Turner Gallery exhibition - main space
Opening Reception Friday, September 17th, 7pm - 9pm
Open from 9/17 - 9/24

The artists approach space from dimensional, performative, and interactive perspectives. Henry Jackson-Spieker responds to the physical boundaries of the gallery by altering and creating new surroundings and structures within the space. These surroundings are used to critique forms of societal structures through the use of multiples, tension, and physical manipulation. Felicity Machado investigates the relationship between tension and nature intimacy. Her work utilizes video installation to engage with the audience. She discusses the power of tension and the emotional transportation of light through visual video poetics and glass. Mollie McKinley's sculptures honor the relationship between the immaterial (time) and earthen material (salt). Monoliths, typically architectural monuments to vertical power structures, are redefined as small, organic monuments to change and softness. Light, blown glass, and other materials create relational dynamics in rituals towards healing and transformation. All of these works address the overlap between the embodiments of light and suspension of tension in order to instigate criticality and curiosity.

Harvard University Historian Dr. Maya Jasanoff will deliver the Third Annual Global Studies Lecture on Wednesday, September 22 at 6:30 on Zoom.

Ancestors: Where do we come from? Why do we Care?

Everyone comes from somewhere. We carry our ancestries in our names, heirlooms, DNA, and more. From the doctor's office to the passport office, from whom we've descended affects the biological, legal, and cultural identities of just about everybody in the world today. How did ancestry come to play such a critical role in defining status? Weaving together anthropology, genetics, and history, this lecture will reflect on the human preoccupation with lineage from the origins of Homo sapiens to the DNA tests of today

At Modern's single stream recycling plant, she found an unexpected and fulfilling way to serve municipalities: providing exceptional recycling solutions. She took an interim job on the line as a sorter, but opportunities to operate equipment, learn commodity market sales, and grow into leadership kept her engaged.
