SUMMARY:Artist Kit Collins's Ongoing Mural Capturing the Faces of Harvard Square
DESCRIPTION:This week\, local artist Kit Collins will be live painting a Where’s Waldo-style mural at Spaceus Brattle\, an artists’ workspace/gallery in Harvard Square where Collins is a member. From the 14th until the 16th\, Kit will be painting members of the public into her growing mural. Each figure is executed in Collins’s quirky style that captures characters’ unique personalities as figures intermingle and interact with one another. What’s cool about this project is that it captures and monumentalizes the different communities we belong to: at Spaceus\, within Harvard Square\, and in the larger Boston art scene. \nTo fund the project\, Spaceus is hosting $25 portrait sessions this week –  those who wish to be painted can either drop-in at 20 Brattle Street or sign up online. \n  \nFor more info on Kit Collins: \nInstagram: @kitschcollins \nWebsite: https://www.kitschcollins.com/ \nFor more info on Spaceus: \nInstagram: @spaceus.co \nWebsite: https://spaceus.co/ \n

SUMMARY:Your New {Cosmic} Reality - Light Works by Ben K Foley
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception Saturday May 26th\, 6-9pm\nGallery hours Saturdays and Sundays 12-6pm\nClosing reception Friday June 29th\, 6-9pm \nBen K Foley creates mind-bending 3-dimensional illusions using a wide range of recycled and repurposed industrial materials. Analog creations cleverly constructed to move viewers in an overwhelmingly digital world\, these simple sculptures create complex interactive visual experiences\, often referencing aspects of Zen\, numerology\, and universal patterns in math and nature. These expressions encourage play and wonder deep within ones perception of space and time. \nCurrently working in and outside Boston\, Ben K Foley has shown work in galleries and museums in the US and Europe\, and is honored to have been granted residencies and opportunities for permanent installations both domestically and abroad. BKF’s unique practice as a kinetic light artist began while studying architecture and drafting at Colorado College. He is an affiliate with Collision Collective out of MIT\, a founding member of the CartoonLife crew\, as well as former administrator of DAP.

SUMMARY:Ceramic Protest Signs Ongoing Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:CCVA summer Display Case exhibition CCC (Ceramics Club Cambridge)\nMay 18 – Sep 17\, 2017\nLevel 0\, Display Case\nGallery Hours:\n12pm–6pm Thu–Sun\nFree\, Open to the public \nWhy make ceramic protest signs? Because we will be protesting these things for a long time to come….This proposition informs the CCVA summer Display Case exhibition CCC (Ceramics Club Cambridge) featuring an installation of objects and signage created by open ceramic sessions with 2017 Josep Lluis Sert Practitioner Trisha Baga. Open to students and the general public at the Ceramics Program\, Office for the Arts at Harvard\, the workshop began with a prompt to make what one wished to see in the world. Baga continued to ask participants to use clay to think through the current political climate and potential futures. The CCVA Display Case\, arranged by the artist\, is an amalgamation of this material\, alongside Baga’s own work in clay and video\, and presented as a free-associative visual field by which the hierarchies of text and image are redefined. \nThe program was an off-shoot of the New York-based\, Ceramics Club or CC\, a loose artists’ organization\, founded by Baga and artist Pam Lins. Since 2011\, CC uses ceramics as a way to socially interact\, make material\, collaborate\, and see what happens from there. The group models itself on propositions gleaned from amateur “clubs” that organized in the interest of dismantling and opposing professionalism\, as well as withdrawing distinctions regarding quality\, institutions\, and representations. Since its inception\, the group has met and been generously supported by Greenwich House Pottery in the West Village. \nIn the spirit of Ceramic Club\, the artwork on view showcases a long list of artists who participated in the project and is meant as a collaboration between Baga and the participants work. \nTrisha Baga \nBaga is best known for immersive installations that project video through fields of hand-wrought objects that consider the operations of looking as an embodied experience. Her work follows the aggregate and distracted logic of internet browsing and scanning\, fusing screen and space in a scattered yet fluid gestures. \nBaga was born in Venice\, Florida in 1985 and lives and works in New York. She received her BFA at Cooper Union in 2007 and her MFA at Bard College in 2010. She has had solo exhibitions at 359 Mission\, Los Angeles\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York\, Vilma Gold Gallery\, London\, and the Kunstverein Munich\, and has shown her work at Greene Naftali Gallery\, EAI\, PS1\, Johann Koenig Gallery\, Performa09\, The Housatonic Museum\, LAXART\, and El Centro Cultural Montehermoso. \nJosep Lluis Sert Practitioner in the Arts \nThe Josep Lluis Sert Practitioner is an annual invitation to a distinguished artist to spend several days in residence at the Carpenter Center\, engaged with students and other members of the academic community in a variety of possible activities. Founded in 1986 the program is supported by a generous gift of the late Robert Gardner\, former director of the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts\, director of the Film Study Center\, and chair of the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies. The residency includes both close engagement with a small group of students (acting in a collaborative way) and also some occasion open to a larger invited group of faculty\, students\, and the general public. This larger occasion includes a lecture-demonstration\, talk\, or rehearsal-performance\, depending on both the art and practices involved\, and the wishes of the Practitioner.

