Not bad for a mischievous Midwestern boy from Knoxville, Illinois.

​

Wilson has performed with a host of musicians, including Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson, Geri Allen, Elvis Costello, Candido Camero, Freddie Redd, Butch Warren, Cedar Walton, Kenny Barron, Christian McBride, John Zorn, Benny Golson, Buster Williams, Marshall Allen, Nels Cline, Rufus Reid, Jason Moran, Bill Henderson, Frank Wess, Anat Cohen, Steve Nelson, George Cables, Mulgrew Miller, Chris Potter, Regina Carter, Benny Green, John Clayton, Bobby Watson, Eddie Gomez, Wynton Marsalis, Paquito D’Rivera, George Mraz, Michael Brecker, Pat Metheny, Joe Lovano, John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Hubert Laws and Hank Jones.

​

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.

​

“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.

​

Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.

​

In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by the circular skylights above.

​

Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

​

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

​

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

​

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

​

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

​

The 2025 Glass House tour season begins on April 17, 2025. Tickets are available now! All tours include access to the newly restored Brick House. Following an extensive restoration project , we are excited to share this essential design element of the site and its history with you!

“Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi

​

While the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin.

​

Writing about the unique materiality of his sculptures, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern, fine art and design, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes.

​

Featuring a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains, fruit, and sky in the second grouping, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that, in modernity, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas, weight and weightlessness, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects, spaces, and people in a network of cast reflections, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life, his practice, and themselves.

​

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is curated by Julia Mun, Curatorial Associate, with support from Ashley Holland, Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives, and Javier Rivero Ramos, Assistant Curator. The presentation at the Bruce is organized by Margarita Karasoulas, Curator of Art.

​

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges.

​

For the final exhibition of its 2024-25 season, the Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Elemental: Work by Boston Sculptors Gallery Artists. The show runs from May 8 to June 18 and features the work of 13 artists from the Boston Sculptors Gallery. The sculptors in the exhibition work with a wide range of materials – clay, fabric, metal, plastic, wood, and mixed media – and their artwork ranges in height from three inches to over eight feet.  

​

While the sculptures encompass a wide range of materials, sizes, and techniques, they were selected with a unifying theme in mind – Elemental. This word has multiple meanings, which range from primitive or basic to the four elements of nature to the chemical elements from which many of the objects are created. Visitors to the Gallery will see artwork that can be grouped into four elemental categories: Beginnings, Organisms, Earth, and Water.  

​

​

The artists are all inspired by the beauty and fragility of the natural world along with our connections to and impact upon it. For Mo Kelman,“water is the ideal subject to reflect on the laws that govern nature as it ceaselessly advances and embarrasses our every effort to keep it at bay.” In Lagoon, Kelman merges an abstracted body of silk water with bamboo structures that ensemble towers or bridges. Artist Jessica Strauss has three pieces in the exhibition from her Packing for Mars series. In Missing You, Blue Planet, and No More Polar Ice Cap, human figures gaze at images of Earth. The sculptures express “black humor, longing, and regret” as Strauss looks toward a “future when humans must flee a devastated Earth to settle on far flung and arid worlds.” 

​

​

Several artists use traditional domestic crafts such as crochet, embroidery, and sewing in innovative ways. In her three sculptures Ascent, Larvae, and Nests, Michelle Lougee crochets post-consumer plastic bags into monumental sculptures, which “examine the relationships between humans, plastic, and nature amidst irreversible environmental changes”. Cascading from the ceiling, Keri Straka’s “Soft Cell Division” is composed of stuffed and sewn textiles. According to Straka, “the suspended sculpture is evocative of the ebb and flow of human life as mirrored in the blooming of a single cell.” Her sculpture, “Portal: Past” is made of multiple wooden embroidery hoops of varying sizes with water-color painted fabric embedded with a wide range of materials to represent dividing cells and biological cycles.  

​

​

Since the majority of sculptors are women, it is only natural that some artwork addresses feminine sensibilities, and as mentioned, domestic life. Ellen Schön has four ceramic pieces in the exhibition. Two of her pieces – Five Hills Font and Lotus Pod – are part of her Wellspring Series. For Schön, “the pieces in this series explore the ceramic vessel as a wellspring or womb. They are meant to evoke sources of life-whirlpools, fonts, pods, seed of hope, as well as the landscape of the female body.” Several of Jodie Colella’s sculptures are ceramic and one incorporates fabric. According to Colella, her three pieces – Offspring, Seeds, and Attempts at Conviviality Exhaust Me – “comingle rigid forms with fibers to create vessels containing the stories that embody domestic life.” 

