Dorchester Art Project is proud to present Caught in a Dream, a curatorial proposal exhibition that features work by Melanie Bernier, Emily Brodrick, Isshoni Delva, Dory Dinoto, Samantha Fields, Danielle Freiman, Emily Manning-Mingle, Joetta Maue, and Kawandeep Virdee. Caught in a Dream transforms the gallery into an inviting, inspiring space that encourages viewers to explore the ways in which artists weave ambitions, memories and desires into their work. Evoking the Surrealist Movement of the 1920s, when artists created dream-influenced work with the goal of liberating themselves from rational and restrictive thought, Caught in a Dream celebrates the artist’s desire to investigate new possibilities within their practice and to reimagine their world unrestricted by present-day realities. In reflecting upon the boundaries between craft and fine art, the culture of consumption, the prevalence of technology, crises capitalism, and the role of identity, the artists engage in meditative processes and radical acts of dreaming; acts by which they question their present state and generate new possibilities in order to manifest alternate outcomes. Samantha Fields, Kawandeep Virdee, and Emily Brodrick find creative meaning through innovation, play and experimentation. While working on ambitious processed-based work, Fields, Virdee and Brodrick push the boundaries of their chosen media, creating surreal large-scale pieces that prompt viewers to engage with art in new ways. Isshoni Delva, Joetta Maue, and Emily Manning-Mingle mine their personal histories and memories in order to tell stories about their emotional states and roles within society. Using fiber as inspiration, material and metaphor, Delva, Maue and Manning-Mingle grant access into their intimate living spaces and psychological states. Melanie Bernier, Dory Dinoto and Danielle Freiman create art about and as part of their personal activism. Expanding upon their participation in cultural and political movements, they question social norms, muse about utopian ideas, and envision alternative ways of living. In dreaming, the artists can connect seemingly disconnected elements and ideas, and explore their deepest desires and fears. Dreams, when embraced, pave the way for creative breakthroughs, intimate expressions of identity, and new realities. Caught in a Dream creates a perpetually active space in which the viewer is invited to join the artists in the process of dreaming. Winter Works @ Bromfield Gallery
