Trident Gallery Under Construction At 189 Main St- A Video Conversation With Dr Matthew Swift

Part 1 In a Four Part Series Of 191 Main Street Redevelopment

From The Trident Gallery Website

Trident Gallery mounts regular exhibitions and maintains an inventory of art with a Cape Ann story — works of art having a meaningful connection to Cape Ann, Massachusetts.

Meaningful connections to Cape Ann are diverse in kind: some works depict or transform scenes of the region; other works are profoundly rooted in the artist’s experiences of Cape Ann’s towns, landscapes, and sea horizons, and its vibrant matrix of interwoven communities.

Following this program, Trident Gallery shows original and limited-edition works art in all media, concentrating on paintings, works on paper, and photography. Gallery artists are both emerging and established, and most of them are living today and making their art on Cape Ann. A diversity of artistic styles — representational and abstract, traditional and contemporary — reflects the diversity of the artistic practices on Cape Ann. Gallery inventory reflects the full diversity of the art of Cape Ann; gallery exhibitions emphasize contemporary art.

Owner and Gallery Director Dr. Matthew Swift draws on academic expertise, four decades of personal knowledge of Cape Ann, and four generations of family involvement with Cape Ann art to illuminate the connection of each work of art in the gallery to Cape Ann and show its place in the region’s history, helping patrons take fuller delight in the art.

Trident Gallery also curates nationwide for avant garde art, reaching beyond its usual boundaries to bring challenging and invigorating new work into public view on Cape Ann and foster the participation of the region in the ongoing global conversation of art with life.

Trident Gallery is connected, intelligent, and progressive. It employs cutting edge processes and technologies to serve its artists, patrons, and the public. The art world is changing, Cape Ann is changing, and Trident Gallery is at the fore.

Maya Angelou Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

(1928-    )

Born Marguerite Ann Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri, Angelou was raised in rural Arkansas by her grandmother. Sexually abused at age eight, she did not speak again for five years, during which time she acquired her love of poetry and writing. Although in early adulthood she worked as a pimp, prostitute, and night club dancer, she began to study modern and African dance and had a successful touring career. After a brief marriage, she moved to New York and began to write. Encouraged by friends James Baldwin and Jules Feiffer, she produced the first of seven autobiographies, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings in 1968, which gained widespread acclaim despite its controversial treatment of sexual themes. Angelou went on to write plays, music for movie scores, and to act, appearing in the influential mini-series Roots, and won a Tony award in 1973. Her works won even greater notice after Bill Clinton asked her to read a poem at his first inauguration in 1993. Angelou was a supporter of Hilary Clinton in the 2008 primaries, but was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama in 2011.
