MOVEMENT/s
a student-curated lens-based exhibition that explores the dynamic between motion and stillness in an ever-changing world.
On view April 11 – MAY 3, 2025
We are Emerson College’s platform for showcasing contemporary visual art.
Our focus is on presenting living artists, their ideas, experiments, and creative practices in the areas of media art, performance art, and emergent technologies, while critically examining these works in their social context. Our in-depth engagement with the temporary exhibitions and related public programming is based on the principle that artistic practice is an intellectual activity and works of art are a form of knowledge production. Furthermore, we believe that art is essential in society as it creates dialog, asks questions, and brings people together. At Emerson Contemporary we believe that art, in fact, can help change society.
