Artist/Curator talk: Tuesday, September 20th, 1-1:30 pm
Guest Curated by James Hull, gallery director at NESAD, Suffolk University, “Behind the Image” is an exhibit of five well- established artists who live and work in the Boston area. The exhibition reveals some of the investigations, processes and inspirations these artists use to produce specific artworks. The highly crafted paintings and drawings created by these artists are shown side-by-side with the sketchbooks, digital mock-ups, photographic studies, art history books, and color studies that informed their decisions during production. Dana Clancy, Lisa Costanzo, John Guthrie, Cristi Rinklin and Joe Wardwell are the artists who share their work and studio practices with us in " Behind the Image"

“Loops and Strips” New Paintings by Nataliya Bregel 11/3- 12/30
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 3rd , 5-7pm
Artist Talk: Wednesday, November 9th, 1-1:30pm
Nataliya Bregel’s paintings are based on video footage from her travels. She shoots footage in both public and domestic environments, observing unfolding interactions between friends and family or groups of strangers. Bregel then selects a group of still shots from a section of video, which she then paints onto thin horizontal panels and more recently, the interiors of hoops, allowing the viewer to become immersed in these intimate portraits. The narrative of memory and travel is built into her paintings.
“Drawing Physical Lines” Ceramic Sculpture and Installation by Josephine Burr 2/2-3/14
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 2nd, 5-7pm
Artist Talk: Tuesday, February 7th, 1-1:30pm
Ceramic Sculptor and designer Josephine Burr will be showing an installation and sculpture created during a 2011 summer residency in Babson’s Ceramic Studio.

Ms. Burr focuses on layering imagery and texture to create a dimensional sense of memory and time in her pieces. Ms.Burr received her MFA from UMASS Dartmouth, and was Manager of Education and Studio Operations and Artist in Residence at Greenwich House Pottery in New York City from 2002-2007. She has taught at Harvard University, UMASS Dartmouth, and Babson College.

Nathalie Miebach’s brings together rigorous craft, science, and art to create her intricate yet playful sculptures. The artist utilizes scientific data related to astronomy, ecology, and meteorology into woven sculptures whose forms evoke baskets, nets, and models for planetary systems. The forms appropriately parallel the real life counterparts that both affect and are affected by the data that informs their structure. At Babson, she will create a site-specific wall sculpture in the Hollister Gallery. Ms Miebach received her MFA from MASS college of Art. She is a recipient of the MASS cultural council fellowship in Sculpture and the Blanche Colman and is a 2011 recipient of a Pollock Krasner Grant and a TED Global Fellowship.
