SUMMARY:A Mirror for You
DESCRIPTION:Area Gallery\n460 C Harrison Ave\nBoston\, Massachusetts 02118 \nGallery Hours\nW-Sat.\, 12pm–6pm\nSun.\, 11–5pm \nReception: September 6th\, 6–8:30pm \nA Mirror For You\, curated by Kevin Lucey\, includes work by 9 artists from Massachusetts\, Connecticut\, New York\, Texas\, and Colorado who create work that challenges our assumptions of what we consider painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and installation. Theresa Anderson\, Taylor Clough\, Susan Carr\, Mel DeWees\, Brian Galderisi\, Jamey Hart\, Joe LoVasco\, Brendan MacAllister\, and Boris Ostrerov push those boundaries in strange and thought-provoking ways. \n  \nA Mirror For you is a pink blob\, neon tube\, rainbow rug\, paint mixer\, horse filled horse. It reflects the humor\, obsertities\, and quiet moments that are often overlooked and unacknowledged. A Mirror For You may challenge you\, too\, and ask you to look within yourself to see beyond yourself. This exhibition is a mirror\, for you.

SUMMARY:Adrián Fernández Milanés: Pending Memories September 3–October 12\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nT–F 11:30am–2:30pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 5th\, 5–8pm \nA solo exhibition of Havana-based multimedia artist\, Adrián Fernández Milanés. PENDING MEMORIES builds upon Milanés’ exploration of the artifice\, the spectacle of consumerism\, technological constructs (tangible and digital)\, and beyond. This iteration showcases a massive mixed-media sculpture reminiscent of an advertising billboard or the corpse of a military installation. At the foot of this altar does one gaze in awe or cower in defeat? Yet\, is it cloaked by banality of frequency in which we view the countless structures that dot our landscape and consciousness? \n\n\nMilanés studied visual arts at the San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy (2004) and later at the Superior Institute of Arts (2010) in Havana. From 2010 to 2012\, he trained at The Ludwig Foundation of Cuba and New York University\, Tisch School of the Arts Special Programs\, where he also taught. \n\nHe has exhibited extensively\, from Berlin to New York\, Houston to Antwerp\, including an installation for the 2019 Havanna Biennal\, Monument to an Incomplete Man. He is working towards a 2020 solo exhibition at the Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Wifredo Lam\, one of Cuba’s leading institutions.\n\n\nThis opportunity is made possible thanks to a partnership with A R E A Gallery\, Boston\, MA.\n\n

SUMMARY:WAR DEPT
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: September 17th\, 5–7pm \nThe War Dept. was adapted from a music theater piece by Jim Bauer and Ruth Bauer that was commissioned by the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University\, as part of a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of American Civil War. The War Dept. (music and lyrics by Jim Bauer\, script by Jim Bauer and Ruth Bauer) had a workshop performance at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in 2014. Blyth Hazen and Ruth Bauer collaborated on this adaptation\, transforming some of the elements of The War Dept. into a stop action video using puppets and a miniature set. \nBlyth Hazen makes things that move. Sometimes they are animations that appear to move on their own. Other times they need more assistance like a puppet\, robot\, or an automaton. She is a professor at Montserrat College of Art where she encourages her students to gesticulate and move around as much as possible.  Examples of her sculptural\, robotic and programmed animations can be seen at www.blythhazen.com.  \nRuth Bauer loves to combine images with narrative in lots of different media\, and now in a new fascination\, with puppets and stop action video. She is the co-creator\, with her husband composer Jim Bauer\, of the theater productions The Blue Flower and The War Dept. Ruth believes as strongly in nurturing young artists as in making art\, and is a faculty member and Chair of the Arts Department at Shore Country Day School in Beverly\, Massachusetts. More information about her various projects can be found at www. ruthbauer.com \n \nThe War Dept. from Blyth Hazen on Vimeo. \n

SUMMARY:Ashley Brown Durand:  It's Ok To Feel Things
DESCRIPTION:Carol Schlosberg Alumni Gallery\nHardie Building\n23 Essex Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 12th\, 5–7pm \n“I created the very first “It’s OK” banner for myself\, because I needed the reassurance. I was working multiple jobs at the time\, and never seemed to have enough free time to bring all my ideas to fruition. I was looking at a lot of imagery from the Woman’s Suffrage Movement\, and was especially interested in the handwork involved behind the scenes. Not only were these women fighting for their (our) rights\, but they were also creating every sash worn\, every banner carried\, by hand\, one at a time. I was moved by that thought alone. The time spent stitching each letter on an object that would move people to think\, to act. I knew I wanted to work with this idea somehow (I actually intended to make affirmation quilts). Very early into this project I stumbled upon a couple other artists using affirmations in wall hangings and I began to feel defeated before I even got started\, even though their work was nothing like what I wanted to make. So I created the “It’s OK” banner to remind myself to keep moving forward. To make my own work\, my own way. That was in the summer of 2010. Nine years later\, I’ve made over 7000 affirmation banners to help remind people all over the world to keep pushing forward\, to be kind\, to be brave.” – Ashley Brown Durand \nhttps://shop.secretholidayco.com

