The Edge Effect: International Open Juried Exhibition

June 30 - September 22, 2019

The Edge Effect describes an ecological phenomenon in the border area between disparate habitats, such as a meadow and a forest, which results in exponentially greater biodiversity. A museum creates a similar environment where works from artists with diverse backgrounds and locations are brought together to foster dialogue and spark creativity. Just as a border area is teeming with life, an exhibition can be a fertile place of ideas and images. The exhibition was juried by Akili Tomassino, Associate Curator, MFA Boston and former Assistant Curator, MoMA, New York.

Explore The Edge Effect: International Open Juried Exhibition

LandEscape

The landscape has been an independent subject for painting since the Renaissance, yet it was not until the late 19th century that the genre was transformed, removing it from its low pedestal in the hierarchy of the academies and elevating it to a worthy theme in its own right.
