Buttons at the Rocky Neck Gallery
A group show called Buttons will be on display at the Rocky Neck Gallery September 17 to 30.
See the gallery window for a list of participating artists.
Anne Krinsky, Artist in Residence
Delineation Lime, by Anne Krinsky, acrylic on panel, 24” x 24”
Printmaker Anne Krinsky is the third Goetemann Artist in Residence for 2010. If you missed her opening talk you can still meet her and see her work during her Open Studio hours this weekend and next weekend. Hours will be posted on the sandwich board outside the Residency Studio at 51A Rocky Neck Ave.
Anne Krinsky makes grid-based works on paper and panel that occupy a middle ground between painting and drawing. In them, a delicate linear geometry is alternately overlaid with, or superimposed upon, translucent layers of acrylic color. Her panels are built up over time with thick swaths, splotches and drips of candy-colored paint. She subsequently sands these down to create a seamless seductive surface — a visual representation of a present moment shaped by prior experience.
Her upcoming show, Anne Krinsky: Time / Line, 2000 – 2010, opens in October 2010 at the Trustman Gallery at Simmons College in Boston. Krinsky’s layered acrylic paintings are in the collections of the British Museum, the Boston Public Library, Graham Gund and the UK charity, Paintings in Hospitals. She holds a BFA in Printmaking from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is represented in Boston by Soprafina Gallery.

A Message from Margi Green
Hi Everyone ! As many of you know, Lauren and Ted have sold their business and the building to a nice couple from Ohio, who had a coffee shop there. They seem like very nice people and intend to keeping things going as Lauren had before; and later add their own touch. I thought it might be nice to acknowledge their efforts and uplifting presence in our neighborhood through a card ( which Brenda will be making !) and flowers . Lauren’s last day is Sunday ; they’ll be closed Monday , and the new folks will open Tuesday. The card will be at Brenda’s to sign , and an envelope for donations towards the flowers (like a few dollars). Ted and Lauren turned down 3 potential buyers to sell to someone who would keep The Last Stop going – an admirable move ! He said that he hopes everyone will come down and say hello to the new owners – Sandy and Jean , ( and I believe their son’s name is Dave), and make them feel welcome. Thank-you! – Margi

Time and Tide Opening Reception Masquerade and Illusion Sept 17th
Friend of the Blog Kristina Brendel writes in-
Time & Tide Fine Art, 4 Market Street in Ipswich will hold an Opening Reception for their latest exhibition, Masquerade and Illusion on Friday, September 17 from 7-9 pm.
Time & Tide is teaming up with Time Well Spent to collect books at the reception for More Than Words, a nonprofit social enterprise that empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. Visit http://mtwyouth.org for more information about More Than Words.
Masquerade and Illusion includes painting, photography, multi-media and sculpture from area artists including Marilyn Swift, John Geesink, Anne Demeter, and Thorpe Feidt. Also included in the show are works by Belarusian painter Vladimir Kontsedailov. (The photograph is a detail from "Masquerade" by Kontsedailov.)
For the night of the reception only, Brian Brogan of The Painted Story (whose studio and gallery is on the third floor of 2 Central Street in Ipswich) will display his work as well. Brogan’s work is primal, shamanistic; showing human’s indigenous spirituality and equality.
"I’m hoping that we will raise a few eyebrows with this exhibition," smiles Kristina Brendel, Time & Tide’s director. "I’d really like to push the expectations of a local gallery past the tried and true into artwork that makes people pause and wonder."
Masquerade and Illusion will be on display at Time & Tide until November 15.

Jo-Ann writes-
Hi Joey, Getting more and more feedback on people loving GMG! I just repost
from your site to fb. Works well for me, thanks. This is one of the posting on my fb you
may not have received and might be interested in. Gloucester fine artist, Stevens, is a wonderful
fun guy and the Cape Ann Museum’s use of the White-Ellery House to host one day installations
of artists has been a fantastic opportunity. Think you would enjoy Stevens and
I was interested in that he says here he has processed photographs with coffee. Not sure
if he’s under the influence of caffein or actually processing film with coffee. Either way,
I’m sure he’s captured the historical time and essence of the White-Ellery House in
a unique way. Best to you today Joey… keep that news flying like the gulls.