SUMMARY:PHOEBE WARNER: Parallel Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \n  \nParallel Reflections\nWe are points moving\, hovering\, and shifting.\nSometimes our points meet\nThey shiver together \n(For a moment) \nMost points move away so quickly\nWe don’t give them a second thought \nBut when the shiver resonates for long distances\,\nTurn back\,\nReflect. \n  \nPhoebe “Crazypants” Warner is a Boston-based interdisciplinary artist. Since her graduation from Montserrat College of Art in December 2015\, Warner has moved on to working as a painting mentor and assistant curator at Artists For Humanity in South Boston. When she isn’t working in the city\, she spends her time hiking mountains as a way to clear her mind and give her new perspectives. In a bustling metropolis\, it is hard to find moments of true quietude and self-reflection. Thus her current goal is to share the lessons\, views\, and insights she collects on the trails with her urban communities through immersive visual representation paired with poetic musings. “Parallel Reflections” is the first large-scale installation based on this theme. \nCatch her next show “Fragility” anytime in October!\nOpening October 4th at Flowering Rock Gallery\nSoWA 460 C Harrison Ave 17C\, Boston\, MA.

SUMMARY:JULIAN HOWLEY: BUILDING BETTER MOBS
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours \nThrough August 17\nM-Th\, 10am–5pm\nF\, 10am–1pm\nSat\, 12-5pm \nStarting August 19\nM-Th\, 10am–5pm\nSat\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 12th\, 5–7pm \nBuilding Better Mobs\, a solo interactive installation exhibit by artist and printmaker Julian Howley\, showcases multimedia works inspired from Massachusetts’ past coupled with current motifs of radical pessimism and mass movement. Combining his personal dystopian themes\, mascots\, and parody branding with similar subjects inspired by local history\, such as the\nMassachusetts Bay Colony\, Dogtown Village\, and the Great Depression. \nJulian Howley’s exhibition hopes to present art that exists squarely for use by the public commons and draws and inspires from the local public history of societal collapse\, collective outrage\, and potential chaotic rebirth. His work looks upon the tradition of gonzo illustration and global comic pulp\,\nalong with vintage woodcut printing and its symbolism\, showing to us figures and topics that exist as uncanny mascots of frenzied entropic energy and gleeful self-destruction \nhttps://www.julian-howley.com/

SUMMARY:NORMAN LALIBERTE: INSIDE THE MIND OF A MAKER
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nThursday–Friday\, 11:30am–2:30pm\nSaturday\, 12:00–5:00pm \nReception: June 20th\, 5–7pm \nInside the Mind of a Maker is a document and a fiction\, a retrospective and interpretation\, of the consciousness of the prolific artist\, Norman Laliberté. The stage is set as a cartographic journey through the years and various materials used throughout Laliberté’s career. The forty-two banners displayed in the gallery range from the 1960s to the 2000s and represent his numerous explorations of form and content\, from completely abstracted color studies to pictorial likenesses resembling ancient hieroglyphics. Figures\, flora\, fauna\, gods\, and ghosts dance upon the tapestries portraying tales and vignettes as complex as the great sagas of antiquity. Think of your time in the labyrinth as a hero’s quest; venture into the banners and experience the intricacies inside the mind of maker…you might be surprised at what you’ll find! \nBiography: \nBorn in Worcester\, Massachusetts of French Canadian parents\, Norman Laliberté grew up in Montreal\, returning to the U.S. to complete his education in Chicago. He first achieved international recognition as the design consultant for the Vatican Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair of 1964. \nHis 88 banners were an ingenious solution for an all-glass building with virtually no walls. Using the vibrant play of colour and light\, Laliberté creates cheerful\, energetic interpretations on themes of love and frolic\, joy and plenty\, that are highly symbolic and evocative. His abundant talents have been the subject of over 100 solo shows across America and Canada. \nHis work can be found in over 75 major public and corporate collections\, including some of the most prestigious such as the Smithsonian Institute\, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection\, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. He has also been the author of over twenty books on many aspects of contemporary art. Still active\, Laliberté lives and works in Nahant\, Massachusetts. \nSpecial thanks: Norman Laliberté\, Laurel Laliberté\, Kristian Laliberté\, and Jan Saragoni \nNorman Laliberté\, The Ticket: What’s Happening in the Local Arts World\, Cate McQuaid\, Boston Globe \nExhibit of artist Norman Laliberte banners at Montserrat College\, Beverly Patch

