Jane Tuckerman Haunted
Guest Curated by John Borowicz
Jane Tuckerman
Milagro
Jane Tuckerman's exceptional relationship with the medium of photography has resulted in a stunning array of imagery.
Exploring the ritualistic, transformative, and magical aspects of various cultures, her work is both tranquil and unsettling. Though incredibly candid and humane, her art's undeniable strength is that it seeks to include the viewer in an open dialogue with both the artist and subject. She compels us to not only look, but to see in unexpected ways. While grounded in photography, Tuckerman often pushes her poignant exploration into the realms of painting, collage and sculpture.
This exhibition will offer an in depth and unique look at one of the SouthCoast's most engaging artists.

Kathryn Lee Smith: Crossing the Fine White Line
Guest Curated by James R. Bakker
Kathi Smith’s exceptional work carries and extends a unique and important legacy in the art of printmaking into the 21st century. Provincetown’s tradition of white-line printmaking is infused with new life in Kathi’s hands, and is made vital to a new generation. We at NBAM are especially pleased to host this fine exhibit for our audiences as an informative educational experience, as well as a lush and fulfilling aesthetic idyll.

"I value averageness. I flourish in the middle. ... Specialness is for others."
~ Michelle Grabner
"[My] recent body of work employs various sized round stretchers. The points of abstract information that dot the colorless circle fields parallel infant utterances, beginning speech, or a speech disorder. No longer indexes of patterns of familiar things, they are the pattern of base thought, visual echolalia, meaningless sequences of points that expand and progress outward in an Archimedes spiral. Textual and arithmetical, the painting's non-Cart esian coordinates establish an active metaphor for forgetting while at the same time underscoring a teleologic belief principle."
