Bonnell Robinson, George Nugent grave, Somme, France.

Sightlines is currently on view at Lesley University's VanDernoot Gallery through April 7. This exhibition features the photographs of Richard Zauft and Bonnell Robinson, Dean of Lesley University College of Art and Design and former Director of Exhibitions at Lesley University respectively. Zauft presents photographs from his In Congruities series, which aims to capture the unexpected moment that happens between an idea and its result. "The phenomenon of the unexpected and the invisible is uncontrollable by the photographer," says Zauft. "It exists in the gap between the idea and the result, a space wholly unbridgeable. This is where God lives. I look for images in that space." Robinson shows photographs taken of World War I fronts, which she's been traveling to and photographing for over a decade. "What amazed me was how much remains in evidence of that conflict," Robinson says, "Unusual contours of wheat fields, undulating hillsides too regular to be natural, occasional debris or rubble, unexploded and rusting shells left by farmers by the roadside to be picked up by demolition teams. After 90 years, the scars are still visible, haunting and deeply disturbing." Both photographers are masters of their crafts, and it shows in their uncompromising and thought-provoking photographs. There will be a reception for Sightlines tonight from 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. Lesley University's VanDernoot Gallery is located in University Hall at 1815 Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 12:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m., Thursday 12:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 12:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. For more information, visit lesley.edu/events/sightlines.

YJ Contemporary Fine Art Gallery is showing Art & Design: A Conversation through April 23. This exhibition features the work of eight local contemporary artists. Marjorie Hellman, Tayo Heuser, Marc Mazzarelli and Conny Goelz Schmitt exhibit their paintings, drawings, and paper collages alongside furniture designed and built by John Dunnigan, Gail Fredell, Tyler Inman and Timothy Philbrick. The works compliment and build off each other, making connections between two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. According to Art & Design: A Conversation's exhibition page, "The exhibition celebrates the shared process of geometric spatial reasoning used to produce abstract, two-dimensional pieces and functional, three-dimensional pieces." Art & Design aims to spark conversations among its viewers about the similarities and differences between art and design. YJ Contemporary Fine Art Gallery is located at 42 Ladd Street in East Greenwich, Rhode Island and is open Monday 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., Thursday 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., and Saturday 11:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. For more information, please visit yjcontemporary.com/exhibitions.

Maud Morgan Arts Chandler Gallery's small works show, Interior Spaces, will be on view from March 25 to April 19. Juror Hilary Tait Norod evaluated pieces from over 110 artists, who were asked to focus on their own "interior spaces" in their works. The result is a wide variety of selections as diverse and different as the artists who created them. Some works are straightforward scenes while others are more abstract, radiating calm or evoking turmoil. For all their differences, the works all encourage the viewer to look deeper and draw from more than what is on the canvas. As Tait Norod says, "Although the work may be highly individualized, they all produce and invoke a warm accessibility for the viewer to attach their own personable stories to." There will be an opening reception for Interior Spaces on Thursday, April 4 from 6:00 p.m.–8:00 p.m. Chandler Gallery is located at 20A Sacramento Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts and is open Monday–Friday 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. For more information, contact Gallery Coordinator Boriana Kantcheva at (617) 349-6287 or [email protected].
