"Veracity and urgency are embedded in the materials they chose to handle, the images they chose to create, the subjects they chose to depict, and the structures they chose to build. What are the boundaries of identity? Are there new ways to depict the human body? How does one expand conventions and traditions? What does it mean to be radical? How does one structure freedom? How does one make the invisible visible? These students consider these, and other questions, through the disciplines of painting and sculpture, and the friction-filled histories and porous parameters of each."

The exhibition features 27 artists working in a variety of styles and media. 460 Harrison Avenue, C#7 Boston, MA 02118 Gallery Hours: Wed.-Sat. 11am-6pm & Sun. 11am-4pm Pattern and Repetition @ Site: Brooklyn
An Online Exhibition Juried by Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy December 23, 2021-January 23, 2022 *Extended to February 25! Pattern and Repetition features works by twenty-six artists employing various materials, including fiber, paper, clay, wood, mixed media, and video, that together quilt a rich picture of the versatility of patterning as an artistic strategy. Although most overtly used in clothing and home decor, patterns are everywhere, even nature. Inhabiting a spectrum, they can be minimal, complex, muted, bold, precise, organic, and range widely in scale. There are many well-known patterns, such as plaid and houndstooth. However, with only a few gestures made in sequence, a new pattern is born, intrinsically intertwining with repetition. It is a decorative technique that allows for maximum impact through a straightforward approach. Many patterns also hold cultural and historical significance worldwide, from Islamic sacred geometry to Scottish kilts and Acoma pottery. Repetition within a pattern establishes a flow that fosters balance and order, yet ironically, it can create a disorienting or maddening chaos if taken a step too far. This exhibition underscores the inherently repetitive nature of artistic labor, from cutting pieces of paper and puzzling them back together to craft a new image to building a structure by coiling clay or methodically applying droplets of glaze. Other examples include painstakingly embroidering a photograph, turning wood on a lathe, weaving a textile, and amassing found objects.

December 1 - 19, 2020 450 Harrison Avenue Boston, MA 02118 Reception: Friday, Dec 3, 6-8 pm Gallery Hours: Wed.-Sun. 12-5pm Image: Emily Manning-Mingle, Polka Dot Reflection, oil on canvas, 14 x 11 inches, 2016 Middle Ground @ CommonWealth Gallery November 6 - 12, 2021 855 Commonwealth Avenue Boston, MA 02215 I'm excited to share news about my two-person show, Middle Ground, with Benjamin Hawley @ BU's Commonwealth Gallery! As part of our second-year graduate seminar class, we have been working collaboratively to create a proposal and install a show of our work, and I'm so proud of it!
Made to engage with the quiet act of looking, the paintings and prints in Middle Ground reflect routines and memories. In this show, Emily Manning-Mingle and Benjamin Hawley examine cherished objects and collected observations, extending the life of these things by painting them into psychological and ethereal spaces. The imagery in their paintings is inspired by long walks, states of matter, inherited and found objects, material explorations, and iconic architecture. Often returning to the same objects again and again, each artist develops ongoing relationships with the things they repeatedly depict. Applying layers of thinly veiled paint, ink, thread, and fabric, Hawley and Manning-Mingle translate their observations into intricate and expansive experiences that blur the boundaries between observation and abstraction. The resulting works highlight a shared devotion to perceptual painting and an appreciation for the sublime within the natural and mundane. We will be having a closing reception on Friday, November 12 from 6-7:30pm. In accordance with BU's current visitor policies, if you would like to see the show, you must RSVP in advance. |
