This event will benefit Mobius with an entry charge of $5.
Award-winning Playwright, Poet, Acclaimed Actor, Nehassaiu de Gannes wrote about the Tiki Room:
"Your memoir is achingly beautiful, exquisitely written, and handled with such deftness and depth, it most certainly demonstrates patient self-reflection, mastery of craft and form as well as a literary tenderness. At times the level of remembered detail, the sensory, the natural world---and your ability to find a language capable of containing your internal landscape, in sentences which flow as naturally as breath, is quite stunning. I am in admiration of your work. I am in admiration of your life."
Cathy Vincevic is a recent graduate of Goddard College where she was awarded a M.A.. She has been a member of Mobius since 1994 and has performed here and abroad.

JOHN MARTINO BRINGS AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
IN HIS BLACK AND WHITE SERIES SHOTS ABROAD
AT THE BROOKLINE ARTS CENTER IN JUNE AND JULY
(Brookline, MA – JUNE 5, 2009) When Boston area photographer John Martino made a trip to San Francisco in 1999, the coastal city inspired him to explore beyond the borders of the United States. Standing at the Pacific shore, he started to plan longer trips: west to Asia and east to Europe.
Shots Abroad: International Photography by John Martino, which is on view at the Brookline Arts Center from Thursday, June 18 to Friday, July 17, 2009, presents a selection of black and white photographs from Martino’s voyages across Asia and Europe. A free opening reception with Martino will be held on Thursday, June 18 from 6:00 – 8:00pm.
“When I am out in the streets photographing, I try to notice the details that imply a larger context,” says Martino. “With the camera, I transform my surroundings into an image that is also a work of fiction. The best photographs bring a magical perspective: they cast spells that charm the viewer into attention.”
“We have shown John Martino’s Boston-based photography in previous shows,” says exhibition curator Susan Navarre. "Now, it’s very exciting to see the connections he made with other cultures during his four-month immersion in the cultures of Asia. And always, John’s stunning black and white prints are filled with the rich hues and detail of traditional photography on film.”
Martino lives near the Brookline Arts Center, in the Fenway neighborhood. He is from the Pittsburgh area and has a Ph.D. in English from West Virginia University. Martino’s work has been collected by the Boston Public Library and the New England School of Photography, and was featured in one-person exhibitions at the Eclipse Gallery, Stairwell Gallery and the Massachusetts State House in Boston; and McQuade Art Gallery, Olin Gallery, Khaki Gallery and Village Art Gallery elsewhere in Massachusetts.
Shots Abroad is on view Monday through Friday from 9:00am – 4:30 pm. The Brookline Arts Center is located at 86 Monmouth St., at the corner of St. Mary’s Street, and is convenient to public transportation and wheelchair accessible.

About Mobius:
Mobius (est. 1977) is a non-profit, artist-run organization, whose mission is to generate, shape and test experimental art. The members of the organization believe an effective strategy for supporting this art is to establish grounds that build relationships among fellow artists. Mobius is committed to structuring environments that foster projects incorporating a wide range of disciplines. This approach sets in motion situations where the artist's impact can be seen locally, nationally and internationally. Constructing art initiatives outside accepted frameworks and encouraging animated discourse with the public are fundamental to Mobius.
Founded by Marilyn Arsem in 1977, Mobius is known for incorporating a wide range of the visual, performing, and media arts into innovative live performance, video, installation and intermedia works. Mobius has produced hundreds of original works that have attained critical acclaim in Boston, nationally and internationally. Works created at Mobius have been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Mobius, Inc is funded by the Tanne Foundation; the Nonsequitur Foundation; the Boston Redevelopment Authority; the LEF Foundation; the Boston Cultural Council, a municipal agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; Foundation for Contemporary Arts;
the Oedipus Foundation; and generous private support.
