> In the Main Gallery–Kurt Reynolds (South Boston, MA) is well known  
> for his body of installations, sculpture, and assemblage-based  
> works that eloquently and powerfully address the HIV/AIDS crisis  
> and all of its complexities. That historically important body of  
> work has been shown extensively in group shows in Boston, New York  
> and beyond.  The occurring themes in that work, mostly due to his  
> masterful use of found objects, are echoes of the past- both  
> personal and historic, collective memory, the need for action, and  
> the sense of loss and longing. In his first solo show in 20 years,  
> Reynolds continues to explore many of those themes. Gone, however,  
> from this work is the overt presence of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the  
> call to activism. This new body of work allows the viewer to have a  
> more personal and multilevel read on the works. Reynolds states,  
> "Some pieces combine objects in an exploration of memory, historic  
> and invented; while other works provide a context for the  
> consideration of keep sakes...this installation consists of  
> nineteenth and twentieth century objects and memorabilia. I have  
> created this installation in hopes of inviting the viewer to  
> consider this valuable reconnection to ones own personal past,  
> keepsakes, private self, the sacred journey and to pause in their  
> company" Reynolds has shown his work at the MFA, the ICA, the  
> Somerville Museum, the Boston Center for the Arts, the Fuller  
> Museum. His work is in the permanent collection of the MFA. In June  
> 2006 his work was featured in Above and Beyond, an invitational  
> group show sponsored by the History Project at the Jorge Hernadez  
> Cultural Center.

> In the Office Gallery–Anyahlee Suderman (Arlington, MA) for her  
> first one person gallery show, Infant Dreams, has created a new  
> body of painting-based work that contains assemblage and collage  
> elements.  Her work shares several overlapping concerns as  
> Reynolds' work- the use of signifying key imagery, elements of  
> assemblage (manifesting in the use of collage), and the need for  
> the viewer to stop and think in multiple ways and not look for the  
> quick sound bite to tell them what to think and/or feel.  Her new  
> colorful works asks the viewer to examine themselves, the world  
> around them, and their role with future of our collective being.  
> She states, "Infant Dreams explores the innocence, displacement,  
> and our distraction from the essential by drawing parallels between  
> immediate attraction and human tragedy....The moon buggy, the  
> fighter jet, the lollipop pop, plastic wrap, science, technology,  
> war, religion, politics, and commerce have all managed to allow for  
> the diminishing concern for sustaining out health on earth. These  
> things are objects of our fantasies and we are collectively stuck  
> in our Infant Dreams."  She has shown her work at such places as  
> the Canvas Art Gallery (DC), Galapagos Arts Center (Brooklyn), and  
> Gallery K (DC). She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Corcoran  
> College of Art and Design.

> In the Media Room–Sean Carroll (Charlestown, MA), in his first  
> solo show, Movement and Sound, is premiering a new work entitled,  
> Cloudscape. In conjunction with this premier, he is also showing  
> several other recent works: SPILL (2005), Secret Garden (2006),  
> Architexture (2006), and Runner’s High (2006). A key signature  
> element in all his works is rapid movement, flashing collaged  
> imagery combined with corresponding intense sound.  Although his  
> work is figuratively anchored in the man made and natural world  
> around us: cityscapes, gardens, sidewalks, and landscapes, it is  
> his editing that makes what seems familiar other worldly and  
> surreal.  He states, "Certain things I see and hear fascinate  
> me...My fascination carries beyond the initial perception. I can't  
> express the depth of these feelings using real-time motion and  
> unaltered sound, so I try to develop new methods of articulation.   
> Sometimes this leads me to dissect the nature of motion on a single- 
> frame level. In some pieces, I exploit the viewers' persistence of  
> vision, by presenting subjects from several angles at once. Through  
> rapid perspective shifts, I attempt to create a moving equivalent  
> to cubism....The harshly colliding frames and violent rhythms I  
> employ are similar to this frustration.   From beginning to end,  
> the development of my pieces is closer to stream of consciousness  
> than to traditional narrative.  Sometimes the work branches into an  
> elaborately imagined tangent, but it always spring from a point of  
> experience."  He has a BFA in Film/Video from Mass College of Art  
> (with Distinction and Departmental Honors). He also received a 2005  
> Honorable Mention from the prestigious Stephen D. Paine Scholarship  
> Award.
