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

SUMMARY:Stephen LaPierre
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nBy appointment \nReception: May 2nd\, 5–7pm \nStephen LaPierre\, currently the only full-time artist in residence at the historic Rocky Neck Art Colony in Gloucester\, MA\, is also an artist member of the North Shore Art Association and the Rockport Art Association. 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. The 2nd floor gallery is filled with over two hundred original plein air oil pieces from Newburyport to Cape Ann\, Vegas to Monhegan\, and Havana to Oslo. Today\, he continues to expand his studio and plein air work\, while also accepting architectural and portrait commissions. \nPublic artist talk\nMay 2\, 11:30am–12:20pm\n23 Essex Street\nBeverly\, MA\nRoom H-201 \nwww.paintpaintpaint.org

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/

SUMMARY:LANDFALL
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.

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

In conjunction with their exhibition\, Montserrat Assistant Professor\, book artist\, and book conservator Bill Hanscom will participate in a roundtable discussion with Buechler and Cohick that explores alternative publishing methodologies and philosophies\, among other topics relevant to the letterpress\, book arts\, and publishing communities. \nH.R. Buechler is an interdisciplinary artist\, researcher\, and founder of OXBLOOD Publishing. 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.

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)

SUMMARY:HOT SUMMER DAY
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–Th\, 12–5pm\nF\, 10-1pm \nReception: September 6th\, 5–8pm \nA joint exhibition by  \nBrian Butler\nChris E. O’Neill\nSarah Gay-O’Neill \nBrian Butler is drawn to the road. Quite literally as a muralist who paints in the street\, and figuratively as an active traveling illustrator. His inspiration ranges from concerts to roadside curiosities. \nIn this exhibition Brian will be exploring the medium of virtual reality for the first time. Taking ques from off-road sites he’s personally traveled and marrying them a twist of his own imagination. \nChris E. O’Neill is a Somerville\, MA based artist and illustrator. He is a compulsive draw-er\, hardly ever looking up from the page in front of him. He can be found lurking in cafes and bars\, sketchbook open\, furiously jotting down the goings-on around him. He is a keen observer of people and their weirdness. His characters are often nervous or sweaty. He is super-awkward in real life. \nChris will be exploring what happens at the sweaty and psychedelic intersection of joy\, delirium\, haziness\, and exhaustion that comes with triple digit temperatures in summertime. \nSarah Gay-O’Neill\, wanderer\, observer\, communicator. Her work\, both large scale and small\, is often inspired by fragile figures set in natural environments such as mountains and swamps. \nWhen nature isn’t made available to her sauntering soul\, she can be found drawing in cafes and bars\, translating the wild unknowns of city dwelling via textures\, patterns\, lonely spaces\, and people. \nSarah will invite her ethereal figures into the gallery space where they will escape the heat of life. \nThe artists will be on campus July 16–20 installing\, stop by to say hello!! \nSarah Gay-O’Neill will be doing a special workshop on: \nWednesday\, July 25\n4:30–6:00 p.m.

SUMMARY:KRISTINE ROAN
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nReception: N/A \nKristine Roan is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses assemblage sculpture\, collage\, and video. Her process begins with\, and is informed by\, an extensive collection of children’s toys\, decorative objects\, and craft materials. Courting chance\, she seeks out discoveries of objects in isolation from their mass-produced clones. This activity’s alignment with environmental concerns only became obvious as her work progressed\, deepening her attraction to plastics and providing a limit to work within.  \nThe collection primarily consists of highly artificial representations of natural forms. Plastic signifies planetary destruction and is thus more hastily banished to thrift stores and landfills than ever. These lone objects are imbued with precious care in an effort to rescue them from their classification as unsightly taboo. \nRoan assembles sculptures as if they are puzzles\, seeking out even the most minuscule synchronistic moments when the parts happen to fit together just so\, and begin to speak as a single form. Together\, this queer cast of sculptures diffuse the boundary between nature and artifice. \nShelf-Life is an ongrowing arrangement of (mostly) unmodified objects\, which have been maintained in Roan’s home for several years. The title is a play on “still life” and perishability. \nFor more information: \nhttp://kristineroan.com

SUMMARY:Cultured Interactions
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-Th\, 10am–5pm\nF\, 10-1pm \nReception: June 16th\, 3–5pm \nCultured Interactions\, a solo exhibition of works on paper by Guhapriya Ranganathan\, explores the process of physical and spiritual change and growth through continuous interactions\, movement and synthesis. Ranganathan relies on scientific research as a primary source for her work. She says\, “Scientific research involves stepping into the unknown without fixed or definite answers. The abstract nature of the questions and the experimentation involved in research mirrors the process of creating art and becomes a metaphor for the experience of life.” Her works are reminiscent of maps that reference neurological patterns\, memory\, and travel\, asking us to consider how changes at the microcosmic level lead us to visually and spiritually reflect on the macrocosm. \nAbout Guhapriya: \nBorn and brought up in India\, Guhapriya Ranganathan (Gupi) had prior degrees in engineering and management before moving to the United States in 1995. She studied art at Simmons College\, and received her MFA in painting and printmaking from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2008. From 2009 to 2011\, Gupi was the Broad Artist in Residence. She has exhibited and shared her work focusing on the intersection of art and science in galleries and forums in the US\, China and India. Her work is represented in public and private collections. She currently works and lives in Wayland\, Massachusetts. \nhttp://www.guhapriyaranganathan.com/ \nConcatenation 03\, 2017

SUMMARY:Commemorating a Meltdown
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 95\nPorter Mills Building\n95 Rantoul Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nApril 30\, 12 – 3\nMay 1\, 4 – 6\nMay 2\, 5 – 8\nMay 3\, 3 – 6\nMay 4\, 12 – 6 \nReception: May 2nd\, 5–8pm \nCommemorating a Meltdown features the work of Fine Arts seminar seniors Percival Barron\, Meaghan Greene\, Jackson Haley\, Chelsea MacDowell and Lex Young. \nWhether it’s through letterpress\, printmaking\, embroidery or digital manipulation each artist explores non-traditional subject matter in their work. With underlying themes of decomposition\, physical or societal\, the artists highlight subject matters that are not a mainstream focus in society. \nThe artists hope to create moments of contemplation and self reflection within the viewer. \nIn much of the work the artists have re-purposed traditional utilitarian methods which mirrors the shift of Porter Mill from an industrial building to a place of artistic creation. \nPercival Barron (Painting) taps into memory and its nature through digital degradation. \nMeaghan Greene (Interdisciplinary) explores ideas of preciousness and mortality through embroidery and images of dead animals. \nJackson Haley (Printmaking) utilizes traditional letterpress printmaking to explore superstitious beliefs and ideas. \nChelsea MacDowell (Printmaking) appropriates images from natural history through printmaking and drawing processes\, to express her interest in the insect world and decomposition. \nLex Young (Book Arts and Creative Writing) employs an experimental approach to letterpress printing using text and image to explore the abstract and fluid nature of gender\, sexuality\, mental health and how and where they intersect.