​

​

Elemental is curated by Flinn Gallery committee members, Barbra Fordyce and Nancy Heller. It will include over 40 works of art by the following Boston Sculptors Gallery artists: 

​

 Jodie Colella (clay, fiber, stone, and mixed media), Carrie Crane (mixed media),  

​

Anna Kristina Goransson (felt and wool), Mo Kelman (silk, wood, and mixed media), Michelle Lougee (crocheted plastic and wire), Ellen Schön (stoneware and fired-clay), Julia Shepley (mixed media), Keri Straka (fabric and mixed media), Jessica Strauss (mixed media), Margaret Swan (aluminum), Nora Valdez (limestone), Leslie Wilcox (steel screen and mixed media), and Andy Zimmerman (wood).  

​

​

The Flinn Gallery is a non-profit organization sponsored by Friends of the Greenwich Library. The Gallery welcomes visitors daily Monday to Saturday, 10-5pm, Thursday until 8pm, and Sunday 1-5pm, and is located on the second floor of the Greenwich Library, 101 West Putnam Avenue, Greenwich, CT.  

​

​

The Boston Sculptors Gallery (BSG) was founded in 1992 by 18 artists as a venue for contemporary sculpture. It is located in Boston’s SoWa arts district and has 38 member artists from Boston and New England. There is a natural kinship between the Flinn and Boston Sculptors Galleries. Both are nonprofit entities that are volunteer-run and operated with support from a part-time staff member.

​

 Heather Gaudio Fine Art  is pleased to present Martin Kline: The World In All Its Plenitude, the artist’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Saturday, May 3, 4-6pm, and the exhibition will remain on view through June 14th. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay written by art critic and poet Carter Ratcliff accompanies the exhibition. 

​

​

“…ever since he made his first mature work, Kline has felt free to make paintings that are not flat and sculptures that are powerfully pictorial.  He is not just inventive. He is reliably – startlingly – original.” [1]

​

​

The show brings together thirty-nine works executed between 1997 and 2025, surveying Kline’s long-standing engagement with encaustic. Kline’s output has consistently been one of working in series, creating several paintings, drawings and sculpture surrounding a theme or idea. At times he has revisited these themes to expand his material investigations, technical mastery and visual explorations. The distinguishing motif in the paintings and sculptures presented in this show, regardless of the year or series they belong to, is that they all share in the color blue. Arguably one of the favorite colors on the spectrum, blue has for millennia captivated the human eye and carried a special allure for its symbolic and emotive qualities. From ancient China and Egypt to the Celtic times, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque periods, from the Industrial Revolution and the nineteenth century to the modern and contemporary era, blue has fascinated artists, musicians and writers. Sourced from cobalt, lapis lazuli, indigo, ultramarine and other materials, blue can transform into varying hues: cyan, navy, turquoise, aqua, midnight blue, sky blue, royal blue and aquamarine. 

​

​

Kline’s nimble use of the color takes its hue and shade ranges in different directions, accentuating its characteristics and evocative nature with his adroit use of encaustic.  Whether applied in flat bold brushstrokes, dripped or layered to create textured surfaces, Kline modulates the color and manipulates the material to create a vast range of visual experiences. Some grided paintings are structures that take on a retro feel with lighter and darker tones and hues, such as Blue Order and Blue and White Impression. The brushstrokes create a patchwork of tetris-like tiles seeming to compete for space. A mixture of values and tones in other panels such as Blue Grid are not as delineated and appear to meld into one another. These networks are transformed into more complex systems in Blue Mosaico (Tondo) and in the camo-bot series such as Patchwork Blue and Camo Bluebot.  

​

​

Razzle Dazzle may be visually related to the latter two but is also part of another seminal body of work by the artist, the Hammock paintings. In this large panel, Kline’s line of enquiry comes from a narrative referenced in Leo Steinberg’s essay “Other Criteria.” In it, he touches on the 19th century artist Thomas Eakins’ addressing the question whether painting and sculpture should have the same moral standing as traditionally defined manual labor, and not just be considered an activity of leisure or pleasure. Kline’s Hammock paintings are created on actual canvas service hammocks, some dating back to WWII, that the artist has collected over the years. Razzle Dazzle, with its honey-combed surface and blue color patterns, camouflages the hammock on the panel, keeping the object used for work and /or leisure not readily apparent.

Audiences familiar with Kline’s artistic trajectory will enjoy viewing the deep, midnight blue, almost black The Prussian Blues (II), an encaustic on linen that would be a precursor to an important series in Kline’s oeuvre, the white linen, or Tabula Rasa, paintings.  Other works on view include the artist’s signature additive layered Bloom, Jewel, and Leda paintings, with their surfaces so textured they become quasi sculptural, where shadow plays an important part in the visual engagement. When does a textured painting become a sculpture? The coup de grâce that drives this concept home is Diagonal Blue Growth on Canvas, a painting the artist cast into a unique bronze and finished with a rich blue patina to make it look like a painting.

