Shared spaces in tension

“I Doubled My Sleep Shirts When We Met’’ (house paint and oils on vinyl), by Hilary Tait Norod, in her March 5-30 show, “If You’re a Chair, I’m a Chair,” in the Chandler Gallery at Maud Morgan Arts in Cambridge. The gallery says:

“The exhibition investigates the dichotomy of two individuals joining in marriage or domestic partnership and their shared spaces. Its explores the romantic tensions of a loving relationship with an autobiographical and feminist lens, utilizing a thinking-as-making process to navigate gender roles, and familial and societal expectations of partnership. The title represents two conversations I hope to foster in the work. Love = the desire and commitment to your forever person and the balance of gender equity in relationships today. ‘‘

Vortex of thought

’’Thoughts and dreams don't simply appear in our heads, though they often feel sudden and random. Instead, they travel from one part of our brains to another, creating a path of neurons and reactions that ends in our consciousness.’’

"‘The title refers to both my central interest in the mind, particularly memory, and to my materials,"‘ she explained.

'Organisms swirling around'

 
The show of Susan Heideman and Michelle Lougee runs through Sept. 7 at the Chandler Gallery at Maud Morgan Arts, Cambridge, Mass.

The gallery says:

"The focus of Michelle Lougee's and Susan Heideman's art is the dazzling interplay of organisms swirling around and within us. Inside/outside; plant/animal/mineral; micro/macro; we explore and confound the connections, contradictions, and borders among organic forms. From the high-speed acrobatic maneuvers of cell proteins to the swelling of larval cocoons, we aim to reveal the drama of these quotidian yet imagination-defying entities.''

Very New England raw material