Krosoczka offered the keynote address to the class\, and Graphic Design/Book Arts instructor Jesse Kahn was selected by the students to present the faculty address. Graduating senior Emily Fox was chosen by her classsmates to give the student speech. Mayor Michael P. Cahill gave the greetings of the City of Beverly. \nStudent and faculty awards were also presented. On Thursday night \, May 16\, at 6 pm\, Jarrett J. Krosoczka presented a free public lecture at The Cabot\, followed by a reception and viewing of his work in Montserrat College of Art’s Hardie Building\, 23 Essex St. The event was sponsored by Eastern Bank. \nKrosoczka\, a former Montserrat faculty member\, creates books with humor\, heart\, and a deep respect for his young readers—qualities that have made his titles perennial favorites on the bookshelves of homes\, libraries\, and bookstores. \n“We are delighted that former faculty member\, Jarrett J. Korosczka will return to campus to talk about his work\, inspirations and publishing career. His list of accolades and awards for his books and projects continues to grow and we are excited that we will be able to share his story with us and the greater Beverly community\,” said Montserrat President Kurt T. Steinberg\, Ed.D.. “Each year\, we are so happy to host the free public lecture and a chance for the community to meet an important artist the night prior to commencement as our gift to the community.” \nFirst published at the age of 23\, Krosoczka has more than 30 published books to his credit. Titles include several picture books\, his wildly popular Lunch Lady graphic novels\, and the Platypus Police Squad middle-grade novels. He also recently launched a new story arc in the Jedi Academy series with Star Wars™: Jedi Academy: A New Class. \nKrosoczka is a two-time winner of the Children’s Choice Book Awards Third to Fourth Grade Book of the Year and has been a finalist for the prestigious Will Eisner Comic Industry Award. He has delivered two TED Talks\, which have collectively accrued more than two million views online. Krosoczka has been featured on NPR and can be heard weekly on The Book Report with JJK on SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live\, a show focusing on books\, authors\, and reading. His Punk Farm\, Lunch Lady\, and Platypus Police Squad series are all currently in development for film. \nRealizing that his stories can inspire young readers beyond the page\, Krosoczka founded School Lunch Hero Day\, a national campaign that celebrates school lunch staff\, and Platypus Police Reading Squad\, a program in which police officers read aloud to children in schools and libraries. A consummate advocate for arts education\, Krosoczka also established the Joseph and Shirley Krosoczka Memorial Youth Scholarships\, which fund art classes for underprivileged children\, in his hometown of Worcester\, Massachusetts. \nKrosoczka lives in western Massachusetts with his wife and children\, and their pugs\, Ralph and Frank.

SUMMARY:STEPHEN ST. FRANCIS DECKY
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \nVIVARIUM (SDE) (2019)\, 3-channel animated video w/sound\, 10m00s \nVIVARIUM (SDE) depicts the interior of an immense outer-space terrarium designed to transport entire ecosystems from one galaxy to another. In the video\, a giant blue alien peers lovingly through a portal into this environment\, admiring the diversity of life-forms thriving within. While many of the creatures appear to be decidedly earthling in form\, a range of extraterrestrial anthropomorphs can also be seen. Through the use of slow zooms and musical interstices that focus on individuals and small groups\, the details of life inside the Vivarium – at times gauzy and euphoric\, at other times hinting at some lost but very tangible world – begin to clarify. \nStephen St. Francis Decky is a multi-media artist and writer whose work has appeared in festivals\, collections\, and museums both nationally and internationally\, including The New Britain Museum of American Art and The Museum of Fine Arts\, Nagoya\, Japan. He has taught Animation and Digital Media classes at several schools\, including Tufts University and Moore College of Art and Design. As a technical consultant and collaborator\, he has worked on multi-channel video installations in Boston\, New York City and Montana. Stephen received his MFA from Tufts University and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and currently lives and works in Philadelphia and Williamsport\, Pa. \nVisiting Artist talk:\nTuesday\, April 9\n11:30am–12:20pm\nH-201\, Hardie Building \n\n \n \n

