Ornament and Illusion is the first monographic exhibition dedicated to
Renaissance painter Carlo Crivelli in the United States. The Gardner's newly conserved Saint George Slaying the Dragon is the touchstone for a two-part installation. The first reunites four of six surviving panels from Crivelli's Porto San Giorgio altarpiece, of which the Gardner painting is a fragment. The second features 20 of Crivelli's most important works from Europe and the U.S. Together, they will introduce visitors to the artist's repertoire of dazzling pictorial effects, and refine each encounter with his bravura illusionism.

Rosa Barba: The Color of Space
|
| | click on image for more info |
Rosa Barba's works encompassing sculptures, installations, text pieces, and publications are grounded in the material qualities of cinema. Her film sculptures examine the physical properties of the projector, celluloid, and projected light. Barba's longer projected works are situated between experimental documentary and fictional narrative, and are indeterminately situated in the past or the future. These speculative stories probe into the relationship of historical record, personal anecdote, and filmic representation. For this first survey of her work in North America, Barba premieres The Color Out of Space (2015), a new film incorporating images of stars and planets collected over the last year at Hirsch Observatory at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The work expands upon Barba's ongoing interrogation of geological time as measured against the span of a human lifetime. The exhibition includes works made over the last ten years including two of Barba's cinematic large projections, which focus on natural landscapes and man-made interventions into the environment, as well as a group of small projector sculptures and wall works.
Rosa Barba (b. 1972, Sicily, Italy) lives and works in Berlin. Barba studied at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Solo exhibitions include Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland; Bergen Kunsthall, Norway; Jeu de Paume, Paris; and Kunstverein Braunschweig, Germany among others. She was a resident artist at Artpace, San Antonio in 2014 and at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa in 2013.

I Am Books - An Italian American Cultural Hub
|
| | Click here for detailed information |
Like any bookstore, I Am Books sells primarily books. What makes this bookstore unique is its focus on Italian and Italian American culture, history, cuisine, art, authors.
Ethnic bookstores are not a new thing, but usually they are geared towards new immigrant communities, in which the native language is still a fundamental component.
I Am Books will feature a few books in Italian, sure, but its inventory will be mostly English language books, as the bookstore's focus will be on the ongoing discussion of what it means to be an American of Italian heritage in this day and age.
The bookstore will host author events, readings, and small acoustic concerts on the ground level, while at the lower level it will hold a media center and the offices of Bostoniano, Boston's Italian American Voice, a print monthly magazine launched in Dec. 2012.
