SUMMARY:MOSH Studio: There is No Away
DESCRIPTION:MOSH Studio is a collaboration between artists Suzanne Moseley and Adrienne Shishko\, each bringing a very different art background to their joint projects. Together they create 3D sculptures using repurposed materials from individual\, corporate\, or collective waste streams\, often fiber-based\, to create metaphorical portraits of people\, places\, or communities. Their goal is to produce vibrant\, energetic works that captivate audiences with color and texture\, encouraging a discovery of both the materials and their transformation into something new. \nAdrienne Shishko is a process-driven\, mixed media artist based in Boston. She is known for her innovative ways of engaging communities in art beyond traditional gallery spaces through pop ups\, digital murals\, and building wraps. In 2017\, she was commissioned by JBG Smith to enliven a business district in Crystal City\, MD which helped encourage new development in the area. Her work has also been exhibited throughout New England at venues including Beacon Gallery\, The Quin House\, The Providence Art Club\, Mosesian Center for the Arts\, Cambridge Art Association among others\, and is included in numerous private and corporate collections around the country. \nSuzanne Moseley’s creative career has spanned advertising\, fashion\, craft\, graphics\, web and restaurant design. This background has led Mosely to explore bold\, graphic imagery with a penchant for textile patterns and richly layered compositions. Moseley has exhibited her work in juried group shows around New England including the Cultural Center of Cape Cod\, Rhode Island Water Color Society\, Castle Hill @ Truro Center for the Arts\, Gallery Twist and Art Fluent’s online gallery. She studied printmaking at the Decordova Museum School\, Maud Morgan\, MFA\, Castle Hill\, Zea Mayes\, and Shepherd Maudsleigh. Moseley is also a member of Boston Printmakers\, USEA and Concord Art.

SUMMARY:The Improbable Places Poetry Tour lands at Beverly Airport
DESCRIPTION:Wheels Up! The Improbable Places Poetry Tour lands at Beverly Airport this October! \nThe Improbable Places Poetry Tour\, hosted by Colleen Michaels of Montserrat College of Art\, is seeking poems about flight and travel for a most unique reading opportunity.  On October 22\, 2024\, The Beverly Regional Airport will host a night of poetry. Boarding begins at 6:30 in the main terminal. The reading begins at 7:00 in an airport hangar that is the site of an intervention by artist Liz Nofziger.  The event is free and open to the public. \nDo you have a travel or airport poem? A poem about flight or wingspan? We want your turbulent tercets from the middle seat and your sonnets skywritten in vapor. We want your red-eyes and your puddle jumpers. Please\, someone send a poem as a safety card or a passport. Send the poem that hits like oxygen dropped from the overhead compartment. \nSubmissions can be sent to colleen.michaels@montserrat.edu no later than Friday\, October 17\, 2024.  \nIf chosen\, you must be available to read your work in person at The Beverly Regional Airport on Tuesday\, October 22\, 2024. \nThe Improbable Places Poetry Tour is Montserrat College of Art’s way of bringing together poets and enthusiastic listeners to celebrate the power of poetry and community. At each tour stop a new venue and theme is selected. Started in 2010 by Colleen Michaels\, the Improbable Places Poetry Tour has traveled from bike shops to power plants\, and from tattoo parlors to Viking ships\, with a line-up of poets each reading one poem. \nThe 2024 Improbable Places Poetry Tour is funded by Montserrat College of Art\, Beverly Cultural Council\, and Mass Cultural Council.  \nSee highlights from last year in a short video by Elliot Mason ’25 \nhttps://www.montserrat.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Improbable-Places-Poetry-Tour-Spring-2024.mp4

SUMMARY:Throughline: The Fiber Art of Mary Balzer Buskirk
DESCRIPTION:Mary Balzer Buskirk (1931-2009) combined a commitment to weaving as an art form with an intense investigation of techniques specific to the medium. Early patterns for rugs set the stage for wall hangings that demonstrate varying degrees of transparency\, along with tubular works that establish a sculptural presence. Buskirk began her engagement with textiles as a graduate student at Cranbrook in the mid-1950s. Following a move to California in 1960\, Buskirk’s initial attraction to the inherent abstraction of the grid of vertical and horizontal fiber opened onto more sinuous compositions inspired by natural forms. Textiles in the exhibition also showcase Buskirk’s interest in off-loom techniques\, along with her willingness\, as her career progressed\, to harken back to prior training in painting by mounting woven compositions on stretcher bars. \nUntitled (long hanging with circles)\, 1959\, 82” x 18”\, woolCourtesy of Martha Buskirk\nGallery talk with Prof. Martha Buskirk\, Ph.D. daughter of the artist\, Nov. 6 at 5pm followed by a reception at 6pm.