​

This exhibition presents highlights from the collection of Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum, which explores the impact of the Irish Famine of 1845-1852 through artwork produced by eminent Irish and Irish-American artists of the past 170 years. The works on view in the exhibition will include paintings by late 19th- and early 20th‐century artists like James Brenan, Daniel Macdonald, James Arthur O'Connor and Jack B. Yeats, as well as sculptures, paintings, and works on paper by contemporary artists including John Behan, Rowan Gillespie, Brian Maguire, and Hughie O'Donoghue. The exhibition is presented by Quinnipiac University and the Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum of Fairfield Exhibition.

​

We are pleased to announce our next On View feature, highlighting original landscape paintings by South Carolina-based artist Karin Olah on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery. The Feature will open Saturday, May 10, 2025. Visitors will have the opportunity to view new work by Karin, with light refreshments on opening day. 

​

Inspired by the colors and light of coastal landscapes, Karin Olah creates multi-layered paintings with acrylic paint, hand-dyed fabric, and vintage textiles. Karin’s subject matter ranges from seascape to abstract expressionism to a dreamy place in-between.

​

Karin combines her obsession with textiles and quilts, a background in fashion design in NYC, a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and an ever-growing fabric collection to add layers of texture to her work. She is a recipient of the Lowcountry Artist of the Year Award and an Artist-in-Residence at Palmetto Bluff. Her work has been on the cover of Charleston Magazine and featured in Southern Living, House & Garden Magazine, and American Contemporary Art Magazine. Her work is in public collections at Mayo Clinic Florida, Medical University of South Carolina, Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center, JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, and Ilya Corporation in Japan. Originally from Lancaster Country, Pennsylvania, Karin has lived in Charleston, South Carolina since 2003. Karin enjoys going to the beach, playing golf, being silly with her daughters, and chasing after a naughty labradoodle named Charlie.

​

"Fabric is something that evokes an emotional response," Olah says. "Soft materials can make us feel calm, relaxed, cozy, and safe. I use textiles in my paintings to suggest a connection between the beautiful places in nature and the comforting touch of a well-loved quilt. Inspiration for my subject matter comes from cloud watching at the beach, the stripes of ocean waves on the horizon, a patchwork of farm fields, the meandering thread of a creek through the marsh, and quiet time at the lake. My interpretations of landscapes focus on color and mood more than realism. In these dreamscapes, the brushstrokes are fabric."

​

Karin's paintings will be on view through Saturday, May 31st. 

​

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

 The GR Art Gallery presents:

​

Ellen Gordon

​

“A Creative Journey II”

​

April 4th, 2025 – May 30th, 2025

​

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 5th from 4 PM – 7 PM

​

“A Creative Journey II”” is Ellen Gordon’s first solo exhibit at the GR Art Gallery. This exhibition is a retrospective of paintings and drawings by the artist created since 2009. In 2009 Ms. Gordon had her first solo exhibition entitled “A Creative Journey” at the Stamford Mayor’s Gallery. The exhibit will be on display from April 4th thru May 30th. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday from 12-6 pm and from Sunday 12-4. Any time by appointment, 203-274-7497.

​

The GR Art Gallery will host a reception to celebrate the artist on Saturday April 5th from 4 – 7 PM. The public is invited.

​

Ellen Gordon is a Stamford, CT-based award-winning mixed media artist. The colors and patterns in her artwork are roller coaster rhythms of fences, grids, and fractured geometries – a kind of mapping. She guides us along a journey of the personal narrative through landscaped layers of abstraction and portraiture. Playful and speculative, the rhythms remain determinedly open-ended and essentially borderless. An un-plotted story with unbounded possibilities. Over the past two decades, Gordon’s work has evolved through many phases, but her main body of work centers on figurative collages - intimate yet colorful portrayals of a woman in her own thoughts, providing the viewer a window into honest moments with a series of striking and bold women. Her most recent work has been a transition into the abstract patterns, experimenting with geometric shapes and inverted forms in color palettes evoking various states of mind.

​

Ms. Gordon has been active in the local arts for many years. She currently serves on the board of The Greenwich Art Society and The Connecticut Women Artists. Ms. Gordon is a commissioner of The City of Stamford’s Cultural Arts and Culture Board. She is the former Executive Director of the Loft Artists Association and was Co President of the Stamford Art Association.

​

In 2022, Ms. Gordon became the curator of the Mayor's Art Gallery in Stamford, CT. 

​

The GR Art Gallery is located at 1086 Long Ridge Road, Stamford, CT 06903. Gallery hours are Wednesday - Saturday from 12-6 pm and from Sunday 12-4. Any time by appointment, 203-274-7497. Parking is available and the building is handicap accessible.

​

A new show at the Rowayton Arts Center (RAC), “Community Sponsored Awards,” will be on view May 18 through June 15, 2025.

​

The opening reception on Sunday, May 16 from 4 pm to 6 pm is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 12 to 5 pm plus Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm.

