BOSTON FIRST FRIDAY OPEN STUDIOS - July 2, 2010

I would like to invite you to First Friday Open Studios this Friday, July 2nd, from 5-9 pm., at 450 Harrison Ave., Studio 227, Boston, MA. Please note- The studios WILL be open the Friday of July 4th weekend, so if you're not already out of town, this is a great time to come in!

I have completely re-done my studio, and now have much more display space with new lighting and many new framed prints; I hope you'll come and see them. Also this month, in addition to new prints from my personal collection, I will continue to feature newly restored photographs of early 20th century China from the archive of my Grandfather, William Leete. Finally, I will have new examples of client work, both photography and Fine-Art reproductions.

As always on First Fridays, the building's 15 galleries and more than 50 artists' studios will be open. This Friday, if you want to avoid the early evening crush in the galleries, come upstairs to the studios first, and visit the galleries on your way out. You may also want to finish the evening with a dinner reservation at one of the great restaurants in the area (and I can help with recommendations).

There is off street parking at 500 Harrison Avenue as well as on street parking. The MBTA Silver Line stop is East Berkeley, just one block away.

See you this Friday!

Tuesday, June 22, 2010, 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Neville Place driveway, 650 Concord Avenue

If you can’t bear to get up at dawn to look at birds, this walk is for you. Just as people take advantage of the longest days of the year to continue their outdoor activities, so do birds. They need the extra hours of daylight to forage for food for their hungry babies. Beginning birders are welcome. We have binoculars to lend and will show you how to use them.

Please register for each event that you plan to attend: You will receive directions and information on parking in response to your registration. E-mail Elizabeth Wylde at: friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com. These events are FREE and open to the public. Children are welcome in the company of an adult.

BRINGING NATURE HOME: A LECTURE BY AUTHOR DOUGLAS TALAMY - June 10, 2010

Thursday, June 10, 6:30 to 8:30 pm

Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge

Doug Tallamy, Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, has done groundbreaking work on the role of insects as intermediaries in the food web, discovering the extent to which exotic plants, even if they are not invasive, host relatively few insects. His work reveals how important it is to restore native plant communities if we are to reverse the declines in migrating songbirds, butterfly populations, and biodiversity as a whole. Tallamy makes an urgent plea about the importance of native plants to our landscapes, and indeed, to our survival. And he embraces the importance of land stewardship throughout urban and suburban America as critical components of this effort. Co-sponsored with Grow Native Cambridge.

WELLFLEET ART EXHIBITION - June 24 - Jul 12, 2010

Malden artist Sand T exhibits new works at FARM Project Space and Gallery in Wellfleet from June 24 through July 12, 2010. A reception with the artist has been scheduled for Saturday, June 26, from 6 – 8pm at FARM located at 15 Commercial Street in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Public is cordially invited to attend.

Sand T's solo exhibit Breathing Sublimity, consists of a series of epoxy resin art objects utilizing the fundamental visual elements of dot, line, color, surface and light. Sand T creates work that contains a fluidity that virtually breathes on the wall. Minimal and meditative, the work is a multi-sensorial experience. The artist utilizes a combination of UV resistant epoxy resin, graphite, and paint on archival tempered clayboard panels

“Sand’s work appears grid-like and systematic, yet each work is so individual. As clean and sharp as the art objects appear, there is a very emotional quality to them, as one can literally see their reflection in the work and also lose oneself in it.” , expresses FARM Director Susie Nielsen.

Originally from Malacca, Malaysia, Sand T now lives in Malden, Massachusetts. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University and the Museum School. She has received numerous awards including the most recent, the 2009 New England Art Award from the New England Journal of Aesthetic Research in February 2010.

Though Sand T’s work is a fresh face on the visual art scene, it has been shown in many exhibitions nationally and internationally, most recently; at ParisCONCRET in Paris, France; Grimshaw-Gudewicz Art Gallery in Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts; SNO Contemporary Art Projects in Sydney, Australia; and TAKSU Gallery in Singapore.

“Sand T’s work invokes investigation from different views and angles. It makes your senses react, you wonder if you hear the air bubbles moving, breathing.” Nielsen states, “The layers of graphite lines and the “bubbles” (resin droplets) add different layers and levels of complexity to each piece.”

Sand T says, "Lighting plays a very important role in the presentation of my work, for it maximizes the viewing experience. When viewers examine the artwork closely, they will see a sequence of lights and reflections on the surface of the work, as well as the three dimensions space created inside the work.”

Sand T’s works have recently been added to the permanent collection of the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, her home country. Her work is part of numerous public and private collections worldwide, including Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong.


FARM is a project space and gallery located at 15 Commercial Street in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. FARM focuses on exhibiting contemporary process driven art, is also a graphic design studio and continues to be involved in education. Gallery hours are 11 – 6 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; 11 – 8 on Saturday and by appointment. The Gallery is closed on Tuesday. For more information about FARM, please contact Susie Nielsen, gallery director at susie@farmisfarm.com, call 617-650-9800, or visit website http://farmisfarm.com/ and blogsite http://farmgallery.blogspot.com/.

BROOKLINE ARTS CENTER EXHIBITION - June 4 - July 23, 2010

Brookline, MA -- June 1, 2010) Sridevi Thumati says her new series of work began the moment she entered motherhood. Just as an artist thinks of the artwork as “her baby”, Thumati’s baby became the source of a new series of work.

The photographic artworks that she calls “Heart on the Sleeve” combine digital photography with the rich indigo blues of the cyanotype method. The cyanotype method is a photographic printing process that creates two-color prints in white and a bright cyan blue. The blueprints that engineers and architects use are created with the same method.

The “Heart on the Sleeve” series is on view at the Brookline Arts Center from June 4 through July 23, 2010. There will be an opening reception for Sridevi Thumati’s “Heart on the Sleeve” on Saturday, June 19 from 5-7pm. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.

“With motherhood, I display my feelings frankly and openly,” says the artist. “This body of work represents my willingness to accept my role as a mother, while I also attempt to hold onto every shred of who I was before I became a mother.”

Thumati divides her time between fine art photography and portraiture; she was trained in New Delhi, India and Rockport, Maine. Now a resident of Medford, Massachusetts, Thumati has also worked as a freelance photographer in Mumbai, India.

“Sridevi uses photography as a method of exploring personal and societal dilemmas, whether she is in India or in Boston and whether the subject is herself or a client,” according to Susan Navarre, executive director of the Brookline Arts Center.

The Brookline Arts Center is located at 86 Monmouth Street, at the corner of St. Mary’s Street and accessible by MBTA train or bus. It is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.brooklineartscenter.com

or call 617-566-5715.
