Andrew Fish: In the Memory Palace January 10 – March 10, 2019
Sawool Kim’s surreal, dream-like paintings fuse cultural relics with flora, fauna, and everyday objects. Her latest body of work explores transcultural identity through the visual metaphor of botanical grafting, a horticultural technique whereby the shoot of one plant is joined to the stock of another to create new, hybrid growth. Like grafting, transcultural experience can be seen as a process of hybridization – as cultural contact which generates new cultural forms and meanings.
Kim depicts cross-cultural hybridization as a visual grafting of cultural images. Her complex, interwoven compositions combine relics of diverse cultures with objects from our own time, visually transplanting these images onto one another to create new meaning. Inspired by her recent travels to South America, Kim incorporates artifacts from Pre-Columbian cultures, including Nazca, Moche, and Chancay ceramics. Her work also reflects her own transcultural experience; born in South Korea, Kim has lived and worked in Boston since 2013.
Flora and fauna merge with ancient and modern relics in new, unexpected, and incongruous ways. A woven basket sprouts a bright blue pinwheel, which morphs into a pair of lips, and from these lips escape an effusion of nightingales, wood thrushes, and yellow-throated warblers. These couplings can be abrupt and absurd, mirroring the sometimes awkward process of navigating transcultural identity. At the same time, such novel juxtapositions celebrate the transformative power of cross-cultural exchange and the striking originality of hybrid identity.

Laurent Hours: History Imagined
AUGUST 23 – OCTOBER 21, 2018
Laurent Hours’ small-scale mixed media works reveal a captivating, whimsical world of ancient cities, mysterious figures, and architectural fantasies. Detailed drawings rendered in sepia ink resemble the virtuoso sketches of a great Renaissance mind. The use of handmade papers, handwritten notes, and antique stamps completes the effect, evoking an ancient past that belies the work’s contemporary origins.
Featuring watercolors found in Adam Van Doren’s book The House Tells the Story: Homes of the American Presidents, this exhibition explores the famous lodgings of both living Presidents and those from the past. Van Doren visited each house and even corresponded with former Presidents to ensure the details of every home were faithfully recorded in his watercolors.

FALL/WINTER 2018
EXHIBITION
In Classical Antiquity, inspiration was dependent upon the nine Muses, goddesses and daughters of Zeus presiding over the Arts and Sciences whose invocation bestowed divine creativity upon their acolytes. The term “muse” has since become synonymous with an individual who similarly inspires another. There exists a long tradition within the Fine Arts of muses, men and women whose looks, personalities, and attitudes encourage bursts of prolific creative energy. Often this relationship between artist and muse is, or becomes, intimately familiar. Lovers, spouses, children, and friends have all been sources of great inspiration as subjects within an artist’s oeuvre.
Model and Muse: Intimate Connections reflects upon the fascinating and complicated relations between an artist and their inspiration. Bonds familial and otherwise play out over paintings, photographs, drawings, and sculpture from the early 20th century to the present, revealing the intricacies of close working and private relationships.

NOVEMBER 15, 2018 – JANUARY 6, 2019
EXHIBITIONAndrew Fish: In the Memory Palace
JANUARY 10 – MARCH 10, 2019
The fleeting feeling of Andrew Fish’s artwork is intentional. Concerned with the ubiquity of picture-making and—taking in our society, Fish’s work explores the ephemeral nature of technology-based images through the blending of traditional media and contemporary digital motifs. In this exhibition, the artist examines human memory in the context of the digital age. Memories, constantly mutating, lie at the intersection between what is ephemeral and what lasts over time. We are constantly forgetting, just as we are constantly replacing digital images with new ones, and yet some images persist in their familiarity and resonance.
A “memory palace” is a mnemonic enhancement technique dating back to ancient Greece, in which spatial visualization is used to recall information. With this body of work, Fish creates a series of images of obscure locations, meant to summon memories that will be unique to each viewer. By conjuring places that feel familiar to the audience but lack recognizable features of photographs and maps, and omit details observed in the present moment, the scenes invite immersion, yet simultaneously feel as if they are moments slipping away in time.