​

RAC celebrates the study, creation and appreciation of the arts through classes, exhibitions and events open to all in the community. For over 60 years, this nonprofit organization has been a cultural gem in Rowayton, CT. The gallery and art school overlook the scenic Five Mile River at 145 Rowayton Avenue with space for regional artists to exhibit their art and a classroom for workshops and classes at all levels offered to children and adults.

 Brian Dolzani

​

Fairfield-native singer/songwriter Brian Dolzani celebrates his tenth album release at this special full band show on Stage One. The Endless Sky is a new collection of songs that finds Brian doing what he does best, looking in all directions: up, down, outward, and inward. You’ll hear songs about being Open to Surprise, the deeper love of Moonlit Love, and the title quote: ‘The endless sky is where I point my arrow / I wonder just how far there is to go’, from I Wonder. The Endless Sky will be released in early May.

​

An introverted and shy kid, a young introspective Brian met his first guitar at age fifteen when he also lost his father, and almost his mother, in a car accident. Pouring his whole being into music was the salve he needed, and Brian still retains that urgent sense of digging the deepest wells of life for songs and the will to carry on. ‘I didn’t know where I was welcome / I feared every outcome / wishing I could die / if I couldn’t run / I learned to hide myself away / and soon came the day / I was empty as a rain barrel / in the desert sun’, he sings in Who I Am. There is always hope and redemption after the pain, so Brian continues, ‘Who I am / is flesh and bone and tiny bits of stars / who I am / what I could not see / is everything that’s beautiful in me’.

​

Brian and his longtime band of friends (John, Bill, and George - yes, almost the Beatles) will also perform fan favorites from his recent albums such as Horse and We Are Magic as well as singles and unreleased gems. There’s also a good chance they will play a Neil Young song, as Brian is well-known for his Neil tribute project The Loner.

​

The 2025 Glass House tour season begins on April 17, 2025. Tickets are available now! All tours include access to the newly restored Brick House. Following an extensive restoration project , we are excited to share this essential design element of the site and its history with you!

​

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.

​

“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.

​

Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.

​

In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by the circular skylights above.

​

Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

​

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

​

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

​

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

“Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi

​

While the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin.

​

Writing about the unique materiality of his sculptures, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern, fine art and design, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes.

​

Featuring a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains, fruit, and sky in the second grouping, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that, in modernity, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas, weight and weightlessness, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects, spaces, and people in a network of cast reflections, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life, his practice, and themselves.

​

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is curated by Julia Mun, Curatorial Associate, with support from Ashley Holland, Curator and Director of Curatorial Initiatives, and Javier Rivero Ramos, Assistant Curator. The presentation at the Bruce is organized by Margarita Karasoulas, Curator of Art.

​

Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges.

​

For the final exhibition of its 2024-25 season, the Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Elemental: Work by Boston Sculptors Gallery Artists. The show runs from May 8 to June 18 and features the work of 13 artists from the Boston Sculptors Gallery. The sculptors in the exhibition work with a wide range of materials – clay, fabric, metal, plastic, wood, and mixed media – and their artwork ranges in height from three inches to over eight feet.  

​

While the sculptures encompass a wide range of materials, sizes, and techniques, they were selected with a unifying theme in mind – Elemental. This word has multiple meanings, which range from primitive or basic to the four elements of nature to the chemical elements from which many of the objects are created. Visitors to the Gallery will see artwork that can be grouped into four elemental categories: Beginnings, Organisms, Earth, and Water.  

​

​

The artists are all inspired by the beauty and fragility of the natural world along with our connections to and impact upon it. For Mo Kelman,“water is the ideal subject to reflect on the laws that govern nature as it ceaselessly advances and embarrasses our every effort to keep it at bay.” In Lagoon, Kelman merges an abstracted body of silk water with bamboo structures that ensemble towers or bridges. Artist Jessica Strauss has three pieces in the exhibition from her Packing for Mars series. In Missing You, Blue Planet, and No More Polar Ice Cap, human figures gaze at images of Earth. The sculptures express “black humor, longing, and regret” as Strauss looks toward a “future when humans must flee a devastated Earth to settle on far flung and arid worlds.” 

​

​

Several artists use traditional domestic crafts such as crochet, embroidery, and sewing in innovative ways. In her three sculptures Ascent, Larvae, and Nests, Michelle Lougee crochets post-consumer plastic bags into monumental sculptures, which “examine the relationships between humans, plastic, and nature amidst irreversible environmental changes”. Cascading from the ceiling, Keri Straka’s “Soft Cell Division” is composed of stuffed and sewn textiles. According to Straka, “the suspended sculpture is evocative of the ebb and flow of human life as mirrored in the blooming of a single cell.” Her sculpture, “Portal: Past” is made of multiple wooden embroidery hoops of varying sizes with water-color painted fabric embedded with a wide range of materials to represent dividing cells and biological cycles.  

