SUMMARY:Dirk Adams - the sensation of moving slowly back in time Opening Performance
DESCRIPTION:Dirk Adams – the sensation of moving slowly back in time\nMarch 6 – April 8\, 2017\nDistillery Gallery\n516 E 2nd St\, Boston\, Massachusetts 02127\nOpen: Mon – Sat\, 9:00am – 5:00pm\, and by appointment \nOpening Performance: Friday\, March 10\, 7:00pm\nClosing Performance: Saturday\, April 1\, 3:00pm \nDirk Adams creates work in a variety of media including performance\, sound\, installation\, and video. His work is concerned with language\, memory\, and culture\, and frequently investigates current events\, popular culture\, and politics. \nthe sensation of moving slowly back in time is a presentation of objects\, materials\, and tools that have been created over the past four years in his yarden (yard/garden). The installation and performances in this show represent a point in his explorations of physical processes of materials and investigations into human consciousness\, the slow mutative processes of evolution\, and notions of meaning-making as they relate to cultural production and the idea of humans as brains in bodies in environments\, which comes out of the field of embodied cognition. \nArtist’s websites:\nwww.breathmarks.com\nhttps://soundcloud.com/mrdirky\nhttps://vimeo.com/user1300975\n \n

SUMMARY:STAND UP: Women* You Should Know Artists Salon
DESCRIPTION:STAND UP: Women* You Should Know\nSalon conversation hosted by Silvi Naçi with Furen Dai \nThursday\, March 9\, 2017 | 6:30–8 pm\nMills Gallery at BCA\nFree and Open to the Public \nWe continue the third season of Gertrude’s Artists Salon with a conversation on the topic STAND UP: Women* You Should Know hosted by Silvi Naçi in conversation with video performance artist\, sculptor and linguist Furen Dai. In this conversation we will be exploring the interdependent themes of language and cultural politics and class\, in regards to economic conditions and performance art. With a background in linguistic study\, and working as interpreter for several years in China\, Dai’s practice centers on language and the culture built through it\, reflecting on various forms of interpretation. In her previous work as interpreter\, Dai was often in a position between two cultures attempting to examine where these two cultures met\, overlap and where they differentiate. However\, in her artistic practice\, her voice as artist\, as individual comes through in the interpretation of image making and documentation of both traditional and contemporary cultures in China\, and ultimately giving voice to the women in the cultures she emphasizes in her work. \nFuren Dai is a multimedia artists based in Boston\, Massachusetts\, working mostly in video\, performance\, sculptural installation as well as painting. Dai has presented exhibitions nationally and to a wide range of audience internationally in Italy\, Argentina\, Russia\, China\, Vietnam\, Spain and more. She holds a Masters in Fine Art from The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University (Boston\, Massachusetts) and Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Studio Art\, a Graduate Diploma in Entrepreneurial Management from Boston University School of Management (Boston\, Massachusetts)\, and a Bachelor of Russian from Beijing Foreign Studies University (Beijing\, China). Forthcoming\, Dai is part of the Listhús residency program in Iceland\, along with presenting her work in numerous group exhibitions. She is currently a Graduate Teaching Fellow at School of The Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. \nTo learn more about Furen’s work\, please visit furendai.squarespace.com. \nAbout Silvi Naçi: \nNaçi’s work investigates identity\, family dynamics\, cultural identity\, sex\, class and the consequences of patriarchal power. Naçi\, who was born and raised in Albania (a former communist country)\, engages in the dialectic between the aesthetically beautiful and historical genealogy as well as identity and socio-political structures. Her work is deeply rooted in feminist ideas\, family structures and historical and contemporary social constructs. Naçi works with performance\, photography\, video\, drawing and found historical imagery.

