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.

SUMMARY:DAVID BUCKLEY BORDEN: SITE VISIT
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\n24/7 \nDavid Buckley Borden’s installation\, Site Visit\, can now be viewed at the 301 Frame Gallery at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly\, MA. Site Visit is a traveling installation intended to promote a cultural ecology supported by art-based interdisciplinary science-communication. The installation includes twenty-four speculative design objects ranging from “Back 40 Eco Monitors” for the suburban corporate-class compound to a “Flood Light Warning System” aimed at warning coastal citizens of approaching storm flooding.  \n\nDavid Buckley Borden is a Cambridge-based interdisciplinary artist and designer known for his creative practice of making ecological issues culturally relevant to the general public by means of accessible art and design. David studied landscape architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design and worked with Sasaki Associates and Ground before focusing his practice at the intersection of landscape\, creativity\, and cultural event. David’s work now manifests in a variety of forms\, ranging from site-specific landscape installations in the woods to data-driven cartography in the gallery. David’s place-based projects highlight both pressing environmental issues and everyday phenomena and have recently earned him residencies at the Santa Fe Arts Institute\, Teton Art Lab\, Trifecta Hibernaculum\, and MASS MoCA. David was a 2016/2017 Bullard Fellow at the Harvard Forest where he answered the question\, “How can art and design foster cultural cohesion around environmental issues and help inform ecology-minded decision making?” \nFree Public Program:\nAaron Ellison and David Borden\nA conversation about the Hemlock Hospice project now on view at Harvard Forest\nApril 16\, 2018\n11:30-12:20 p.m.\n23 Essex street\, RM H201

DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 12–6pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: November 1st\, 5–8pm \nBorders—whether demarcating geography\, politics\, identities\, or ideas—are shifting more rapidly than ever before\, leaving everything in a state of flux\, with seemingly disparate parts coming together at every turn in new\, inventive\, and sometimes volatile ways.  Depending on one’s vantage point\, this fluidity can be uplifting\, disorienting\, or transformative. \nArtists Esteban del Valle\, Jose de Jesus Rodriguez\, and Sean Downey make paintings\, prints\, videos\, and animations that draw\, in part\, from cinema\, political cartoons\, and pop culture iconography and that engage with the topics of displacement\, personal and collective memory\, visual culture\, and the history of art—reminding us that nothing we know is fixed and that all is open to endless interpretation. \nPanel discussion with Esteban del Valle\, Sean Downey\, and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez\, moderated by curator Michele L’Heureux Nov. 29 at 6:00 p.m.\, Montserrat Gallery

SUMMARY:CHRISTOPHER ALDAY
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours 24/7 \nReception October 21st 6–9pm \nChristopher Alday is a California native and Minnesota based artist who primarily works with printmaking.   Using repetition and the fracturing of simple shapes\, he creates vast modular arrays that can take innumerable forms and dimensions. Installations like the one on view generate deceptive amounts of movement\, tone\, and depth with the aid of optical illusion and implied lines.  The prints on display were made possible by Jerome Emerging Printmaker’s Residency 2014/2015 and Highpoint Center for Printmaking\, Minneapolis\, MN.

Their illustrations — brushed with cobwebs and punctuated by spider-legs — reveal entities\, places\, and creatures from regions unknown\, incorporeal\, and in- between.

DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 12–6pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 28th\, 5–8pm \nCaitlin and Nicole are sibling rivals in the best way possible\, and no matter how hard they try to abstain\, they continue to collaborate. Caitlin trained in photography but primarily works in narrative illustration\, and Nicole is a classically trained painter who creates exquisitely rendered\, luscious still-lifes in the tradition of the Dutch masters. Together\, their styles aren’t so much blended as they are overlaid and intertwined; simply drawn figures wade through puddles of dense oil in their fantastical and sometimes frightening vignettes. \n  \nCaitlin and Nicole Duennebier visiting artists presentation\nSeptember 28\, 11:30–12:20 p.m.\nCarol Schlosberg Alumni Gallery \nShow Description\ninsert nextgen gallery from green button above

