This week we're presenting Montserrat College of Art, William Benton Museum of Art, and Cove Street Arts.
No two artists see the world in quite the same way. Everyone who puts paint to canvas, snaps a shutter or carves a block of wood is capturing their world in a unique way. The artists in this week's featured exhibitions look at things from a particularly off-beat vantage point that is sure to give viewers something new to think about.
The September/October edition of Artscope Magazine will soon be available at a gallery, museum or arts organization near you. Want more Artscope? Visit artscopemagazine.com and sign up for online access to see all of our articles, reviews, spotlights and profiles any time, anywhere.

Earthen Clay: As the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies at Montserrat College of Art
in Beverly, Massachusetts through September 27
| | Earthen Clay, As the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies, installation view. Image courtesy of Montserrat College of Art. | | Montserrat College of Art presents Earthen Clay: As the apple disappears into water and sweetness in our bodies, Alaska-born artist Earthen Clay’s first solo exhibition in Massachusetts. This exhibition, named for the book "The Wild Heart" by American author Jack Kornfield, includes paintings and sculptures made in the last two years. According to an artist statement, this body of work "responds to Kornfield’s visual theorization of objects" and "through a series of interrelated works that call to each other, Clay is interested in questioning an unchanging, fixed view that forecloses alternate potential liberatory futures." There will be an artist talk on Monday, Sept. 22 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and an artist reception on Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 5 to 7 p.m. The gallery is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 12 to 5 p.m. Montserrat Gallery is located at 23 Essex Street, Beverly, MA. For more information, please visit here. | | |

According to a curatorial statement, although clouds are "often physically far away from life on the Earth’s surface, clouds support life on the planet. We may take them for granted, but like art, we need clouds." This exhibition is presented in collaboration with the University of Connecticut College of Engineering and Professor Georgios Matheou who recently received a prestigious National Science Foundation award for his work surrounding clouds. The opening reception will be held on September 4. The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. The William Benton Museum of Art is located at 245 Glenbrook Road, Storrs, CT.

"In my paintings, I explore our human basic needs and need nots in life such as food, sex, love, joy, violence, vice, agony, greed, spirituality, and death." The gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cove Street Arts is located at 71 Cove St., Portland, ME.