​

​

Since the majority of sculptors are women, it is only natural that some artwork addresses feminine sensibilities, and as mentioned, domestic life. Ellen Schön has four ceramic pieces in the exhibition. Two of her pieces – Five Hills Font and Lotus Pod – are part of her Wellspring Series. For Schön, “the pieces in this series explore the ceramic vessel as a wellspring or womb. They are meant to evoke sources of life-whirlpools, fonts, pods, seed of hope, as well as the landscape of the female body.” Several of Jodie Colella’s sculptures are ceramic and one incorporates fabric. According to Colella, her three pieces – Offspring, Seeds, and Attempts at Conviviality Exhaust Me – “comingle rigid forms with fibers to create vessels containing the stories that embody domestic life.” 

​

​

Elemental is curated by Flinn Gallery committee members, Barbra Fordyce and Nancy Heller. It will include over 40 works of art by the following Boston Sculptors Gallery artists: 

​

 Jodie Colella (clay, fiber, stone, and mixed media), Carrie Crane (mixed media),  

​

Anna Kristina Goransson (felt and wool), Mo Kelman (silk, wood, and mixed media), Michelle Lougee (crocheted plastic and wire), Ellen Schön (stoneware and fired-clay), Julia Shepley (mixed media), Keri Straka (fabric and mixed media), Jessica Strauss (mixed media), Margaret Swan (aluminum), Nora Valdez (limestone), Leslie Wilcox (steel screen and mixed media), and Andy Zimmerman (wood).

 Heather Gaudio Fine Art  is pleased to present Martin Kline: The World In All Its Plenitude, the artist’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Saturday, May 3, 4-6pm, and the exhibition will remain on view through June 14th. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay written by art critic and poet Carter Ratcliff accompanies the exhibition. 

​

​

“…ever since he made his first mature work, Kline has felt free to make paintings that are not flat and sculptures that are powerfully pictorial.  He is not just inventive. He is reliably – startlingly – original.” [1]

​

​

The show brings together thirty-nine works executed between 1997 and 2025, surveying Kline’s long-standing engagement with encaustic. Kline’s output has consistently been one of working in series, creating several paintings, drawings and sculpture surrounding a theme or idea. At times he has revisited these themes to expand his material investigations, technical mastery and visual explorations. The distinguishing motif in the paintings and sculptures presented in this show, regardless of the year or series they belong to, is that they all share in the color blue. Arguably one of the favorite colors on the spectrum, blue has for millennia captivated the human eye and carried a special allure for its symbolic and emotive qualities. From ancient China and Egypt to the Celtic times, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque periods, from the Industrial Revolution and the nineteenth century to the modern and contemporary era, blue has fascinated artists, musicians and writers. Sourced from cobalt, lapis lazuli, indigo, ultramarine and other materials, blue can transform into varying hues: cyan, navy, turquoise, aqua, midnight blue, sky blue, royal blue and aquamarine. 

​

​

Kline’s nimble use of the color takes its hue and shade ranges in different directions, accentuating its characteristics and evocative nature with his adroit use of encaustic.  Whether applied in flat bold brushstrokes, dripped or layered to create textured surfaces, Kline modulates the color and manipulates the material to create a vast range of visual experiences. Some grided paintings are structures that take on a retro feel with lighter and darker tones and hues, such as Blue Order and Blue and White Impression. The brushstrokes create a patchwork of tetris-like tiles seeming to compete for space. A mixture of values and tones in other panels such as Blue Grid are not as delineated and appear to meld into one another. These networks are transformed into more complex systems in Blue Mosaico (Tondo) and in the camo-bot series such as Patchwork Blue and Camo Bluebot.  

​

​

Razzle Dazzle may be visually related to the latter two but is also part of another seminal body of work by the artist, the Hammock paintings. In this large panel, Kline’s line of enquiry comes from a narrative referenced in Leo Steinberg’s essay “Other Criteria.” In it, he touches on the 19th century artist Thomas Eakins’ addressing the question whether painting and sculpture should have the same moral standing as traditionally defined manual labor, and not just be considered an activity of leisure or pleasure. Kline’s Hammock paintings are created on actual canvas service hammocks, some dating back to WWII, that the artist has collected over the years. Razzle Dazzle, with its honey-combed surface and blue color patterns, camouflages the hammock on the panel, keeping the object used for work and /or leisure not readily apparent.  

​

​

Audiences familiar with Kline’s artistic trajectory will enjoy viewing the deep, midnight blue, almost black The Prussian Blues (II), an encaustic on linen that would be a precursor to an important series in Kline’s oeuvre, the white linen, or Tabula Rasa, paintings.  Other works on view include the artist’s signature additive layered Bloom, Jewel, and Leda paintings, with their surfaces so textured they become quasi sculptural, where shadow plays an important part in the visual engagement. When does a textured painting become a sculpture? The coup de grâce that drives this concept home is Diagonal Blue Growth on Canvas, a painting the artist cast into a unique bronze and finished with a rich blue patina to make it look like a painting.