SUMMARY:Book Arts & Alteration in the Age of Omission Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Book Arts & Alteration in the Age of Omission\n\nSaturday March 4\, 2017\, at 3:00pm – 6:00pm\nThe Urbano Project\n29 Germania St Bldg F\, Boston\, Massachusetts 02130 \nJoin Sara Rivera and Denise Delgado for a book arts workshop within Librería Donceles. They have set aside texts from the collection and will lead participants through an interference with these books\, changing them linguistically\, narratively and physically as a way to experiment with ideas and materiality. The language and history of Latin America\, dystopian narratives and mapping processes\, along with other themes\, may emerge from this activity. The end product of the workshop will be a set of sculptural\, altered artist books that will again become part of Librería Donceles\, perhaps to be shelved in an entirely different section than where they started. Co-sponsored by JP Reads and Project Urbano. \n—\nLibros de Artes y Alteración en la Edad de la Omisión\nAcompaña a Sara Rivera y Denise Delgado en el taller sobre libros de artes en la Librería Donceles. Para esta actividad\, Rivera y Delgado han escogido una serie de libros de la colección de esta librería los cuales serán intervenidos por lxs participantes lingüística\, narrativa y físicamente\, como una forma de experimentar con ideas y materialidad. El lenguaje y la historia de América Latina\, las narrativas de distopías\, los procesos de mapeo junto con otros temas\, son algunos de los contenidos que se tratarán en esta actividad. El producto final será una serie de libros de artistas esculturales y alterados que serán otra vez parte de la Librería\, posiblemente en una sección totalmente diferente a la que estuvieron previamente. Organizado en parte por JP Reads.

SUMMARY:Aether Closing Today
DESCRIPTION:Aether\nFebruary 21\, 2017 – March 4\, 2017\nArnheim Gallery\, MassArt\n621 Huntington Ave. Boston\, Massachusetts\nOpen: Monday – Friday\, 10:00am-6:00pm • Saturday\, 11:00am-5:00pm • Sunday\, Closed \nPresenting work by Faith Johnson\, Maria Molteni\, Sue Murad\, Meaghan Schwelm\, and Amber Vistein. Each artists navigates one of the elements – water\, earth\, fire\, or air – connecting conceptually through a fifth element “aether” that contains them all. \nAether combines the cross-disciplinary works of five artists: interactive installation and performance artist\, educator and community artist Faith Johnson; multimedia and performing artist\, educator and organizer\, Maria Molteni; performance\, film\, and interdisciplinary artist Sue Murad; mixed media artist and children’s librarian Meaghan Schwelm and composer and sound artist Amber Vistein. Each artist navigates one of the elements—water\, earth\, fire\, or air—connecting conceptually through a fifth element aether that contains them all. This fifth classical element is said to fill the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. It was considered in the 19th century to permeate all space\, providing a medium through which light could travel. Aether is the quintessence\, or poetic/spiritual confluence\, where all the elements connect\, arching between the physical/material world and the world of the ethereal. \nThese five artists navigate these elements using analog and digital technology along with cross-disciplinary approaches culminating in interactive installations and objects\, smaller-than-small drawings\, videos\, soundscapes\, and performative ephemera. Through these modalities they explore the metaphor\, the mythos\, the science\, and the spirit of the elements that allow us to exist on Earth. With physical components literally born of stardust\, these elements comprise both our physical existence and the ever-shifting individual and collective stories of our experience as human beings. Together these artists explore the magical and mystical\, inner and outer\, fact and fiction\, all embedded within the “technologies” of the natural world. \nFAITH JOHNSON <> MARIA MOLTENI <> SUE MURAD <> MEAGHAN SCHWELM <> AMBER VISTEIN

SUMMARY:Sage Sohier: Witness to Beauty Artist's Reception
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Sage Sohier: Witness to Beauty\nMarch 3\, 2017\, 5:30pm – 8:00pm\nCarroll and Sons Gallery\n450 Harrison Ave. Boston\, MA 02118 \nSage Sohier: Witness to Beauty\nFebruary 15\, 2017 – April 1\, 2017 \nThis is a series about my mother as she ages\, and my relationship with her\, that I began to work on in a concerted way in 2000. For a brief period in her youth\, my mother was a model\, photographed by Richard Avedon and Irving Penn\, and once on the cover of LIFE Magazine. As a child\, I grew up as a witness to her beauty: I used to lie on her bed\, with the dogs\, and watch her try on clothes and study herself critically in the mirror. As I grew older\, there was no use competing with her\, and so I assumed my position\, quite happily\, on the other side of the camera. \nI became even more interested in photographing her when age began to challenge her air of timeless perfection\, making it – to me – all the more poignant (bemused as I’ve been by my own changing face in the mirror). So\, this is about the aging family: how some things never change\, and others\, inevitably\, do. Some of these pictures are re-creations of old family snapshots from my childhood. Most are collaborative\, made on a tripod with a self-timer. -Sage Sohier

