Don't Feed the Birds at 100 Lagoon Pond
DONT FEED THE BIRDS opens Friday July 7, 2023:
Take the Day: Fourteen Exhibitions that Warrent Art-Filled Trips Across New England. Boston Art Review June 20, 2023:
100 Lagoon Pond: Floating Gallery
Vineyard Haven, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
“Please Don’t Feed The Birds,” July 7–September 10, 2023
Perched at the end of a boat ramp in a Vineyard Haven harbor, 100 Lagoon Pond is the latest project by artist Marion Wilson, who has repurposed an all-wooden houseboat into a contemplative site for art and ecologies. The inaugural exhibition, “Please Don’t Feed the Birds,” features an impressive and eclectic smattering of artworks by Melissa Friedling, Lyle Ashton Harris, Karsen Heagle, Sheida Soleimani, and Marion Wilson. Though varying in medium, each artwork centers birds as collaborators and interlocutors for considering everything from queer identities to pollution and extinction. Out on the gallery’s back deck, guests will be level with all the wildlife that call the marshy harbor their home—yet another reminder of our ecological interconnectedness.

HEKATE'S GROVE at Five Myles
A fitting presentation for the season of the witch, "Hekate’s Grove" is a three-person exhibition featuring Karen Heagle (painter), Elizabeth Insogna (sculptor) and Kay Turner (performer and folklorist). The installation of works and performances unfold the archetype of Hekate for twenty-first century contemplation and inspiration from her symbolic access point as Greek underworld deity, to one which unveils other occult dimensions in fuller detail and focus. These include her dissolution of barriers between the animal and human realm, her connection to older chthonic forms of the goddess, and her widely regarded agency as an autonomous deity who serves no master, not even Zeus, yet is a profoundly compassionate provider and caretaker.
