Pyromania

a group exhibiton

January 9th – 24th

Pyromania, an idea so exotic that we need to reach beyond English to the language of archetype to contain it. In a group show this January 9th-24th, gallery members will explore its meaning in permutations ranging from hearth and home to smoldering libido to Miltonian abyss.

And you thought only firemen were closet pyromaniacs…

Third Thursday Reception:
January 15th, 6-9 pm

Gallery Hours:
Fridays and Saturdays, 2-6pm or by appointment.

Gallery Hours:
December 12-20: Fridays and Saturdays, 2-6pm or by appointment.

echo:

new work by Matthew Keller and Charlene Liska

November 7th – 29th

Echoes operate across time as well as space, manifesting as fractured versions of the original. A broken connection is bridged, a communication seeming to come at once from someone we know and from a complete stranger, and we discover something intimate about ourselves the way another person would, meeting us for the first time, true and false impressions treaded together, indissoluble.

Echo is Liska’s response to a very old house with a very complex history.

For Keller, Echo is an exploration of home and memory, the interplay or emotions – discontent, ambivalence, regret, nostalgia – iterated in verbal and visual media. Old familiar objects are broken down and reassembled in ways that can double back on the source, both distorting and enriching. Memory is at once corrupted and purified. Nothing is static.

Opening Reception:
Saturday, November 8th, 6-9 pm

Third Thursday Reception:
November 20th, 6-9 pm

Gallery Hours:
Fridays and Saturdays, 2-6pm or by appointment.

Paper Rock Scissors:

Collaboration by Rick Dorff and Bo Petran

October 4th – 25th

Atlantic Works Gallery is pleased to present a process-oriented collaboration by Rick Dorff and Bo Petran in which Dorff and Petran will carry on an intense dialogue in the spirit of play using a variety of found and scavenged materials and a host of miscellaneous objects, lasting from inception until the show’s last moment. By means of interactive play, including games and mess-making, they will explore how influences such as chance, competition and inspiration can determine their interactive processes and outcomes.

Czech-born Bo Petran uses abstract expressionism as a springboard from which to create site specific installations which make use of non-traditional materials and methods. His interest is in reconfiguring the process of art making and viewing.

Rick Dorff works in the realms of sculpture and installation, shows work at AMP Gallery in Provinetown, MA, and works with the Fort Point Theater Channel, Boston.

Opening Reception:
Saturday, October 4th, 6-9 pm

Third Thursday Reception:
October 18th, 6-9 pm

Gallery Hours:
Fridays and Saturdays, 2-6pm or by appointment.

Numinous: In the Spirit of Things

September 6th – 30th

What does “Numinous” look like? Two Boston visual artists take on the challenge and bring form to this idea in concurrent solo exhibitions. Artists John Kennard and X Bonnie Woods bring us wit, whimsy, and wonder with their two- and three-dimensional works.

Kennard and Woods are long-time colleagues. The theme of these exhibitions allows the two artists to delve into their notions of spirit, wonder, and play.

Woods has shown her works in the U.S. and Germany for many years. Her paintings explore the medium of traditional Japanese inks on paper in map-like conceptual pieces. She has also worked as a documentary photographer. She says of this new exhibition, “Perception and puzzles are the key. I like finding the edges between painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography, and words.“ Her work is in many corporate and academic collections.

Primarily a photographer, John Kennard’s work has been shown at a variety of venues over the years. Kennard says, “In addition to photography, this offering presents works made with materials such as eggshells and tea bags, exploring the spirit of these normally discarded items.”

Opening Reception:
Saturday, September 6th, 6-9 pm

Third Thursday Reception:
September 18th, 6-9 pm

Gallery Hours:
Fridays and Saturdays, 2-6pm or by appointment.