SUMMARY:Aether Closing Soon
DESCRIPTION:Aether\nFebruary 21\, 2017 – March 4\, 2017\nArnheim Gallery\, MassArt\n621 Huntington Ave. Boston\, Massachusetts\nOpen: Monday – Friday\, 10:00am-6:00pm • Saturday\, 11:00am-5:00pm • Sunday\, Closed \nPresenting work by Faith Johnson\, Maria Molteni\, Sue Murad\, Meaghan Schwelm\, and Amber Vistein. Each artists navigates one of the elements – water\, earth\, fire\, or air – connecting conceptually through a fifth element “aether” that contains them all. \nAether combines the cross-disciplinary works of five artists: interactive installation and performance artist\, educator and community artist Faith Johnson; multimedia and performing artist\, educator and organizer\, Maria Molteni; performance\, film\, and interdisciplinary artist Sue Murad; mixed media artist and children’s librarian Meaghan Schwelm and composer and sound artist Amber Vistein. Each artist navigates one of the elements—water\, earth\, fire\, or air—connecting conceptually through a fifth element aether that contains them all. This fifth classical element is said to fill the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. It was considered in the 19th century to permeate all space\, providing a medium through which light could travel. Aether is the quintessence\, or poetic/spiritual confluence\, where all the elements connect\, arching between the physical/material world and the world of the ethereal. \nThese five artists navigate these elements using analog and digital technology along with cross-disciplinary approaches culminating in interactive installations and objects\, smaller-than-small drawings\, videos\, soundscapes\, and performative ephemera. Through these modalities they explore the metaphor\, the mythos\, the science\, and the spirit of the elements that allow us to exist on Earth. With physical components literally born of stardust\, these elements comprise both our physical existence and the ever-shifting individual and collective stories of our experience as human beings. Together these artists explore the magical and mystical\, inner and outer\, fact and fiction\, all embedded within the “technologies” of the natural world. \nFAITH JOHNSON <> MARIA MOLTENI <> SUE MURAD <> MEAGHAN SCHWELM <> AMBER VISTEIN

SUMMARY:Diago: The Past of This Afro-Cuban Present
DESCRIPTION:Diago: The Past of This Afro-Cuban Present\nFeb 2 – May 5\, 2017\nCooper Gallery of African and African American Art\nHarvard University\nHours: Tues – Sat\, 10:00am – 5:00pm \nA leading member of the new Afro-Cuban cultural movement\, visual artist Juan Roberto Diago (b 1971) has produced a body of work that offers a revisionist history of the Cuban nation. His “history\,” a term that he frequently inserts in his works using the visual language of graffiti\, contradicts the official narrative of a racially harmonious nation\, created through the selfless efforts of generous white patriots. Diago’s Cuba is a nation built on pain\, rape\, greed\, and the enslavement of millions of displaced Africans\, a nation still grappling with the long-term effects of slavery and colonialism. To him\, slavery is not the past\, but a daily experience of racism and discrimination. Africa is not a root\, but a wellspring of cultural and personal affirmation\, the ancestors that sustain him in his journey. This exhibition examines Diago’s creative work on the course of his entire career. It traces its singular efforts to construct new pasts\, the pasts required to explain the racial tensions of contemporary Cuba\, the pasts of this Afro-Cuban present. \nAs an important member of the new Afro-Cuban cultural movement\, visual artist Juan Roberto Diago (born in 1971) has produced a work that offers a revisionist history of the Cuban nation.