​

We are pleased to announce our next On View feature, highlighting original landscape paintings by South Carolina-based artist Karin Olah on the main wall of Sorelle Gallery. The Feature will open Saturday, May 10, 2025. Visitors will have the opportunity to view new work by Karin, with light refreshments on opening day. 

​

Inspired by the colors and light of coastal landscapes, Karin Olah creates multi-layered paintings with acrylic paint, hand-dyed fabric, and vintage textiles. Karin’s subject matter ranges from seascape to abstract expressionism to a dreamy place in-between.

​

Karin combines her obsession with textiles and quilts, a background in fashion design in NYC, a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and an ever-growing fabric collection to add layers of texture to her work. She is a recipient of the Lowcountry Artist of the Year Award and an Artist-in-Residence at Palmetto Bluff. Her work has been on the cover of Charleston Magazine and featured in Southern Living, House & Garden Magazine, and American Contemporary Art Magazine. Her work is in public collections at Mayo Clinic Florida, Medical University of South Carolina, Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center, JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, and Ilya Corporation in Japan. Originally from Lancaster Country, Pennsylvania, Karin has lived in Charleston, South Carolina since 2003. Karin enjoys going to the beach, playing golf, being silly with her daughters, and chasing after a naughty labradoodle named Charlie.

​

"Fabric is something that evokes an emotional response," Olah says. "Soft materials can make us feel calm, relaxed, cozy, and safe. I use textiles in my paintings to suggest a connection between the beautiful places in nature and the comforting touch of a well-loved quilt. Inspiration for my subject matter comes from cloud watching at the beach, the stripes of ocean waves on the horizon, a patchwork of farm fields, the meandering thread of a creek through the marsh, and quiet time at the lake. My interpretations of landscapes focus on color and mood more than realism. In these dreamscapes, the brushstrokes are fabric."

​

Karin's paintings will be on view through Saturday, May 31st. 

​

This On View feature is free and open to the public during gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday 11:00am - 5:00pm. Street parking is available.

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.

​

“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.

​

Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.

​

In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by the circular skylights above.

​

Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

​

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

​

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

​

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

​

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

​

The 2025 Glass House tour season begins on April 17, 2025. Tickets are available now! All tours include access to the newly restored Brick House. Following an extensive restoration project , we are excited to share this essential design element of the site and its history with you!

“Here is where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict…” —Isamu Noguchi

​

While the renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) is best known for his work in stone, he consistently explored new materials and methods during his wide-ranging career. He first experimented with aluminum in the 1950s and later with galvanized steel, creating a series of twenty-six sculptures in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles in 1982–83. In this body of work, each sheet of metal is cut with a plasma torch and then dipped into boiling zinc, resulting in sculptures that are subtly patterned and highly reflective, resembling pebbles in a stream or the epidermal layer of skin.

​

Writing about the unique materiality of his sculptures, Noguchi described metal as a mirror in opposition to “stone [as] depth.” His galvanized steel sculptures achieve formal unity while also exploring conceptual dualities between the traditional and modern, fine art and design, and industry and nature. As a Japanese American artist working in the United States, Noguchi negotiated his own feeling of in-betweenness throughout his oeuvre. The galvanized steel editions synthesize this dual aspect of his identity, utilizing steel—a distinctly American material—while also integrating the Japanese craft of origami through cut and folded metal shapes.

​

Featuring a selection of nine galvanized steel sculptures, the exhibition is organized into thematic groupings that underscore the paradoxes of the artist’s work in metal. In the first, Noguchi imparts inanimate forms with human qualities, complicating the relationship between flesh and steel, body and mirror. Man-made material is transformed into representations of mountains, fruit, and sky in the second grouping, reflecting Noguchi’s belief that, in modernity, industry and nature are intertwined. A final trio of works reveals Noguchi’s ongoing interest in abstraction, bringing theoretical and spiritual ideas, weight and weightlessness, and past and present into visual dialogue. Through these sculptures, Noguchi explores ways of belonging in between such imagined oppositions. Indeed, the polished steel surfaces entangle objects, spaces, and people in a network of cast reflections, inviting visitors to contemplate Noguchi’s life, his practice, and themselves.

 Heather Gaudio Fine Art  is pleased to present Martin Kline: The World In All Its Plenitude, the artist’s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. The public is invited to attend an opening reception on Saturday, May 3, 4-6pm, and the exhibition will remain on view through June 14th. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay written by art critic and poet Carter Ratcliff accompanies the exhibition. 

