Zugunruhe: an installation by Rachel
Berwick |
|
Over the past twenty years, Rachel Berwick has focused
our attention on human interactions with the natural
world. Her new installation, Zugunruhe, is a memorial to
the passenger pigeon. Once numbering in the billions,
the species inspired awe in nineteenth-century
naturalists and experienced a rapid decline that brought
it to the edge of extinction by 1900. Two sculptural
works comprise Zugunruhe. In one, a tree is laden with
cast pigeons and encased in an octagon of mirrored,
smoky glass. The pigeons are cast in copal, a form of
amber—the stuff of fossils—and the mirrors commingle
viewer and subject, reinforcing Berwick’s message of our
commonality. The second work focuses on migration. A
glass globe contains a dial that moves in simulation of
migration and points to written reports of passenger
pigeon sightings that are printed on adjacent walls.

Galatea Fine Art
Members’ Small Works |
|
Over fifty artists exhibiting a variety of works include
painting, photography, sculpture and other mediums. The
newest cooperative gallery in the South End, Galatea
Fine Art has juried its broad array of members to bring
a solid spectrum of contemporary art.
December 3–30, 2009
Reception: December 4, 6–8 pm
Sean Palmatier: Mutations & Alice Shafer and
Wilson Hunt, Jr.: Color/Form
Sean Palmatier’s paintings generate form from a
seemingly secret origin, forming interchangeable
gestalts. His work can be described as “non-objective
surrealism”, the forms bordering on the fringe between
suggestion and crystallized reality. Alice Shafer and
Wilson Hunt, Jr. interchange photography and painting to
investigate the interrelation of color in its pure form
as well as its recognizable application.

Currier Museum of Art
From Homer
to Hopper: American Watercolor Masterworks from the
Currier Museum of Art
|
|
Some of America’s most beloved and renowned artists found
inspiration painting in watercolor. Captivated by the
clarity of color and sense of immediacy, artists found
watercolor to be an easily portable medium that could be
used outdoors, for making sketches, or for fully realized
compositions. From Homer to Hopper: American Watercolor
Masterworks from the Currier Museum of Art features
extraordinary works by such masters as Winslow Homer,
Maurice Prendergast, Childe Hassam, Rockwell Kent, Edward
Hopper, Charles Burchfield, and Andrew Wyeth. These
watercolors have not been exhibited as a group for twenty
years because of the fragile nature of the medium.
