Sat 10/11, 4-6 pm: Sepulchritude - a conversation with Nicole Duennebier and Mike Ryczek, the artists of Resting Place, with an accompanying performance by composer and cellist Eden Rayz

Thu 10/30, 6-8 pm: Halloween Party - costumes encouraged, best dressed wins a prize!

Thu 10/23 - Sun 10/26: Join us at the inaugural Affordable Art Fair Boston - Booth E6 at the SoWa Power Station, Harrison Ave

Please join us on Saturday, October 11 from 4-6 pm for a conversation with Nicole Duennebier and Mike Ryczek, the artists of our current exhibition Resting Place. Eden Rayz, a composer and cellist known for immersive performances that function as self-actualization rituals, will perform an accompaniment to the works on display.

Duennebier and Ryczek will discuss the themes and influences present in their current work. In Resting Place, the artists ponder a recurring motif, that of an absent yet strongly felt presence. Summoning an atmosphere of mystery and curiosity tinged with menace, the artists meditate on tombs, makeshift altars and accumulations of objects—sites laden with meaning not immediately accessible to the viewer.

Between conversations with the artists, Rayz will create an improvised performance responding to the work in Resting Place.

The event will begin at 4 pm with a reception and refreshments, and the artist talk with musical performance will commence around 4:30 pm. Limited seating is available.

We had the honor of jurying the Cambridge Art Association's Red Dot Small Works Show earlier this summer, and were pleased to attend the opening on September 25. When curating this show, we focused on selecting small works that make a large impact within a limited space. We always appreciate the opportunity to take a break from our typical gallery practice and curate for a different audience. And of course it is always a pleasure to get a taste of the wide range of talent within the Boston art community. It was great to meet the artists who we juried into the show - keep an eye out for a few of them in our upcoming holiday exhibition Plenty 2025.