SUMMARY:Private Message Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Private Message\na solo exhibition by Nick Ward\nThomas Young Gallery\nFebruary 9 – April 8\, 2017 \nOpening Reception: \nThursday\, February 9th\, 6–10PM \n  \n \n  \nMixing traditional portraiture with digital artifacts Wards work presents a tactile examination of our digital secrets. The Boston based Oregon native has twice earned the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation grant for painting and his work can be found in Chicago’s Tullman Collecton. \n\nNick Ward // Private Message // Opening Reception: \nJoin us Thursday February 9th from 6 to 10pm for a solo exhibition of new and recent paintings by Boston based artist Nick Ward. \nArtist Statement: \nThis series focuses on the disconnect between our digital\, and real world lives. Since more and more of our time is spent interacting online\, and our photographs are no longer constrained to a single copy\, our images are increasingly subject to misuse by anonymous strangers. This is especially true for young women\, who often find their most private digital moments taking on a life of their own. \nTo create these paintings\, I asked volunteers to photograph themselves\, to create a sexy image that felt like it was only intended for a significant other to see. Once I receive the image\, I crop it so that their face is hidden; so their identity is lost\, and the sexual nature of the photograph takes center stage. Next the image file source code is corrupted. For me\, the resulting image glitch signifies the end of the useful life of this image. The point where an image that has been shared would no longer be forwarded along again. This version of the image is used as reference for the first panel of the painting. \nOnce I have started working on this panel\, the model is asked to visit the studio to sit for a more traditional portrait\, exposing her face and allowing her to reclaim ownership of the image of her body.

SUMMARY:Coded - An Exhibition with Boston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance Reception
DESCRIPTION:Coded – An Exhibition with Boston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance\nJanuary 31 – March 4\, 2017\n \nReception: February 9\, 6:00-8:00 pm\nVanDernoot Gallery\, University Hall\, Lesley University\n1815 Massachusetts Avenue\nCambridge\, Massachusetts 02140 \n\nBoston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance’s latest exhibition Coded will explore the unique role that language has played in queer culture as it has developed and flourished since the 19th century. From the outset\, coded language has allowed connections and communities to form among gender and sexual minorities in the midst of a hostile dominant culture. As queer culture expanded\, shifting and splintering into different subgroups\, slang became a way for GSM-identified people to find others who shared similar interests and ideals within the larger milieu of queer spaces. Today\, as LGBTQIA identities become more accepted and integrated into mainstream society\, language serves as a way to subvert sexist\, transphobic\, heterosexist\, and racist tropes in American popular culture. \nBoston LGBTQIA Artist Alliance is interested in how queer artists engage with language. Works in all media that engage with language indirectly\, metaphorically\, structurally\, digitally\, performative-ly\, etc. were highly encouraged for submission. \nJuror: Danielle Abrams

SUMMARY:Futurefarmers: Errata—Brief Interruptions Opening Reception and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Futurefarmers: Errata—Brief Interruptions\nCarpenter Center for the Visual Arts\nLevel 1 + Level 3\, Sert Gallery\nFeb 9–Apr 9\, 2017 \nOpening Reception\nThu\, Feb 9\, 5:30–7:30 pm\nLevel 1 + Level 3\, Sert Gallery \nPerformance\nDe-Bugging\nThu\, Feb 9\, 6 pm\nLevel 1 \nOver the last two years\, the Futurefarmers collective has envisioned Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts and its surrounding environment as sites for considering material “interruptions.” A series of disruptions in authoritative objects—fingerprint traces in red sidewalk bricks\, erratum slips in library books\, and a literal bug that stopped an historic computer—are elements in the artists’ multimedia projects Erratum Two\, Erratum Three and De-Bugging (all 2017). What would it be to pause with these interruptions in form and meaning\, bringing to them curiosity and wonder? This exhibition presents new works that ask this question\, along with two existing projects by Futurefarmers that are similarly interested in “errors” as prompts for exploratory facture: Erratum: Brief Interruptions in the Waste Stream (2010) and Forging a Nail (2014). \nFuturefarmers\nFuturefarmers is a flexible collective of artists\, researchers\, designers\, architects\, scientists\, and farmers. Artists Amy Franceschini and Michael Swaine form the core partnership for this exhibition. The group shares a common interest in creating frameworks for\, in their words\, “catalyzing moments of uncertainty and confusion in productive and illuminating ways.” The collective has exhibited work at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, Museum of Modern Art\, NY\, Solomon R. Guggenheim\, NY\, MAXXI in Rome\, Italy\, New York Hall of Sciences\, and the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, among other institutions. Franceschini teaches at the California College of the Arts and Swaine teaches at the University of Washington\, Seattle.