SUMMARY:Brendan Killian Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Brendan Killian\nJune 15-July 15\nThe Gallery at The Gate\nMonday – Sunday 11:30 am – 1:00 am\n \n\nArtist’s Statement: \nI began painting sheep 20 years ago during an artist’s residency in Vermont. This work marked a huge departure\, inspired by both the pastoral setting as well as the changes I was experiencing on a personal level. Although I’ve moved on to other subject matter since\, (horses\, rabbits and various other real and imagined beastie’s)\, like a Shepard\, the sheep have continued to lure me back\, and I always feel obliged to answer they’re call. In a general sense\, the sheep serve as a visual metaphor to explore issues of sacrifice and spiritual transformation\, not unlike their role in Christian iconography. On a more personal level\, they embody a faith in the future\, hence my choice of title. “Response”. I’m also fascinated by they’re integral role in Irish/Scottish/Celtic culture\, and in turn my own heritage. \n\nBrendan Killian received a BFA from Iowa State University in 1984. He moved to Jamaica Plain in 1985 and has been living and exhibiting His artwork throughout New England since. Local solo show’s include “The Copley Society of Boston”\, “The Perrin Gallery”\, “The Hallway Gallery”\, “JP Artmarket”\, “The Alchemist”\, “Centre Street Café”\, “James’s Gate”\, “A Far Cry”\, “The Gallery @ Green Street” “The Plum Gallery” in Williamstown MA. And “Vermont Studio Center” in Johnson VT. He currently exhibits his work at “The Haven” in Jamaica Plain. \nContact:\nwww.brendankillianfineart.com\nbrendankillian62@gmail.com \nThe Gate\n3171 Washington Street\nJamaica Plain\, MA 02130 \n

SUMMARY:The Border Line Tunnel Augmented Reality Murals
DESCRIPTION:The Borderline is a project running from March to May. It will cover a 200ft long wall under the campus of MIT with murals and magic. \nThe tunnel in question runs directly underneath Vassar St.\, connecting buildings 66 and E17. It is a tunnel commonly used by students throughout winter\, or in particularly nasty weather. It’s always been seen as a useful connection to get from point A to point B. Through Borderline\, we hope to transform this tunnel into a destination. \nThe murals have been dreamed up by over twenty-five MIT-affiliated artists. Artists will be painting murals throughout the duration of the project. The goal is to have one large\, woven-together mural by May. \nThe magic comes in the form of augmented reality. Murals will have an AR integrated component that can be accessed by viewers through a mobile phone app. \n  \n\n  \nThis project is funded by Council of the Arts. Special thanks to Sam Magee.

