Visual Arts Faculty & Alumni Participate in Virtual Exhibitions

July 6, 2020

While there’s no substitute for experiencing a work of art in person, galleries and artist-run spaces are creatively rethinking how to share work and foster artistic community in spite of social distancing. BU faculty and alumni are featured in numerous virtual exhibitions that you can explore from the safety of your home:

Musa Collective, a Boston-based artist run space founded by BU alumni, is hosting an online exhibition on the gallery website. Taking a Line for a Walk explores how drawing reveals itself through the process of making as a means of discovery and communication in its purest form. The group exhibition features work by BU faculty Marc Schepens and Jill Grimes, as well as BU alumni Nina Bellucci (CFA’09) and Niels Burger (CFA’02).

Houston-based Inman Gallery invited artists Dana Frankfort and Jackie Gendel to curate a virtual exhibition. Animal Crossing includes work from Painting faculty Breehan James and alum Hannah Barrett (CFA’98). From the curators: “Human art has featured animals since the cave paintings of Lascaux.  That simple statement might imply an equally simple distinction: between artist and subject, shepherd and flock, humans and everything else. But for longer than we’ve been painting animals we’ve been living with them, in a jumble of fascination, suspicion and dependency that collapses comfortable objective distance.”

Newly minted BFA Sculpture alum Devin Wilson (CFA’20) recently founded his own gallery in a bedroom of his parents’ house in rural Pennsylvania. The Bedroom Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, Escape the Universe, can be viewed online now, and features work by Wilson alongside fellow BU alumni Joshua Duttweiler (CFA’17), Kristen Mallia (CFA’18), Nina Miller (CFA’20), Sizhi Zou (CFA’20), and BU Sculpture faculty David Snyder.

BFA Painting alum Cassidy Early (CFA’16) is participating in a virtual exhibition with La Loma Projects. Their online viewing room So Far assembles portraits made by artists under quarantine, providing an interior view of the historic upheavals of 2020. Half of La Loma Projects’ proceeds from So Far will be donated to the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE) and the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
