Lumens to open in Adams, North Adams - July 07, 2008
NORTH ADAMS – Greylock Arts, MCLA Gallery 51, and Turbulence are pleased to announce “Lumens,” an interactive light installation by artists Matthew Belanger, Sean Riley and Ven Voisey.
Lumens re-connects North Adams and Adams -- originally a single community -- through an exploration of location, influence, history and the present.
A project of "Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses," Lumens is an installation of lamps networked across three spaces: Greylock Arts, MCLA Gallery 51 Annex, and Turbulence.org. Scores of personal lamps that usually inhabit and illuminate the interiors of homes and shops have been borrowed, from the residents of Adams and North Adams, filling two gallery spaces: Greylock Arts in Adams and MCLA Gallery 51 Annex in North Adams. In addition to the lamps, the personal stories and histories that accompany the lamps have been collected. These are represented in a virtual gallery on turbulence.org, which also serves to connect the two locations telematically.
Please join us for the opening celebration of Lumens on Thursday, July 10, from 6-9 p.m. at all three locations: Greylock Arts at 93 Summer St. in Adams, MCLA Gallery 51 Annex at 65 Main St. in North Adams, and online at www.turbulence.org/networkedrealities. A shuttle bus will be available to transport people between Adams and North Adams during the opening event. Lumens will run through Oct. 31.
In addition to Lumens, other DownStreet Art exhibitions include: “Primary Secondary Volumes 1 & 2,” featuring the work of twenty of the drafts people working on the Sol LeWitt retrospective at Mass MoCA; Jarvis Rockwell’s “Maya III,” a 9-foot pyramid covered in action figures with a live drawing the artist will complete through the summer months; the member-run North Adams Co-Op Gallery exhibiting local and regional fine arts and crafts; “The Grandfather Paradox,” a narrative installation exploring the improbability of time travel by artist Mark W. Mulherrin at 73 Main Street Annex; “Terms of Surrender,” a multimedia installation of found and archival footage, photos, and sound recordings by artist Rich Remsberg at MCLA Gallery 51; “Reflections,” a two-channel video sculpture exploring figurative abstraction and patterns by artist David Lachman at the Papyri Gallery; and drawings by artist Eric Rudd at Art Space.
“Networked Realities: (Re)Connecting the Adamses” is a collaboration of Greylock Arts, MCLA Gallery 51, and Turbulence. Lumens is made possible through the generous support of New Radio and Performing Arts, Inc. with funding from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the LEF Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
