Trifecta Year One @ Fourth Wall

 

 This week Trifecta Editions celebrates year one with a multi-day arts & culture fest at  Fourth Wall Project. It kicks off on the 22nd and runs through the 25th. The Saturday evening line-up looks extra exciting with performances by Ponies in the Surf and Milo Jones. More details on artists and events from Trifecta.

Some Get Away

 Those Stitched Memos of mine that began as an Artclash / Fun-a-Day series and winter-making-project will be on view at Twelve Chairs in Boston's South End through the summer.

Each piece is a segment of a phrase from film, literature or life embroidered on to upholstery fabric samples that I've collected from design projects over the years. Embroidering them is like a little meditation on the words, a way to capture lines that resonate with me and pop up out of nowhere but often would otherwise slip my mind and get away. Making them is an opportunity to explore the graphic qualities of text and color in combination with the pattern and texture of the fabric.

Actually, I've become a bit hooked on the making of them and continue thinking of other ways to transcribe all of these collected phrases for future projects!

First Thursday & Five Years

This month's First Thursday gallery night in Jamaica Plain also happened to be the five year anniversary of the wonderful Hallway Gallery. And the celebration show, inspired by building materials, is an inspired choice and beautiful to boot. Go see Emma Rhodes' solo show there this month.

Good Clean Fun

The Fun-a-Day exhibit is up and on view until April 5th at Voltage Coffee & Art. The opening reception was a well-attended and festive success! 

Swing by, grab a latte and stroll around to see this year's projects.

Designing a Revolution

 

The Design Museum is at it again, bringing design to some sorta off-the-radar spot in Boston. This time it's a selection of posters from the Green Patriots collection on exhibit at a small gallery space in the lobby at 315 A, a new residential development in the Fort Point Channel neighborhood. There is a great range of graphic design on display, complete with poster precedents from other eras, giving the Green Patriot Posters greater context.

The show is up through the end of May and worth a visit, especially if you happen to be in the neighborhood for some good food & drink!