SUMMARY:I’ll Be Your Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Presented in two parts\, this exhibition features recent works by five Montserrat alumni. Ranging from objective pieces to abstracted representations\, these works are reflections of the self and the world around us. \nI’ll Be Your Mirror offers a unique lens in portraying individual experiences and in challenging assumptions that prevent us from seeking truth. As you engage with the work\, you are encouraged to confront your own perspectives and embrace the narratives presented before you. \nThings look different based on where you’re looking from\, take a mirror to further explore the world we share. \nArtist Conversation\nwith Montserrat Alumni Annie Lee-Daly\, Shannon Herrick\, Cayla Montes\, Denali Musgrave\, and Zeynep Celik\nFriday\, December 6\, 11–12pm\, Hardie Room 101 \nPart I\nAnnie Lee-Daly\nShannon Herrick \nPart II\nCayla Montes\nDenali Musgrave\nZeynep Çelik

SUMMARY:Rosie Ranauro: OBSCURE//REPEAT
DESCRIPTION:Boston-based artist Rosie Ranauro’s work is a visual exploration of process\, defined not by fixed outcomes\, but by the dynamic interplay between creation and concealment. What remains hidden becomes a space for speculation\, imagination\, and personal interpretation. \nOBSCURE//REPEAT is a series of unstretched canvases painted on both sides\, with one side obscured from the viewer. Through its three-dimensional presence\, the canvases become evocative of the physical body\, one which moves between states of transition and rest. By concealing parts of the canvas\, Ranauro also withholds portions of the narrative from the viewer\, asking the question\, ‘what does it mean to be understood?’ \nRosie Ranauro lives and works in Boston\, MA\, and holds a BFA in Painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design ’11. She has shown locally and internationally and is currently an artist in residence at the Boston Center for the Arts. \n

SUMMARY:Cold\, Tenderly: Shoe Bones Presents Three Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:Cold\, Tenderly is a series of three exhibitions curated by Frankie Symonds\, artist and Founder/Director of Shoe Bones Gallery in Salem\, MA.  Through a range of artistic approaches and media\, including photography\, painting\, video\, and drawing\, each exhibition probes different psychological states of being—from love and vulnerability to guarded indifference and absurdity. Cold\, Tenderly seeks to ultimately explore the intimate as well as distant spaces created between ourselves and others. \nPansies and Sissies: Jamieson Edson and Campbell McLean\n\nJuly 17 – August 10\nExhibition Reception: Thursday\, July 25. 6–8PM\nPlease note that the Schlosberg Gallery will be closed on Saturday\, August 3 for a private event.\n \nPansies And Sissies\, a two-person exhibition featuring Boston-based artists\, Jamieson Edson and Campbell McLean\, is a tender and at times flirtatious exercise in queer friendship\, love\, and creative inspiration. Edson and McLean are close friends and frequently depict the people who frequent their lives as their primary subjects. They also regularly appear in each other’s work\, and their overlapping social lives mean that many of the same faces\, mediated through lenses\, brushes\, and other processes\, are mirrored in each of their works. Using oil paint\, various printing processes\, and a Polaroid camera respectively\, McLean and Edson create intimate\, affectionate moments that are dramatic\, even cinematic. By filtering the modesty of daily life through their creative methods\, Edson and McLean highlight the passion\, beauty\, and heightened sense of reality found in closeness\, care\, and interdependence.\n \nJamieson Edson is a visual artist based in Boston. They received their BFA from the Studio for Interrelated Media at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2015. Working predominantly with Polaroid\, Jamieson crafts evocative portraits of dear friends\, lovers and captivating acquaintances. \nJamieson EdsonCampbell and Virgil at the CCVA\, 2024Polaroid 600 print4.25 x 3.25 in.Courtesy of the artist.