​

​

“…ever since he made his first mature work, Kline has felt free to make paintings that are not flat and sculptures that are powerfully pictorial.  He is not just inventive. He is reliably – startlingly – original.” [1]

​

​

The show brings together thirty-nine works executed between 1997 and 2025, surveying Kline’s long-standing engagement with encaustic. Kline’s output has consistently been one of working in series, creating several paintings, drawings and sculpture surrounding a theme or idea. At times he has revisited these themes to expand his material investigations, technical mastery and visual explorations. The distinguishing motif in the paintings and sculptures presented in this show, regardless of the year or series they belong to, is that they all share in the color blue. Arguably one of the favorite colors on the spectrum, blue has for millennia captivated the human eye and carried a special allure for its symbolic and emotive qualities. From ancient China and Egypt to the Celtic times, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque periods, from the Industrial Revolution and the nineteenth century to the modern and contemporary era, blue has fascinated artists, musicians and writers. Sourced from cobalt, lapis lazuli, indigo, ultramarine and other materials, blue can transform into varying hues: cyan, navy, turquoise, aqua, midnight blue, sky blue, royal blue and aquamarine. 

​

​

Kline’s nimble use of the color takes its hue and shade ranges in different directions, accentuating its characteristics and evocative nature with his adroit use of encaustic.  Whether applied in flat bold brushstrokes, dripped or layered to create textured surfaces, Kline modulates the color and manipulates the material to create a vast range of visual experiences. Some grided paintings are structures that take on a retro feel with lighter and darker tones and hues, such as Blue Order and Blue and White Impression. The brushstrokes create a patchwork of tetris-like tiles seeming to compete for space. A mixture of values and tones in other panels such as Blue Grid are not as delineated and appear to meld into one another. These networks are transformed into more complex systems in Blue Mosaico (Tondo) and in the camo-bot series such as Patchwork Blue and Camo Bluebot.  

​

​

Razzle Dazzle may be visually related to the latter two but is also part of another seminal body of work by the artist, the Hammock paintings. In this large panel, Kline’s line of enquiry comes from a narrative referenced in Leo Steinberg’s essay “Other Criteria.” In it, he touches on the 19th century artist Thomas Eakins’ addressing the question whether painting and sculpture should have the same moral standing as traditionally defined manual labor, and not just be considered an activity of leisure or pleasure. Kline’s Hammock paintings are created on actual canvas service hammocks, some dating back to WWII, that the artist has collected over the years. Razzle Dazzle, with its honey-combed surface and blue color patterns, camouflages the hammock on the panel, keeping the object used for work and /or leisure not readily apparent.  

​

​

Audiences familiar with Kline’s artistic trajectory will enjoy viewing the deep, midnight blue, almost black The Prussian Blues (II), an encaustic on linen that would be a precursor to an important series in Kline’s oeuvre, the white linen, or Tabula Rasa, paintings.  Other works on view include the artist’s signature additive layered Bloom, Jewel, and Leda paintings, with their surfaces so textured they become quasi sculptural, where shadow plays an important part in the visual engagement. When does a textured painting become a sculpture? The coup de grâce that drives this concept home is Diagonal Blue Growth on Canvas, a painting the artist cast into a unique bronze and finished with a rich blue patina to make it look like a painting.

​

For the final exhibition of its 2024-25 season, the Flinn Gallery is pleased to present Elemental: Work by Boston Sculptors Gallery Artists. The show runs from May 8 to June 18 and features the work of 13 artists from the Boston Sculptors Gallery. The sculptors in the exhibition work with a wide range of materials – clay, fabric, metal, plastic, wood, and mixed media – and their artwork ranges in height from three inches to over eight feet.  

​

While the sculptures encompass a wide range of materials, sizes, and techniques, they were selected with a unifying theme in mind – Elemental. This word has multiple meanings, which range from primitive or basic to the four elements of nature to the chemical elements from which many of the objects are created. Visitors to the Gallery will see artwork that can be grouped into four elemental categories: Beginnings, Organisms, Earth, and Water.  

​

​

The artists are all inspired by the beauty and fragility of the natural world along with our connections to and impact upon it. For Mo Kelman,“water is the ideal subject to reflect on the laws that govern nature as it ceaselessly advances and embarrasses our every effort to keep it at bay.” In Lagoon, Kelman merges an abstracted body of silk water with bamboo structures that ensemble towers or bridges. Artist Jessica Strauss has three pieces in the exhibition from her Packing for Mars series. In Missing You, Blue Planet, and No More Polar Ice Cap, human figures gaze at images of Earth. The sculptures express “black humor, longing, and regret” as Strauss looks toward a “future when humans must flee a devastated Earth to settle on far flung and arid worlds.” 

