ABERRATION: Sculptures by Alex Buchanan
JULY 27 - OCTOBER 27
Alex Buchanan's sculptures transform discarded materials like retired tugboat ropes, construction scraps, and iron rods into art. He challenges us to see the beauty and purpose in these materials, suggesting our waste problem stems from not valuing them beyond their initial use. The patinas and wear tell their stories, making them tactile and aesthetically rich, honoring their industrial origins while highlighting the beauty of marine culture.
THIS IS NOT WHO I AM
The Art and Design of David Arruda, Jr.
SEPTEMBER 12 - DECEMBER 1
A striking and thoughtful combination of commercial high-tech advertising, jazz concert posters, music CD package designs, and a wide range of photographs make up this deep dive into the work of David Arruda, Jr. The title expresses David’s antipathy to being in the spotlight.
The exhibition surveys the output of a thinker, designer, and photographer who shared his eye with a varied audience, sometimes practical, offbeat, or quirky, and sometimes just himself.
