The Odyssey
Project: An Old Story for Modern Times
Fifteen women artists, all members of a long-running book
group, were inspired to create art in response to Emily Wilson’s remarkable new
translation of The Odyssey; the first English translation by a woman. The
artists explore in different styles and media, the characters and topics covered
in Homer’s ancient poem: the meaning of home; the near impossibility of
returning home; loyalty; families; migrants; war; poverty; identity;
transformation.
Emily Mason: To
Another Place
This exhibition traces the artistic arc of a career of a
painter who encounters the world as a seamless aesthetic experience. Mason
revels in the beauty of paint itself. She explores and exploits it materiality,
pushing technique to the edge. She possesses a remarkable constancy of vision
supported by an increasingly nuanced mastery of paint and form. Organized by
the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center.
