Greed, Guilt and Grappling: Six Artists Respond to Climate Change
Curated by Mags Harries and Clara Wainwright
Greed, Guilt and Grappling: Six Artists Respond to Climate Change opens
February 1st, 2008 at The Mills Gallery at the Boston Center for the
Arts. The show is guest curated by participating artists Clara
Wainwright and Mags Harries, featuring Jay Critchley, Lajos Heder,
Michael Sheridan and John Taguiri. All of these artists are
Massachusetts residents.
The show expects to bring to the table critical discussions about
the significant threat posed by climate change and to offer modest yet
effective methods of fighting back. Through a variety of media (video,
textile, installation, photography, sound, etc.), artists in this show
open up a dialogue about individual action on a collective, urgent
issue.

Don't Need A Weatherman to know which way the wind blows
Curated by Jose Luis Blondet
Using the famous Bob Dylan quote as a title, Don’t Need a Weatherman
to know which way the wind blows presents works by two artists, Maura
Jaspers and Joanna Malinowska, dealing with weather as an emotional
state rather than mere meteorology. Beyond the romantic assumption that
agitated weather mirrors a restless soul, the videos in this exhibit
register the tension between nature and culture, facts and emotions,
personal memories and atmospheric conditions.

in the mills gallery restroom
Stop by the Mills Gallery restroom to see a new installation by local multimedia artist Laura Evans. Well-known for her innovative 2-d and 3-d work with transient source materials such as brown paper bags, Evans has expanded on that work in the last couple of years to create colorful and playful sculptural installations that directly comment on, and grow out of, existing architectural elements. Pipes, cracks in the wall, nooks and crannies become animated with bits of rubber, tubing, metal ties, etc, that sag, jut and erupt with implied function.