​

​

Several artists use traditional domestic crafts such as crochet, embroidery, and sewing in innovative ways. In her three sculptures Ascent, Larvae, and Nests, Michelle Lougee crochets post-consumer plastic bags into monumental sculptures, which “examine the relationships between humans, plastic, and nature amidst irreversible environmental changes”. Cascading from the ceiling, Keri Straka’s “Soft Cell Division” is composed of stuffed and sewn textiles. According to Straka, “the suspended sculpture is evocative of the ebb and flow of human life as mirrored in the blooming of a single cell.” Her sculpture, “Portal: Past” is made of multiple wooden embroidery hoops of varying sizes with water-color painted fabric embedded with a wide range of materials to represent dividing cells and biological cycles.  

​

​

Since the majority of sculptors are women, it is only natural that some artwork addresses feminine sensibilities, and as mentioned, domestic life. Ellen Schön has four ceramic pieces in the exhibition. Two of her pieces – Five Hills Font and Lotus Pod – are part of her Wellspring Series. For Schön, “the pieces in this series explore the ceramic vessel as a wellspring or womb. They are meant to evoke sources of life-whirlpools, fonts, pods, seed of hope, as well as the landscape of the female body.” Several of Jodie Colella’s sculptures are ceramic and one incorporates fabric. According to Colella, her three pieces – Offspring, Seeds, and Attempts at Conviviality Exhaust Me – “comingle rigid forms with fibers to create vessels containing the stories that embody domestic life.” 

​

​

Elemental is curated by Flinn Gallery committee members, Barbra Fordyce and Nancy Heller. It will include over 40 works of art by the following Boston Sculptors Gallery artists: 

​

 Jodie Colella (clay, fiber, stone, and mixed media), Carrie Crane (mixed media),  

​

Anna Kristina Goransson (felt and wool), Mo Kelman (silk, wood, and mixed media), Michelle Lougee (crocheted plastic and wire), Ellen Schön (stoneware and fired-clay), Julia Shepley (mixed media), Keri Straka (fabric and mixed media), Jessica Strauss (mixed media), Margaret Swan (aluminum), Nora Valdez (limestone), Leslie Wilcox (steel screen and mixed media), and Andy Zimmerman (wood).

​

The Glass House, a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to present Barbara Kasten: Structure, Light, Land. For five decades, Chicago-based artist Barbara Kasten has created photographs and sculptural installations that reorient our sense of perception and explore the dynamic relationship between space, material, and form. Her artistic influences are deeply rooted in modernist architecture, the principles of Constructivism, and the interdisciplinary legacy of the Bauhaus, particularly the photograms of László Moholy-Nagy and Lucia Moholy.

​

“Placing my work in and around The Glass House campus is an opportunity for me to take on a canonical modernist site. Each of the structures on the grounds is like a monument to one of many aesthetic phases of architectural history. Abstraction allows us to consider possibilities that are not the norm,” said Barbara Kasten.

​

Structure, Light, Land features Kasten’s work from multiple series, including Architectural Sites, Collisions, and Progressions, as well as new iterations of digital projections, cyanotypes, and sculptures. With a striking interplay of light, color, and form, Kasten’s work infiltrates the grounds of The Glass House and responds to the site’s varied built environment and landscape.

​

In the Brick House (1949), Kasten’s brilliantly hued Architectural Site 1, June 10, 1986–featuring the Philip Johnson-designed Lipstick Building (1986) in Manhattan–resonates with the ’80s postmodern interior of the Reading Room, which includes two 1986 Feltri Chairs designed by Gaetano Pesce. Five new cyanotypes by Kasten line the building’s serene 1949 hallway, illuminated by the circular skylights above.

​

Kasten’s new installation of fluorescent acrylic I-beams, modeled after the structural components of the Glass House, will be interspersed throughout the Sculpture Gallery (1970). The seven-foot-long beams respond to the site’s permanent collection of works by Frank Stella, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, George Segal, and Michael Heizer. The intervention brings attention to the structure’s exposed I-beam twenty feet overhead and responds to the gallery’s interior patterning of ever-changing natural light and winding staircases.

​

The Painting Gallery (1965) features three works: a photograph from the Collision series and two sculptural Progressions. Situated near Stella’s shaped canvases, Kasten’s fluorescent forms extend the narrative around post-painterly abstraction across mediums and into the present moment.

​

Da Monsta (1995), the last building Johnson designed at The Glass House, was named following a conversation between Johnson and the critic Herbert Muschamp. It was inspired in part by German Expressionism, an unrealized museum design by Frank Stella, and the work of Frank Gehry. Kasten’s Sideways Corner (2016/2025), a video projection of three-dimensional cubes in primary colors, activates the warped and torqued walls.

​

The exhibition is curated by Cole Akers, Curator at The Glass House.

​

Special thanks to Bortolami Gallery, New York.

​

The 2025 Glass House tour season begins on April 17, 2025. Tickets are available now! All tours include access to the newly restored Brick House. Following an extensive restoration project , we are excited to share this essential design element of the site and its history with you!