SUMMARY:Automatic: An Exploration of Art and Authorship in an Age of Automation
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nT–F\, 11:30am–2:30pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: February 7th\, 5–7pm \nAUTOMATIC is an exploration of the evolving role of technology as tool\, medium\, and active collaborator in artistic practice. Designed and developed by Sarah Trahan and Andrew Sliwinski\, this collection of work centers around a series of drawings produced by the Automatic Drawing Machine (ADM). \nInspired by Surrealist Automatism in which the artist suppresses conscious control over the making process – allowing the unconscious mind to guide mark making – the ADM transforms electrical activity in an artist’s brain into marks on paper. These drawings are produced while artists engage in a range of practices including painting\, drawing\, writing\, woodworking\, and computer programming – forming a type of call and response between the artist and the technology. \nThe system utilizes a non-invasive brain sensing technology called Electroencephalography (EEG) as well as custom software to transform raw brain activity into a graphic representation. This representation is then transferred onto paper using a modified computer-controlled plotter that uses a pen to produce the drawings shown in the gallery. \nAbout the artists: \nSarah Trahan \nSarah Trahan is an artist and educator who is preoccupied with exploring the visual and physical structures inherent to textile construction and what happens when generative digital processes and handmade materiality intersect.  \nSarah holds an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and spent many years as a faculty member at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit\, MI. Sarah and Andrew both served as founders and managing members of OmniCorpDetroit; a collectively run hackerspace that is still operational in the city’s Eastern Market neighborhood. \nSarah is currently based in Cambridge\, MA and serves as Assistant Professor and Digital Fabrication Studio Director at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly\, MA.  \nAndrew Sliwinski \nAndrew Sliwinski is a research scientist with the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. His research focuses on the intersection between learning\, creativity\, and technology. \nAndrew serves as co-director of Scratch—an online community and tool for kids to explore their creativity through computing which reaches over two hundred million children every year. Prior to joining MIT\, Andrew co-founded the learning community DIY.org and led learning research at the Mozilla Foundation. \nAs a designer and engineer\, Andrew has worked with various organizations during his career including Google\, LEGO\, General Electric\, Hewlett-Packard\, Toyota\, The Aspen Institute\, and Code for America. His work as a creative technologist has been displayed in The Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago\, The Museum of Modern Art in New York\, and Carnegie Hall. His work has been profiled by Wired\, The New York Times\, and Fast Company. \n

SUMMARY:FATTY SPICE: TUNNEL OF SELF LOVE
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \nA site-specific installation by Fatty Spice ’14! \nTUNNEL OF SELF-LOVE is the offspring of the line in the Bible “your body is a temple” and John Mayer’s line “your body is a wonderland”. It is a heavy nod to the theme park river rides that traveled through a tunnel for an excuse for couples to express affection during the time when PDA was not permitted. We all know the trend of bullying ourselves\, the “sad boi” vibe\, meme’s about sadness and counteracting that with self-love but the counteraction is mostly in private. It’s almost a cheesy thing to love yourself and not the good cheesy like the one in the blue box. Practicing self-love shouldn’t be a secret thing and ironically is the very first step to sharing love with others. Ru Paul’s encouraging words “If you don’t love yourself\, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?” couldn’t be more true. Be your own Valentine. Send yourself a “be mine” this year. \nfattyspice.com

SUMMARY:JESS DUGAN: EVERY BREATH WE DREW
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nJanuary 31st 11:20am-12:20pm \nDiscussion led by Diane Ayott\nMontserrat Gallery 6:00-7:00pm \nJess Dugan Artist Talk\nLarcom Theatre 7:00–9:00pm \nArtist’s Reception\nMontserrat Gallery\nJess Dugan presents\, Every Breath We Drew\, which explores the power of identity\, desire\, and connection through portraits of myself and others. Working within the framework of queer experience and from my actively constructed sense of masculinity\, my portraits examine the intersection between private\, individual identity and the search for intimate connection with others. I photograph people in their homes and personal spaces\, using medium and large format cameras to create a deep\, sustained engagement\, resulting in an intimate and detailed portrait. \nI combine portraits of individuals\, couples\, and self-portraits to investigate broader themes of identity and connection while also speaking to my personal experience. The photographs of men and masculine individuals act as a kind of mirror; they depict the type of gentle masculinity I am attracted to\, and also the kind I want to embody. Similarly\, the photographs of relationships speak to a drive to be seen\, understood\, and desired through the eyes of another person; a reflection of the self as the ultimate intimate connection. \nRather than attempting to describe a specific identity or group- the gender identity and sexual orientation of the individuals varies greatly- Every Breath We Drew asks larger questions about how identity is formed\, desire is expressed\, and intimate connection is sought. \nFeatures: \nRainbow Times – Jess Dugan’s “Every Breath We Drew” Spotlighted At Montserrat Gallery \nCreative Collective MA – Jess T. Dugan’s “Every Breath We Drew” at Montserrat Gallery \nGreg Cook\, Wonderland – Photographer Jess T.

