"EXCHANGE"
Essex Art Center and La Galeria at Villa Victoria Center for the Arts present a collaboratively curated exhibition entitled EXCHANGE. Designed to unite diverse communities of artists and audiences, the works in EXCHANGE reference themes such as personal and collective identity, culture, and modes of communication.
Lisa Marie Barber, "Plane Boy with Building", mixed media quilt, 54"x 70", 2007
Artists include:
• June August, • Lisa Marie Barber • Luke Buffenmyer • Laara Cassells • The Children’s Place
• Florian Foerster • Lara Loutrel • Megan McNaught • Jarrett Min Davis • Liz Nofziger
• Kerry O’Grady • Chandra Dieppa Ortiz • Linda Price-Sneddon • Leslie Schomp • Therese Zemlin.
The artists in Exchange explore the exhibition’s title concept in a variety of media including sculpture, ceramic, paint, print, collage, drawing, sound, and video. At times Exchange refers to an interchange of ideas, processes, and ultimately products created by two or more artists working in collaboration. Exchange also relates to an interplay and range of histories, cultures, and technologies within an individual artists’ work. Referencing personal identity, art history, and multiple modes of communication, the diverse array of work in this exhibition speaks to the many ways in which the concept of Exchange is expressed.
Organizers / Curators of Exchange include:
• Leslie Costello, Executive Director and Chester F. Sidell Gallery Director at Essex Art Center, Lawrence, MA
• Evan J. Garza, Editor-at-Large, New American Paintings and former Gallery Manager and Curator at LA GALERÍA, Villa Victoria Center for the Arts, Boston
• Cathy McLaurin, Special Projects and Elizabeth A. Beland Gallery Director, Essex Art Center
• Ceci Mendez, Director of Exhibitions & Community Partnerships, New Art Center in Newton, M
• Anabel Vazquez-Rodriguez, Curator and Manager at LA GALERIA, Villa Victoria Center for the Arts
This exhibition is sponsored in part by a grant from the Lawrence Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency. Other support for this exhibit comes from NLT Foundation and Anonymous Foundation.