SUMMARY:QUIETUS
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nT-F\, 12–6pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: October 21st\, 6–9pm \nCurated by Nathan Lewis\, Quietus is an exploration of the indescribable nature of loss\, memory\, and their manifestations. Rather than glorifying death or dying\, this exhibition looks at how we memorialize and render tangible that which we may have lost\, wish to regain\, or never had. Through film\, photography\, sculpture\, and forensic drawings\, these five artists examine the ardent desire to communicate about and come to terms with the passing of a person.  \nThe included artists span a wide range of media\, backgrounds\, and interests. Minnesota-based social practice artist\, Jess Hirsch\, creates work that begs participation from across streets\, cities\, cultures\, and lifetimes; Sculptor\, Andy Mauery of Maine\, uses the reverential material of hair to comment upon extinction\, gender\, craft\, and sacred remnants; Detective Ian Spencer of the Lincoln\, MA police force is an internationally recognized forensic and reconstructive artist who returns the likeness and voices to those whom have had it unjustly taken; Shannon Taggart is a documentary photographer from New York who offers glimpses into the lives and communities of those who wish to communicate with the departed; Berlin-based artist David Zink Yi\, is a multi-media creator who blends music\, sculpture\, and performance in an attempt to conjure hidden feelings and beings. \nVisiting Artist events: \nShannon Taggart with author Peter Bebergal\n\nA conversation about art\, the otherworldly\, and technology\n\nOctober 26\, 2017\n6:30-8:00 p.m.\n301 Gallery\n\nDetective Ian Spencer\nNew England’s only FBI trained forensic artist shares experiences and techniques\nNovember 9\, 2017\n6:30-8:00 p.m.\nB-208\, 248 Cabot St\n

DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM–F\, 12–6pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: September 6th\, 5–8pm \n\n\nContemporary figurative painting is more relevant than ever\, as artists portray people engaged with the salient issues of our time—including race\, sexuality\, violence\, migration\, and privacy.

SUMMARY:JULIA SHEPLEY: SEQUENTIAL PRINTS
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM\,T\,W\,F\, 10am–5pm\nTh\, 10am–8pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: July 19th\, 5–7pm \nWe are pleased to present Sequential Prints\, a solo exhibition by Boston-based artist Julia Shepley. Shepley\, an adjunct sculpture professor at Montserrat\, writes that the series of woodcut collages explore themes of “migration\, relocation and resettlement as a universal\, physical\, and personal part of human history and experience.”  \nShepley grew up in Massachusetts and in Sierra Leone West Africa\, studied at Boston University and maintains a studio in the Brickbottom Artist’s Building in Somerville\, MA. \nShifting family and physical situations in childhood\, and travel in adulthood has shaped Shepley’s interest in conveying the experience of adapting to and absorbing a multi-layered sense of place and belonging. \nAbout this project\, Shepley says: \nMy work references the winds and tides of human attachment and energy\, by turns\, dispersing\, settling and accumulating as they are layered and pieced together by time. \nI am inspired by the study of manmade and natural structures and by the process of working with the inherent possibilities of a variety of materials to create works of art that imply a physical journey through the layers of story\, structure and space.  \n  \nFor more information\, please visit: https://www.juliashepley.com

SUMMARY:María Magdalena Campos - Pons
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM\,T\,W\,F\, 10am–5pm\nTh\, 10am–8pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: May 18th 8–9pm \nMaria Magdalena Campos-Pons’ work is autobiographical. “It encompasses a larger story. It reveals a history of survival- of a culture\, a religion\, and a people- from the oceanic voyage from Africa during the slave trade in the 18th century\, to its aftermath in Cuba on the sugar plantations\, to the present day in the United States. It is a felt history- not one of the rhetorical facts and figures told through non-spoken\, fragmented narratives.” Campos-Pons’ work\, although an expression of absence and loss\, is a celebratory gesture toward a unique and resilient culture. \nHer work is an investigation of history and memory\, and their roles in the formation of identity. Born in Matanzas province in Cuba in 1959\, Campos-Pons bears a familial history that is intermingled with the sugar industry’s presence in her hometown of La Vega. Her roots can be traced from America\, to a Cuban homeland\, to the enslaved who were traded by Spanish colonists and finally back to what is today Nigeria. \nHer works have been exhibited in the United States\, Canada\, Japan\, Norway\, France\, Italy\, and Cuba. She was represented in the Johannesburg Biennial and has had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Campos-Pons’ powerful attachment to her cultural African heritage is one that she has never experienced directly but its presence in the rites and myths of her childhood make her a Cuban transplanted in the United States\, an exile twice over. \nMaría Magdalena Campos-Pons’ free artist lecture will be on Thursday\, May 18 at 6:30pm at Larcom Theatre in Beverly\, MA

