete except as an accoutrement for collectors. Warner is using this opportunity to repurpose the CDs to refract light and speak new memories in her intuitive puff paint language. \nAshley Huard’s work is a mixed-media exploration of the five senses: sight\, touch\, taste\, hearing\, and smell. She has challenged herself to illustrate compositions demonstrating action or motion. This concept has led to psychedelic\, repeating patterns that pair harmoniously with the use of UV reactive materials and light. \n“Lucidez Viva” will feature a collection of 7 circular pieces\, from Huard\, ranging in different diameters. These works are to be installed horizontally on the gallery walls\, with the largest piece central. Working from the center out\, the diameter of each piece slightly decreases. The end result of installation will create an eye catching flow of work in an arrow formation. \nHuard realizes the image of the body has a powerful role in our society. This is why she shows interest in celebrating the human body. In the past\, she primarily worked in full body portrait. Now\, she chooses to zone in and shine a spotlight on the specific experiences of the body. Huard aims to remind her viewers of the miraculous capabilities of their bodies. \nMayonashia “May” Jones is a printmaker with backgrounds in painting and collage. She creates works that specifically hit on identity and culture. Her experiences as a mother\, a daughter\, a sister\, a woman\, and a friend influence her work and elevated her self-understanding. Throughout her style of work\, she has expressed losing identity and gaining identity all in one piece. Using nothing but lines and color too portray these feelings. \nFor Jones’ contribution to the Lucidez Viva\, she will be creating neon enhanced acrylic paintings using mirrors as the applying foundation. Just about 15+ different shaped and sized mirrors will be shown installed in different directions and locations of the exhibit to correspond with one another. With the disbursement of these mirrors it is hoped to push the audience to really look pass their own identity while looking into pieces of hers. Jones will also be selling prints of her work for $20 each.

