SUMMARY:Emerson Contemporary Presents: MOVEMENT/S
DESCRIPTION:A student-curated lens-based exhibition that explores the dynamic between motion and stillness in an ever-changing world. \n\n\n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary presents MOVEMENT/S\, a student-curated lens-based exhibition that explores the dynamic between motion and stillness in an ever-changing world. On view in the Media Art Gallery from April 12 through May 3\, 2025. From a thematic regional call\, the student-curators selected 14 boundary-pushing artists and several pieces per series to show a fuller picture. The exhibition showcases a broad range of media by emerging artists in the Greater Boston area and includes photography\, both analog and digital\, photo sculpture/installation\, interactive video and projection\, 3D scanning\, and experimental animation. \n\n\n\nFederal Street by Jeff Larson\n\n\n\nMOVEMENT/S examines the dynamic between motion and stillness in an ever-changing world. The artists explore movement in its many forms—whether physical\, political\, emotional\, or abstract—capturing moments of transition\, disruption\, and transformation. Some works focus on the personal\, reflecting on internal shifts and psychological states\, while others expand outward\, documenting collective action and societal upheaval. Through photography and lens-based media\, this exhibition invites both artists and audiences to reconsider how we navigate periods of flux\, confront stagnation\, and ultimately move forward. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition was curated by 14 Emerson undergraduate students as part of a Visual Media Arts course\, “Curating Contemporary Art\,” taught and led by Leslie K. Brown\, PhD. \n\n\n\nProgrammingOpening Reception: Friday\, April 11\, 4-6:00pmStudent Lighting Talks: Friday\, April 18\, 12:00pmLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, MA 02111Emerging student curators include: Izzy Astuto\, Emma Carr\, Avery Cather\, Helen ChauNguyen\, Vincent Chen\, Kaileigh Clark\, Bea Downey\, Jordan Marshall\, Madeleine Kendris\,Yinuo Liu\, Maggie Luo\, Zachary Olivadese\, Sara Valentine\, Huajun ZhangFeatured Artists: Duygu Aytac (Boston\, MA)Mia Cassidy (Boston\, MA)Caleb Cole (Maynard\, MA)Raquel Fornasaro (Newton Center\, MA)Amy Giese (Allston\, MA)Camilla Jerome (Nahant\, MA)Jeff Larason (Sudbury\, MA)Jiayi Ma (Boston\, MA)Chris Maliga (Roslindale\, MA)Joetta Maue (Somerville\, MA)Marcos Quinones (Emerson/NYC\, NY)Anastasia Sierra (Cambridge\, MA)Vivian Tran (Roxbury Crossing\, MA)Mason Vaughan (Boston\, MA)

SUMMARY:The Colors of You & Me by Elise Guzmán
DESCRIPTION:Elise is a Caribbean\, queer writer and artist with her work focused around love\, memory\, andpeople’s connections with one another. Her writing is primarily poetry and non-fiction alsocentered around these themes as well as nature and culture\, specifically within theSpanish-speaking Caribbean diaspora. Her current exhibition\, The Colors of You and Me\, is amultimedia installation of audio\, poetry\, and collage to explore memory and nostalgia through the use of color and what that evokes for ourselves. \n\n\n\nThe Colors of You & Me comprise the following sections: \n\n\n\nSunjoy:This work is a multimedia installation with a tent-like structure in the center and a videoprojected on the wall\, along with the audio of a poem in the background. The poem\, Sunjoy\, is a piece centered around joy as an act of resistance to harm that we face both in our society and internal world. It is to remind us of the mundane activities in our day to day lives that keep us whole and promote care. The video plays small 5-10 second clips of moments in nature or human interactions like the wind moving through tree branches\, waves crashing on the sand\, or people crossing the street for the viewer to take a moment and breathe. As we grow older\, our joy towards the little moments dims. We ignore the colors in our lives and rush to our next destination. However\, I reject that possibility. I will continue to find the delights in the little things like I am experiencing life for the first time. So I’d like you\, the viewer\, to sit down and enjoy it with me. \n\n\n\nMemoryscape:This work is a collage of images from different pieces of media and as well as my culture as aCaribbean-American from early childhood to my present young adult life. At some point\, some moment of growing up\, the vibrancy in our lives turns bleak\, but it is not a permanent reality. The presence of nostalgia is so prevalent in Gen Z\, we are constantly in search of obtaining that heartwarming feeling again. Whether that is from collecting trinkets from our childhood or rejecting modernity with our technology. This collage is a way to showcase the transitions of color that we experience from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. Holding images of 2000’s cartoons\, toys\, cosmetic products\, traditional Dominican meals\, and more. It’s also a glimpse into my world as a queer woman of color and how culture influences that color. The viewer may discover that we share some similarities. \n\n\n\nFuture Lives\, Past Lives\, The Possibilities:This poem is a piece of memory and hope for what time can hold. Although I describe mypossible future with dark colors\, it still contains so much love for my best friend who I haveknown for eight years and counting. It holds the possibility that we grow old together as Blackpeople in America and we can rest. The poem holds the idea that the dark\, muted colors are notalways a problem\, sometimes that is just how we see life in a moment. I’m not one to thinkahead into the future\, because I can’t always visualize it and when I do\, it’s explosive. \n\n\n\nElise will be receiving her BFA in Creative Writing with a concentration in poetry as well as a minor in Art History in May 2025. She plans to return to her home in Brooklyn\, NY where she will continue to create art and new connections with other artists.