SUMMARY:Vibrations: A Sound Experience Closing
DESCRIPTION:Vibrations: A Sound Experience\nBoston Cyberarts Gallery\nHours:\nFri\, Sat\, Sun 12:00 – 6:00 pm \n \n\nVibrations: A Sound Experience is an interactive sound exhibition with work by MJ Caselden and Derek Hoffend. Consisting of artwork that utilizes sound\, vibrations\, and magnetism\, the exhibition explores the potential for achieving alternate modes of consciousness through art experiences\, while considering both art and the exhibition space as transformational tools lending the viewer the ability to abandon consciousness in order to achieve a measure of transcendence. \nBoth artists are influenced by the therapeutic properties discernible in sound and employ meditative concepts to inform their work. Drawing from the sound philosophy of somaesthetics and the illusory properties of binaural beats\, the sound pieces in this exhibition are distinctively physical and require bodily interaction from the viewer. The unconscious mind\, identified by the father of psychoanalysis\, Sigmund Freud\, in the 1900s\, supposes that there are hidden thoughts and emotions that can not be deliberately accessed. This exhibition consists of work designed to express the idea that one is able to access that concealed metaphysical space\, providing the viewer with the ability to access inner knowledge and unfiltered perception. \nAbout the Artists: \nMJ Caselden: I am a sound artist and inventor. I lead a design firm in New York City dedicated to prototyping and innovative use of technology\, helping artists and tech companies realize new ideas. \nMy artwork often explores ritualized listening\, offered as guided group sound meditations\, or as sound-generating sculpture. Resonating sculptures surround listeners\, creating immersive listening spaces for self-reflection and contemplation. \nRecent exhibitions showcase a new invention I call “Magnetic Sound”\, sculptures that use varying magnetic fields to induce vibrations in metal and wood. I work with this magnetic energy to create repetitive\, mantra-like vibrations conducive to deep listening and meditation. \nI’ve been exploring integration of these meditative sounds with lifestyle\, releasing sculptures for other people to develop their own at-home sound experiences. As the project continues to grow\, we are also experimenting with teachers from long-standing healing arts practices such as Asana Yoga\, Tibetan Tummo breathwork\, acupuncture\, and Ch’an meditation. \nThe Magnetic Sound project has grown to include collaboration with tech companies such as Intel\, and been featured in art\, meditation\, and retreat spaces around the world including the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum\, and Times Square. For more information\, visit www.magneticsound.com \nThe Magnetic Sound project is made possible with the support of Harvestworks Digital Media Arts Center\, Canon Inc.\, D.S. Solidworks Corp.\, Intel Inc.\, NEW INC\, Mombucha Kombucha\, and The New York State Council on Arts. \nDerek Hoffend: My work is characterized by installations that combine sculptural forms with sound and interactive experiences. Pieces explore the intersection of sound as a medium with sculptural forms and structures\, as well as light\, sites\, spaces\, and the human body to create immersive and participatory experiences for viewers\, employing sonic\, electronic\, and physical media.  Works are often interactive and invite participation through touch or motion\, exploring cause-and-effect relationships of viewer action within reactive systems\, as well as personal and social dynamics found in play and collaboration. \nRecent work explores an interest in facilitating somatosensory responses\, therapeutic experiences\, and shifts in consciousness via direct viewer participation. I am particularly interested in works that create a space where scientific and metaphysical ideas can cohabitate\, creating a bridge between the physical and supernatural\, and inviting the potential for interplay between sensory and spiritual experiences. \nTo this end\, I am inspired by and employ a variety of processes and theories in my work such as vibro-acoustics for haptic experience\, entrainment theory (rhythmic\, biomusical\, and neural)\, acoustic phenomena such as monaural and binaural beating\, and components of sound therapy\, sacred-geometry\, and color therapy. Biofeedback principles and techniques are also employed such as using heart-rate monitors to trigger external events in the form of sound and light feedback. \nMy music practice includes recording and performing electronic music under the moniker Aether Chroma as well as my own name. Live performance works have varied between collaborative electro-acoustic improvisation\, solo immersive soundscape journeys\, and beat-driven electronica working extensively with digital and analog synthesis\, software such as Max/MSP\, hand-made circuits\, field-recordings\, and modular synthesizers. \nWorks have been performed or exhibited at Mobius Artist Space (Boston/Cambridge\, MA)\, IBM (Cambridge\, MA)\, Microsoft Start-up Labs (Cambridge\, MA)\, the Distillery Gallery (South Boston\, MA)\, Studio Soto (Boston\, MA)\, Union Square (Somerville\, MA)\, The Enormous Room (Cambridge\, MA)\, sQuareone Studio (Boston\, MA)\, 90.3 WZBC (Boston\, MA)\, Wesleyan University (Middletown\, CT)\, Sonotheque (Chicago\, IL)\, the Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago\, IL)\, Athenaeum Theater\, (Chicago\, IL)\, and Consolidated Works (Seattle\, WA). \n~~~ Hoffend holds a MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Art and Technology (2004)\, a MA from New York University in Studio Art (2001)\, and a dual-major BFA from the State University of New York at Fredonia in Sculpture and Photography (1997). He is currently Associate Faculty of Interactive Media at Becker College in Worcester\, MA\, and Adjunct Faculty in Animation at Massachusetts College of Art in Boston\, MA. He lives and maintains a studio in Boston\, MA. \n

