April 23 – 27 2007
Doric Hall, Massachusetts State House
Boston
Designed as part of National Crime Victims Rights Awareness Week, this innovative exhibition is a collaboration between artists, activists, academics, museum professionals and community service providers working in the greater Boston area. We share a belief in the transformative power of art and art-making, and artists’ ability to confront, mediate and challenge the prevalence of violence in contemporary society. The exhibition celebrates the diversity of visual cultures engaging with issues of political, sexual, domestic, and community violence that exist in Boston. From shrines to peace gardens, murals to performance art, quilts to video installations, our community is remarkably creative in using art to highlight violence, express collective horror, commemorate victims, foster healing and imagine alternatives.
We endorse an ecological understanding of violence and violence prevention; that is, we believe that the causes of violence, and the ability of societies to overcome violence, reside in the dynamic relationship between a community and all of its members. Building and strengthening that relationship can effect social change. Art is perhaps the most effective form of intervention we have, and one of the keystones in building more healthy environments.
THE EXHIBITION
Venue: Doric Hall, Massachusetts State House, Boston
Dates: April 23-27 2007
Violence Transformed offers a range of perspectives to provoke debate, reflection and action rather than to prescribe one viewpoint or ideology. This is reflected in our curatorial approach: 4 curators from different areas of Boston are each selecting a small group of works to be included in the show that expresses for them art’s transformative relationship with contemporary violence. We hope that their distinct voices will generate a representative insight into the range of artistic strategies at work in the city today.
Violence Transformed will include works in a variety of media including painting, photography, prints, book art, video installation, digital projection, spoken-word and performance pieces.
This year’s curators:
Barry Gaither, Director of The Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, Inc.
Kathy Bitetti, artist, activist and Executive Director of the Artists Foundation
The Teen Curatorial Program of the Cloud Foundation
Ann Tobey, Associate Professor and Director, Juvenile Justice & Youth Advocacy, Wheelock College
Brian Price, Vice-President of Academic Affairs, Wheelock College
Ron Wilhelmsen, Senior Graphic Designer, CBS-4, who collaborated on the recent exhibition Lives Worth Remembering
