Sat 6/20, 12-6 pm: Arlington Porchfest
| | Join us on Saturday, May 30 from 4-6 pm for Chance Meeting, a conversation with the artists of Happenstance. We are expecting Nicole Duennebier, Chen Peng and Dorothea Van Camp to be in attendance to share their thoughts about their bodies of work. Each artist has developed a style, artistic philosophy and area of focus that make their work distinct and recognizable. By bringing them together, we hope to provoke questions and spark intriguing connections. What shared ideas might you spot between these different artists and their work? | | | | | If you haven't yet made it to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to see Framing Nature: Gardens and Imagination, you still have time to experience this unique exhibition before it closes on June 28. We have a special connection to the show, as Claudio Eshun, one of our artists, has a photograph included in the installation (left). To highlight Eshun's work and its inclusion in this sweeping exhibition, Gallery Director Caitee Hoglund has written a review of the show, which you can read here. | Claudio Eshun, Untitled (Our Family's Garden), digital archival inkjet print | | |
Last spring we were proud to host Untold Stories: Public Art Commemorating Arlington 250, an exhibition of three public art projects that explored Arlington’s contributions to the American Revolution in order to celebrate its 250th anniversary.
The projects featured in that exhibition are currently having their second act. The banners designed by Suzanne Moseley and Liz Shepherd for People, Plants & Revolution have been reinstalled in the center of town, and the audio tour is still available to learn about local flora and use by revolutionaries. On Wednesday June 10 at 7-8:30 pm, poets will present their work at Pedestals and Poetry which was inspired by Chris Frost's installation Unseen/Unforgotten: A Remembrance of Menotomy’s Everyday Defenders, 1775 at the Robbins Public Library. Frost installed empty pedestals outside the library to honor the regular citizens who contributed to the Revolution. Don't miss this unique event combining poetry and public art.
