...directors latest, the fanciful Sweet and Lowdown, is in most respects a minor work of art, though it is pleasant and interesting. But enthusiasts should note that it represents something of a breakthrough for Allen, in that the main character, fictional 30s jazz guitarist Emmet Ray (Sean Penn), is a brooding, inarticulate, freewheeling figure motivated by moody emotions. Sure, hes neurotic as hell, but not in the style of nebbishy self-analysis that has informed so many Allen protagonists. Emmets comic/pathetic exploits are governed by the cadences of jazz, which has always been a background presence in Allens movies...
This stalwart cooperative gallery, founded in 1974, shows the work of its members along with the occasional outsider. While some of the members work in sculpture, photography and digital imagery, painting is dominant, representational, abstract expressionist and in-between. I think of art-teacher art and art-student art as the two basic varieties of middling art; much of the art here has the sluggish, hard-earned competence of the art teacher. Bromfield is not to be sniffed at, however; Dale Kaplan's recent exhibition of paintings on Mexican chewing-gum boxes was very enjoyable...
...profit galleries by being dedicated solely to student artwork in juried group shows. Drawing mostly on the Museum School, UMass Boston, and the Art Institute of Boston, First Expressions provides Boston's massive art student population with a unique forum for exhibition and sale. While they have not shown work by Harvard students within recent memory, they have done so in the past and VES concentrators are encouraged to give it a shot. This is also a great place for the less than wealthy to play art collector: the pieces exhibited are comparatively dirt-cheap. November's memorable show featured...
...operation since 1982, Kingston Gallery is a non-profit artist-run cooperative exhibiting work of all media. Situated in close proximity to such prominent commercial galleries as Bernard Toale, Clifford-Smith and Genovese/Sullivan, it holds its own with substantive shows such as November's solo exhibition of Janet Hansen Kawada's powerful, near-animate creations of felt, wool and wire...
...South End. The well-curated exhibitions emphasize the contemporary and the local. In the current show, Boston-based artist Sheila Pepe has stretched great drips and webs of crocheted yarn across the room. From what I gather, crochet is the medium of the moment; see, for example, the work of Seong Chun. Pepe also plays with casting shadows, created by found-object mini-sculptures, across her childlike drawings. A limber, nimble exhibition...
