Design Biennial @ MassArt x SoWa

  • Sunday, January 8, 2023
  • 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 11:00 12:00
  • MassArt x Sowa (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

MassArt x SoWa is pleased to present the gallery’s inaugural Design Biennial, a juried exhibition featuring select work from faculty, students, alumni, and staff of the college’s Graduate and Professional Certificate Programs in Design.

The artists and designers in this exhibition carve, shape, build, stitch, research, record, organize, and refine. They grapple with the notion of beauty, explore  Transhumanism, imagine stolen ancestral futures and nonbinary objecthood. They communicate using a striking range of devices and strategies. Their tools and materials range from African mahogany to an iPhone paired with a telescope. In their work, a computer program creates one-way translations from language to image; fragmented video clips tell an insomniac’s sleepwalking story; acrylic paint on wood recounts the digital moments that unfold in a Zoom room. These makers invite us to scrutinize the built environments in which we live, to consider what might seem inconsequential, and relish well-crafted objects.

The MassArt x SoWa 2022 Design Biennial showcases recent work from nineteen designers and artists, representing the Dynamic Media Institute (MassArt’s MFA in Design), the Master of Design Innovation and Master of Architecture graduate programs, and the college’s professional certificate programs in Fashion, Furniture, and Communication Design. 

This exhibition was collaboratively curated and designed by Lucinda Bliss, Felicia Scott Flint, Justin Flint, Sebastian Gonzalez Quintero, Jen Mawson, Rebecca Morrison, and Zhidong Zhang.

WFH: Woodcarving From Home

  • Sun, Aug 2, 2020 4:00 PM 16:00 Sun, Aug 16, 2020 4:00 PM 16:00
  • Google Calendar ICS

Take an online workshop in Woodcarving From Home through Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Absolute beginners to intermediate woodcarvers will learn how to set up a feasible woodworking practice without access to a full shop. We will determine a home set up and set of goals that will work well for each student individually. Students will be required to purchase their own tools and materials, but we can work within a range of budgets. Treat yourself to a lifelong set of tools, or start with some simple items that you could expand upon later. Students will work on designing and carving small wooden vessels, or other sculptural forms. Between demos and work-alongs, there will be ample time for questions on current projects and future goals.

3 Sundays, August 2 to August 16th, 4-6pm.

OPENING RECEPTION TO FOLLOW Tues, May 1, until 9pm

Not Your Granny’s Rocker is a celebration of furniture and woodwork created by MassArt BFA, MFA, Continuing Education and Furniture Design Certificate students, faculty, staff, and alumni and our North Bennet Street School partners.

The MassArt woodshop has long been a place to experiment, explore and execute work. Creations include furniture, musical instruments, giant sculptures, whole houses, small carved items and more. In the woodshop, BFA, MFA, continuing education and Furniture Design Certificate students exchange ideas, philosophies and technical skills from their own areas of expertise.

This show celebrates the cross-pollination between our own programs along with the crossover with programs at the North Bennet Street School. Students and faculty alike have moved back and forth between the two very different and complementary schools for years. The result is an ever changing and evolving sense of mutual appreciation and respect that can be seen in the works by our students and community members.
