The UMass Lowell Department of Art & Design is thrilled to present —GRAPHIES, which will be on view from January 21–March 8. There will be artist talks on Thursday, January 30 from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Smith Ballroom of Coburn Hall at 850 Broadway Street in Lowell. A reception will follow in the University Gallery in Mahoney Hall from 5-6:30 p.m.
—GRAPHIES is a repository of nine studies in context and connection. Leveraging a range of media, each artist records and represents their personal —graphy, exposing a memory, observation or daily experience that calls for a closer look.
Critical exploration of old monuments meets the analysis of a new mom’s wardrobe. A study of family names parallels unanswered questions about the meaning of home. Moon-like rock sculptures find new context alongside documentation of the fight to preserve a community garden, and abstracted landscapes contrast patterned knits.
