Motion/Less art exhibit to open Oct. 2 at Wellesley College’s Jewett Gallery

September 29, 2017 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Wellesley College’s Jewett Art Gallery presents Motion/Less, an art exhibit that will feature the work of two Wellesley College alumnae — Meghan Grubb ’05 and Zsofia Schweger ’12– who were awarded the Alice C. Cole ’42 Studio Project Grant in the 2015-16 academic year. The Alice C. Cole ’42 Studio Project Grant provides project-based support to recent Wellesley College graduates for the development, production, and exhibition of new work in painting and sculpture.

Motion/Less will be on display from October 2 – November 3 in the Jewett Art Gallery, with an opening reception from 4pm – 6pm on Monday, Oct. 2. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

Meghan Grubb makes works of sculpture and installation that explore the ways we respond — physically and emotionally — to precarious situations, both real and perceived. In Motion/Less, Grubb shows several works that reflect her ongoing investigation into equilibrium, transition, and potential energy.

Tide Shift, by Meghan Grubb
Embodying the experience of slow-moving change, Tide Shift, by Meghan Grubb, is a modular floor installation that builds on the artist’s research into wave, water, currents, and tidal patterns. Photo credit: Wellesley College.

Zsofia Schweger creates paintings informed by her experience of moving from country to country, drawing on ideas of home and belonging, local identity, and the emigrant experience. In her Sandorfalva, Hungary series, Schweger paints minimal domestic interiors of the home where she grew up in Sandorfalva, Hungary.

While Schweger’s paintings appear to be made of perfect, clean shapes in block colors, a closer look reveals the uncertain and anxious hand behind each brush stroke, emphasizing the process of memory involved in their creation and bringing to the paintings a sense of both comfort and alienation.

Motion/Less will be on display from Oct. 2 – Nov. 3, 2017 in the Jewett Art Gallery. The Gallery is open 10:00 am – 4:00 pm, 7 days a week, on the main level of the Jewett Arts Center. For more information about the exhibition, please contact Gallery Director Samara Pearlstein at 781-283-2043 or [email protected]
