18th Annual Small Matters of Great Importance National Juried Exhibition: Interior/Exterior
September 22 - November 13, 2011 Jurors: Avis Berman and Elizabeth Thompson Colleary In celebration of our 40th Anniversary “Year of Edward Hopper,” the theme for this year’s Small Matters show is “Interior/Exterior.” That interplay is frequently represented in Hopper’s art, whether it is physical spaces or psychological states. As Hopper said “Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.” Each artist in this exhibition explores the interior/exterior relationship in an original way. Selected Artists: Robin Arnold, Erick Battaglia, Missi Brenneman-Allen, Brian Brooks, Shelia Bunin, Mary K. Connelly, Lisa Delmonico, Collette Fournier, James Fuhrman, Ellen Gavin, Caroline Golden, Timothy Gowan, Arthur Gunther, Shelly Hamilton, Michael Iskowitz, Andrew Jones, Peggy Klineman, Arlene Lieberman, Jessie Liebman, Cara Lynch, Lisa Mahan, Elizabeth Meggs, Elissa Merkl, Lynne Miller, Catherine Minnery, Jonathan O'Hea, Joseph Reid, Meredith Rose, Silvia Rudolf, Robin Lawson Scheuer, Gary Schwartz, Margot Spindelman, John Taye, Lita Thorne. |

I'm After Me: A Light Installation by Christine Sciulli
July 23 - September 18, 2011 In celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Edward Hopper House, Sciulli seeks to harken back to the dilapidation of the house between Hopper’s sister Marion’s death in 1965 and 1971, when local residents banded together to save the house from demolition. Absent of the care of human hands, nature always finds a way to reclaim space. Decomposition, broken windows and wind lead to seeds taking root. In this installation, I’m After Me, grasses and brush resonate of Hopper’s beloved dunescape, Truro, Massachusetts. Hopper’s interest in the use of planes and volumes of light in his two-dimensional paintings parallels her own investigations of light projected into three-dimensional space. His figures are caught within light-volumes often in stark contrast to the background. His planes of light articulate focus. In I’m After Me, planes of light which scan the grasses and brush seemingly fracture into a multitude of points of light that variously swarm and scatter. |

At Home at Hopper ('s) House and installation by artists Anna Lise Jensen and Jenny Carolin
July 23 - September 18, 2011 At Home at Hopper (‘s) House is an installation by artists Anna Lise Jensen and Jenny Carolin that invites viewers to share the out-of-sight rooms of the house (basement and second floor) through photographs, paintings and a miniature Hopper House. Displayed throughout the hallway and in the room that was originally the kitchen, they reciprocate the access they have been granted to the house by sharing the everyday of hidden rooms with visitors to the exhibition. Acting as hosts within the setting of the house, Jensen and Carolyn welcome the public to two conversations - on Hopper House and the community that organized to save it.