SUMMARY:Ambreen Butt: I Need a Hero Closing
DESCRIPTION:Ambreen Butt is the ninth Artist-in-Residence to create a temporary site-specific work for the Museum’s façade. Trained as a miniature painter in Lahore\, Pakistan\, Ambreen uses the dramatic imagery and storytelling of this traditional art form to comment on contemporary issues. \nThis piece is part of the series she calls I Need a Hero\, which was initially inspired by the story of the young Pakistani woman Mukhtar Mai. In 2002\, Mai was brutally raped by order of her village tribal council as punishment for speaking out against archaic codes of justice. Refusing to be silenced\, Mai became a spokesperson for women’s rights in Pakistan\, eventually starting two schools for girls and a crisis center for abused women. \nThe stories in the I Need a Hero series explore the ways women struggle to find and use their own power. In the Gardner façade piece\, the heroine fights a dragon (below) and a monkey-like creature (above) that may represent her inner and outer demons: her confident pose suggests she will conquer them both. The struggle takes place against the background of a dollar bill\, a reminder of today’s global economy. Other young women look at her expectantly from below and above\, as if to ask: Is she the one? Is she is our hero? Taking center stage\, she must now live up to expectations. As you look more closely\, see what other ideas and interpretations you can find.

SUMMARY:2017 the James and Audrey Foster Prize Ongoing Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The James and Audrey Foster Prize is key to the ICA’s efforts to nurture and recognize Boston-area artists of exceptional promise. First established in 1999\, the James and Audrey Foster Prize (formerly the ICA Artist Prize) expanded its format when the museum opened its new facility in 2006. James and Audrey Foster\, passionate collectors and supporters of contemporary art\, endowed the prize\, ensuring the ICA’s ability to sustain and grow the program for years to come. \nThe 2017 prize and exhibition will feature the work of Sonia Almeida\, Jennifer Bornstein\, Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel\, and Lucy Kim—artists working at a national and international level whose work has received limited exposure here in Boston. In media including painting\, sculpture\, printmaking\, film\, and video\, and exploring a range of themes and subjects\, each of the artists engage the human body with a tactile approach to its cultural\, psychological\, and historical resonances. Each of the artists will present a major work\, or group of works\, on view for the first time in Boston. \nCentral to the exhibition\, this iteration of the James and Audrey Foster Prize features a new program\, The Foster Talks\, enabling audiences to engage more deeply in the work and practice of the Prize winners. Over the course of the exhibition\, each artist will present their work and invite an important writer\, artist\, performer\, researcher\, or other cultural producer who has influenced their artwork\, or whose own work resonates with the artist’s. The conversations will be followed by a free reception\, open to the public. The Foster Talks will connect questions around contemporary art to a broad range of cultural\, intellectual\, and political issues\, creating relationships between art and different fields. \n2017 the James and Audrey Foster Prize is on view February 15 – July 9\, 2017. \nTuesday + Wednesday: 10 AM – 5 PM\nThursday + Friday: 10 AM – 9 PM\nSaturday + Sunday: 10 AM – 5 PM \nAdmission is FREE for all every Thursday from 5 to 9 PM during ICA Free Thursday Nights.

SUMMARY:An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art Ongoing Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art\nMIT List Visual Arts Center\nMay 19\, 2017–July 16\, 2017 \nAn Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art brings together a group of twelve international artists to examine the recent multidisciplinary turn towards affect by focusing on artworks that explore how bodies are shaped\, modified\, or affected by the intensity of their interaction. Many contemporary artists engage with modes of address and content that are tethered to affect yet eschew sentimentality and expressivity. The exhibition presents works that variously investigate our intimate relationships with objects; works that act as vehicles for affective engagement or transactions of desire\, including objects that carry the traces of things we can’t see but have to trust\, intuit\, or perceive in ways that are not related to vision or hearing; and works that are engaged with actions of interpersonal care\, trust\, intimacy\, or love. \nArtists included are Andrea Büttner\, Sophie Calle\, Alejandro Cesarco\, Jason Dodge\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Antonia Hirsch\, Jill Magid\, Park McArthur\, Lisa Tan\, Erika Vogt\, Susanne M. Winterling\, and Anicka Yi. \nAn Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art is curated by Henriette Huldisch\, Curator\, MIT List Visual Arts Center. The exhibition is accompanied by a 96-page fully illustrated catalogue published by Prestel/DelMonico in association with the MIT List Visual Arts Center. Edited by Henriette Huldisch\, the catalogue features essay contributions by Eugenie Brinkema (Associate Professor\, Literature Section\, MIT)\, Johanna Burton (Director and Curator of Education and Public Engagement at the New Museum)\, and Emily Watlington (Curatorial Research Assistant\, MIT List Visual Arts Center and graduate student\, History\, Theory and Criticism of Art and Architecture\, MIT). \nRegular hours: Tues.\, Wed.\, Fri.\, Sat.\, Sun.\, 12-6pm; Thurs.\, 12-8pm\nClosed Mondays\, and major holidays.

