SUMMARY:A Conversation in a Clearing
DESCRIPTION:Lowell\, MA- The exhibit A Conversation in a Clearing will bring the Tree Speech podcast to life\,\nallowing audiences to engage with a tree\, and reflect on their tangled relationship with nature\nand the environment – as well as their place within a continual lineage of the earth and its\nseasons.\nCombining audio narrative storytelling with a physical representation of a peaceful\, winter\nclearing in the woods\, the immersive installation allows one or two visitors at a time to actively\nrelax\, and settle into a peaceful place where their minds and hearts may feel at ease. This\nenchanted space allows the imagination to be free.\nCo-producer of the podcast and exhibition\, Jonathan Zautner\, states: “Coming into such a busy\ntime of year filled with obligations and duties and hustle\, we wanted to provide a haven where a\nperson could center themselves with trees\, the most grounded things in our world at this time.\nTrees allow us to be truthful with ourselves and can offer insight and by giving people an\nopportunity to sit with one\, even for a short time\, I know that there will be much understanding\nrevealed.”\nThe exhibit will be running at the Storage Closet Gallery at 160 Western Ave\, Floor 2\, in Lowell\nfrom November 5 through December 10\, coinciding with Open Studios from 12-5 pm at Western\nAvenue Lofts and Studios. For more information visit\nwww.westernavenuestudios.com/wa-events.\nCo-producer and host of the podcast Dori Robinson adds: “This is the perfect time of year for\nreflection and hope as we also examine our collective responsibilities as ancestors to the\ngenerations of the future while caring for our communities right now. There is no better\nmetaphor for this important work than to sit with and commune with a tree!”.\nTree Speech Podcast\nPresented by Alight Theater Guild\, the Tree Speech Podcast is a blend of storytelling\,\ninterviews\, and wanderlust at the intersection of the personal\, historical\, and cultural ways that\ntrees impact our lives. Each episode seeks to find new understandings of the tangled\nrelationships we have with the natural world we inhabit through an examination of folklore\,\nhistory\, holidays\, and current events while exploring trees in our conversations around race\,\nreligion\, and resources with people who all share deep connections to them.\nCurator: Antoinette Indge\nParticipating Artist: Dori Robinson and Jonathan Zautner\nCovid-19 Guidelines:\n– Face coverings/masks are not required but recommended since some studios and businesses may require them for admission into their space.\n– Guests who are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or have been instructed to quarantine by a medical professional should not attend.\n– We will have hand sanitation stations throughout the building. There is no charge for this event. This event is dog-friendly. We just ask that you keep your pup on a leash.\n\nVisit the Storage Closet Gallery. Located in the lofts building\, second floor by loft 204.\nShow dates: November 5- December 10\, 2022\nOpen during open studios or by appointment.

SUMMARY:Vibrational Portfolio
DESCRIPTION:Sylv Litz’s show\, Vibrational Portfolio\, represent two distinct bodies of work. In the first group\nof pieces\, created at MICA\, Sylv created a series of wrapped pieces made from upcycled\nmaterials. They were created in difficult personal circumstances but Sylv transformed pain\nand grief into something both radiant and beautiful. These works have the intense beauty of\nbright jewels\, binding up deeply personal themes with a simple poetic grace.\nThe textured acrylic pieces started simply as a way to rediscover joy. By not taking art too\nseriously\, and by allowing the trained eye to emerge only when it felt like doing so\, Sylv freed\ntheir process from the formality of art school. Sylv has created a body of linked thematic\npieces combining multiple techniques. The pieces have a synthetic feel\, but their healing aura\ncame from a purer place of cleansings\, breathwork and moon water.\nThe weaving of ideas and imagery becomes\, for Sylv\, a dance in the act of making. At the\nend of the dance there is release.\nCurator: Antoinette Indge\nParticipating Artist: Sylv Litz\nCovid-19 Guidelines:\n– Face coverings/masks are not required but recommended since some studios and businesses may require them for admission into their space.\n– Guests who are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or have been instructed to quarantine by a medical professional should not attend.\n– We will have hand sanitation stations throughout the building.