\nCampbell McLean was born\, raised\, and educated in Boston\, graduating from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2022. Since graduating\, Campbell has delved in Boston’s queer nightlife\, both as attendee and employee. From domestic bliss to sweaty leather-bars\, her paintings document and canonize the local queer experience through dynamic and environmental portraits. \nCampbell McLeanSunrise over Tuesday\, 2023Oil on canvas24 x 26 in.Courtesy of the artist.\nRyan Hawk: Sweet Surrender\n\nAugust 19 – September 7 \nGallery talk with curator Frankie Symonds\, Shoe Bones Gallery\, Salem: Wednesday\, September 4\, 3 pm\, Schlosberg Gallery \nSweet Surrender is an ongoing installation featuring moving images and sculpture that interrogates representations of masculinity\, often through narratives of tragedy and humor. Hawk incorporates prosthetic objects\, using it both metaphorically and literally to explore corporeal experience while also bringing to light the inherent awkwardness associated with penetrating social boundaries. The installation centers on a video of a lone man on stage that transforms into a karaoke set to the pop-rock song “Sweet Surrender” by Sarah McLachlan\, which subsequently turns awkward. Despite the proverbial support of a third leg\, the man struggles to perform.  Sweet Surrender is a continuation of Hawk’s artistic research into alternative forms of masculine embodiment within the dominant social and cultural imagination. \nRyan Hawk is a visual artist and scholar using film\, sculpture\, and critical theory to engage and often exploit the Western imaginary. Hawk holds a BFA in studio art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and an MFA in studio art from the University of Texas at Austin. \nRyan HawkSweet Surrender\, 2018Video StillCourtesy of the artist.\nCreighton Baxter: hiss the name\n\nSeptember 16 – October 12\n \nA durational performance for hiss the name: Tuesday\, September 17\, 11-4 pm\, Schlosberg Gallery\nArtist Reception: Tuesday\, September 17\, 5:30-7:30 pm\nAs an iterative installation resulting from drawing\, assemblage\, and performance – hiss the name – is the true story of a fictionalized character seeking retribution and salvation in a world of vampiric avatars\, vengeful sirens\, and trans women running backward through time. Hinging a trilogy of durational performances with hundreds of drawings is the emergence of a phantasmatic villainess who haunts the series. Her presence is a proposal\, an alternative to neoliberal representations of trans womanhood which sanitize or hystericize. The Montserrat Galleries will present the final iteration of hiss the name\, including the last performance in the trilogy. In these narrative cinders of a fictional testimony\, reflections on surveillance\, and the sensorium emerge. \nThe interstices between Creighton Baxter’s modes of making embrace the challenges of remembrance\, recording\, and witnessing. By upending a singular aesthetic vantage\, she lays bare a fractured world. This shattered and (in)coherent frequency turns her artworks into glimpses of a larger absent whole. A totality which never arrives\, instead proof of life raises her hand. Baxter received her BFA at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and her MFA in Painting/Printmaking at Yale University. \nCreighton BaxterHiss the name (installation detail)\, 2024Mixed media on paperDimensions variableCourtesy of the artist.\nShoe Bones is an artist-run gallery in Salem\, MA that specializes in exhibiting queer\, self-taught\, and marginalized artists’ work. For more information\, visit https://shoebonesboston.info  or @shoe.bones. \nFrankie Symonds is an artist and independent curator who’s lived in or around Boston her whole life.

