Spaces In Between at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery
in North Attleboro, Massachusetts now through July 26th
Encrypted by Galen Cheney, mixed media on panel.
As makers, lovers and collectors of art, it's important for us to reflect on who or what lit our creative sparks and consider how we might pass this influence on to younger generations. If we hope to continue making, loving and creating art, we have to be sure the tools and opportunities to do so are available to everyone, especially young adults with hearts, minds and talents for the art world. Right now,
The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery is hosting its third annual scholarship fundraiser to help support local high school artists continuing in the arts. Because this scholarship is important to us, we bet it's important to you too. Spaces in Between features unique, abstract perspectives through the creative eyes of twelve artists. This exhibition will give the viewer a glimpse inside, outside, around and in between everyday objects without immediate representation. Balance, geometry, light, shadow, emotional connections with decay or time and expressive techniques invite the viewers into the works. North Attleboro High School art teacher Christopher Flanagan and two of his former students, Sarah Brousseau and Stephen Hrycenko, are featured in the exhibition. Hrycenko was the 2013 scholarship recipient. The other artists of Spaces In Between are Galen Cheney, Robin Wessman, Carol Wontkowski, Fred Smilde, Lindsay Nygaard, Christina Beecher, Tracey Maroni, Jason Hancock and Matt Slobogan. Cheney, whose artwork is featured above, draws inspiration from peeling frescoes of Pompeii, ancient cave paintings and abandoned city walls given over to graffiti. Of these inspirations, Cheney says, "I relate to them aesthetically as well as emotionally...Formerly calligraphic elements have morphed into tangled tendrils of color that sometimes read as human limbs, braids, spines, geological forms, underwater tubers or players at a cartoon carnival." Spaces In Between is on view now through Saturday, July 26th at The Preservation Framer & Art Gallery. If you're looking for a way to ensure a future for the arts, a donation box is set up and in place at the gallery waiting for you.

Exposed at Helen Day Art Center
in Stowe, Vermont now through October 15th
Fictious Force by Beka Goedde.
It's summer and you're trying to take advantage of the nicer weather by spending more time outside—we hear you. That's why we're sharing with you an exhibition of outdoor sculpture tradition, presented by the folks at Helen Day Art Center. 2014 marks the 23rd year of Exposed and features 19 artists and writers displaying sculpture and writing throughout the town of Stowe, Vermont. National and international artists have installed sculpture and site-specific installations along Main Street, the Recreation Path and on Helen Day Art Center's property, along with three regional creative writers who have poems featured on storefront windows in town. The sculptures and writing all engage with nature in the most surprising of ways, making the outdoor location of this sprawling exhibition the perfect place for a stimulating summer stroll that will let you appreciate the weather and the artwork simultaneously. This year's docket hosts a mix of emerging and internationally recognized sculptors from as close as Morrisville, Vermont to a far as Mexico City. Beka Goedde, whose piece Fictitious Force is featured above, is a sculptor and printmaker whose work explores duration, the perception of change and movement in physical space. Goedde explained her work by saying, "A fictitious force, in physics, is an apparent force; it is not due to one object or another accelerating, but instead the natural frame of reference itself is accelerating. The rug is a household object I employ especially for its concentric, circular, or centripetal and centrifugal pattern. Fictitious Force is a cast concrete tiled formation of a braided rug, planted in the ground." The installation is intended to be trod upon like paving stones. The elliptical formation of the cast, tiled rug encircles the foreground view of the vast, pastoral landscape and mountain wilderness beyond. Exposed is on view now through Wednesday, October 15th throughout Stowe, Vermont. To create a more comprehensive and engaging exhibition, the following methods of guidance are available for visitors: cellphone audio tours, extensive website information, walkabout tours, a comprehensive map and a full color catalogue with images and descriptions.