SUMMARY:Are You Still Watching? - Senior Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \n\nNATHANIEL CIOFFI \nBroken Amend/ments \nThis project explores the degradation of meaning through repetition and reinterpretation over time. Each of these works represents a multi-poster series. The process starts by formally typesetting each constitutional amendment. After this\, the font size is systematically increased with each poster causing the language to become distorted. \nThis is symbolic of the repeated reinterpretation of the laws over the decades\, distorting original intents\, and covering up racial injustices that are written into those laws. This project raises the question\, is it time to rewrite the oldest constitution? \nFrustration & Isolation \nThese works have come out of my own reflections on feelings of anger\, frustration\, and isolation in 2020. \nYOU ARE HERE! \nThis project explores the idea that we are all together in our shared feelings of loneliness\, frustration\, and isolation during this unforgettable year. \nI am a local designer operating out of Peabody\, MA. My work explores Political and social themes. Using typography\, photographic media\, animation\, and vector illustration. \n@cioffidesigns.art / cioffidesigns.art \n  \nPAIGE DEMPSTER \nNihilist Dogs \nThere must be a meaning to life\, but I have no clue what it is or what it even could be. I was filled with this existential dread about halfway through the semester\, making it difficult to take care of myself beyond basic survival\, let alone produce any sort of meaningful work. I have a bad habit of letting my emotions bleed into my art\, as well as the lifelong artsy quirk of doodling in the margins of my notebook\, so I put the two together and began drawing these strange looking dogs and combining them with garish handwritten text expressing a nihilist world view\, then I finally cut the images up into small books. The liveliness of the dogs combined with the animated yet existential text create a stark contrast that make them hard to ignore\, and turning the images into books cuts the image up to make them hard to understand\, but able to vaguely piece together if meditated on for long enough\, just like life. I knew from the beginning that I wanted these to be small books so people could take a little bit of this sentiment with them\, so I included a fully pieced together image as a sticker to encourage people to do so. \nI’m Paige\, a graphic design student with an interest in illustration and creative writing. I’ve been going to Montserrat since 2015\, but I struggled for the first two years of my college career\, so I took some time off to recollect myself and set my priorities straight. When I returned to campus in 2018\, my only objectives were to do my best and to not fail; just the bare minimum to survive. Now\, my goals are to never stop improving\, to refine my work\, and still not fail. I’m still not where I want to be\, I don’t know if I ever will be\, but I’m at the point where I can stare at my own art and feel a spark of pride. It took five years for something so small\, but compared to where I was when I started\, the difference is anything but insignificant. Once I graduate\, I hope to settle into freelance design work while working to publish a graphic novel my friend and I are making on the side. \n@paigedempster1 \n  \nMAY FUNDA\nAdrift – Book series \nMy work is about depicting animals in their natural habitats and evoking feelings of being surrounded by them\, as if the viewer is in the image as well. The reason I chose to focus on \naquatic animals is because they always seemed mysterious to me. They’re beautiful and complicated\, and the ocean they live in is so unexplored. The majority of organisms alive currently live under the ocean\, and most of the ocean is unexplored. I wanted to use colors that helped convey the peaceful feeling of each image\, and the text in each image is supposed to  \ncomplement the visuals. I used text taken from spreads in my final book that I printed last semester\, to keep some continuity\, and I repurposed them to fit the images I’ve added or changed for this book. My goal is to be experimental with the placement of text\, using colors and font styles that complement the rhythm of the images from one page to the next. \nMay Funda is an animation major at Montserrat College of Art.  They have been at Montserrat for three years\, after transferring from community college. They were born in Boston but lived in New Jersey  for most of their life. They grew up enjoying art from a young age\, and  had lessons and art summer camp for several years. May also likes to read fiction books and play guitar. They enjoy being around animals  and learning about them\, which has influenced their thesis project. \n@may.funda \n\nGABRIELLE GOMEZ\nThis exhibition presents the work of 3rd\, 4th\, 5th and 6th grade art lessons using the Design Thinking Process. None of the works in this show are “finished” in the traditional sense. As artists\, we continually work on an idea and\, with the steps of the DTP\, keep going back to the drawing board to flesh out our ideas until they are fully realized and problems are solved. \nThis process allows students to become creative problem solvers. The need to be creative thinkers and solvers is especially high during this year as students had to work with materials found at home and be explorative with art supplies that they wouldn’t normally use in the classroom. \nMy goal for these projects is to have students utilize their creativity to find a problem and create a solution by creating a  functional piece of art that solves that problem. In addition to that I want to highlight the necessity of students showcasing their voice with each process step to emphasize why this problem is important for them to solve.  \nGabrielle Gomez is from Dennisport\, MA and has received her BFA with a concentration in Art Education from Montserrat College of Art in 2020. She has an interest in mixed media artwork. She is currently serving her Practicum at Jacob Hiatt Magnet School in Worcester\, MA under Kathryn Egnaczak where she teaches Kindergarten to 6th grade art. She teaches her students about the artistic process of always being in a working period and never “finished” while also showing that art does not have to be made with “real art materials.” A mark can be made the same way with both a ball point pen found in a desk drawer and a paintbrush coated in expensive oils. \n@gabi_gmz97 \n\nCOLE HATCH\nThis final year for me has felt like a rush to the end\, the rapid\, unrelenting shove past the finish line as I completed my final semester at Montserrat during this insufferable pandemic. Though I am sad to be leaving this wonderful community behind me\, I am grateful for the insane progress in my artwork that was made possible due to the people and classes I found here. \nWhat you have here is a glimpse into my sketchbook from this year\, various sketches and drawings from these past few months that I felt deserved a bit of a spotlight. While this is not my end-all be-all set of art\, it is what I am proud of currently\, and I cannot wait to blow it out of the water. My goal is and always will be to keep getting better. No matter where I work\, no matter what I do\, no matter what’s going on. If I can improve my art skills\, I will. That is the goal. So\, I hope that whoever is looking through this little gallery likes flipping through the highlights of my sketch book\, and I want everyone to know that even with all this pandemic garbage going on\, we can all do better\, be better\, and improve in out own ways. The only thing stopping us is ourselves. \nComing from a small town in Maine\, Cole’s passion for art started very young\, like most other things about him did. He talked early\, walked early\, and was doing his best to draw his favorite things fairly early too. Plastered around the house\, in his parents’ offices at work\, or just sitting in piles at home were the many drawings Cole burned through\, usually subsisting of Dinosaurs or Japanese Kaiju causing havoc in small\, colorful crayon-drawn cities. As he aged\, he would continue to be seen as the kid constantly drawing rather than focusing on school work. Art pulled and pushed him through some of the rougher patches of his life\, and continues to this day to be a constant object of improvement and progression\, a pathway forward\, for this young man.  \n@kaiju__kid \n\nEVAN HAWKES\nThis series of sculptures is a beginning of exploration of the idea of modularity in three dimensions and its relation to the process of making instrumental music using synthesizer keyboards and complex digital music computer programs. These sculptures are simply visually abstract forms\, created by combining simple forms or “modules” in different materials. The definition of “modular” in these sculptures is loose\, allowing for more possibilities of what it could be. These sculptures are an experimentation of material and form. \nEvan Hawkes is a sculptor and multi-media artist. He was born in Albuquerque\, New Mexico in August 1996\, but grew up in Beverly. From a young age\, Evan knew he liked to draw and make things. In high school he played live music in bands\, and also made music digitally. \nHe is an experienced mason\, having worked for high-end companies\, and also has done solo work. He has experience shooting analog and digital photography and film\, recording sound\, and building with a wide range of materials. This combination of different skills and interests led Evan to study sculpture at Montserrat College of Art. \n@hawkes_evan \n\nSARAH JAYCOX\nIn my recent work I have been exploring themes of identity and self. My work is closely related to the environment and looks at humanity’s relationship with nature; we are all a part of the natural world and yet many of us view ourselves as separate from the environment that we exist in. With so much man made architecture in our day to day lives it’s easy to view nature as a place outside of our society rather than something that we were born from and carry with us in our very souls. \nThrough the performance piece titled “Take Care” I challenge the idea that we are separate from the natural world that spawned us. I set up a sacred space in the woods on a hiking trail in Beverly MA\, burned herbs to cleanse and soothe the soul\, and hung an enchanted mirror that lets the viewer see their best self in the reflection. This altar to the self was then opened to the public\, so that anyone who was willing to leave their man-made world and venture out into a different environment could cleanse their spirit and look at themselves with reverence. Humanity has become very out of touch with nature\, and that connection is a vital part of our identity. In order to find and accept the self\, we must find ourselves in nature. Through this work I hope to strengthen that connection within myself\, and open others minds to these ideas and ways of thinking. \nSarah Jaycox is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in the North Shore area who works primarily in sculpture. Their work focuses on environmentalism as well as self reflection and acceptance. Jaycox uses a wide array of techniques and mediums to explore humanity’s connection to nature\, the effect that connection has had on identity\, and vice versa.  \n@sarah_elyse_art  \n  \nMIKAYLA KING\n\n  \nFor almost my whole life\, I have been a dancer. It was one of the first artforms I learned to love and perform for many years. Trash is something we come across everyday\, and will continue to come across everyday\, it’s everywhere. Most of our trash ends up in the environment we live in. In my video work\, I incorporate and perform using these two very different subject matters that seem to never encounter each other. I bring the outside world inside by “polluting” my own home with my own trash that I’ve collected. I wanted to create a performance that would give trash a use once again and make it interesting to look at. Wearing my pointe shoes\, I create different visuals and sounds stepping\, kicking\, and dancing with the trash.  \nMikayla King is originally from Spencer\, MA and has received her BFA with a concentration in Photography/Video/Film from Montserrat College of Art in 2020. Mikayla completed an internship at Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester\, MA\, where she had the responsibility to capture\, document\, and edit footage of a variety of exhibitions and events. Such projects have varied from artist conversations\, art workshops\, lectures\, and musical performances.  \nShe is most interested in exploring and learning about different locations where she photographs a variety of subject matter that includes landscapes\, people and their cultures. Mikayla has travelled extensively\, most recently being to the American West\, Iceland and Spain. \n@mimzliz \n\nILEANA MARTINEZ\nWith this project I wanted to do some research into life during the pandemic. Seeing news outlets and other social media highlight odd occurrences with animals crossing into human life or having a positive impact with the lack of animal/human interaction was a fascination of mine\, especially when looking further into these stories and finding whether some of these things were factual or a hoax. I wanted to capture these instances in a narrative that illustrates animals and humans’ adaptation to life during a lockdown. This includes the good\, bad\, and odd that has changed the lives of people and animals. With each illustration you’ll be able to notice the subtle shift of some positive outcomes and some that seem more chaotic or unusual. As a whole\, my work revolves around capturing nature and animals while playing with color and contrast. Combining traditional and digital\, using mainly watercolor to bring it to a finish with texture and brush strokes  and then bringing it digital to play with color and depth. \nYou can find me in the mountains or down by the creek\, creating adventures and memories that inspire me in the work that I create. My work revolves around capturing nature\, animals\, and environments. If not together\, then individually show the beauty of natural life\, focus on specific elements\, and bring storytelling into my work. Many of my pieces combine traditional and digital. Using mainly watercolor\, which I find to be a very versatile material. From broad washes to small opaque lines for detail\, which can bring my work to a finish. I then get it into digital to play with color and depth and amplify contrast in lighting.  \n@I.Martinezstudios / imartinezstudio.com \n\nGREGORY PIERCE\n\n  \nHere is an animation about a sequestered creature trying to cope with its loneliness and the exquisite boredom of eternity. I designed this character to show the more eccentric side of my humor but also to delve into the psychology of an immortality being. This character has lived so long it has become distant from humanity. We usually see wizards or magical beings in movies or books in the jaws of some epic adventure. I thought it would be funny to show them in their downtime\, Trying to add some excitement to the mundanity of everyday life using obtuse spells and rituals to cause mayhem. Much the way we entertain ourselves with indulgent things\, the wizard seeks a magical cure for its boredom. I began set construction and design in the spring of 2019 and completed filming in October of 2020. \nI have always wanted to make cartoons and toys. Stop-motion animation let me combine my passions to create something that was entirely my own. In school\, I struggled to repress my creative energy and buckle down to traditional education. When I discovered the world of animation\, it quickly became my obsession. Experimenting with sculpture and puppets\, I was able to get more creative with my work. Every step was a new challenge\, from learning to edit to set & puppet construction. I looked towards my favorite artist to see what to do. What I realized was; that there was no real limit to what I could do. If I could build it and animate it\, I could bring my ideas to life\, no matter how absurd. \n@gregatr0n8 / @moonbatanimation \n\nDEONNE SOUSA\n\n  \nMy name is Deonne Sousa\, an animator whose primary focus lies mainly in digital work. When it comes to the works I create\, my goal is to evoke certain emotions out of my audience. I want the people who view what I create to feel particular emotions that can come in a range of forms\, some they may not have been expecting. The thing that matters to me is the way in which i can visually convey a story without the use or need for speech. I rely heavily on shot selection and character design to accomplish this. One of my biggest interests lies in exploring the complexities of people and I aim to share these through the works I create.  \nWith this piece “Mask” I wanted to try and make something that invoked both a humorous and kind of mysterious feeling. I wanted to leave the ending to be open to interpretation so that everyone can make their own assumption on what will happen next. The ultimate goal with this piece was to make something that was fun and lighthearted for the viewer to enjoy. \nDeonne Sousa is a Massachusetts born and raised animator. He has his associates in graphic design at Massasoit Community college for Art and his BFA in Animation and Interactive Media from Montserrat College of Art. He has worked on animations about learning disabilities. He was also in two exhibitions in Canton MA where he got to show his artistic prowess. Deonne Sousa is taking pride in his work as an African American artist who hopes to break out strong into the animation field. His strongest desire is to become a storyboard artist with the aspiration to even one day direct his own animated film. At the end of the day though\, Deonne is the kind of person who gets his own joy from someone finding their joy in his art. He’s always ready to spread happy vibes and puts that into every piece he creates. \n@dsousa90  \n

