Campus Art Installation Series Begins this Fall
This fall, Montserrat Galleries inaugurates a series of site-responsive commissions for Montserrat’s Hardie Building featuring projects by Montserrat alumni and local artists. The first in the series is an installation for Hardie’s iconic arched front windows by the Boston-based artist, Loretta Park. An interdisciplinary artist, Park incorporates weaving and fiber-art techniques with an array of everyday objects to create colorful and tactile sculptures. Park will build on these conceptual and material foundations to create a cascading sculpture that interplays with light and color. Woven pieces of rope and plastic chains will intentionally disrupt the window’s natural light, creating shadows of varied shades and shapes. At the same time, brightly colored marbles, sea glass, and translucent fabrics will amplify, refract and soften the light, allowing it to illuminate the interior of the building in varying ways.
