THE MOMENTARY
Associate Member Exhibition
curated by Georgina Lewis + Lior Neiger
August 4–29, 2021
SoWa First Friday Art Walk: Friday, August 6, 2021 | 5:00–8:00PM
BOSTON, MA – Beginning August 4, Fountain Street will exhibit “The Momentary,” featuring the work of the Gallery’s Associate Members. The show of painting, photography, sculpture, collage and mixed media illuminates time as a marker, both absolute and arbitrary. Things can change in a minute. An instant can seem staggering. The momentary is consequential. Artists excel at capturing a fleeting moment, in elevating a moment that is overlooked. But what happens when the moment instead captures you, when a void opens, as it did in March 2020?
The exhibiting artists consider how time functions in their respective mediums and art practices, and how their various approaches changed as a result of the pandemic. This is indeed a “timely” show, with eclectic work ranging from pieces situated in the present to those in an entirely different temporal frame. It is sure to give the viewer pause.
Exhibiting Associate Member Artists: Clare Asch, John Baker, Katherine Borkowski-Byrne, Dalvin Byron, John Daly, Monica DeSalvo, Susan Greer Emmerson, Nan Hass Feldman, Robert Hesse, Jeffrey Heyne, Meghan Mirasolo, Pat Paxson, Catherine Picard-Gibbs, Shany Porras, Jill Pottle, Dorothea Van Camp, Anne Sargent Walker, Leslie Zelamsky
