Carroll & Sons Gallery
450 Harrison Avenue
Boston
Through December 20
DELIGHTFULLY LIGHT-HEARTED YET SURPRISINGLY FORMAL, JULIA FEATHERINGILL'S MAGNIFIED FOUND-DOODLE MARKER DRAWINGS ARE BOUND TO LEAVE SMILES ON VIEWER'S FACES AT THE CARROLL & SONS GALLERY THIS FALL. "INDELIBLE" FEATURES NINE WORKS TRHAT BURST WITH COLOR, ENERGY AND HUMOR. THE SHOW WILL BE ON DISPLAY THROUGH DECEMBER 20 IN THE SOUTH END'S COBBLE-STONED JEWEL OF A GALLERY, WHICH WILL ALSO BE SHOWING WORKS BY OTHER ARTISTS WHO - SIMILARLY TO FEATHERINGALL - PUT AN INTERESTING TWIST ON EVERYDAY THINGS.
While Juan Angel Chavez’s found object constructions may use the images of speakers to pull you in – and, in fact, the parts of this exhibition that resemble speakers do cause you to ponder what makes the real ones work - the affect they had on me was of transportation to a small, quiet, country-town setting where you go out for a walk and come upon a longneglected
structure holding clues to its vibrant past. You might have another kind of engagement with the work, as Chavez invites you to tap on all of its pieces and explore the sounds they’re capable of making..