SUMMARY:ANTICS
DESCRIPTION:Reception: April 12th\, 5–8pm \nGallery 95\n95 Rantoul Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nM\,T\,W\,F\, 10am–5pm\nTh\, 10am–8pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nGallery 95 presents ANTICS\, a senior thesis exhibition featuring work by Francine Wright\, Gianna Nguyen and Sophie Mayo. Three artists celebrate the notion that not everything is what it seems. Through painting\, sculpture and photography\, they challenge the manipulation of materials and alter the normalities of their mediums. \nFrancine Wright’s recent work titled TEXTures is a reflection of her use of paint as sculptural material. Working with acrylic paint in an impasto technique\, her paintings become dimensional in texture and create a repetitive optical space. When working on this series\, Wright considers herself to be having a direct conversation with the paint. The forms she creates with paint are representational of objects we use to communicate and stay connected with daily. Wright is interested in the synthetic nature of the paint representing plastic\, relating to objects such as cell phones\, key pads\, and remote controls. Each device keeps us connected to the fast paced modern culture which craves instant satisfaction. \nGianna Nguyen is a mixed media sculptor working in a collection of fibers\, handmade paper\, and salvage utilitarian materials. She is interested in visually exploring the functionality of material and questioning the differences between high and low art. By repurposing humble and recognizable materials she challenges the way we value easily accessible materials versus traditional sculptural materials such as bronze\, steel and wood. The textural qualities of the paper and sculptures speak to the reality of each material used. Through a variety of methods such as assemblage\, dipping\, and weaving\, she highlights the aesthetic qualities\, changing function to nonfunctional and inspiring an alternative view to everyday materials. \nSophie Mayo is an interdisciplinary artist whose recent work focuses on the impermanence of time. Her long exposure photographs convey an interaction between time\, space and movement. For this body of work Sophie is not interested in the formal aspects of photography\, rather the emotional. Her photographs share similar qualities to that of charcoal drawings and express an underlying influence of performance.

SUMMARY:Schema
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours\nM-F\, 11:30am–2:30pm\nSat.\, 12–5pm \nReception: Wednesday\, March 29th\, 5–8pm \nSCHEMA is an exhibition of Senior Graphic Design work at Montserrat College of Art. SCHEMA is the culmination of nine graphic designers’ thesis work. All nine designers will be graduating this spring from Montserrat College of Art. The artists and their work include: \nAlex Bonin – Augmented Storytelling is a thesis exploring how augmented reality can be used in conjunction with printed media to create an enhanced experience. \nTaylor Bowen – An exploration of letterpress printing that uses simple manipulations such as masking\, rotation\, and layering to develop abstract compositions that obscure the original letters and bring more focus to the new forms created. \nAdela Bukva – A redesign process of the first aid kit as represented through a visual analysis of 1984’s “Newspeak” language. \nLiYun Chen – Combining western culture and Asian culture to design creative tea packaging. \nLauren Cox – Intertwined explores the use of typewriters as a creative medium instead of as a tool for formal communication. \nKatie Dygon – Patterns for fabrics and accessories made by coding in Processing. \nBritney Payton – Eat.in has emerged out of the idea that everyone has a story to tell when it’s time to cook a meal. \nChase Terranova – STRATA explores what gets passed down in families; the stories and memories of a family that make up its history\, and the concept of self as a result of those things. \nElise Walsh – By studying\, exploring\, and extracting organic colors from our environment I’ve developed a process to learn and share with others. On display will be a full range of dyed colors on natural fabrics\, as well as a visual process of how natural dyeing works.

SUMMARY:ALSO KNOWN AS
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Wednesday\, March 22nd\, 5–8pm \n222 Cabot Gallery\n222 Cabot Street\nBeverly\, MA 01915 \nGallery Hours\nTuesday–Friday\, 3–8pm \nSometimes we forget to notice the small things\, the moments that slip by in an instant. A moment may be the smallest unit of experience\, but over a lifetime\, they add up to make a whole. Bringing together the most recent works of Meghan Kausel\, Andrew Kish\, and Aubrey Mueller\, AKA serves as a compilation of alternative explorations of moments in time.  \nAKA or ‘Also Known As’\, serves its own function well\, as an alias for all three artists in the show. It also recalls themes like that of an alter ego\, and in certain cases unlawful activities. Metaphorically\, it suggests how our pieces may function\, we all steal moments in time and extrapolate something new.\nMeghan Kausel can be seen transferring and solidifying ephemeral motion to permanent form in her prints. Andrew Kish addresses graffiti and graffiti culture in the third dimension\, utilizing a more traditional\, yet raw materialistic approach. A ‘moment in crime’ if you will\, now turned permanent art object. Aubrey Mueller gives form to inadvertent action and happenstance\, her work embodies elements of time and space and reframes them to form a new narrative. Elements of action and gesture are a shared language amongst these artists\, and within AKA evoke alternative moments in time.
