A roster of excellent shows at CMCA

By BRITTA KONAU | August 29, 2012

In the "Gauge" series, Greenleaf arranges trapezoids and triangles in intricate and resonant configurations of color and shape. For me these drawings' most compelling aspect are the points of contact between the individual geometric shapes, their length (one could almost say duration), angle, intrusion, or near misses. This is where energy is transferred and interaction becomes concrete, making the works incredibly intimate, almost vulnerable.

"Counterpoint III: Anne Neely and Tom Chapin" + "Samantha Appleton: Here from There" + "Intercept: New Works on Paper by Ken Greenleaf" | through September 22 | at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art, 162 Russell Ave, Rockport | 207.236.2875 | cmcanow.org

ANDY VERZOSA’S RE-THINKING AT AUCOCISCO | May 09, 2013
Owner and director Andres Verzosa is showing 13 three-day two-person shows this season. Verzosa is perfectly aware of the disappearance of hierarchy and authority that I would maintain is not only taking place in the art world, but has already happened in art criticism and publishing.

SMALL SCALE YIELDS BIG IMPACT | April 18, 2013
Medieval towns, towers and turrets, flocks of birds, and blazing fires could easily be the subjects of fairytales or kitsch. Not so in the hands of Dozier Bell, who has plunged deeply into her imagination and masterfully realized what she found there in visual terms.

EXPLORING NEW AND OLD LANDSCAPES | March 13, 2013
The nature-inspired work of Lydia Badger, Hilary Irons, and Erik Weisenburger, on display at Rose Contemporary under the name "The New Landscape," is undoubtedly new — powerfully conceived, refreshingly innovative, and scrupulously executed — but the three are also happy to be part of a long tradition.