SUMMARY:Botticelli and the Search for the Divine Ongoing Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps more than any other painter\, Sandro Botticelli (about 1445–1510) exemplifies the artistic achievement of Renaissance Florence in the 15th century. “Botticelli and the Search for the Divine\,” organized by the Muscarelle Museum of Art at the College of William & Mary and Italy’s Metamorfosi Associazione Culturale\, explores the dramatic changes in the artist’s style and subject matter—from poetic depictions of classical gods and goddesses to austere sacred themes—reflecting the shifting political and religious climate of Florence during his lifetime. \nAt the height of his career\, Botticelli was supported by the powerful Medici family\, headed by Lorenzo the Magnificent. Botticelli’s instantly recognizable style\, characterized by strong contours\, lyrical poses\, and transparent flowing drapery\, was influenced both by Antique models and the courtly preferences of his patrons. Two paintings from this period on view in the exhibition\, Minerva and the Centaur (1481\, Uffizi\, Florence) and Venus (about 1490\, Galleria Sabauda\, Turin)—Botticelli’s reworking of his famous Birth of Venus—are life-size and display the painter’s skill in depicting elegant figures from classical mythology. \nIn his later years\, Botticelli became a follower of the stern Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola\, who by 1494 had established a theocracy in Florence following the exile of the Medici family. Personal conduct came under harsh scrutiny\, and in 1497 all manner of worldly goods—including cosmetics\, mirrors\, fancy clothing\, musical instruments\, and paintings with nudes and pagan subjects—were burned in a notorious “Bonfire of the Vanities.” Under Savonarola’s sway\, Botticelli’s graceful manner gave way to a newly austere approach\, and secular subject matter disappeared. Severe religious paintings dominate the artist’s later production\, and such moving masterpieces as the Virgin and Child with the Young Saint John (about 1495\, Galleria Palatina\, Palazzo Pitti\, Florence) demonstrate the striking departure from his earlier sweet style. The exhibition also includes paintings by Botticelli’s teacher Filippo Lippi\, his student Filippino Lippi\, and other contemporaries. \nThe exhibition\, the largest and most important display of Botticelli’s works in the United States\, features 24 paintings from international lenders and the MFA’s own Virgin and Child with Saint John the Baptist (about 1500) as well as important loans from Harvard and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. \nThe exhibition is on view April 15 – July 9\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Listen Hear: The Art of Sound Ongoing Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Of the five senses\, sight seems to dominate our contemporary life\, with its overload of visual stimuli from advertising to artworks. But hearing is a close second. Listen Hear: The Art of Sound explores some of the ways sound affects our environment\, our bodies\, and our state of mind. \nListen Hear: The Art of Sound is a group exhibition featuring seven sound works in the Gardner and two off-site pieces of public art. Spread across both the Gardner’s historic and new buildings\, the works demonstrate the rich variety of this contemporary medium. The two public art pieces outside the Museum offer new ways to experience the city of Boston. Fens (a downloadable app) is an immersive listening walk in a nearby park\, while Harmonic Conduit live-streams from city streets around the Ruggles T station. \nSound in general\, and especially music\, was important to Isabella Stewart Gardner. Throughout her life she supported musicians and composers\, organized musical evenings for her friends\, and regularly attended other concerts. Gardner understood that sound plays a critical role in creating a sense of place\, and installed fountains in and around the Courtyard to make sound a permanent feature of her Museum. \nListen Hear is a different kind of museum experience\, offering new insights into the spatial\, social\, and aesthetic dimension of sound. \nListen Hear: The Art of Sound is on view from March 8 – September 5\, 2017.