SUMMARY:LIBRERÍA DONCELES - PABLO HELGUERA
DESCRIPTION:  \nLIBRERÍA DONCELES\nPablo Helguera\nUrbano Project\nJanuary 13 – March 31\, 2017 \nHours:\nMonday – Friday\, 1 – 6pm\,\nOr by appointment \n \n  \nLibrería Donceles a socially engaged art project consisting of an itinerant bookstore of more than 10\,000 used books in Spanish. The participatory art installation is a meeting place for the community\, hosting a series of bilingual salon-like gatherings for conversations\, performances and workshops designed to encourage cultural understanding\, tolerance\, and social activism. \nCreated by New York-based artist and educator Pablo Helguera out of a desire to address the lack of literary outlets that serve the growing Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States. Taking its name from the historic street\, Calle Donceles\, in Mexico City that is lined with used bookstores\, the installation premiered in Brooklyn\, NY in 2013 and has since traveled to Phoenix\, San Francisco\, Seattle\, Chicago\, and Indianapolis. Boston was the bookstore’s last stop! Librería Donceles has been the sole Spanish-language bookstore in every city it has occupied. There are millions of Spanish speakers in the US and yet a scarcity of books in Spanish. \nPart functioning bookstore and part participatory installation\, Librería Donceles confronts the very tangible implications of particular social dynamics\, revealing social structures that exist within plain sight\, while powerfully advocating for equity through the physical presence of a bookstore.  The situation has been made more critical by rapid transformations in publishing\, with the rise of e-books and the demise of bookstores of all sorts.\n— \n‘The only librería in town\,’ Boston Globe\, (January 11\, 2017)

SUMMARY:Vitreous Bodies: Assembled Visions in Glass
DESCRIPTION:MassArt’s Bakalar & Paine Galleries present: \nVitreous Bodies: Assembled Visions in Glass\nOn view January 23 – March 4\, 2017\nFree and open to the public \nVitreous Bodies: Assembled Visions in Glass offers a look into and a reflection of life through a contemporary glass lens. Curated by Bakalar & Paine Galleries Director Lisa Tung\, this is the first exhibition to showcase only glass artwork in the Galleries’ 30-year history. Visions in Glass features 13 mid-career to established multidisciplinary artists using glass to create site-specific installations that are composed of multiple components. The works on view in this exhibition also demonstrate the variety of techniques and approaches contemporary artists are using to manipulate the medium\, such as traditional glassblowing\, casting\, and flameworking. \nTraditionally utilitarian as vessel\, window\, mirror\, or sculpture\, glass is no longer relegated to merely the functional or craft realms\, but rather is utilized as a limitless and expressive material for artists to create multilayered work as evidenced in Vitreous Bodies: Assembled Visions in Glass. With its historical ties to architecture\, decorative arts\, and sculpture\, this fluid medium has attracted many of today’s artists to create conceptual work that reflects our times. It is prescient that so many prominent contemporary artists are all including and experimenting with glass as part of their body of work—confirming the power of this timeless material. \nPlan Your Visit:\nHours\nMonday through Saturday 12 – 6pm\nWednesdays 12 – 8 pm\n(closed Sundays)\nFree and open to the public \nLocation\nMassArt\, 621 Huntington Avenue (Avenue of the Arts)\, Boston\nEnter through the Design and Media Center \nPublic Transportation\nMBTA Green Line E Train (Longwood Medical Area stop)\nRoute 39 MBTA bus (Huntington Ave @ Longwood Ave stop)

SUMMARY:Not of This Earth: Contemporary Art and Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Not of This Earth: Contemporary Art and Science Fiction is an exhibition featuring artworks that explore the prevalent themes in Science Fiction. Most famous Science Fiction books and movies\, such as 1984 and Bladerunner\, depict dystopian futures that raise questions about the potential dangers of unhindered technological advancement. \nThe artworks in the Not of This Earth exhibit invite the viewer into an emotional meditation on the loneliness of the harsh dystopian environments presented in Science Fiction. Surprisingly\, however\, many of the artworks in this exhibit are gorgeous pieces to look at\, rather than being dark or bleak evocations of society’s doom. \nThe exhibition includes film\, sculpture\, and print artworks\, yet it is the 3D video pieces that are especially compelling. These videos\, two large projections\, and two viewed on monitors with headphones immerse the viewer into paradoxically beautiful\, yet desolate worlds. \nMichael Lewy’s Bigfoot Island is a 3D video piece in this exhibit that balances these two worlds in an especially complex combination of playfulness\, beauty\, and charm. Lewy was inspired to create this video based on his childhood memories of watching 80’s Science Fiction TV shows. Small\, incomplete clips of these shows stuck with him\, and a result Bigfoot Island presents a colorful video memory collage in the tone of Science Fiction’s bygone aesthetic of childlike fantasy. Watching the ebb and flow of the beautiful\, somber scenes in Bigfoot Island serves as a reminder of the ability of Science Fiction to inspire renewed hope for beauty and innocence. \nFind your way to the Boston Cyberarts Gallery\, located in the Green St. T stop (141 Green St.\, Jamaica Plain\, MA 02130) to see this exhibit before it ends on February 26\, 2017. \nThe gallery is open every Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday from 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm. \n  \nMaryam Yoon

