Distimacy
Camel Art Space
Group exhibition featuring the work of: Catherine Stack, Corinne Kamiya, Jeremy Roby, Matt Murphy, and Tim Bearse.
Opening Reception, Friday February 12, 6 - 9pm
February 12 - 28, 2010
Distance and intimacy offer a range of perspectives toward viewing a work of art. There is the intended view of the artist that has been internalized through the working process and there is the reality of presentation, psychology, education, and past experience that the viewer brings to the work. Many times proposed intimacy can invite an uncomfortable response of distance from one party or another not wanting the responsibility intimacy needs. There is also the physicality of scale. Sometimes it is the small things that invite this intimacy, while sometimes it is the larger works that envelope and consume one toward experiential inwardness. The works in this exhibition on one level or another engages distance and intimacy, while occasionally embodying both.
In all of these works distance is what we have when we come to the work. Intimacy is what we give to it by participating in it and internalizing it. All of this takes place in space, through the eyes, and in the mind. The distance grows smaller as we approach the work and greater when we disengage from it. These artists deploy their visions within this field and bring to it a range of ideas about perception, meaning, content and form. This diversity is intended as is a challenge to a superficial grouping of appearances.

BEG BORROW STEAL An Unauthorized Use of the LaMontagne Gallery
On View: August 15 - 29, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 15, 6 - 8 PM
In these trying economic times, continuity often demands a hit to ones pride, or a duck from moral standards. BEG BORROW STEAL assembles the work of a variety of emerging artists who embrace theft and appropriation as key elements in their creative process. No artist works in a vacuum, all are reliant on imagery and concepts taken from outside sources. From the constant flow of contemporary pop culture, to the long history of artistic creation, to the inflated production of the economy, these artists depend on a constant exchange of ideas, materials, and conceptual stimuli to fuel their work. Several pieces found in BEG BORROW STEAL incorporate donated or cannibalized resources: a grandmother’s excess yarn, a friend’s vacation photographs, or trash left along the side of a street. BEG BORROW STEAL artists recycle pre-existing aesthetics from various sources including, classic cartoons, country western stars, or a pair of jeans. Conceptually these artists thrive on what has preceded them, as wells as that which surrounds them. The artists of BEG BORROW STEAL employ consumption as a means of making, and in doing so participate in the complexly of the current social and economic condition.
BEG BORROW STEAL is a group show of 28 young artists, juried and curated by Aaron M. Segal, a MassART graduate. Aaron is currently the art preparator of the LaMontagne Gallery. His objective for the show was to organize a group of peers, who may at this point in their careers still have limited access to commercial galleries, and give them the opportunity to show in one of Boston's best. In the spirit of the show, the LaMontagne Gallery has been begged borrowed and stolen while Russell LaMontagne is on vacation, hopefully he won't mind.
Contributing Artists:
Aimee Belanger, Octavia Bennet, Brian Butler, Michelle Carter, Cydney Cnossen, Corey Corcoran, Ryan Crowley, Terrence Gaidamovcio, GJYD, Jes Hughes, Vanessa Irzyk, Victoria Jacob, Alex Jacobson, Ian Jeffrey, Michelle Livingston, Melissa McGorty, Matthew Mosher, Monica Nydam, Chloe Reison, Jeremy Roby, Camden Segal, Catherine Stack, Wayne Stoke, Noelle Teague, Jena Thomas, Brian Wilmont, Amy Yoshitsu, Michael Zachary
Founded in 2007, LaMontagne Gallery is a 2,300 square foot exhibition space located in South Boston on East Second Street. Russell LaMontagne was previously Co-Founder of LFL Gallery in New York City.
Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Saturday, 12 - 6 pm, Tuesday by appointment