DESCRIPTION:Sydney Gauthier\nClass of 2021\nhttps://www.sydneyrosegauthier.com/\n@sydneyrosegauthier\nSydney is a multimedia Illustrator from New England working to capture the world through a vibrant lens. Each illustration embodies it’s own unique conversation starter\, ranging between political commentary\, body image\, environmentalism\, emotional matters\, and sometimes a toad in stilettos. Through the strong use of value\, striking color pallets\, and compositions that move your eye in an infinite loop around the page\, they captivate the viewer. Their art will hypnotize you into hearing their message. Keeping that in mind\, Sydney works to consistently keep each piece open-ended and available for the start to a long conversation. There is a physicality and life that they bring to each illustration\, allowing the viewer to see the input of their hand and motion of the message. The raw life in Sydney’s work inspires them to keep researching different walks of life and makes them hunger for more knowledge of this creative Earth. \n  \nKatherine Wojcik\nClass of 2021\nhttp://katkreates.art/\n@_kat_kreates\nI am a second-semester senior concentrating in Illustration. My work is very detail and color-oriented with a flare of modern day surrealism. Beyond that\, I’m versed in a variety of different styles and mediums to fit different projects and expectations. Colored pencils\, gouache\, acrylics\, and charcoal are some of the mediums I am fluent in.

SUMMARY:Ngoc-Tran Vu : Made Elsewhere
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \n\n  \nBiography \nNgoc-Tran Vu (she/her) is a 1.5 Vietnamese-American interdisciplinary artist and organizer whose socially engaged work draws from her experience as a community organizer\, educator\, and healer. Tran moves between mediums and materials to work in photography\, painting\, sculpture and social practice so that her art can best resonate and engage with its audience intentionally. Her work evokes discourse of familial ties\, memories and rituals amongst themes of social justice and intersectionality. \nBorn in Vietnam\, Tran came to the United States with her family as political refugees and grew up in Boston’s Dorchester and South Boston working-class neighborhoods. She received her MA in Arts and Politics at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and her BA in Ethnic Studies and Visual Arts at Brown University. Tran works across borders and is based in Boston’s Dorchester community. www.tranvuarts.com \nArtist Statement \nI am a storyteller\, facilitator and interpreter. My work evokes themes of familial ties\, memories\, and rituals amongst issues of social justice and intersectionality. As a first generation Vietnamese American\, interdisciplinary artist whose socially engaged work draws from my background as an organizer\, educator\, and healer\, I am passionate about creating spaces and platforms for cross-cultural storytelling and critical discourse that challenge inequity. \nBorn in Vietnam\, I came to the United States with my family as political refugees and grew up in Dorchester and South Boston’s working-class neighborhoods. I thread my social practice through photography\, painting\, and sculpture so that my art can resonate and engage audiences with intentionality. My experiences as a person of color working with communities inside\, outside and beyond the United States have informed my framing of realities\, visions and possibilities. My deepest influences include my family and friends as well as fellow artists and changemakers from the past\, present\, and beyond. \nTrained as a multimedia artist and community organizer\, I am committed to working with grassroots groups\, especially when it comes to sustainable engagement and generative programming. I am driven to co-create\, support and protect the stories and experiences with communities of color\, refugees and immigrants. Through active participation and holistic facilitation\, I aim to offer new modes of resistance to interrogate and counteract the dominant narrative. I am particularly invested in the intersections of storytelling\, cultures\, and activism\, spotlighting those who are willing to step out of bounds to advance social change. In my own healing journey\, I am continuously exploring and unpacking themes of identity\, justice\, belonging and power. \nProject Statement \nContinuing her Made Elsewhere project\, Tran Vu is constructing a new vision of the Statue of Liberty using recycled and found materials (made outside of the United States). The exhibition explores issues of migration and displacement—particularly of refugees and immigrants—through cultural exchange and storytelling\, and it was developed through the artist’s active collaboration with local groups and organizations advocating for refugees and immigrants’ rights. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beatrice Modisett - Feeding Sugar to the Stump
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nBeatrice Modisett utilizes highly physical processes both in and out of the studio to explore geologic phenomenon\, personal histories\, erosion as a means of creation and the systems humans create in an attempt to navigate\, control and contain landscapes. Modisett earned her BFA in Painting from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly MA and her MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond VA in 2016. She has had solo and group exhibitions at Maier Museum of Art (Virginia); Eastern Connecticut State University (Willimantic\, CT); HallSpace (Dorchester\, MA); Queens Museum (Queens\, NY); and Present Company (Brooklyn\, NY) among others. She has participated in residency programs around the world\, most recently Palazzo Monti in Brescia\, Italy.