SUMMARY:thick'ums
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception\nFriday\, Aug 5th\n7-9PM\n\nGallery Dates\nAug 5th – Sep 21st \n““What is left when you’re too brown\, too femme\, too queer for the bears? When that was your only resort? When—even in radical queer of color spaces—thin\, masculine\, cis\, non-disabled male bodies are preferential?” \n“thick’ums”\, an installation presented by Boston-based artist Noèl Puèllo (pronouns: she\, her\, hers)\, celebrates QPOC intimacy\, self-care\, and body acceptance. As an artist who strives to spark conversation and create spaces of healing and reflection\, Noèl wants to open the stage for a viewing of fear\, anger\, intimacy\, self-care\, and reconceptualized beauty. \n“I think QPOC and POC bodies are in need of love\, spaces to heal\, and spaces of reflection. My work has been the sole space of healing\, of my reflection\, and of my growth.”” More here.

Working through forms of invisibility produced at this intersection\, these artists have developed different understandings of the labels most often meant to correct such an invisibility: “Disabled\,” “Queer\,” “Artist.”” \nFeaturing: Xray Aims\, Lauren Alindogan\, Joe Balestraci\, Darren Black\, Carl Bowlby\, Steven Cabral\, Ken Diaz\, Ariel Bassen Freiberg\, Catherine Graffam\, YoAhn Han\, Madge of Honor\, Heather Kapplow\, LB Lee\, Kyri Lorenz\, Terrell Lowry\, Chris Maliga\, Daniel Lloyd-Miller\, Ty Muto\, Rose Ranauro\, Sopheak Sam\, Sasha Seaman\, Cai Steele and Courtney White.

SUMMARY:Susan Carr: How to do Art
DESCRIPTION:July 16 – September 11\, 2016\nOpening reception: August 5\, 5-9pm\n“How’s Howard? is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Susan Carr. “How to do Art” consists of six small-scaled constructed paintings and five moderately scaled mixed media works on paper. Although there is not much more to the construction of these paintings than old scrapes of wood\, rope\, oil paint and remnants of fabric\, there is an unspeakable richness of gesture and color. Carr’s contemplative process is revealed in her written instructions\, titled “How to do Art”\, which generated the title of the show. In this\, we come to find out how each work embodies such a complicated and vibrant history. With a limited focus of materials\, Carr finds a deeply personal and expansive response to life’s disarray.” More here.

SUMMARY:Mirror Stage: New works by Molly McIntyre
DESCRIPTION:Aug 4 – Oct 2 \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, August 4th from 6-8pm \n“These new cut-outs reflect on the nature of friendships\, in particular those friendships from which we seek affirmation of our own identities. The mirror stage\, as defined by Jacques Lacan\, is literally the stage when a baby first recognizes themself in the mirror\, but it also extends throughout our lives. Lacan says that the mirror stage creates a duality because the whole-ness of the image in the mirror is in opposition to the fragmentary nature of the self. This creates the ego and alienates the subject from the self.  Many of us became noticeably alienated from ourselves as teenagers when our bodies betrayed us by changing without our permission and we were suddenly asked to identify as a new self. I am interested in the ways that friends become our mirrors\, inviting us back to a reality where we feel comfortable in our skins. As friends\, we repeatedly affirm each other’s presentation choices\, either verbally or by echoing them in our own choices. Of course\, this has the danger to become oppressive conformity. But with a close friend\, who you know in all their messy fragmented selfhood\, it’s like you’re both in on the joke of “wholeness” and it is a delight to present that face to each other and to the world\, together. ” more here. \n