SUMMARY:Plush
DESCRIPTION:Reception and Curator Walkthrough: Wednesday\, September 11\, 5-6:30\nTufting Demonstration and Workshop with Textile Artist\, Haley Wood: Friday\, September 13\, 3-5 pm. H101\nOpen to the public. \nPlush is a group exhibition that explores references to and uses of stuffed toys in a range of artistic practices that extend beyond contexts of childhood. Through a variety of media\, including sculpture\, assemblage\, mixed media\, and photography\, the participating artists transform reclaimed and fabricated objects to convey a range of human emotions. Turning away from the idea of the stuffed toy as merely a ‘toy’\, these plush objects become charged metaphors exploring love and attachment\, becoming surrogates\, comfort items\, and tangible manifestations of joy or sorrow. The exhibition aims to consider how we form attachments to these objects and what their softness evokes within us. \nCurated by Crow Stevenson\, Montserrat Galleries Curatorial Assistant\, with Lynne Cooney\, Director of Exhibitions and Galleries\, the included artists expand common conceptions and representations of stuffed objects.   \nJeffrey NowlinMonster (detail)\, 2019Fabric\, yarn\, thread\, polyfill\, stuffed animals\, vacuum hose114 in. 36 in. x 18 in.\nBrittany GorelickLeft Behind I\, 2024Monoprint21 in. x 30 in.\nJulie PeppitoAll-In-One\, 2023Reclaimed objects\, paper mâché\, fabric\, thread\, beads\, clay\, resin\, gouache\, wood\, fabric paint19 in x 7 in x 10 in\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAndrew Cain\, who lives in Upstate New York\, explores in his mixed media work ideas of ephemerality\, memory\, and nostalgia. I Love Your Guts is an interactive installation featuring life-size plush objects that are meant to be caressed\, squeezed\, and nuzzled. Conceived during the COVID-19 Pandemic\, I Love Your Guts served as a proxy for physical contact when social distancing was the norm. Cain’s iteration for Montserrat Galleries reminds us of the importance of touch as integral to human connection and togetherness. \nBrittany Gorelick is an artist and printmaker currently based in Kansas. Through traditional printmaking\, alternative papermaking and photographic processes\, Gorelick uses abstraction to explore the unseen symptoms of mental health. In two unique prints included in Plush\, Gorelick used an unstuffed teddy bear as a printmaking substrate. Run through the press\, the teddy bear form appears like a medical x-ray\, evoking a human dimension. \nAodhan Gyory\, currently based in Upstate New York\, works across multiple formats including soft sculpture\, textiles\, and illustration. Gyory’s soft sculpture included in the exhibition is a plush car seat that is part figure and wearable object. Made after experiencing a car accident. Gyory’s car seat recalls the harrowing moment in which Gyory was suspended from a sideways turned car only by a seatbelt. \nStephanie Metz is a California-based artist who works primarily in wool and industrial felt\, humble materials that embody contradictions in both the physical and conceptual realms. Metz transforms tangible materials into satisfying forms\, which occasionally resonate with kindred spirits. In her Teddy Bear Unnatural History series\, represented by two works in the exhibition\, Metz alludes to the methods and taxonomies of the natural sciences to examine the iconic teddy bear as an allegory for the way humans manipulate the natural world to our own ends. \nRegional artist\, Jeffrey Nowlin\, imagines the complexities of human experience through weaving and embroidery. His large-scale sculpture\, Monster\, is a collection of childhood plush toys\, bound together with coiled weaving. Monster is a metaphor for the psychological responses engendered by childhood memories.  \nJulie Peppito is a New York based artist and activist who interrogates the political and environmental impacts of our consumer-based culture. An activist and artist\, Peppito uses her artmaking to draw connections between our dependence upon cheaply made and disposable goods\, including reclaimed stuffed toys\, and their destructive effects on the planet and on human health. \nMegan Whitmarsh\, who lives in Los Angeles\, works in a variety of low-tech media including drawing\, comics\, stop-action animation\, hand-embroidery and soft sculpture inspired by growing up in the 1970’s and 80’s. Whitmarsh’s soft sculpture re-fabrications of functional objects reflect our collective material history and explore relationships between cultural and personal narratives.  \nHaley Wood is a fiber artist living in Arlington\, Massachusetts. Wood is inspired by medieval marginalia\, folk horror\, antiquities and oddities\, and living creatures that embody personality. From wall-hangings to tufted pillows created as multiples. Wood depicts a range of creatures that draw on children’s stories and folk traditions.