SUMMARY:ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS
DESCRIPTION:Hours\nOpen to Montserrat Community or by appointment. \nEXHIBITION STATEMENT: \nAll That And A Bag Of Chips presents the reality of 2020 and our own identities through a lens of abstraction. Themes of isolation\, anxiety\, and idling are revealed in Jake Ursino’s painted figures and Cam Silva’s anthropomorphic ceramic works. Both Cam Silva and Jake Ursino utilize different methods of humor to confront the human form\, in turn portraying the mundane experience that we are all familiar with. All That And A Bag Of Chips reminds us of our relationships with each other as people both socially and individually\, in a society that we’ve created for ourselves. \nCurated by Lexi Palmberg ’21 & Saya Norton ’22 \nJake Ursino\, The Social Distancer\, acrylic & coarse pumice gel on wood panel\, 2020 \n  \nCam Silva\nCeramic Sculptor ‘21\nMy work examines the spatial relationship between forms and the interconnection between interior and exterior. This exploration stems out of my own and others’ relations to the human body\, mind\, and emotion.  I am often inspired by the things around me and in nature\, I also take inspiration from the human body\, as well as emotions\, which are used to create these personified objects and forms. These ideas are usually explored through the use of ceramics with technological kinetic aspects. I am intrigued by the many ways clay can be manipulated and formed and how both humans and machines leave their mark. I like to work in the realm of human-sized proportions because it allows the viewer to relate to the form in a more personal way. This better incorporates the sculpture into our reality rather than leave it confined to a pedestal.  \n  \nJake Ursino \nIllustrator\, Painter ‘17\n    Jake Ursino is a painter and illustrator from Massachusetts. After earning a BFA in Illustration from Montserrat College of Art\, he has since explored other areas of fine art including painting\, sculpture & printmaking. Jake’s work is still rooted in illustration however\, grabbing much of his inspiration from 1990’s animation and DIY aesthetics. Overall\, Jake’s main goal as an artist is to make light of situations around him and create metaphors for a world that seems endlessly full of dark comedies. When he’s chuckling to himself while working\, he knows it’s a good idea. Whether it’s exploring feelings of isolation and depression\, reminiscing about childhood\, or attempting to look cool while eating a cheeseburger in one bite\, Jake’s main consistency in his works is that he approaches all of these things with a sense of humor and a willingness to poke fun at himself and others. The subjects may be silly\, but the work is serious.  \n    Jake has shown in several galleries in Massachusetts’ North Shore and was featured in a group show in Washington D.C. His most recent gallery show “Duck Duck Goose” was showcased at the Mingo Gallery in Beverly\, MA.

SUMMARY:Ashleigh Johns: Moment in Q
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nMy work consistently explores the extension of time\, memory\, space\, sound\, and meditative qualities. Something that falls within that entire realm of thinking is that of breath. Inhale and exhale. With inhalation\, you are physically and mentally accepting something inside you- thoughts\, oxygen\, etc. When you exhale\, it is a memory of the inhale. There is some resemblance\, albeit a different form. These “Exhales” as I’m calling them\, are not just a plain white wood panel as they appear in daylight. As the sun sets\, and the day exhales\, the panels will begin to emit a blue glow- the aftermath of the day’s light and energy. As the evening and night draws on\, the glow will subside\, much as an exhale. \n(During the daylight\, the “Archives” will be visible\, but at night with lights off\, the “Exhales” will be visible.) \nAshleigh Johns creates environments that correspond to the spaces she previously transposed two-dimensionally\, shifting from paintings that reflect a sense of time\, memory\, and space to installations built of light\, video\, and sound. This transition from two-dimensional work to installation work stems from a desire formed out of necessity following the diagnosis of a demyelinating neurological disease. \nSimilar to her paintings and two-dimensional pieces\, light and color continue to command consideration in my installations. Johns introduced sound into their installation work as a mode of enveloping and grounding the viewer within the space. In taking control of that temporal space by playing with the suspension of time\, she invokes the senses to immerse the viewer in a phenomenological experience beyond thought. \nThough loosely based on places from her own memory and experiences\, her use of ambiguous sound and image allow for installations that are widely accessible to all. This also invites the viewer to apply their own experience of memory by appealing to the senses physically\, constructing a metaphysical memory space from the physical installation.

SUMMARY:Kristen Mallia: Memory Device
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nhttps://youtu.be/Nnf07gsrwq8 \nIteration is a transformative\, generative act. Something is designed\, prototyped\, tested\, edited. The acts of the archivist follow an iterative structure\, whereby a collection of memories is evaluated\, sorted\, translated\, and made real. Edits are made over time\, as distance from a memory often alters. The fact that the memory is preserved speaks to its inherent value to the archivist. It is worthy of saving.\n \nArchiving is therefore a ritual of birth\, giving new life to something that is dissolving. Ritual is iteration — a cyclical action performed over time. Repetition yields permanence\, in a way\, solidifying something in one’s mind or daily routine so as to become second-nature\, mindless\, ever present\, preserved. It is through these performances of ritual that we feel safe (in both the physical sense\, and the memorial). \nThe act of archiving demands a physical state of containment\, as well. On a large scale\, architectural spaces become the container for filing systems and information storage. In the virtual realm\, clouds and servers become this sacred store. For my younger self\, the archives were small boxes in which I placed carefully labeled objects that my future self would reflect on as documentation of youth. Today\, those boxes give way to processes and multimedia objects that catalogue experiences\, often through the lens of place. These validate my identity; places become containers for my personal experiences\, suspending certain rituals in time and geography\, and forever planting my identity in physical location. These locations\, then\, trigger emotional associations\, as well\, and their recollection\, too\, can be generative\, instigating new emotional responses\, feelings of displacement\, and inclinations to alter or embellish the original archived condition (distance makes the heart grow fonder). Objects from these moments become sacred\, too\, and their value\, with distance\, grows. The value in my work\, therefore\, comes not only from its contents\, but in its method of creation and subsequent re-presentation within new contexts. Through the ritual of iteration\, content is interpreted\, reworked\, and retouched until it is a new entity\, a modified document. \nKristen Mallia is a multimedia artist and graphic design professor based in Boston\, MA. Her work examines iteration\, collection\, and preservation through installation\, printed matter\, and time-based media. She received her BA in Electronic Media from The George Washington University\, a BFA in Graphic Design from Corcoran College of Art + Design\, and an MFA from Boston University where she was a recipient of the Constantin Alajalov Scholarship (2016\, 2017). Kristen was an Artist-in-Residence at Skaftfell Center for Visual Arts in Seyðisfjörður\, Iceland\, and recipient of an Opportunity Fund Grant from the City of Boston in 2020.

