From the MOMA website: “Dan Perjovschi (Romanian, b. 1961), who lives and works in Bucharest, has transformed the medium of drawing, using it to create an object, a performance, and an installation… For his first solo museum exhibition in the United States, the artist will draw witty and incisive political images, in response to current events, on one wall of The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium… The project is accompanied by a pamphlet created by the artist.”

“Sure you want to kill someone, but not someone who doesn’t deserve to die.”

Confluence Theatre Company presents Summer, Deepening Then Gone, an original tragicomedy by Tom X. Chao, directed by Elisa Malona.

As a callow poet celebrates what should be the greatest night of his career, a magic whistle summons him. He discovers that an offhand promise made to a young girl years ago inextricably compels him to kill.

DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA, 1994

This first-time collaboration for The Computer Museum in Boston and the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln featured 100 pieces by 36 New England artists. Artworks at both museums range from stained glass, mosaic, painting, and sculpture to digital collage, interactive installations, virtual reality and animation.

“Computer animation and an electronic soundtrack composed by the artist are the basic technical elements of Greg A. Stephens’s video Death is the Seed. Using images of demons, angels, saints, and martyrs from the history of Western art, Stephens creates shifting visual patterns. Symbols of death come alive, as it were, in a pulsating fabric of mortality. The sampled vocal line ‘When I become death, death is the seed from which I grow,’ ironic is its sinister delivery, is spoken by poet William S. Burroughs.In Stephens’s video collaboration… Fragments of a Vicarious Childhood, animations, computer-processed video footage, and Super-8 film combine in a collage of memory. Fleeting layers of dancing pictographs, landscape imagery, and nostalgia-tinged ‘home movies’ blur together in an exploration of time’s effects on remembered and imagined events.”

Do While Studio is a small and focused community offering an alternative to the way technology is assimilated in day-to-day art practice. Conceived by artists as a non-profit organization in 1985, we ground our collaborative work in the development and critical appraisal of digital technology – always in concert with traditional forms of artistic expression such as painting, sculpture, poetry, choreography, storytelling, music and design.

Since 1978, Fort Point artists have opened their studios to the public during the third weekend in October. The Open Studios Weekend attracts about 10,000 visitors to our neighborhood. This event offers the public a rare glimpse into the living and working spaces of artists, while providing a valuable opportunity for artists to sell their work.
