Artful Word: BCA Center - Sam Falls 07/12/2013

Community producer James Gero's video.

Drawing inspiration from photographic processes, Sam Falls conducts outdoor experiments similar to contact sheet printing. Using sunlight to ‘develop’ the imprint of wood onto large swaths of fabric or infusing colored dye into hay bales, Falls applies the physical and technical aspects of image making to unconventional materials. By juxtaposing photography’s technical process with sculptural convention and painterly form, Falls’ work introduces a harmonious dialogue between three independent mediums.

Artful Word: BCA Center - Dan Tranberg: Imperial Material 05/24/2013

Community producer James Gero's video.

While traditional conventions of painting prioritize image and content, Dan Tranberg’s work inverts this dynamic by championing the materials used in the paintings’ composition. Through the incorporation of materials like yarn, glitter, and Roll-a-Tex, Tranberg’s work creates an overtly tactile experience that emphasizes materiality above all else. This manipulation of formal systems results in dynamic, gem-like paintings that are ideal for contemplation. For more info, visit BCA.

Artful Word: BCA Center - Gail Salzman: Soundings 05/24/2013

Community producer James Gero's video.

Known for their luminous color and layered surfaces, Gail Salzman’s abstract oil paintings have been exhibited widely across the East Coast. The title of the exhibition references a method of measuring depth, and brings together Salzman’s most recent body of work in a metaphorical investigation of water’s seen and unseen influence on our lives. While exploring formal elements of composition, Salzman uses water to represent the fluidity of time and memory while recalling multiple levels of experience. Salzman lives and works in Vermont.

Artful Word: BCA Center - Seat's Taken 01/25/2013

Community producer James Gero's video. Seat’s Taken is a group exhibition designed to continue the community-wide dialogue initiated by ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center’s recent exhibition, RACE: Are We So Different?. Seat’s Taken aims to move the discussion beyond race to examine the larger issue of why human beings wrong one another, as race is just one variable in a complex equation. The exhibition examines human interaction, questions the way we choose to navigate the world, and challenges our reactions to the unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and different.

Artful Word: BCA Center - John Anderson: Constructed Conceptual 01/11/2013

Community producer James Gero's video. Vermont-based artist and architect John Anderson challenges conventional definitions of drawing and sculpture by blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional space. Constructed Conceptual brings together four different bodies of work in which paper and graphite drawings are uniquely cut, torn, rolled, twisted, folded, and painted to create dynamic sculptural objects, and alphabets of line and color.
