Floating World Projects
August 6 - October 22, 2011
Reception on Thursday, September 22, 6-8pm


Three American artists and three artists from Turkey have been collaborating on a body of work that explores the many aspects of cross-cultural identity. Over the course of two residencies, the group has executed pieces made by silkscreening images onto layered glass panels. The resulting works are powerful graphic collages that allude to architecture, poetry and history. The collaboration grew out of a partnership between the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston and Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul. Exhibitors are Turkish artists; Ayse Balyemez, Hande Büyükatll & Gülfidan Özmen and American artists; Oben Abright, James McLeod & Leo Tecosky.

Invisible Cities represents the visual arts component of Floating World Projects, an arts organization that aims to develop and sustain cross-cultural exchange through artistic collaborations.

Childhood Lost: Current Work by Kevin Snipes


April 29 - July 23, 2011
Reception, Friday, April 29, 6-8pm

An exhibition of functional ceramics by Kevin Snipes, an itinerant potter who has lived and worked across the country. Think 21st century Grecian Urn - inventive scenes featuring contemporary hipsters, their lives and language meticulously and colorfully drawn and documented on high-fired porcelain. Mathematical equations, architectural forms and molecular imagery also populate the work, suggesting that beneath the surface there is an underlying structure that binds us together regardless of race or socio-economic status.


In conjunction with the exhibition Kevin Snipes will be offering a one day workshop as well as an evening lecture on Tuesday, April 26 at Harvard's Ceramics Program. For more information click here: http://ofa.fas.harvard.edu/ceramics