SUMMARY:Sebastião Salgado
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nOpen to Montserrat community or by appointment. \nReception: N/A \nA special exhibition featuring a selection of prints from Sebastião Salgado’s Exodus series.\nEdition on loan from Brian Pellinen\, Dean of Academic Affairs.\n\n\n  \n“It has been almost a generation since Sebastião Salgado first published Exodus but the story it tells\, of fraught human movement around the globe\, has changed little in 16 years. The push and pull factors may shift\, the nexus of conflict relocates from Rwanda to Syria\, but the people who leave their homes tell the same tale: deprivation\, hardship\, and glimmers of hope\, plotted along a journey of great psychological\, as well as physical\, toil. \nSalgado spent six years with migrant peoples\, visiting more than 35 countries to document displacement on the road\, in camps\, and in overcrowded city slums where new arrivals often end up. His project includes Latin Americans entering the United States\, Jews leaving the former Soviet Union\, Kosovars fleeing into Albania\, the Hutu refugees of Rwanda\, as well as the first “boat people” of Arabs and sub-Saharan Africans trying to reach Europe across the Mediterranean ea. His images feature those who know where they are going and those who are simply in flight\, relieved to be alive and uninjured enough to run. The faces he meets present dignity and compassion in the most bitter of circumstances\, but also the many ravaged marks of violence\, hatred\, and greed. \nWith his particular eye for detail and motion\, Salgado captures the heart-stopping moments of migratory movement\, as much as the mass flux. There are laden trucks\, crowded boats\, and camps stretched out to a clouded horizon\, and then there is the small\, bandaged leg; the fingerprint on a page; the interview with a border guard; the bundle and baby clutched to a mother’s breast. Insisting on the scale of the migrant phenomenon\, Salgado also asserts\, with characteristic humanism\, the personal story within the overwhelming numbers. Against the indistinct faces of televised footage or the crowds caught beneath a newspaper headline\, what we find here are portraits of individual identities\, even in the abyss of a lost land\, home\, and\, often\, loved ones. \nAt the same time\, Salgado also declares the commonality of the migrant situation as a shared\, global experience. He summons his viewers not simply as spectators of the refugee and exile suffering\, but as actors in the social\, political\, economic\, and environmental shifts which contribute to the migratory phenomenon. As the boats bobbing up on the Greek and Italian coastline bring migration home to Europe like no mass movement since the Second World War\, Exodus cries out not only for our heightened awareness but also for responsibility and engagement. In face of the scarred bodies\, the hundreds of bare feet on hot tarmac\, our imperative is not to look on in compassion\, but\, in Salgado’s own words\, to temper our behaviors in a “new regimen of coexistence.” \n\n\n\n\n\nSebastião Salgado began his career as a professional photographer in Paris in 1973 and subsequently worked with the photo agencies Sygma\, Gamma\, and Magnum Photos. In 1994 he and his wife Lélia created Amazonas Images\, which exclusively handles his work. Salgado’s photographic projects have been featured in many exhibitions as well as books\, including Other Americas (1986)\, Sahel\, L’Homme en détresse (1986)\, Workers (1993)\, Terra (1997)\, Migrations (2000)\, The Children (2000)\, Africa(2007)\, and Genesis (2013).” \nDescription via Taschen \n\n\n\n