Concerned with the ubiquity of picture-making and—taking in our society, Fish’s work explores the ephemeral nature of technology-based images through the blending of traditional media and contemporary digital motifs. In this exhibition, the artist examines human memory in the context of the digital age. Memories, constantly mutating, lie at the intersection between what is ephemeral and what lasts over time. We are constantly forgetting, just as we are constantly replacing digital images with new ones, and yet some images persist in their familiarity and resonance.
A “memory palace” is a mnemonic enhancement technique dating back to ancient Greece, in which spatial visualization is used to recall information. With this body of work, Fish creates a series of images of obscure locations, meant to summon memories that will be unique to each viewer. By conjuring places that feel familiar to the audience but lack recognizable features of photographs and maps, and omit details observed in the present moment, the scenes invite immersion, yet simultaneously feel as if they are moments slipping away in time.

Andrew Fish: In the Memory Palace January 10 – March 10, 2019
Sawool Kim’s surreal, dream-like paintings fuse cultural relics with flora, fauna, and everyday objects. Her latest body of work explores transcultural identity through the visual metaphor of botanical grafting, a horticultural technique whereby the shoot of one plant is joined to the stock of another to create new, hybrid growth. Like grafting, transcultural experience can be seen as a process of hybridization – as cultural contact which generates new cultural forms and meanings.
Kim depicts cross-cultural hybridization as a visual grafting of cultural images. Her complex, interwoven compositions combine relics of diverse cultures with objects from our own time, visually transplanting these images onto one another to create new meaning. Inspired by her recent travels to South America, Kim incorporates artifacts from Pre-Columbian cultures, including Nazca, Moche, and Chancay ceramics. Her work also reflects her own transcultural experience; born in South Korea, Kim has lived and worked in Boston since 2013.
Flora and fauna merge with ancient and modern relics in new, unexpected, and incongruous ways. A woven basket sprouts a bright blue pinwheel, which morphs into a pair of lips, and from these lips escape an effusion of nightingales, wood thrushes, and yellow-throated warblers. These couplings can be abrupt and absurd, mirroring the sometimes awkward process of navigating transcultural identity. At the same time, such novel juxtapositions celebrate the transformative power of cross-cultural exchange and the striking originality of hybrid identity.

Laurent Hours: History Imagined
AUGUST 23 – OCTOBER 21, 2018
Laurent Hours’ small-scale mixed media works reveal a captivating, whimsical world of ancient cities, mysterious figures, and architectural fantasies. Detailed drawings rendered in sepia ink resemble the virtuoso sketches of a great Renaissance mind. The use of handmade papers, handwritten notes, and antique stamps completes the effect, evoking an ancient past that belies the work’s contemporary origins.
Featuring watercolors found in Adam Van Doren’s book The House Tells the Story: Homes of the American Presidents, this exhibition explores the famous lodgings of both living Presidents and those from the past. Van Doren visited each house and even corresponded with former Presidents to ensure the details of every home were faithfully recorded in his watercolors.

EXHIBITION
In Classical Antiquity, inspiration was dependent upon the nine Muses, goddesses and daughters of Zeus presiding over the Arts and Sciences whose invocation bestowed divine creativity upon their acolytes. The term “muse” has since become synonymous with an individual who similarly inspires another. There exists a long tradition within the Fine Arts of muses, men and women whose looks, personalities, and attitudes encourage bursts of prolific creative energy. Often this relationship between artist and muse is, or becomes, intimately familiar. Lovers, spouses, children, and friends have all been sources of great inspiration as subjects within an artist’s oeuvre.
Model and Muse: Intimate Connections reflects upon the fascinating and complicated relations between an artist and their inspiration. Bonds familial and otherwise play out over paintings, photographs, drawings, and sculpture from the early 20th century to the present, revealing the intricacies of close working and private relationships.
