4th Annual Juried Show
Anxiety Attack: in these times, what makes you anxious?
Tue Nov 25- Sat Dec 20, Reception Sun Dec 7, 3 p.m.
 The 4th Annual Juried Show draws art from all quarters- Lowell, Boston, the North Shore, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Lured by the theme: Anxiety Attack, they responded with a variety of perspectives executed in a range of media. Their blending of old and new techniques is seamless: Hosner's digital prints feel like graphite, Hegner's photograph belies its digital printing, and Jeffer's pop image (our only fabric art this year) is as much an icon of the 20th century as the 21st.
Many personal demons hover in the gallery, while the general aura is that of contemporary anxiety: a leeriness of consumerism, politics and the media. Our human bodies are manifest, but surprisingly not as ubiquitous obese passengers. Instead, our corporal nature is strikingly represented by ethereal outlines. Hyun Ju Kim's False Bodies are creations made not with human hands (in the traditional sense), but with computer models and laser etching.
Anxiety is a broad theme. What is one's fear is another's excitement. What make one anxious can make another aroused.The essence of anxiety is the same as art. No one knows were it comes from or why- it's just there.
The winning artist of the juried show will be announced at the reception on Dec 7. The winner will be awarded a solo show in the gallery.