Living and painting in both Oslo\, Norway and Key West\, Florida during the first part of the twenty-first century\, the self-taught Haverhill\, MA native has continued to capture the historic architecture\, lanes\, and waterways of Cape Ann since arriving back in Massachusetts in the spring of 2016… always working on-site\, never from photographs. A long-time plein air painter\, LaPierre\, now 55\nyears old\, began expanding his studio work in early 2016\, with his current Clowns with Cell Phones pieces. \nFrom 2010 through early 2016 he painted the historic architecture and current-day culture of Key West\, and was honored in 2013 with a one-man show\, My Key West Plein Air Novel\, held in the Main Gallery of the Key West Art and Historical Society’s Custom House Museum\, featuring more than sixty of the artist’s Key West pieces. A two-time recipient of Key West’s coveted Anne McKee Artists Award\, LaPierre’s second one-man show in this southernmost city\, Habana and Key West\, was held in 2014 in the Tropic Cinema’s Gallery\, featuring a selection of the artist’s earlier Cuban pieces and later Key West works. In 2018\, LaPierre was honored with a one-man show at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center\, featuring many of the artist’s recent Rocky Neck plein air works. \nLaPierre’s Rocky Neck studio-gallery-home is located at 75 Rocky Neck Avenue\, next door to The Rudder.

SUMMARY:MARISA GILBERT: IT FEELS LIKE A SUNDAY
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \nIt feels like a Sunday is a site-specific installation that explores the spaces we consider to be ‘private’ and those that are ‘public.’ The routines of daily life often generate ideas for new work; whether it’s going grocery shopping\, participating in normal conversation\, or cleaning my apartment. In this work\, individual pieces are reminisce of to-do lists\, grocery bags\, and other recognizable imagery that start to take the form of large blankets\, tapestries\, and other fibrous objects found in the home. I continue to explore processes found in fiber arts as it is highly personal and a way for me to connect to my own familial lineage and history through material. Through the use of these objects\, displayed in this window-front space\, private and public come together to become a day of window shopping or a peek into someone’s home. \nhttps://www.marisagilbertart.com/

DESCRIPTION:The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck\n6 Wonson Street\nGloucester\, MA 01930 \nGallery Hours\nTh–Sun\, 12-4pm \nReception: October 20th\, 4–6pm \nAn exhibition in collaboration with the Montserrat College of Art and the Rocky Neck Artist Colony\, LANDFALL is a contemporary survey of affect and effect relating to the contentious environments we occupy. The artists\, comprised of Montserrat faculty and staff\, span a wide range of media\, backgrounds\, and interests. \nMary Bucci McCoy has developed a materially resonant non-objective language of painting\, influenced by her training in ceramic sculpture\, to situate her painting practice in the interconnectedness of humanity and the earth. She has exhibited at venues including Gray Contemporary\, Houston\, TX\, which represents her; boeckercontemporary\, Heidelberg\, Germany; The Curator Gallery\, Chelsea\, NY; CG2 Gallery\, Nashville\, TN; Kingston Gallery\, Boston\, MA; the Artists Foundation\, Boston\, MA; and Salem State University\, Salem\, MA. \nAllison Cekala’s work is largely rooted in landscape and investigates the ways in which humans move\, shape\, and transform their surroundings\, integrating her interests ecology\, geology\, and deep time. Her work has been supported by the MacDowell Colony\, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation\, the Cary Center for Ecosystem Studies\, and the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology. \nFrancois DeCosterd is an international artist who creates videos\, photo series\, installations\, and performances. Moving across multiple disciplines to produce large scale pieces such as multi-channel video installations\, he uses various digital tools to build experiential works. He has shown works at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, the Geneva International Film Festival\, CyFest in St Petersburg\, among others. \nMea Duke is a multimedia artist whose work implicates our political and economic relationships with the global shipping industry and environmental impact of maritime operations. She grounds her interdisciplinary practice within the negotiation and navigation of unregulated spaces and the inherent need to harness natural powers. \nKatherine Mitchell DiRico investigates relationships of power\, authority\, and networks. She has mounted solo exhibitions at 57delle in Boston\, MA; and the Porcelynne Gallery\, San Francisco\, CA. Her work has been featured at international venues including the Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and Stockwell Studios\, London\, England. National exhibitions include the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Grossman Gallery at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, and the Massachusetts Campus Compact Conference on Civic Engagement. \nHugo Pellinen’s creative projects take images and ideas out of traditional contexts and ask audiences to make new meanings. His recent explorations include: The Type Liberation Project (letterpress projects from reclaimed type)\, The Essex Natural History and Typing Club (projects involving text and natural material)\, La Mora (stories from the heteroglossia of New Mexico). Hugo facilitates a workspace that creates opportunities for artists involved with The Velvet Pelican Projects\, The Two Hugos Writers’ Group\, and Olfactory Press to share\, rhizomatically\, inspirations and ideas.