SUMMARY:VISIBILITY: Meghan Kausel · Erein Ruiz · Stacy Thomas-Vickory
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community or by appointment. \nIn collaboration with Meg Grant\, Director of the Academic Access Studio\, we proudly present  \n\n  \nVisibility:  Erein James Ruiz · Meghan Kausel · Stacy Thomas Vickory.  \nVisibility calls for the acknowledgement and recognition for artists with disabilities. The artists we have chosen to represent Visibility demonstrate a strong sense of personal expression not only in their work but with their voices. Combined together\, we see a group of artists using marks and imagery to help identify and express their own experiences and identities. \nVisibility presents a range of clarity\, with light and darkness; the darkness painted over the walls invites the viewer to look harder and become more aware and mindful of the environment and community we surround ourselves with. Visibility invites everyone to take a new perspective and welcome personal expression in the changing environment we find ourselves in. We invite anyone struggling to find support with their own practice to reach out to Meg Grant and to hear the artists of Visibility speak about their own personal experiences.  \n  \nMeghan Kausel\nAlumni ‘17\nPrintmaking\, automatic drawing\, mark making \nMeghan Kausel is a North shore based artist and gallery intern\, working in Beverly\, MA. Meghan is a graduate of Montserrat College of Art with a BFA in Fine Arts\, with a concentration in Printmaking and an Art History minor. Meghan has shown in 301 Gallery\, Off the Record\, Schlosberg Gallery\, 222 Cabot Gallery\, Mingo Gallery\, and Gallery Naga. Her monochromatic prints and drawings focus on the exploration of automatic movement through mark making \n  \nErein James Ruiz\nStudent ‘22\nInterdisciplinary\, mixed media\, painting \nErein James Ruiz is an interdisciplinary artist who works through multiple mediums and various motifs. The artist make sure to not only challenge themselves in creating new original work but in consideration of what they want to understand. \n“Art has always been a rewarding and important aspect of my life. Pushing me to understand my own self-worth and my own aspirations as an individual. Concerning the Visibility Show and its aspirations as a show\, I have a special respect for moments in life that aim to direct audiences to the awareness of those who have become less able to express and understand.” \n\n  \nStacy Thomas-Vickory\nFaculty and Alumni ’91\nInterdisciplinary\, mixed media\, drawing\, and collage \nStacy Thomas-Vickory is a collector of images\, marks\, moments and visions. The current work in collage reflects hours of aimless wandering through nature and discarded imagery. Combining varied interpretations of the natural world\, they offer visual incantations whispered in dark times. \n\nCurated by Saya Norton ’22 and Alexis Palmberg ’21.

SUMMARY:Bruce Orr: Handshadow Pixie Parade
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nViewable 24/7 from street \nThis mural shows a young artist holding her hand up to make a shadow that transforms into a dragon. Behind her is a parade of creatures flying towards a blue and green planet. Bruce strives to inspire others with this narrative. Especially in times of great oppression\, creative people still find ways to create. That perseverance is/was/and always will be inherently healthy for our country. \nBruce writes “When I was a little kid I made puppet shows behind our couch. I made a series of books called “The Wacky Monster Dictionary” in which each letter of the alphabet had four creatures I invented. I made wooden boats and set up shop in front of my house in Delaware City. It never mattered to me that business was not booming in my little town next to an oil refinery. What mattered is that I was doing it\,doing it myself and sharing it with the world. In my lifetime I created a puppet company out of trash\, self published comics that I printed at kinko’s and painted lots of murals in places that I felt were special\, like SCRAP (the School and Community Reuse Action Project) in Portland\, Oregon. My favorite things are monsters\, robots\, bugs and spaceships. I’m an illustrator\, painter\, puppeteer\, muralist\, cartoonist\, educator and Art Therapist. Since getting my master’s degree in 1996\, the only guy in my class\, I have worked exclusively in the arts\, because it’s what I love. For a lot of us\, art stirs the soul. It has never been enough for me to just make art alone. I have always worked in the public\, from psychiatric institutions to farmer’s markets. The recurrent themes of all of my artwork are environmental stewardship\, being a weirdo and holding on to the magical energy of the boy who turned his attic into a spaceship.” \nBruce Orr is an Art Therapist at RAW Art Works

SUMMARY:ADVOCACY: STUDENTS PROJECTS FUNDED BY THE LDFA
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm \nThe Learning Disabilities Foundation of America (LDFA) grants funds to organizations and institutions each year that promote awareness and education about learning disabilities. Located in Pittsburg\, Pennsylvania\, the LDFA provides funds for research and education and to broaden the base of public awareness in the field of Learning Disabilities. The Foundation provides support for charitable\, scientific\, literary or educational purposes\, and specifically for the accurate identification\, ongoing evaluation and complete education of and services for children and adults with learning disabilities. \nMeagan Grant\, Director of the Academic Access Studio and Blyth Hazen\, Animation and Interactive Media Faculty\, submitted a grant proposal and the LDFA awarded money for the two projects seen here. The focus of both of these projects was self-advocacy. The transition from high school to college can be a challenging one and students with learning disabilities must quickly learn to advocate for themselves. This task can be daunting with new expectations\, new instructors\, and a new environment. It was the goal to make both of these projects entertaining\, engaging\, and informative. \nTwo teams of students worked diligently to create both of these projects through research\, development\, collaboration\, and creation. Managing their course load was difficult enough\, but then the onset of COVID-19 posed a new hurdle. Each of these artists continued with dedication and enthusiasm throughout a stressful and uncertain time. \nWe are proud to present: \nKeith Davis ’22 & Deonne Sousa ’20\nOur Guide to Self Advocacy\nDigital animation\, 2020 \n\nDorian Eason ’20 & Anya Voshchullo ’21\nPawsabilities: Self Advocacy in College\nVideo game\, 2020 \n \n  \nIn spring 2020\, we were proud to have the creators of the projects speak with Industry Professionals! \n\n  \nKeith Davis and Deonne Sousa in conversation with Taylor K.