SUMMARY:Darkness Made Visible: Derek Jarman and Mark Bradford Ongoing Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition pairs Derek Jarman’s final feature-length film Blue (1993) with Mark Bradford’s video installation Spiderman (2015)—both riveting first-person accounts of the AIDS crisis that are distinctly subjective\, lyrical\, humorous\, and dark. Through imageless projection and bold voiceovers\, they both expose and defy the forces that have marginalized queer bodies since the 1980s. \nBest known for directing dozens of films\, documentary shorts\, music videos\, and experimental features\, Derek Jarman (1942–1994\, based in London) was a white artist outspoken about HIV awareness who completed Blue the year before his death from AIDS-related complications. Projecting a static screen of French artist Yves Klein’s patented blue hue\, the film is narrated by Jarman\, as well as actors Nigel Terry\, John Quentin\, and Tilda Swinton. The script includes Jarman’s diary-based comments on his terminal illness\, his fading eyesight\, and the meaning of the color blue as “darkness made visible.” \nSuch personal commentary also forms the basis of Spiderman\, a recent MFA acquisition\, in which Mark Bradford (born 1961\, based in Los Angeles) takes on the role of a black transgender comic who is heard\, but not seen in a room with a red spotlight. As a gay black man\, Bradford evokes comedian Eddie Murphy’s controversial Delirious routine from 1983\, which is rife with explicitly homophobic jokes\, to deliver a searing monologue on the intersecting issues of race\, gender identity\, and sexuality. \nSeen together for the first time\, Blue and Spiderman enact defiant emotional responses that channel both the personal fears and public phobias associated with the AIDS crisis. \nScreenings of Blue begin each day at 10:15 and 11:30 am\, 12:45\, 2\, and 3:15 pm. Additional screenings Wednesday through Friday beginning at 4\, 5:15\, 7\, and 8:15 pm. \nDarkness Made Visible: Derek Jarman and Mark Bradford is on view until July 30\, 2017.

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:Listen Hear: The Art of Sound
DESCRIPTION:Listen Hear: The Art of Sound\nMarch 8 – September 5\, 2017\nIsabella Stewart Gardner Museum\n25 Evans Way Boston\, MA 02115 \n \nOf the five senses\, sight seems to dominate our contemporary life\, with its overload of visual stimuli from advertising to artworks. But hearing is a close second. Listen Hear: The Art of Sound explores some of the ways sound affects our environment\, our bodies\, and our state of mind. \nListen Hear: The Art of Sound is a group exhibition featuring seven sound works in the Gardner and two off-site pieces of public art. Spread across both the Gardner’s historic and new buildings\, the works demonstrate the rich variety of this contemporary medium. The two public art pieces outside the Museum offer new ways to experience the city of Boston. Fens (a downloadable app) is an immersive listening walk in a nearby park\, while Harmonic Conduit live-streams from city streets around the Ruggles T station. \nSound in general\, and especially music\, was important to Isabella Stewart Gardner. Throughout her life she supported musicians and composers\, organized musical evenings for her friends\, and regularly attended other concerts. Gardner understood that sound plays a critical role in creating a sense of place\, and installed fountains in and around the Courtyard to make sound a permanent feature of her Museum. \nListen Hear is a different kind of museum experience\, offering new insights into the spatial\, social\, and aesthetic dimension of sound. \nHours\nMonday: 11 am–5 pm\nTuesday: Closed\nWednesday: 11 am–5 pm\nThursday: 11 am–9pm\nFriday: 11 am–5 pm\nSaturday: 11 am–5 pm\nSunday: 11 am–5 pm \nAdmissions\nAdults: $15\nSeniors 65 and up: $12\nCollege Students: $5 with current ID \n\nSu-Mei Tse (Luxembourgian\, b. 1973)\nin collaboration with Jean-Lou Majerus\nSound for Insomniacs\, 2007\nFive lambda digital prints on semi-glossy photo paper\, two stools with integrated MP3 players\, screens\, and headphones \nAbout the work:\nFive cats portrayed in a close up take on very human expressions. Listening to the sonic vibrations of their purrs reveals the startling individuality of each cat\, and it is an invitation to listen deeply beyond ourselves to nature and to the nuances of wordless communication. \nAbout the Artist:\nSu-Mei Tse is a musician and artist whose work often combines visual and sound components. \n\nPhilippe Rahm (Swiss\, b. 1967)\nin collaboration with composer Sebastian Rivas\nSublimated Music\, 2014-2017\nMulti-channel sound piece; Work produced for the 2014 Open Museum Open City exhibition. MAXXI Museum Collection\, Rome. \nAbout the work:\nAn