Reclaim Reprocess at Flinn Gallery
in Greenwich, Connecticut now through January 18
"Accumulations #4" by Jaynie Crimmins
Five contemporary artists create unique works using discarded by-products in order to repurpose materials and bring light to today's consumer culture and environmental waste. The Flinn Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut hosts artists Jaynie Crimmins, Alice Hope, Jonathan Mess, Constance Old and Joanne Ungar in Reclaim Reprocess running now through January 18. Curated by Sallie Baldwin and Ruth Sutcliffe, Reclaim Reprocess includes artists who, despite different approaches, materials and styles, each artist aims to "elevate and illuminate the ordinary and overlooked aspects of our daily existence." By creating these up-cycled pieces, the art starts a bigger conversation which also being aesthetically pleasing and interesting to viewers. Pieces in the exhibition include Joanne Ungar's TCP LED 50000 Hours 1 composed of beeswax, paraffin and painted cardboard, and Alice Hope's Untitled 2016, composed of used coke can tabs and IV tubing. The artists use everyday materials in their pieces including shredded household mail, which creates the majority of Jaynie Crimmins' Accumulations #4 and Situational Factors 3. Jonathan Mess uses various reclaimed ceramic materials in order to create the works for the show, including Reclaim Slab No. 6. Mess notes, "It is my goal to not only push my work with new forms and materials, but also to push the overall ceramic conversation regarding sustainability and our relationship to the earth." Reclaim Reprocess is on view now through January 18 at the Flinn Gallery in Greenwich, Connecticut with an artist talk on Saturday, January 14 at 2 p.m. For gallery hours and additional information click here.

Kodachrome Memory at The Cape Ann Museum
in Gloucester, Massachusetts now through February 19
Photography by Nathan Benn
The Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts hosts Kodachrome Memory, a collection of photographs by photographer Nathan Benn, now through February 19, 2017. Kodachrome Memory features photographs taken in and around Cape Ann in 1978 and display intimate moments of the people of Cape Ann and the space in which they inhabit. Benn, who worked for National Geographic Magazine from 1972 to 1991, photographed the Dead Sea, Prague, South Korea, the Mississippi Delta region, northern Vermont, New York's Finger Lakes and Boston's North Shore. For six months between June and October 1978, Benn shot a total of 286 rolls of Kodak's 33 mm color film Kodachrome. Published by National Geographic in April 1979, the spread included an article by Randall S. Peffer and images of sculptors, painters, the radio broadcaster and residents of Rockport and the North Shore. The exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum features over 30 images of the six months Benn spent photographing the North Shore and celebrates the culture of the town and brings light to the similarities and differences of the citizens. His photographs are inquisitive without being intruding. The featured photograph shows Franklyn E. Goucher, an Essex clammer, digging at Castle sand flat, the same flat he has dug at for over 50 years. What makes Benn's North Shore photographs so intriguing is the story that corresponds with them and the trust that progressed between subject and photographer. Benn continued to photograph for the company until 1991 and has published several books and he continues to amaze viewers with his inquisitive and intimate images. Kodachrome Memory is on view now through February 19 at the Cape Ann Museum. On Saturday, January 7, Nathan Benn will be giving a presentation about his time spent as a photographer for the magazine and his time spent in the North Shore. For more information, click here.