SUMMARY:Andrew Tricoche - Break The Frame
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nFor my largest mural to date\, I wanted to utilize the location to include a message to passerby’s: ‘BREAK THE FRAME’. ‘Frames’ can be anything in your life that are keeping you from having new and exciting experiences. I attempt to break my frames each day\, by constantly working to push my art somewhere new and allowing my mind to be challenged by different ideas. What are your ‘frames’? \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAndrew Tricoche is a Puerto-Rican artist born and raised in Lowell\, MA. He was the middle child to a family of 5\, not including his mother who raised them single-handedly. At a young age\, Andrew realized his talents and interest in art and would compete with his siblings and peers. That inevitably led to his pursuit of the arts – from focusing his studies at Greater Lowell Tech in Graphic Design to getting his BFA at the Montserrat College of Art in 2019. He now works as the Graphic Designer for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and continues to pursue other venues of creation with his spare time. This includes painting murals\, taking commissions\, and just making art for the sake of having fun. \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:SOME GLIMPSE OF LIFE
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \n“Teresa Baker\, Carly Glovinski\, and Emma Rhodes redefine the structural design\, patterns\, and texture inherent in everyday materials. They create familiar objects that behave strangely and strange objects behave ordinarily. Their work is intentionally peculiar and precarious. It challenges our assumptions about the things we interact with every day\, like the things we hold and the things that hold us. Some Glimpse of Life is an obfuscation of the familiar and strange– the behavior of objects and materials– the magnification of nostalgia and the overlooked– the moments of life and the everyday.”\n–Kevin Lucey \n  \nTeresa Baker\nteresabaker.com \nTeresa’s mixed media work has much in common with gestural abstract painting\, creating passages of saturated and gradient color and juxtaposed textures. Her often large-scale works evoke art historical antecedents from Rothko and Klee as well as traditional loom\, map-making\, and the natural topography of the Northern Plains. Her abstract “landscapes” however are not at all paintings — instead\, she works in a collage-like method incorporating textiles and unconventional materials from AstroTurf to buffalo hide\, felt to beads and basket-weaving. In this way\, she honors both her modern aesthetic and the materials and cultural metaphors of her childhood. Baker is the newest recipient of the Ucross Foundation’s Fellowship for Native American Visual Arts. \n  \nCarly Glovinski\ncarlyglovinski.com \nRooted in observation and inspired by an interest in handicraft techniques and processes\, Carly Glovinski makes paintings\, sculpture\, and works on paper that often teeter between representation and abstraction. Glovinski’s work often simulates or depicts everyday household objects and uses the geometric patterns and structures found in textiles as a springboard for exploring the abstract. Her practice is informed by the resourceful attitudes associated with the domestic craft tradition as well as a reverence for nature and the great outdoors. \nGlovinski is represented by Morgan Lehman Gallery in New York\, NY. She has been awarded residencies at the Studios at MASS MoCA (North Adams\, MA); Teton ArtLab (Jackson\, WY); and the Vermont Studio Center\, and has received grants from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation\, the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation\, and the Blanche Colman Trust. She has had solo exhibitions at Colby Museum of Art (ME); Morgan Lehman Gallery; Indianapolis Contemporary; and Carroll and Sons (Boston\, MA).  \n  \nEmma Rhodes\nemmarhodes.art \nDrawing from a childhood enchantment with utilitarian objects\, Emma Rhodes makes sculptures and textiles with a focus on the traditional craft of handweaving. \nRhodes’ work is an on-going study of materiality — a pairing of objects that are handmade with a delicate touch and items which are fabricated with utility and durability in mind. An emphasis is placed on the manner in which these works are displayed (bundled\, piled\, stacked\, draped\, folded) to create a scene that is simultaneously familiar and strange. \nRhodes has had solo exhibitions at The Hallway Gallery (Boston)\, Room 68 (Provincetown) and Anthropologie (Cambridge). Her work was included in the benchmark exhibition Fiberart International at the Society for Contemporary Craft (Pittsburgh) in 2016. Her studio is located in Dedham\, Massachusetts. \n  \nhttps://youtu.be/_Ka-dVDmhE4

SUMMARY:WELCOME TO THE FUTURE\, I HATE IT HERE: MIKE HINSON
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nWELCOME TO THE FUTURE\, I HATE IT HERE is a series of posters illustrating a humorous vision of a reality that is unfortunately not so far away. Using a recurring set of characters\, design elements\, and classic cyberpunk references to create a shared world\, each poster laughs through the tears of realizing that you’ve been trapped in a futuristic hellscape. \n\n  \nMike Hinson is an illustrator and designer from Wilmington\, Delaware currently based in Brooklyn\, New York. His work is heavily influenced from years of watching too many cartoons\, listening to too much rap\, and playing too many video games.Outside of his personal artistic practice\,  he was a longtime illustrator for Buzzfeed creating designs for hundreds of articles. Currently he is a Creative Designer at Tik–Tok. \n\nHave you received your UPGRADE? \nHinson developed a specific Instagram Filter in conjunction this exhibition\, download it here:\nhttps://www.instagram.com/ar/2163271417153018/ \n  \nPress: \nWelcome to the Future\, I Hate it Here\, Cate McQuaid\, The Boston Globe

SUMMARY:JACKSON HALEY
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nBy appointment \nMy work draws inspiration from the worlds of pop culture\, folklore and weird history. When working with pop culture and folklore\, I take phrases and song lyrics and explore them through different typographic elements. Letterpress printing allows me to work directly with physical pieces of type\, which limits what I am able to design with while pushing me to explore the same few typefaces in different ways. With these limitations I create designs that give common phrases new life\, by emphasizing different words to influence how the reader perceives these phrases. When working with history\, I embrace the history of letterpress printing as a means of spreading information in the form of newspapers and headlines. Taking design inspirations from the justified text in old newspapers\, I create dense blocks of type with enough information to walk away with a knowledge of whatever topic is at hand. Letterpress printing is a process that is rife with tests and misprints. Instead of discarding these I hold on to them to create monoprints\, layering different prints on top of one another until a new print is made. These become new\, one of a kind pieces\, retaining the process of how it was made with multiple layers distorting and abstracting letterforms and images that are often easily read and understood. \nJackson Haley is a letterpress printer living and working in Massachusetts. Graduating from Montserrat College of Art in 2018 with a concentration in printmaking\, he then fell headfirst into the world of letterpress printing by interning at Hatch Show Print in Nashville\, Tennessee soon after graduation. Upon returning to Massachusetts\, he began working as a printer for letterpress shops in the Boston area\, while building up a small print studio of his own to continue making prints. He is currently the printer for Albertine Press in Cambridge\, has also printed for Goosefish Press and Smudge Ink and has taught workshops at The Brickyard Collaborative. \nhttps://daysleeperpress.carbonmade.com/

