SUMMARY:TDP Gallery - Nikko Sedgwick
DESCRIPTION:This series of mixed-media works is a meditation on the passage of time\, morality\, memory\, and interpersonal relationships. Sedgwick deconstructs and excavates his images revealing many layers. He melts the photo emulsion using various solvents as a way to paint within the photographs; he then combines various mediums including paint\, ink\, glitter\, and collaged materials to evoke an animation or aura within the image. Sedgwick states\, “Nothing makes our passage through time resonate with as much immediacy than seeing our children\, parents and loved ones being born\, aging and dying around us.” This manifestation of “life” within the images contradicts our conventional notions of a photograph distilling a moment in time.

SUMMARY:East Gallery - A View of Humanity
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery – A View of Humanity \nKaren Bonanno\, Camille Eskell\, Jennifer Knaus\, Gerald Saladyga \nThis group exhibition bridges a variety of styles of painting and sculpture that highlight the figure as the main subject and speaks to the many viewpoints and representations of identity that make up humanity. \n  \nKaren Bonanno’s expressive paintings highlight interactions between the female figure and the empowerment of women. The paintings depict scenes from everyday life\, focusing on interactions between the subject and their environment. Bonanno’s bold color\, gestures\, and mark making represent the strong\, confident\, and iconic female figure. \n  \nCamille Eskell’s Intricate textile sculptures examine cultural and family dynamics in relation to her Iraqi-Jewish heritage\, with themes of vulnerability\, rebirth\, gender relationships\, and social conventions.  Eskell states\, “I tackle the impact of this social and psychological legacy mainly through a feminist lens.” The crafting of each piece is meticulous\, time-consuming\, and process-driven using a range of materials and techniques\, both traditional and contemporary. \n\nJennifer Knaus’ imaginary portraits draw inspiration from surrealist subconscious thought. Her acute attention to detail idealizes notions of beauty and importance that are embellished with humor and absurdity as entire gardens grow from her figures’ heads. \n\nGerald Saladyga’s stylized paintings combine a flattened sense of perspective\, along with the repetition of objects and characters.  Saladyga states\, “It could be said that I “don’t paint” a painting\, but construct it from the bottom of the canvas upwards using various widths of tape to define the prescribed edges and shapes using a particular color scheme until completion.” His paintings also combine contemporary and historic war imagery\, as seen in his painting Two Saints Visit the Ukraine.

SUMMARY:West Gallery - Debra Weisberg
DESCRIPTION:The work of Debra Weisberg will be featured in the new exhibit\, Holding the Center Still: Redux. Comprising collaged paper works and a large-scale floor installation\, Weisberg’s richly dense body of work touches on the profound relationship between collapse and renewal. The work exposes the highly vulnerable nature of paper as a transparent and fragile medium that is also surprisingly enduring and sturdy. \nDuring the opening reception and final day of the show\, Brazilian choreographer\, Paula Higa\, will perform an interpretive dance in response to Weisberg’s work on June 9 at 7 pm and July 15 at 5 pm respectively. Higa’s performance adds a human element to the chaotic paper landscape\, connecting the visual and haptic senses to the materiality of the work. \nThis exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council\, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council – Funding is also provided by the University of Vermont\, College of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:Annex - Erika Larskaya
DESCRIPTION:PORTALS\nOpening Reception: June 23\, 6-8 PM\nFor her current exhibition\, Portals\, Erika Larskaya presents selected works from various series. Each work shares the common theme of opening to alternate spaces; spaces in parallel existence to this moment. Each painting is its own invitation to explore beyond the surface and enter into an invisible\, subtle\, and unexpressed territory\, where complexity\, impermanence\, and the mental struggle to balance emotional weight are present and where opposites can complement each other in dynamic coexistence.\nErika Larskaya of Torrington Connecticut is an abstract artist working in acrylics and mixed media. She is originally from St. Petersburg\, Russia. Erika brings a passion for experimentation and pushing boundaries to her work which has driven her to expand beyond the conventional. She has evolved her own methodology and technique – driven by her desire to express things that are not seen but rather felt.\n  \nGallery Open: \nFridays 6-8 PM \nSaturdays: 4-8 PM \nSundays 1-4 PM \nand open by appointment \n