SUMMARY:Reticulate (Divergent)
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm \nOpen to students\, faculty\, and staff; public by appointment \nReception: October 18th\, 11:00am–12:30pm \nA Bare Gallery exhibition\, Reticulate (Divergent)\, artists Dennis Collins ’19 and Cameron Hurley ’19 come together for an exhibition of work that explores composition across the mediums of collage and photography. \nDennis’s collages are generated purely from a progression of responses to color\, shape and material while Cameron’s black and white\, aerial photographs come from an observed perspective incorporating a strong sense of detail and texture. Although there is a disconnect in process and medium\, the work displays a shared awareness of compositional elements: large divisions in the picture plane\, line\, and a marriage of material/textural differences. \nThe exhibition is curated by Dennis Collins ’19 and Cameron Hurley ’19 in collaboration with Keely Quirk ’18 and Darcie Blake ’22. \nCam Hurley

Her practice synthesizes research\, writing\, and physical actions mediated through print\, video\, and performance that examine our relationship to/with mechanization\, technology\, and culture.  Her current work shows an acute interest in historic and contemporary communication technology/media as a means to explore/exploit the intangible\, tenuous nature of language. \nBuechler is a doctoral student in Information Studies at the University of California – Los Angeles. She holds an M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Book and Paper Arts from Columbia College Chicago\, and a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is the 2016-2018 Victor Hammer Fellow at the Wells College Book Arts Center (Aurora\, NY) and former Print Production Fellow to the Journal of Artists’ Books (JAB). Her work can be found in numerous collections in the US and internationally\, including the Yale University Library\, Centre Pompidou of Paris\, France\, and the University of Regina Library in Regina\, SK\, Canada. \nAaron Cohick runs The NewLights Press\, an independent printer and publisher working at the intersection of experimental writing and artists’ books. Founded in 2000 in Baltimore\, The NewLights Press is publishing-as-artistic practice\, and is the imprint under which Cohick publishes his own work and that of other artists and writers. All of the books are printed & bound “by hand\,” using a variety of techniques\, ranging from the obsolete (letterpress) to the utilitarian (laser/Risograph) to the meditative (delamination). Cohick received his BFA in Painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and his MFA in Printmaking from Arizona State University.. He is also the Printer of The Press at Colorado College\, a letterpress studio and classroom that seeks to create an interdisciplinary space in the liberal arts curriculum. Cohicks work\, under both imprints\, is held in public and private collections all over the world\, including the Library of Congress\, the British Library\, the National Library of Australia\, Yale University\, the Letterform Archive\, the Newberry Library\, and the Tate Britain Library. \nEvents:\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, October 11\, 5-8pm \nArtist Round Table: Wednesday\, October 10\, 6-7:30pm \nPaul M. Scott Library\, moderated by Montserrat Assistant Professor Bill Hanscom. \nAaron Cohick\, & NOW & NOW\, Flexible collagraph

SUMMARY:TRACE MATTER
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 10am–5pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: October 11th\, 5–8pm \nMontserrat College of Art Galleries invites you to view the upcoming group exhibition\, Trace Matter\, which includes work by six artists from New England\, New York\, and Minnesota that captures ambiguous historical moments by exploring what’s left behind. Artists Jimena Bermejo\, Kristina Estell\, Meredith Morten\, Scott Nedrelow\, Alisha Wessler\, and Jenna Pirello explore various relics and remains through photography\, sculpture\, drawing\, painting\, and performance. \nJimena Bermejo (MA) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performance artist\, and dance educator with more than 15 years of experience creating performances that explore identity\, race\, and power. At Montserrat\, the remnants and audio of a hidden performance will invite viewers to envision potential narratives. \nKristina Estell (MN) uses a variety of processes and materials to create sculptures that generate sensitive and dynamic material experiences. For this exhibition\, a series of silicone rubber molds captures specific objects that are layered in space. \nMeredith Morten (MA)\,  created a series of embroidered doilies as an outcome of a 2016 Fulbright to Austria and Hungary. Fascinated by the burial rites of the Urnfield Culture (1300 BCE – 750 BCE)\, she superimposed images of broken ceramic urns with cremated remains (bone fragments) onto handmade 20th century Viennese doilies. The crisp white doilies\, found in Vienna’s flea markets\, are oval and circular in shape bordered by lace\, reminiscent of Baroque portraiture. \nScott Nedrelow’s (NY) paintings involve a post-photographic process that uses the materials of inkjet printing. Employing an airbrush to manually spray Epson ink onto photo paper\, Nedrelow’s work alludes to shadows and the idea of an afterimage. \nAlisha Wessler’s (NY) work explores hybrid objects\, their narrative potential and taxonomic slippage. The drawings and objects she makes occupy the indeterminate realm between reality and dream\, nature and artifice. \nJenna Pirello (ME) is a process painter\, instinctually responding to an unwritten dialogue between herself and her paintings. Her work explores the transition from painting to sculpture and how combined\, they can interact with a space and the viewer. \nFeatures: \nArtscope Magazine – Trace Matter: Making Connections at Montserrat \nBoston Globe: Cate McQuaid – Trace Matter at Montserrat \n  \nEvents:\nSpecial Performance – Jimena Bermejo: Thursday\, September 27\, 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. \n \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, October 11 from 5-8 p.m. \nGallery Talk – Alisha Wessler: Monday\, October 1\, 11:30 a.m.–12:20 p.m. \nGallery Talk – Scott Nedrelow: Thursday\, October 11\, 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. \n