immersive soundscape of sound and light. Shattering the melody of a piece of music by Claude Debussy into a burst of notes gives a new understanding of the power of sound to shape our sense of gallery space. \nAbout the Artist:\nPhilippe Rahm is a principal in Philippe Rahm architectes based in Paris\, France. His design approach is based on the dissociation of ideas: to deconstruct the “whole” into its elements\, and then to recompose it according to a new hierarchy of priorities and needs. \n\nHelen Mirra (American\, b. 1970)\nErnst Karel (American\, b.1970)\nMunicipals\, 2017\nSix-channel audio piece\nOn view Fridays only \nAbout the work:\nTo create this sonic portrait of Boston\, Karel made quadraphonic recordings in three kinds of public places: branches of the Boston Public Library\, Boston City Hall\, and designated urban wilds. At each site\, Helen Mirra plays various small instruments: echo harmonica (libraries)\, morchang (urban wilds) and wood block. Complementing this primary material are recordings from a performance on orchestral bass drum\, tom and snare by Mirra in Boston’s acoustically remarkable Cyclorama. \nAbout the Artists:\nHelen Mirra is a conceptual artist who explores the relationship between the natural world and the everyday lives of the people who live in it.\nErnst Karel makes experimental nonfiction sound works for multichannel installation and performance. He teaches sonic ethnography at Harvard University. \n\nLee Mingwei (Taiwanese\, b. 1964)\nSmall Conversation\, 2017\nMulti-channel sound piece \nAbout the work:\nA subtle soundscape composed of insect sounds and amphibian night calls. Intending to heighten our awareness of the Museum Courtyard installation and to reveal how often natural sounds are neglected or drowned out by human noise. \nAbout the Artist:\nParis-based Lee Mingwei is known for participatory installations that explore issues of trust\, intimacy and social connection. The artist invites you to sit around the courtyard and listen to a soundscape that blurs the distinction between inside and outside\, nature and artifice. \n\nPhilip Beesley (English\, b. 1956)\nSentient Veil\, 2017\nFabric\, LED lights\, glass\, acoustic resonators \nAbout the work:\nA responsive sculptural installation that reacts sonically to your presence. A digitally fabricated cellular textile comes to life with a mixture of whispers that approach human speech along with clicks\, gentle tones and vibrating sounds creating a quiet chorusing. Inorganic forms become conscious and communicative through digital magic. \nAbout the Artist:\nPhilip Beesley is an architect who teaches at the School of Architecture\, University of Waterloo\, and is Professor of Digital Design and Architecture & Urbanism at the European Graduate School. He is the Director of the Living Architecture Systems Group. Philip Beesley’s work is focused in the rapidly expanding technology and culture of responsive and interactive systems. \n\nDavid Grubbs (American\, b. 1967)\nYour Shadow on a Cloud\, 2017\nMulti-channel sound piece \nAbout the work:\nA meditation on the long history of music making at the Gardner Museum. Like clouds and shadows the experience of musical performances is fleeting. Inspired in part by the sounds that have echoed in the galleries over the last hundred years\, this composition plays with texture\, time and memory. \nAbout the Artist:\nDavid Grubbs is Professor of Music at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center\, CUNY. At Brooklyn College he also teaches in the MFA programs in Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) and Creative Writing. \n\nMoritz Fehr (German\, b. 1981)\nUndertone\, 2017 (12 minutes)\nSingle-channel ultrasonic sound installation\nMusic by Michel Lambert — Ombre de mon Amant\nThe Four Nations Ensemble:\nSoprano: Pascale Beaudin\nLute: Daniel Swenberg\nHarpsichord: Andrew Appel \nAbout the work:\nA sonic evocation of Vermeer’s Concert stolen in 1990. This installation honors the absent painting in a very new way as fragments of sound suggest what was once there. The sounds of a harpsichord playing and someone singing will be reminders of the intimate scene portrayed in the painting. \nAbout the Artist:\nMoritz Fehr’s work investigates the nature of sound in terms of metaphorical presence and spatial implications. \n\nElisa H. Hamilton (American\, b. 1983)\nSound Lab\, 2017\nInstallation\n(March 11- March 18) \nAbout the work:\nWhat does Boston sound like? This interactive listening space presents soundscapes from a variety of Boston neighborhoods. Together with four community organizations (located on the room-sized floor map)\, Elisa Hamilton gathered signature sounds from Boston’s past and present\, and then edited the results into visually