Beard Show

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Emulsion & Aviary Present : BEARD SHOW

As Jesus and Santa battle it out for their annual beard monopoly, as the men occupying Wall Street let their facial hair grow long for warmth and political change, as we enter the cold dark tunnel of New England winter, artists from all over the country unite to bring you a show about... beards. Emulsion Apparel and the Aviary Gallery teamed up with artist Fionn McCabe to organize a showing of more than 25 artists.

Reception from 6pm to 9pm on December first at the Aviary Gallery in Jamaica Plain.

The show will be up from the 1st to the 29th.

A Collection of Bostonia Collectives

“A Collection of Bostonia Collectives” curated by Fish McGill

Those who believe artists can thrive toiling alone in their studio are
living a lie. Today’s success stories feature artists from many mediums
coming together to create projects impossible to conceive on their own.
These collections of collectives around the world team up and tackle large
scale public works of art, museum exhibitions, murals and much more.

Contemporary artists ranging from Friends With You to Jeff Koons to The Yarn
Bombers to Banksy and beyond all work in concert with their teams of
specialists to realize amazing projects. Nobody is going at it alone anymore
especially in the Hub of the Universe, the city with the Dirty Water, The
Capitol of the Commonwealth, the fair city of Boston Massachusetts.

Boston is the proud home of a collection of collectives creating an exciting
body of work. Each of these crews hop over the traditional paths of gallery
representation and getting work into museum collections in favor of silk
screened prints and shirts, live mural painting in new arenas for art, salon
style shows in restaurants and bars, knitting up and down sign posts,
creating superhero personas to live out through their art and much more.

You are invited to see this array of talent for the first time collected in
one spot specifically featuring collaboration amongst artists. See the ins
and outs of how they work together on projects. Enjoy their personal
drawings, paintings, photos and more. Get insight into the inspiring process
of working with a crew of fellow artists. Start a team of your own.

Chain Letter

The Burning Bridges

My submission for Chain Letter

I’ve been asked to be in a group show this summer called Chain Letter. As per the concept of this show, I am supposed to invite 10 artists who I admire to also participate. You are one of my 10. I am inviting you to be a part of Chain Letter because I admire you.

I gotta say, I love the concept of this show. The Boston event was held at Samson Projects @ 450 Harrison Ave. http://www.samsonprojects.com/

"Chain Letter" is a global group show wherein 10 artists have been invited to participate. Those 10 then invite 10 artists that they admire. Those 10 invite 10 more and so on. This cycle continues for 30 days.

The result is an exponentially massive, artist-curated group show based entirely on admiration. We hope every admired artist on the planet will be included in "Chain Letter" this summer.