SUMMARY:TIFFANY SMITH: THANK YOU FOR THE SOUVENIR
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nT-F\, 11:30am–2:30pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 20th\, 5-8pm \nTiffany Smith is an interdisciplinary artist from the Caribbean diaspora working in photography\, video\, installation\, and design. Using plant matter\, design and home decor elements\, pattern\, and costuming as cultural signifiers\, Smith creates photographic portraits\, site responsive installations\, user engaged experiences\, and assemblages focused on identity\, representation\, cultural ambiguity\, and displacement. Visual references from an array of multi-cultural influences\, derived from her upbringing between Miami\, Florida\, Nassau\, Bahamas\, and Jamaica inform constructed environments that serve to articulate cultural subjectivities that oscillate between visitor and native roles. Smith’s practice centers on what forms and defines communities of people color\, in particular; how they are identified and represented\, and how they endure. \nSmith’s current works in progress react to a history of representation of people of color by focusing on how identity is constructed and culture is commodified. For Tropical Girls… presents photographic self portraits that question identity constructs and the psychological implications of iconography. Smith’s staged ethnographic survey of invented personas who author their own representations of a blended cultural heritage use her own experiences and recalled memories to create performative studies that empower reclamation of representation and reclaim agency in “performing the other.”  \nPhotographs and videos from the series are presented within contextualizing multi-media installations\, creating site specific environments that reference domestic space through cultural signifiers and decor elements recalled from Smith’s own memories of a fluid definition of home\, and aim to construct constants within a shifting space that balances precariously between cultures. Using evocative references to plant life\, natural phenomena\, and tropical locales\, these temporary habitats provide familiar points of entry and access to the complex narratives of the subjects depicted. \nSmith received a BFA in Photography from S.C.A.D. and an MFA in Photo/Video from SVA\, NY. Her work has been included in recent exhibitions at MassArt\, Boston\, MA\, St. John’s University\, Queens\, NY\, The Bronx Museum of the Arts\, The National Gallery of Jamaica and exhibited at Photoville\, NY\, Photo NOLA\, New Orleans\, and Spring Break Art Show\, NY. She has presented public art installations in Newark Penn Station through The Gateway Project and Marcus Garvey Park during Flux Art Fair\, Harlem and recent solo exhibitions at Space Create\, Newburgh\, NY and The Wassaic Project\, and a forthcoming solo exhibition at Montserrat College of Art\, Boston\, MA. Tiffany Smith is currently based in Brooklyn\, NY. \nItems available for purchase at Tiffany’s web store \n  \nSelf portrait as a sunburned tourist\, 2016

SUMMARY:GARY BATZLOFF: Horizon(s)
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \nI am thinking of sunsets\, quietude\, and that moment when you remember home. I am remembering: holding my breath and diving deep\, feeling the undulations in the sand; waking at sunrise\, watching orange turn to blue; sitting in a tree far from anything\, waiting for foxes and the wind. I am working toward being still\, but not alone. -Gary Batzloff \nGary Batzloff is an Oklahoma-based artist whose work has delved deeply into the relationship between his practice and the history of Landscape in America. Gary’s work engages and contemporizes Landscape as a medium through the use of GPS and locating technologies and the intersection of the physical form or place and the digital world. He uses the processes and visual language of 3D modeling and fabrication to achieve a current interpretation of landscape in the modern era. This body of work and research utilizes materials that are relevant to the landscape being identified including regionally indigenous woods\, metals\, and finishes that respond to the industrialization of the United States\, and bright colors that are reminiscent of sunsets and sunrises overseeing the growth and entropy of each unique place. \nAbsolute Return (detail)
