The artists of Do While Studio in Boston, Massachusetts are collaborating on BREATHING ROOM, several window installations viewable from the street at 122 South Street, the corner of South and Beach Streets. The work will be exhibited between 8pm and 10pm on Wednesday, May 5 through Saturday, May 8.

 

 

 

Kathy Desmond's window installation SOUTH STREET, BOSTON consists of a large scale drawing combined with video. The surface of the drawing creates a visual and emotional space. When placed in the narrative of the drawing, the video is an attempt to create an additional dimension and to investigate the presence of spiritual life.

 

CONCEPTIONS OF BEAUTY is a video montage by Keith Donaldson of vintage time pieces interspersed with the faces of children. This wok will be accompanied by the music of Lisa Housman with a song of the same title. CONCEPTIONS OF BEAUTY addresses the violent loss of innocence as a function of time and how Western standards and paradigms are forced upon us all.

KEYWORDS, by Joan Shafran, is about how we communicate in changing environments. The use of language evolves in tandem with the evolution of technology. Language developed in subtle ways as books changed over centuries. Today, because of the rapid growth in technology, language has little time to catch up.