SUMMARY:HERE
DESCRIPTION:Various Locations \nReception N/A \nHERE is a series of performances projected across numerous digital platforms. It is an investigation\, reaction\, and dialogue about Art on the Screen. \nHERE explores the trivium of subject\, camera\, and observer. It concerns itself with time\, in that the works are temporal and permanent; performance and document. It ponders the voyeuristic paradigm many are navigating in the age of COVID-19 where we are physically separated yet invited into each other’s homes.  Moments happen and are held in no place places. They are here\, anywhere\, everywhere\, and nowhere. \n  \nPERFORMANCES\nMonday\, June 15\n \n\nJimena Bermejo\nTabled\n2:00–6:00pm\nYOUTUBE LIVE \nTuesday\, June 16 \n\nMandy Cano Villalobos\nSanities and Solitudes: Blow (Birthday)\n7:00–7:30pm\nFACEBOOK LIVE \nWednesday\, June 17 \n \nMorehshin Allahyari\nShe Who Sees the Unknown (Aisha Qandisha)\n7:00–7:30pm\nVIMEO \nThursday\, June 18 \n\nKirk Amaral Snow\nUntitled\n7:00–7:30pm\nINSTAGRAM LIVE \nFriday\, June 19 \n\nJovan Brock\n6:30–6:40pm\nINSTAGRAM LIVE \n\nJylik Buissereth\nSurvey and Herd\n7:00–7:30pm\nINSTAGRAM LIVE \n  \nARTISTS\nJimena Bermejo\nhttps://www.jimenabermejo.com/ \nJimena Bermejo is a dancer\, choreographer\, performance artist\, and dance educator. She holds an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design’s Studio for Interrelated Media and a BFA in Dance from The Boston Conservatory. Bermejo is the Director of the Dance Program at The College of the Holy Cross in Worcester and is currently faculty at Berklee College of Music\, and The Massachusetts College of Art and Design. \nAfter twenty years as a performer on stage in theaters striving for perfection\, Bermejo is now interested in imperfection and in breaking the separation between audience and performer. Her technique includes movement\, text\, and performance actions to interact with the audience and bring them closer and into the work. Experimenting with closeness and live feed video\, she uses her own experiences\, good and bad\, from her personal history which include issues of race\, trauma\, growing up in Mexico in a family of artists\, as a mother\, as a cat owner\, all to draw emotional content in her work and frame the performance space as a place where both the viewer and artist can feel safe to share it. \nMandy Cano Villalobos\nhttps://www.mandycano.com/ \nMandy Cano Villalobos is an interdisciplinary artist whose projects span installation\, painting\, drawing\, performance\, sculpture and video. She received her MFA from The George Washington University in Washington\, DC. and currently resides in Grand Rapids\, MI. Cano Villalobos has exhibited and performed both nationally and internationally. \nHer work is informed by her life experiences and focuses on the intersection of chronological progression\, personal memory\, and the atemporality of ritual. Cano Villalobos works in a variety of genres seeking to utilize diverse approaches in order to situate her personal history and practice within a larger\, human history. Her projects are a materialization of time\, a record of her process and life. \nMorehshin Allahyari\nhttp://www.morehshin.com/ – http://shewhoseestheunknown.com/ \nMorehshin Allahyari is an artist\, activist\, writer\, and educator. She was born and raised in Iran and moved to the United States in 2007. Her work deals with the political\, social\, and cultural contradictions society faces every day. She thinks about technology as a philosophical toolset to reflect on objects and as a poetic means to document our personal and collective lives and struggles in the 21st century. Allahyari is the co-author of The 3D Additivist Cookbook in collaboration with writer/artist Daniel Rourke. \nAllahyari has been part of numerous exhibitions\, festivals\, and workshops around the world. She is the recipient of the leading global thinkers of 2016 award by Foreign Policy magazine. Her 3D Additivist Manifesto video is in the collection of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, and recently she has been awarded major commissions by Rhizome\, New Museum\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, Liverpool Biennale\, and FACT to work on developing different components of her current project She Who Sees The Unknown. \nKirk Amaral Snow\nhttps://www.kirkamaralsnow.com/ \nKirk Amaral Snow is a Baltimore-based intermedia artist. He holds BA’s in Art History and Studio Art from the University of Rhode Island and an MFA from Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston. \nHis practice investigates the relationship between the built world and performative aspects of culture. Shaped by the DIY Punk scene as much as visual art\, his work finds a middle ground between the minimalism of early Wire\, the poetic cultural critique of DC’s Revolution Summer bands\, and the post-minimal and conceptual art practices of the 60’s and 70’s. \nInfluenced by the idea of “vernacular building”\, Amaral Snow finds a similar poetics to what Rolling Stone’s Paul Nelson saw in the Ramones when he described them as “authentic American primitives”. In designing sculptural objects and performances\, this idea becomes the lifting off point to explore the shifting\, slippery\, and conflicted US national identity through construction-grade building materials placed in simple\, yet poetic relationships. The materials enact gestures where the temporary is made permanent\, the disposable is made monumental\, and the transient becomes fixed. \nJovan Brock\nhttps://www.instagram.com/zhayday13/ \nBrock is a Military Veteran and current student at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. He has attended rallies throughout Colorado to demand justice for George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Sean Reed and others who have died at the hands of police. \nJylik Donell Buissereth \nJylik Donell Buissereth\, born and raised in New York City\, has pursued art since childhood. Attending the High School of Art and Design allowed him to explore graphic design as an artistic passion\, but he did not begin to fully flourish as an artist until declaring sculpture as his major in college. He has exhibited in several shows across campus\, namely the I/Object Show as well as The Thing Is\, both held in Montserrat’s 301 Gallery. Buissereth received his BFA at Montserrat College of Art in 2020. \nWith the clash of bright toxic colors and stimulating designs\, born from his love of graffiti and street art\, Buissereth channels all the contemporary culture and influence he absorbs into artistic expressions of the mind. A large part of what drives his practice is the pursuit of the overlooked. He seeks out the beauty in things that have been abandoned and left behind. His material choice is based around what he considers to be pillars of our society metal\, stone\, and glass. Buissereth finds excitement in taking a table\, a man-made structure or object built from these materials\, found in the trash and bringing new function to it as an automatic expression.

