Part Curiosity, Part Vision September 7, 2011

The Thompson Gallery at The Cambridge School of Weston (CSW) is pleased to present “Part Curiosity, Part Vision,” an exhibit that explores the school’s convictions about learning, process, and product through the work of five alumni artists.

“Part Curiosity, Part Vision,” which opens Sept. 7 and will run through Nov. 9, is the first exhibit in a three-part series titled, Boundless Ambition, a theme that celebrates CSW's 125-year history. An opening reception with the artists will be held at the gallery Sept. 9, 4-7 p.m. A gallery talk with gallery director, Todd Bartel, will be held at the gallery Oct. 1, 1-2 p.m.

This is the first time that acclaimed Los Angeles-based sculptor, Matt Johnson ’96, a New York Times Critic’s Pick in 2004, whose work has appeared in solo and group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, London, Prague, Paris and Tokyo, will show his work in Boston.

The exhibit also features the work of Darcy Brennan Poor ’99, whose prints and drawings have been featured in Boston, New York, and other cities; Florida-based artist Deborah Goldman ’65, whose work explores the importance and obsession of counting; New York-based painter Carmelle Safdie ’00; and printmaker Dan Wood ’88, a critic at the Rhode Island School of Design who incorporates found objects into his print work.