arresting vinyl records. In this age of solitary listening\, we encourage you to explore the sounds and to participate in a communal audio experience. \nChoose from the new lathe cut records or vintage vinyl reflecting Boston’s rich musical traditions\, and play them on custom-built turntables. Daily open mic sessions will encourage improvisation and spontaneous sharing. All are welcome to touch\, to discover\, to listen\, and to be a part of the Sound Lab. \nThis installation was developed in partnership with youth from Hyde Square Task Force\, Roxbury Youth Orchestra\, and the Edward M. Kennedy Academy for Health Careers\, and with participants in the AiLi series at Haley House Bakery Café. \nAbout the Artist:\nElisa H. Hamilton is a Boston multimedia artist whose practice focuses on the creation of inclusive artworks that emphasize shared experiences and the inherent joy of our everyday places\, objects\, and experiences. \n\nTeri Rueb (American\, b. 1968)\nErnst Karel (American\, b.1970)\nFens\, 2017\nDownloadable app \nAbout the work:\nFens is an emplaced\, responsive sound piece that introduces another layer onto the palimpsest that is the Back Bay Fens. Rather than a physical intervention\, however\, this one is invisible\, experienced through engaging in the act of listening while simply being in the park. Made for headphones connected to an Android or iOS device running the freely downloadable app\, Fens creates an auditory environment in response to a participant’s location as they explore the park. The piece extends throughout the entire area from the Riverway to the west\, to Charlesgate to the northeast. \nThe piece is composed mainly from location recordings made in the Back Bay Fens in different seasons\, different weather\, at different times of day and night. Inspired by Olmsted’s fascination with parks as confluences of natural and social processes\, the piece takes up landscape as a site of interaction between human and non-human elements evoked through sound. Formerly present moments are re-enlivened as audio; layers of time become audible and blend with the contemporary moments of each encounter. A variety of sounds from fragments of speech to fragments of birdsong\, weather to waterways\, foreground to background to underground\, evoke the different scales and temporalities of human and non-human processes that shape the landscape. A unique sequence of sounds unfolds with each itinerary as visitors explore the site\, following their curiosity and pursuing cues implied by the features of the environment itself. \n\nO+A\nSam Auinger (Austria\, b. 1956)\nBruce Odland (American\, b. 1952)\nHarmonic Conduit\, 2017\n(opens April 2017) \nAbout the work:\nO+A transforms noise into harmony at the busy urban transportation hub of Boston’s Ruggles Station. Two communities\, essentially divided by the architecture and functionality of the station with its roads and rail lines\, will be connected by a conduit of harmonic sound waves. \nThe soundscape at Haley House Cafe in Lower Roxbury will be a primary source. Using a special “tuning tube\,” the sounds of traffic\, people\, music\, bicycles\, and jets\, will be transformed into harmonic resonance\, and played back in real-time from specially designed speakers mounted on the monolithic wall on the Northeastern University side of the station. (The tuned sound will also be played back in the Cafe’s vestibule in real time.) \nThe quite different soundscape of Northeastern University with its hive of activity\, trains\, busses\, voices\, electrical hums\, will be transformed into harmony and heard from overhead reflections from the vaulted glass arch on the other end of the station. The sonic identity of the station will be altered by the addition of a soft halo of harmonic resonance\, coupling with the station’s architecture\, creating a new way to hear and feel urban space. And a new way to hear the connection between two communities. \nAbout the Artists:\nBruce Odland and Sam Auinger are sonic thinkers\, composers\, and sound artists whose central theme is a “Hearing Perspective” of the world we live in. They are known for their large scale\, public space sound installations\, which transform city noise into harmony in real-time. O+A have been altering the sonic identity of public spaces with large scale installations since their first resonance installation in Trajan’s forum in Rome\, “Traffic Mantra” in 1991. They generate harmony from the chaos of urban noise with “tuning tubes” and specially designed loudspeakers. They have created over 30 such works\, both temporary and permanent around the world. Starting in 2009 O+A began to focus on the idea of a “Sonic Commons”\, questioning the dominance of the visual culture in our perception of the world.
