New Bedford Harbor in a New Light at New Bedford Art Museum
in New Bedford, Massachusetts now through August 8th
Stage Fright by Marguerite White.
"Many believe the process of making art somehow revolves around creating permanent 'beauty'; but my work is not made to be sacrosanct." These are the words of Marguerite White, a featured artist in the current exhibition at the New Bedford Art Museum and whose artwork appears above. It is this very livable, breathable element dependent on human interaction and experience that aligns White and her work with the themes that emerge from the exhibition honing in on the Port of New Bedford, the ocean environment and the culture that envelopes it all. New Bedford Harbor in a New Light features recent work in these categories by more than thirty artists working within a range of different media. In an open call, curators Kim Barry, Willoughby Elliott and Lasse Antonsen invited artists to create work inspired by the New Bedford harbor, its history and culture. The works on display reference ocean eddies, acidification, the fishing industry, pollution, immigration and personal history. Stylistically, the exhibition spans from gesture marks in oil painting, through photography and sculpture, to meditative video work exploring the many sources of water that feed into the harbor. New Bedford Harbor in a New Light will be on display concurrently at two venues: the New Bedford Art Museum now through Thursday, August 8th, and at the University Art Gallery at UMass Dartmouth Star Store now through Thursday, August 22nd with an Opening Reception on Thursday, June 13th from 6-9pm. The exhibition is accompanied by a comprehensive catalog featuring work and statements from each artist. It also includes essays by noted scholars, historians and researchers from the South Coast.

Seeds from impermanence at Vessels Gallery
in Boston, Massachusetts now through June 2nd
Artwork by Dorina Molnar.
"To have the chance to be part of nature's making and shaping is an incredible force and discovery to me." This is a quote from artist Dorina Molnár about her thoughts on forms and process. Molnár is inspired by nature and its cycle of creation, survival, decay and regrowth. Perhaps this helps to explain where her passion for art comes from and why she believes nothing is ever truly gone--it only changes shape. In her solo exhibition, Seeds from impermanence, Molnár's ceramic sculpture is enhanced by both her photography and her drawings on paper. Taken together, these three elements illustrate the artist's dynamic creative path, from the origin of her imagination to its palpable clay surface to the documentation of its interaction with the natural world. The exhibition displays Molnár's work in its various stages, allowing the viewer to imagine the individual paths of each piece as it changes from sketch to clay object to photograph, growing and shape-shifting, and finally beginning the cycle again. Molnár was born in Budapest and attended the Hungarian University of Arts and Applications before pursuing a design career in Italy. She now works in Concord, Massachusetts. Seeds from impermanence is on view now through Sunday, June 2nd at Vessels Gallery. Don't miss this opportunity to witness Molnár tame abstractions and manifest perceptions of the mind into realities of the natural world.

Sri Lanka: Pinhole Photographs and Portraits at Open Door Gallery
in Boston, Massachusetts now through July 19th
Maning Market by Liz Doles.
"The way I take pictures relies so much on serendipity," said photographer, Fulbright artist and teacher, Liz Doles to Smriti Daniel of the Sri Lanka Sunday Times. She was describing the process behind her homemade, inexpensive equipment and pinhole photographs, saying she prefers instinct and intuition over viewfinders and LCD panels. It was this particularly unusual approach that won her a Fulbright scholarship to live and work in Sri Lanka, which is where she gathered the material for her most current exhibition. VSA Massachusetts is currently presenting a photography exhibit by Liz Doles that displays eighty intimate photographic portraits of the ordinary, multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-ethnic people of Sri Lanka. Also on view are fifteen of Doles' pinhole photographs of the iconic architecture of the island. These breathtaking photographs capture the spirit of a people and place few have known. Of her time in Sri Lanka, Doles commented, "I thought that it was going to be about the architecture of religion and power and then I became interested in street corners and vernacular architecture just as much." This shift in expectations helps to explain why the simple things--humble dwellings, snacks and shops--soon became the focus of Doles' project. Sri Lanka: Pinhole Photographs and Portraits offers a unique opportunity for viewers to experience and gain first-hand knowledge about a culture that is too little known in the United States. The exhibition is on view now through Friday, July 19th at the Open Door Gallery. Be sure to come see Doles' artwork, which offers her vision of a nation poised at the edge of transformation.
