SAVϴRY/asIS/
A show of new works by Audrina Bell Warren and Michael St.Germain, presented at Atlantic Works Gallery, November 2-25 2018.

Individuals in recent polls lament the rapid passage of time and express desire to be more aware and present in life. The solution, say many, equates to slowing down and taking it all in.

Congruent with those aforementioned desires to be more aware and present, the work in AS IS speaks to immediacy, and the responsibility of individuals to accept a frame reference in said form. Deferring to intuition and gut responses, the artist makes rapid mechanical decisions, which explore aesthetic territory beyond the edges of logic and reason. The artist calls the selection of objects and drawings offered in AS IS “fruits of a fool’s errand”.
The SAVeRY is a satirical value analysis – an anecdotal proposal for a place where recognition of worth appreciates, the way a bank functions as an intermediary of trust, providing an institutional “stamp” of approval on all the functions protecting the value of assets saved within it. The context touches upon hyper-localized exchanges of goods and services, as mirrors of those on display around the world. Visitors to the SAVϴRY will likely recognize the connections between proximity to opportunity, and a society asleep and enslaved by capitalism.

Opening celebration and “Brunch” November 3 from 1-4pm
Third Thursday reception November 15 from 6-9pm

In addition, the artists will host “Values” a conversation and virtual forum on “what we find valuable”, a discussion of anything worth considerable value, during regular gallery hours November 9 from 2-6pm. Support for this event provided by its contributors and Cultural Liability Corporation ©

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 6-27

Atlantic Works Gallery presents

Receptions 6-9pm

October 6 OPENING

October 18 THIRD THURSDAY

Justin C. Rounds’ work depicts the everyday shopping cart in image and object, deconstructing and reconstructing the icon of consumer capitalism in an effort to transform the viewer’s perspective on our environmentally and socially destructive buying habits. Salvaged materials are manipulated to create artworks which evoke the tension between nature and the industrialized urban landscape.

For this exhibit, Leigh Hall has reinvented her wall drawing technique from the early 2000’s, working with black masking tape on heavy-weight drawing paper. The result is a large and detailed work, East Boston Greenway, presented as 26 distinct pieces assembled to create a larger-than-life landscape, which crosses the boundaries between realism and abstraction.

Gallery hours: October 6-27: Fridays and Saturdays 2-6pm and by appointment. atlanticworks.org | 80 Border St., 3rd Floor, East Boston, MA 02128 contact@atlanticworks.org | 857-302-8363

Fabrications

paintings by Diane Teubner and Brian Jude Reardon

RECEPTIONS 6-9PM
SEPTEMBER 8 OPENING
SEPTEMBER 20 THIRD THURSDAY

Two painters respond to the made, constructed, assembled.
Diane Teubner attends to interval, measure, and rhythms in her paintings, looking
to textiles – their structure, designs, and embellishments – as a source for her
explorations.

Brian Jude Reardon creates paintings of classic vehicles and farm tractors,
experimenting with the play of bright colors as they describe form. For Reardon,
they are simple objects of desire executed in oil.

September 8 – 29 Fridays and Saturdays 2-6pm

and by appointment.
