Fuse Visual Arts Review: “Convergence: Boston Sculptors Gallery Exhibits on the Christian Science Plaza”

The show was like topping a delicate wedge of artisanal cheese with a handful of artisanal trail mix. Both the Christian Science Plaza and the sculptures themselves are exquisite on their own, but together the experience felt disjointed and oddly incompatible.

Fuse Visual Arts Feature: The Design Museum Boston Invites You to Sit Yourself Down

In a modest tweak of Dorothy Fields’ lyrics to the famous Jerome Kern song, this weekend will be Boston’s chance, via the Design Museum Boston, to sit yourself down, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

Visual Arts Review: COLLISION18:present — The Expanding Range of Cyberarts

The more cerebral visitor may leave “Collision18:present” wondering if, like the classic definition of what constitutes pornography, ‘cyberart’ is firmly situated in the eye of the beholder (or of the curators).

Fuse Feature: Artisan’s Asylum — A Unique Organizational Mashup

Part of the great experiment that is Artisan’s Asylum: meeting your neighbors, realizing you need someone to help you solder/weld/create a 3d prototype, and then wandering amongst the open workspaces until you meet a co-collaborator.

Visual Arts Review: Flowers as the Work Table for the Imagination

Inescapably erotic, flowers are all about desire. What are they but a glorious exhibition and frame of their own genitals?

Visual Arts: Pythagoras Returns — Sound Sculpture at Kendall T Stop Chimes Again (Revised)

What the artist didn’t count on was the popularity of the Kendall Band, coupled with its fragility relative to the strength and number of its users, would result in frequent breakdowns. The Kendall Band was the only interactive piece of public art in the MBTA’s “Arts on the Line” program, and the agency had no […]

Visual Arts: My Main Man Mani — A Persian Preacher Who Made Art and Founded a Religion

I have a weakness for cosmic audacity. The history of religions, which I studied before art history, is full of examples that give me a deep inner thrill.
