SUMMARY:Uncontained: Painting the Imagined World of Moss
DESCRIPTION:“Mosses and other small beings issue an invitation to dwell for a time right at the limits of ordinary perception. All it requires of us is attentiveness. Look in a certain way and a whole new world can be revealed.” — Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer  \n\n\nJoin Artist-in-Residence Resa Blatman for an informal pop-up exhibit at Bigelow Chapel to view and discuss her work\, “Uncontained\,” a series of small moss terrarium paintings. \n\n\n“Uncontained” depicts imagined plant environments in which moss and flora are breaking free of the barriers placed upon them by humans. The paintings examine both the intimate reality of moss—a small\, ancient plant that thrives in dark places—and the harsh reality of humanity’s attempt to control the natural world.  \n\n\nThe exhibit is free and open to the public between 12pm-5pm on Saturday\, March 23 and Sunday\, March 24. There will be a brief Q&A with the artist at 1:00pm both days. At 12:30pm on Saturday\, March 23rd\, poet and fellow Artist-in-Residence Carolyn Oliver will read her poem “Of Vastness and Relation\,” inspired by Resa’s moss paintings. \n\n\nThe event will take place in the Bigelow Chapel glass wing. No check-in required. The event registration is simply for us to gauge interest and to send registered guests a reminder about the event.  \n\n\nEvent capacity: 30 people at a time (i.e. the Chapel will be open\, and guests are welcome to walk in at any time between 12pm and 5pm on both days).  \nREGISTER NOW >>\n… \n\n\n\nRESA BLATMAN is a Somerville-based visual artist who works on various projects including large-sized\, wall-mounted art installations\, mixed-media paintings\, and drawings. Her primary studio practice consists of commissions and public art projects that speak to her reverence for nature. She exhibits her work at universities and art institutions throughout the U.S. She received her M.F.A. from Boston University and her BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art + Design.

SUMMARY:An (Un)common Inheritance: The Beauty & Wonder of Mount Auburn Cemetery's Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:“…It is the duty of the living thus to provide for the dead. It is not a mere office of pious regard for others; but it comes home to our own bosoms\, as those who are soon to enter upon the common inheritance.” ~Joseph Story\, Mount Auburn Cemetery Consecration address\, 1831 \nFor nearly two hundred years\, Mount Auburn Cemetery has been a cradle of invariable death and vibrant life. A thoughtfully humanized ecosystem\, the landscape is sculpted and cared for by staff and volunteers who preserve the Cemetery’s natural wonders for both the living and the dead. \nAn (Un)common Inheritance is the story of a place where little brown bats and yellow-spotted salamanders roam on wet spring nights\, where busy pollinators buzz between the flowers and toads sing at the edges of the ponds\, where Horticulture staff tend to thousands of trees and plants\, and where volunteers study the land as it slips through the seasons. \nJoin Mount Auburn Artist-in-Residence Billy Hickey as he takes you on a photographic journey through the beauty and wonder of life at the Cemetery. \nThe program will take place in the Story Chapel. \nEvent capacity: 50 people  \nREGISTER NOW >>\n… \nBILLY HICKEY is a nature photographer from Massachusetts. In his personal work Billy makes stories about the intersections of the natural and human worlds covering topics such as falconry\, light pollution\, fireflies\, and goats. Billy’s passion is learning about nature and sharing its wonders through photography with the hope to educate and inspire. In 2020 he graduated from the International Center of Photography and his project “How We Were” won first place in Lensculture’s Black and White Photography Awards. Billy’s work has been featured in the Eastern Mass. Hawkwatch’s Newsletter\, Buzzfeed News\, and the New York Times.