SUMMARY:LATE BLOOMER
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nT–F\, 11:30am–2:30pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception N/A \nLate Bloomer connects our exploration of physical and emotional placements\, through politics\, travel\, abandoned homes\, printmaking\, and allegories. \nAnnie is trying to educate an uninformed audience on Asian-US relations while also assessing her own placement and privilege as an Asian in America. Housed in an ominous black box\, the roughly 20 minute film will be a compilation of archival footage from Asian and American newcasts\, war footage\, propaganda\, films and plays\, and home movies. \nCayla has been working on a series of photographs that relate to fear and anxiety\, as well as exploring the idea of spirituality. What she is portraying is ambiguity\, a sense of mystery and/or chaos. Pairing text with her digital and film images she has created narratives in hopes to evoke questions\, concerns\, or relations to the viewer. These “anxiety inducing” photographs will be paired with self portraiture work\, a way to connect the artist to the anonymous answers of the phrases to herself\, as well as representing this theme of fear as a personal one. Along with hanging and framing photographs on the wall (around 15 prints)\, there will also be zines on display and possibly for sale. \nDenali has been working on a series of monotypes using orbs to depict herself and the way she experiences and processes emotions. She has recently been exploring the use of non-rectangular paper and placement of the orbs to create the illusions of the orbs pulling the paper in different directions. Embossment has also played a major role in her work to play with the idea of something having been or something that was. Denali plans on hanging her work salon style just above eye level to create the feeling of the orbs looking down on the viewer. \nMareson is working on a photo series focused around abandonment. Through black and white film he captures the traces of lives once lived in an abandoned homestead in Boxford\, and his own ghostly marks as he enters and changes the space. The photographs will be up on display in a recreation of the house\, and a soundscape of the building will be playing inside as well to give the viewer the feeling of being inside the building. \nDavid has been working on a series of figurative monoprints. The prints are double-edged in regards to his studio practice as well as in his use of the medium. In one regard the prints are about the growth of monoprinting in his work from a side-involvement\, to a more fully realized practice in his painting process. Aside from the technical exploration\, the monoprints are figurative in nature. The self portraits are heavily influenced by David’s state of mind throughout the semester and last year . The ideas range from experiences in trying to unlearn some of the reservations within his own practice\, to personal afflictions regarding relationships with himself and others. The struggle is more evident in the handling than the content of the prints. The prints are to be framed and hung traditionally on the walls. \nZeynep has been working on a series of paintings on glass with photographs. She is using oil paints on 12”x16” glass to create different foregrounds and backgrounds. Then specifically choosing a diverse photograph to go with the painting. She wants to bring attention to the idea of breaking realism. The story of The Allegory of the Cave by Plato\, inspired her to show the idea of how something may not seem what it is. \n

SUMMARY:OMEGA POINT
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours: By appointment \nReception: N/A \nOur show is about tying together elements of space and color through two dimensional and three dimensional works\, in a way that plays with surfaces and patterns while bringing in our own experiences and personalities as the basis for our content. Each of us utilize overlapping elements throughout our work\, for example: the use of sculptural form within Jylik\, Jaime\, and Matthews three dimensional works\, which form connection to the elements of shape\, space\, and depth within Shannon\, Jack\, and Matthews two dimensional works. Whether it be through abstraction or figuration\, each of us hone in on the fundamental presence of the elements of art (i.e. space\, color\, abstraction\, figuration) and apply various contemporary approaches. Through this we explore the line between the real and the abstract\, during a time where this line is fleeting. \nFeaturing:\nJaime Fox\nJack Fay\nJylik Buissereth\nMatthew Rucki\nShannon Herrick\nSylvia Burger

SUMMARY:Disposition of the Moment
DESCRIPTION:Reception: N/A \nEach artwork shares insights and moments from the perspective of the artist’s world whether it be a fantasy world of rabbits and scissors or a world grounded in the morality of sinners and saints. We each capture fleeting moments of inspiration into permanent fixtures of paint\, sculpture\, and the blunt photograph\, and arrange them into this collective of shared perspective.\nThe artists belong together because they share the same passion to create images that are important to their life and world. They want to capture the rules\, time and space of their environment\, and give the public a chance to be enveloped into their world. The painters share similar loves of bold color and their method of abstraction\, the sculptor and photographer share a realistic view of personal world boundaries\, and the creative inbetweeners share a sight only they can describe and see through the strange and fantastical. It is a collective of line\, color and shape that inserts you into the abode of the artists and how they arrange the moment. \nFeaturing: \nHunter Lamore\nGabrielle Gomez\nVanessa Wyman\nMelissa DiCostanzo\nSusan Drennan\nJared Adams\nMargaret Skerry\nDillian McGahey

SUMMARY:BREADTH: REFERENCING PHOTOGRAPHY
DESCRIPTION:Marblehead Arts Association\n8 Hooper Street\nMarblehead\, MA 01945 \nGallery Hours\nTue-Sun\, 12–5pm \nReception: March 15th\, 2–4pm \nThis exhibition explores Montserrat faculty’s unique relationship to the photographic media. As the title implies\, we aim to exhibit the breadth of the medium and its ever evolving definition; from traditional lens-based creations to computer generated. The artist-faculty of Montserrat wade the grey waters between made and taken\, representational and abstract\, staged and found\, analog and digital\, and the myriad of false dichotomies. Through this we discover that photography is no stable media bordered with dogmatic rules\, rather it is a reflection of changing technology\, a barometer for observation\, and a vehicle to explore territories of art heretofore unknown.\nEthan Berry is a producer and designer for film\, video\, and performance events\, he is a past president of the Board of Directors of the Boston Film/Video Foundation\, which was founded in 1976 in order to provide for artists an organizational support system for the creation of independent film video. \nRon DiRito‘s work is based on the time-honored traditions of documentary photography but other projects source various materials which include original and discreet imaging\, discrete and vernacular writing\, sampling\, appropriation\, printmaking\, installation\, artist’s books\, audio and video media and super 8mm film. \nJulia Buntaine Hoel is interested in what has proven to be the most complex puzzle\, the epitome of emergence\, the deepest well our sciences have examined; the brain. The instantiation of form and function united\, from the molecular to the level of Neuroscience as a discipline\, her work addresses the beliefs\, theories and findings of the biological phenomenon of consciousness \nJesse Kahn currently employs photography\, graphic design\, traditional handicrafts\, and sculptural techniques to explore Gay male sexuality and concerns over the division between public and private space\, freedom of expression\, and between personal & national security. \nGabrielle Keller is an artist and an educator. Her photographs are included in The Polaroid International Collection\, The Museum of Art at RISD\, The Fogg Art Museum\, The Center for Creative Photography\, and other corporate collections. \nJulia Buntaine Hoel\, Territory 1\, 2017. 16″ x 24″. Created from microscopy photographs\, taken by the artist\, of rhesus macaque brain slides. Printed on aluminum.
