This week we're presenting Boston Sculptors Gallery, AVA Gallery and New Bedford Art Museum.
There are many ways to see the world, and in this week's exhibitions, artists look past the obvious to see the nuance, detail and hidden features of what's sitting just under the surface. These artists sing obfuscation to bring new appreciation to aging, straining the eye and mind to see what lies within a liminal space, and seeing everyday, utilitarian materials as objects of art.
Download the Artscope Magazine App to get the complete experience for our September / October 2024 issue. Available on Friday, September 6.

Look Don't Look at Boston Sculptors Gallery
in Boston, Massachusetts, Through September 29

Boston Sculptors Gallery presents Look Don't Look, which features a collection of wearable wire sculptures designed to both conceal and emphasize the person wearing them. Artist Liz Shepherd invited 10 friends "of a certain age" to sit for portraits wearing the wire sculptures. “I wanted to see if their attitude about their appearance might be influenced by the experience of wearing an unusual, often flamboyant, object," she said in a statement. The exhibit includes the sculptures themselves as well as silkscreen images of the sculptures printed on mirrors so that visitors can view themselves through the lens of the artwork. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 5 to 8 p.m. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Boston Sculptors Gallery is located at 486 Harrison Avenue, Boston, MA.

AVA Gallery presents between water and sun, an exhibition of work by 33 artists who explore the often-overlooked space between the water and the sun. This theme was completely open to interpretation by artists who submitted work in all mediums from photography to painting and everything in between. No artist approached the theme in the same way, with each putting their own spin on the prompt. The show's artist reception will be held Friday, Sept. 6 from 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. AVA Gallery is located at 11 Bank Street, Lebanon, NH. For more information, please visit here. | |

New Bedford Art Museum presents Abberation, a show that displays the work of former mariner Alex Buchanan, who takes rope, fishing nets and steel from clam cages and combines those materials with nautical knot tying to "[lift] them out of the realm of utilitarian activity transfiguring them in the service of the sublime," according to a curatorial statement. Buchanan's large-scale sculptures of rope, metal and other recycled materials "display a commanding technical bravura and an undeniable presence" while also seeming soft, familiar and nostalgic for anyone who grew up in a coastal community. The museum is open Thursday to Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. New Bedford Art Museum is located at 608 Pleasant Street, New Bedford, MA. For more information, please visit here. | |
