Shifting
Terrain: Landscape Video July 2 - September 18, 2011 This summer, experience the Currier's first exhibition to exclusively feature moving image artworks, including digital projections, site-specific interventions and sculptural installations. Shifting Terrain: Landscape Video is part of the Spotlight New England series, which highlights the most talented artists from the region and invites fresh perspectives on issues of global interest and contemporary art-making. Landscape representations have a long history in the visual arts and have been used to communicate a range of social, political and personal perspectives. American painters and photographers in the mid-1800s, for example, often framed the American landscape as a pastoral ideal or untamed wilderness to depict the virtues of the nation. The time-based projects in Shifting Terrain are in conversation with these traditions, but incorporate strategies that respond to the unique artistic, social and economic climates and physical realities of today. They offer new opportunities to think about and understand the complexity of the landscapes we encounter -- both the physical sites and their representations |

After 39 years at 26 Holden Street, The Artery Lounge relocated and expanded in early 2010, leaving behind a stripped-out shell of a bar. Extrapolating upon the architecture of the space itself, the definitions of artery, and the remaining relics of the former watering hole, Nofziger has created an immersive multimedia environment. Investigating history and nostalgia, this work also considers anatomy and transit. Transparent red vinyl saturates the gallery inside and transforms the view of the exterior. This altered light shifts dramatically throughout the day. A pool table invites viewers to spend time in the evolving space and to participate in the installation. Amplified and altered, the sounds of the game gain impact, and resonate through the bones of the structure.

Nofziger examines two specific examples of iconic architecture in Medellin as a reflection on culture, development, and prosperity. The stability of these qualities is questioned by simplifying the imposing forms and asking them to perform impossible and potentially embarrassing feats. The tallest building in Antioquia, Torre Coltejer, falls into the gallery, spills across the floor, and bends up the wall in Needle, while Float convinces one of the most gargantuan land-locked structures in Medellin (Edificio Bancolombia) to lighten up and take a cruise.

STENCILS:
Public Space and Social Intervention July 26-
August 25, 2007 Organized by Hiroko
Kikuchi and Alice Vogler What is "stencil" and/or an act of "stenciling"? The exhibition STENCILS features works by artists who have responded this question both literally and metaphorically and defined it through a wide range of subject matters and mediums. Some of the works address particular issues such as the gender bias among young children, media literacy, street violence, politics of value, environmental responsibility, waste from technology, and neighborhood gentrification; others are generated from personal views of what "stencil(ing)" means to them. |

ONE PILL April 6 -
May 6, 2007 A group exhibition that challenges the viewers own perceptions of scale. By utilizing the two exhibition spaces, you fall through the rabbit hole like alice and explore artwork that in one room makes you larger than life, and in the next room, dwarfs you with images and scale. Upon closer examination, the individual works by each artist hold the viewers attention beyond the perceived sense of scale, and the works create their own world to be entered, and become large even when they take up little space. Curated by sculptor, Sherry Bittle. Art

Installation progress report and images here Big, Red & Shiny article by Christian Holland here CORE March 12—April
20, 2007 Working with the physical space of the gallery, its myriad past and present uses, and its architecturally significant beginnings, Core presents an abstracted “core sample” of architect William LeBaron Jenney’s Ludington Building, disrupting conventional expectations of architecture. Viewer exploration will complete the work, revealing reflections of the building's past, from the vibration of printing presses to toothpaste and auto-parts.
