SUMMARY:Thin Places: Thresholds of Transmission
DESCRIPTION: Thin Places: Thresholds of Transmission  \n\n\n\nSeptember 15 – December 12\, 2026  \n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary\, Media Art Gallery\, Boston\, MA  \n\n\n\nSabrina Ratté\, PLANE of INCIDENCE\, Single-channel video (still)\, 2024.\n\n\n\nThin Places: Thresholds of Transmission brings together works by Beatrice Glow\, Megan and Murray McMillan\, and Sabrina Ratté that explore the unstable boundaries between object-hood and atmosphere\, material presence and ephemeral experience. Across sculpture\, moving image\, and installation\, the exhibition considers how contemporary artistic practices are shaped by forms of ecological\, technological\, cosmic\, and sensory transmissions that exceed fixed or stable material states.  \n\n\n\nThe artists included in the exhibition approach matter not as static substance\, but as dynamic process: something continuously shifting across thresholds of visibility\, perception\, and relation. Astrophysical systems\, environmental histories\, speculative fictions and digital simulations become intertwined fields through which viewers encounter forms that are at once tactile and immaterial\, intimate and planetary. Across the exhibition\, distinctions between the virtual and the physical\, the speculative and the real\, are in doubt.  \n\n\n\nBeatrice Glow\, Textures of Time\, single channel video\, 2025. \n\n\n\nBeatrice Glow’s materially grounded installations trace the movement of cultural\, ecological\, and historical forces across global systems of exchange\, connecting sensory experience with environmental transmutation. Megan and Murray McMillan’s sculptural and video-practice translates cosmic and environmental phenomena into embodied spatial encounters\, activating relationships between gravity\, perception and physical form. Sabrina Ratté’s speculative digital environments imagine hybrid ecologies in which technological systems and organic forms merge into continuously evolving atmospheric worlds. \n\n\n\nMegan and Murray McMillan\, This Collapsed and Expanding Breath\, Three-Channel Video Installation\, 2025. Installtion view\, The Jamestown Art Center. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Emerson Contemporary for an artist reception celebrating Thin Places: Threshold of Transmission\, featuring Beatrice Glow\, Megan and Murray McMillan\, and Sabrina Ratté. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition explores moments when the boundaries between different worlds become less certain\, between past and present\, physical and digital\, human and machine\, and earth and cosmos. Through sculpture\, video\, installation\, and interactive media\, the artists consider how we move between different realms of experience and how technologies\, both ancient and new\, help us make those crossings. \n\n\n\nMeet the artists and experience the exhibition during this opening reception. All are welcome. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:BRIGHT MOVES: Digital Art in Motion
DESCRIPTION:BRIGHT MOVES: Digital Art in Motion \n\n\n\nThe Paramount Center will once again become a large-scale live digital canvas with the return of public contemporary art in Downtown Crossing. The presentation\, BRIGHT MOVES: Digital Art in Motion\, features digital artwork by three Boston-area artists who are pushing the boundaries of the medium in experimental\, unexpected\, and distinctly personal ways. \n\n\n\nBeginning September 23\, 2026\, Emerson Contemporary will showcase newly commissioned works by Yue Hua\, Jeffu Warmouth\, and Allison Tanenhaus. The works will animate the façade of the iconic Paramount Center on Washington Street\, transforming a prominent architectural surface in the heart of Boston’s Theater District into a dynamic platform for contemporary art. The last time the Paramount was used as a digital canvas was in 2019. The canvas was restored this February with donor funding.  \n\n\n\nCurated by James Manning\, Exhibitions Manager at Emerson Contemporary\, BRIGHT MOVES brings together three artists whose practices demonstrate the extraordinary range and creative potential of digital art. While each artist approaches technology and moving image differently\, all three share an interest in experimentation and in using digital tools to create experiences that challenge expectations about what art can be and where it can be encountered. \n\n\n\n“This project is about recognizing the artists who are doing some of the most interesting and inventive work with digital media right here in Boston\,” says Manning. “Yue Hua\, Jeffu Warmouth\, and Allison Tanenhaus each have very different practices\, but they share a willingness to experiment and to take digital art in unexpected directions. The Paramount canvas gives us an opportunity to bring that work into the public realm at a scale that is impossible to experience in a traditional gallery.” \n\n\n\nTogether\, the artists create a vibrant and eclectic encounter with digital art\, one that embraces movement\, color\, light\, humor\, experimentation\, and surprise. The presentation also extends Emerson Contemporary’s mission to bring contemporary art beyond the traditional gallery and into direct conversation with the public. As a teaching gallery at Emerson College\, Emerson Contemporary explores emerging forms of artistic practice while creating opportunities for students\, faculty\, and the wider community to encounter artists working at the forefront of contemporary culture. \n\n\n\nAbout the Artists \n\n\n\nYue Hua\, an Emerson College MFA alum and faculty\, is a filmmaker and multimedia artist whose practice moves between film\, expanded cinema\, digital media\, motion graphics\, and installation. Her work investigates perception\, identity\, memory\, and the relationship between moving images and physical space. Her experimental approach to the moving image makes her work particularly well suited to a platform that exists between cinema\, architecture\, and public space. \n\n\n\nJeffu Warmouth is a conceptual artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses photography\, video\, sculpture\, animation\, and interactive media. Known for his playful and often humorous approach\, Warmouth uses digital technologies to explore perception\, contradiction\, and the unexpected relationships between ordinary things. His work has been presented extensively in Boston and beyond\, including on large-scale public LED displays. \n\n\n\nAllison Tanenhaus is a Boston-based artist whose practice explores digital media\, technology\, public space\, and collective experience. Her work frequently transforms architectural environments through color\, movement\, and immersive digital imagery. With projects presented on large-scale LED displays and other public platforms\, Tanenhaus has developed a distinctive practice around bringing digital art into the everyday visual landscape of the city.

