| Description: | A juried selection of established and emerging contemporary artists from New England present thought-provoking paintings, drawings, prints, and installations. Artists: Diane Ayott, Eugenie Lewalski Berg, Edith Borax-Morrison, Rebecca Clark, Taiga Ermansons, Heather Kasunick, Chris Nelson, Jennifer OConnell, Jon Petro, Judy Riola, Cameron Schmitz, Jennifer Simms, Heidi Whitman. The New England/New Talent exhibition is a wonderful introduction to contemporary art, explains curator Kristina Durocher. Visitors will discover new approaches and methods to making art. Some of the artists use very common materials in their work to create elaborate and sophisticated installations. Jennifer Simms builds wall sculptures from seeds, bark, mica, and other organic matter and Chris Nelson constructs intimate site-specific sculptures from just string, nails, and plastic. Painting and drawing figures prominently in the show, but each artist's creative process is unique and the results are visually and conceptually exciting. There is much to discover in this year's New England/ New Talent exhibition. The Museum also presents A Fine Line: 20th-Century Prints from the Collection, through June 1, 2008. Drawn from the Museums permanent collection of works of art on paper, this exhibition presents superb examples of lithography, etching, engraving, and woodblock prints from some of the twentieth centurys finest artists. |
