Multidisciplinary installation\, painting\, paper cut-outs\, video mapping\, sound Sound score by Slamber Slusser. \n\n\n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary – Emerson College’s platform for presenting contemporary visual art – proudly presents Echoes of the Heart: The New England Media Art Biennial\, a multimedia juried group exhibition featuring New England visual artists Clint Baclawski\, Erik DeLuca\, Iwalani Kaluhiokalani\, Justin Levesque\, VHF Studios\, and Karlie Zhao. The exhibition is on view in the Media Art Gallery at 25 Avery Street from July 29- December 13 \, 2025\, free and open to the public Tuesday – Saturday\, 12-6 pm.  \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew media art now encompasses traditional film and digital video\, as well as a wide range of technology\, from AI to hand-built radio\, representing an exciting and rapidly expanding genre in the contemporary art world. Yet\, there are few venues for emerging and mid-career video artists to showcase their work in New England. This biennial aims to expand these opportunities for the region and celebrate artists with financial and technical support and the opportunity to expand and reiterate existing and/or new works. \n\n\n\nArtist Reception\, Thursday\, September 18\, 5-7pm \n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 7\, 6:30- 7:30pm\, 6pm doors. In Conversation: Join artists Justin Levesque and VHF Studio as they discuss their broad ranging practices and what it means to be a practicing artist in our current climates. Location: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\nTuesday October 21\, 6:30- 7:30pm\, 6pm doors In Conversation: Join multidisciplinary installation artist Iwalani Kaluhiokalani and photographer Clint Baclawski as they discuss space\, time\, color and motion in their work. Location: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\nTuesday\, November 4\, 6:30- 7:30pm\, 6pm doors In Conversation: Join artists Erik DeLuca and Wenran Zhao as they speak with Emerson professor and sound artist Amber Vistein to discuss experimentation\, sonic textures and the art of presence. \n\n\n\nOur artist centered public programming is supported by The Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts. \n\n\n\nClint Baclawski is creating a new photographic sculptural installation part of his ongoing scroll series to consider the photographic impulse to capture the landscape as combined with the presentation strategies of advertising. Erik DeLuca is creating an interactive technology based object exploring silence and sound entitled White Spaces Radio. Iwalani Kaluhiokalani will combine innovative projection-mapping and sound to activate a challenging architectural area in the gallery’s entryway. Justin Levesque will reimagine his multimedia wall installation Geographical Problems for the Emerson space. VHF Studios will present a new iteration of their cheerfully riotous multi-media sculptural installation\, Narcissus Looks Back: and They Love You. Karlie Zhao will create a site-specific piece for the windows facing Avery Street\, and display her delicate\, evocative piece Thread in the Air\, which infinitely generates poetic texts through audience interaction. \n\n\n\nJuried by Distinguished Curator-in-Residence Leonie Bradbury\, Curator of Special Projects Shana Dumont Garr\, and visual artist and curator Allison Maria Rodriguez\, this exhibition recognizes the importance of contemporary new media art being created across the Northeast. Of the experience jurying\, Allison Maria Rodriguez said: \n\n\n\n“It’s been such an honor to be included in this process. It can sometimes feel like New England is dominated by more traditional artistic mediums – and that may be true – but it was so thrilling to see all the incredible new media artists working in the area that submitted to this call. The jury had a real challenge – in the best way! It proved that opportunities like this to showcase artists working in art and technology are so greatly needed\, not only to support individual practices\, but also to expand the conversation in the broader arts  ecosystem – and I’m so grateful to the folks at Emerson Contemporary for making this happen!”

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Sue Murad and Shana Dumont Garr
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 18 from 6:30 – 7:30pm\, 6pm doors open \n\n\n\nArtist Sue Murad shares about her ASSEMBLE walking tour with Curator Shana Dumont Garr. Based in the Boston Common\, Murad’s part of the Hidden Histories walking tour is inspired by the archival photos of people spending time together in the park from the nineteenth century to the present. Murad created a series of prompts to celebrate the right to peacefully assemble and create a temporal micro-culture for each group during the tour. \n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA \n\n\n\nSue Murad\, ASSEMBLE\, Reimagined Historic Walking Tours in Boston Common\, 2025.\n\n\n\nShana Dumont Garr is a contemporary art curator\, writer\, and educator based in Greater Boston. She is a curator at Emerson Contemporary and a professor in the Department of Visual & Media Arts at Emerson College. She is also curating the independent project NO SLEEPING\, a nomadic\, participatory series of performances by Sue Murad and Deb Todd Wheeler at select historic houses in Massachusetts. Garr is a doctoral student at the Institute of Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts. She earned her MA in Art History from Boston University and her BA in Creative Writing and Art from Colby College in Waterville\, ME. \n\n\n\nSue Murad responds to culture through an intuitive\, sensory engagement with everyday objects\, often in the public or private places they inhabit. Through a combination of attention\, study\, and play\, she may alter\, arrange\, and choreograph a subject\, or set up situations where change and chance happen without direct contact\, such as a subject melting\, falling\, or sliding. She is drawn to both semblance and difference\, and the strange and surreal synthesis that can occur with comparison and contrast. Disregarding notions of usefulness\, common meaning\, and prescribed narratives\, these formal and philosophical explorations feed her interdisciplinary practice of performance\, installation\, sculpture\, collage\, and film.
