Get Ready, Set…Flash Forward

For the fourth year, the Magenta Foundation and local organizations will be producing the Flash Forward photography festival in downtown Boston.  With both indoor and outdoor exhibitions throughout the city (including the Photographic Practices show here at the gallery) plus a series of panels and networking events, this weekend is shaping up to be a wonderful celebration of local  talent and creativity.

Like to get the inside scoop? Read up on some of the local organizers including Greer Muldowney with this super article from Lenscratch or watch some of the speakers from past years.

Too shy to try new things without some backup?  Look for some of our friendly faces at Friday’s reception at the Fairmont Battery Wharf and show your support for Atlantic Works artist and Flash Forward 2013 winner, Stephanie Arnett.

Skin

New work by Chris Spuglio and Stephanie Arnett

In SKIN, Atlantic Works veteran Chris Spuglio and newcomer Stephanie Arnett explore the types of identities we choose for ourselves through how we present ourselves to others.  Skin is our  blank human canvas indelibly marked with our life experiences.
Chris Spuglio’s new body of work explores the artistic and technical field of professional tattooing, from traditional to new school design. After a lifetime of painting on traditional surfaces, he now paints on bodies.

According to Stephanie Arnett, “As we become more accustomed to lives integrated with technology, we place more importance on finding ways of differentiating ourselves on the web. For Skin, I’ve been working with both the concept of constructing a curated digital identity as well as experimenting with new material surfaces.”

Exhibition Dates: June 8 – June 30, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday, June 8, 7-10 pm
Third Thursday Gathering: June 21, 7-10 pm