SUMMARY:Textures of Time: Artist Talk by Beatrice Glow
DESCRIPTION:Textures of Time: Artist Talk by Beatrice Glow \n\n\n\nJoin Emerson Contemporary for an artist talk with Beatrice Glow\, whose research-driven practice explores how histories of empire\, migration\, trade\, and cultural exchange continue to shape the present. Doors open at 6pm\, talk starts at 6:30pm. \n\n\n\nGlow will discuss Textures of Time\, currently on view in Thin Places\, as well as her broader practice\, which begins in archives\, museum collections\, and field research. Working across sculpture\, installation\, video\, performance\, and scent\, Glow transforms historical research into sensory and speculative experiences that invite us to reconsider whose histories are preserved\, how they are remembered\, and how they might be imagined differently. \n\n\n\nAn American artist of Taiwanese heritage\, Glow works in sustained collaboration with Indigenous culture bearers\, researchers\, and museum collections across Asia\, the Americas\, and Europe. Her projects have been presented at The New York Historical\, Baltimore Museum of Art\, Western Australia Shipwrecks Museum\, Park Avenue Armory\, and the Honolulu Biennial\, among others. \n\n\n\nIn conversation with Thin Places\, Glow will consider how objects can carry histories across time and how archives\, digital technologies\, and artistic imagination can become thresholds between past and present. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. Location: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, Ma

SUMMARY:How Do You Imagine the Universe? Artists Megan and Murray McMillan in conversation with Astrophysicist Gonzalo Herrera Moreno
DESCRIPTION:Join Emerson Contemporary for a conversation between artists Megan and Murray McMillan and astrophysicist Gonzalo Herrera Moreno\, a Neutrino Theory Network Fellow at MIT and Harvard. Co-hosted by creativity@emerson.  Doors open at 6pm\, talk starts at 6:30pm. \n\n\n\nAt the heart of their conversation is a shared question: How do creativity and imagination help us understand what we cannot directly see or experience? The McMillans’ This Collapsed and Expanding Breath (2025–26) draws on stellar collapse\, supernovae\, gravity\, and pulsars\, transforming complex scientific concepts into an imaginative\, multisensory experience. Herrera Moreno’s research similarly asks us to imagine phenomena at scales and distances far beyond everyday human experience. \n\n\n\nBringing artistic and scientific practices into dialogue\, the conversation will explore how artists and scientists use curiosity\, intuition\, models\, experimentation\, and imagination to investigate the unknown and how creative thinking can open new ways of seeing and understanding our universe. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. Location: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, Ma

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK Sabrina Ratté: "Geomancies"
DESCRIPTION:DOOORS OPEN AT 6PM  \n\n\n\nJoin artist Sabrina Ratté for an artist talk exploring her multidisciplinary practice at the intersection of digital art\, video\, sculpture\, and emerging technologies. Working with 3D animation\, analog video\, and digital imaging\, Ratté creates digital environments that blur the boundaries between the organic and the artificial\, the physical and the virtual. Her work often evokes speculative landscapes and alternative realities\, inviting viewers to consider how technology shapes our perceptions of space\, memory\, and the natural world. \n\n\n\nFor Sabrina Ratté\, the digital image is a malleable medium through which new environments and imagined realities can emerge. Working with 3D animation\, analog video synthesizers\,photogrammetry\, and other digital imaging techniques\, she approaches technology as both a creative tool and a way of exploring our evolving relationship with the world. Her practice takes shape across a variety of formats\, including video\, sculpture\, prints\, virtual reality\, andimmersive or interactive installations. \n\n\n\nIn this artist talk\, Ratté will trace the evolution of her practice\, from her early experiments with electronic signals and analog video to the development of increasingly complex digitalenvironments. Through a chronological presentation of selected works\, she will discuss how her artistic methods have evolved alongside her interests in speculative landscapes\, the convergence of technology and biology\, and the shifting boundaries between physical and virtual spaces. The talk will offer insight into the ideas\, processes\, and technical explorations that shape her work and inform her visions of possible futures.
