Cancellations of Programming March 2020

Posted on March 12, 2020

cancelled stampWe at the Griffin are reviewing all of our scheduled events going forward. As you know we have cancelled our four receptions for this coming weekend. The Atelier 31 reception along side Michelle Rogers-Pritzl’s reception, David Marlin’s and the 10th Annual Self-Published Photobook’s receptions are cancelled.

We have cancelled our “Meet and Greet “with our new Associate Director, Crista Dix.

We have decided on further cancellations through March right now. We will cancel Rick Wright’s exhibition reception and the “Primary Source” reception. My sincere apology to all the artists in these shows. We will delay slightly the current closing dates of these two exhibits as well. These days are not the status quo and flexibility and self care is needed on all our parts.

We have decided to postpone our Gala event on April 3, 2020. A new date has not been scheduled at this time.

We have cancelled our lecture and curator in residence reviews with Laura Noble on March 18th. Those who have signed up will receive full reimbursements.

We have cancelled Mary Virginia Swanson’s lecture on April 6th and the private events on April 7th and 8th.

Our small classes are being reviewed on a case by case basis keeping in mind social distancing and recommended procedures to stem the spread of communicable diseases. On March 7th we published these recommendations here on Facebook. They can be found on our website in the Contact tab in our FAQs.

As we move forward into April we will keep you informed of further cancellations. What we have decided to date is to postpone our opening of exhibitions “Private Collections” and “A Long the Riverrun”. New dates have not been scheduled.

These are all difficult and complex decisions we all are making. Here in Winchester all of the schools will be closed for two weeks. The MFA, ICA, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Science Museum and the Harvard Museums will be closed beginning tonight until further notice.

There are so many uncertainties right now. Make safe choices, look out for one another and be kind.

Sincerely,
Paula Tognarelli
Executive Director

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
