Alexandra Sheldon and Steve Imrich | Concord Art
37 Lexington Road Concord, MA
February 24 -March 24, 2022
Opening Reception: March 10, Thursday 5:30-7pm
Observing things from above helps me make sense of relationships that I might otherwise miss. To visualize a ‘layout’ like a map allows me to play with information that can be extracted to one layer and abstracted in ways to multiply other effects and meanings beyond those directly observed. The experiments with layering are not as literal as collage, but some of the same process ideas apply to the decisions as the paintings evolve, where intentional definitions meet accidental juxtapositions and develop their own stimulus for a response. Of course, the homogeneity of paint media eliminates the dynamic of overlapping edges, but that challenge to engage within a single surface is something compelling to try. The work in this exhibit includes a variety of investigations, including some sequential observations from a single hike up New Hampshire’s Mt. Lafayette in the fall.
This exhibition includes work from Alexandra Sheldon and CAA member, Steve Imrich.

126 Main Street, Northampton, MA 01060
March 9 – April 1, 2022
Artists Reception: Friday, March 11, 2022 5-8 PM.
Crossing Cultures is an art exhibition about family, memory, displacement, and identity from the point of view of six visual artists with roots in five regions: Asia (India and Iran), South America (Peru), North America (Mexico), The Caribbean (Cuba and Haiti) and Europe (Germany). Through the use of vintage family photographs, and the use of different mediums: photography, painting, mixed media and video, these artists uncover their family stories and create complex, multidimensional narratives to reflect upon what they have left behind while shifting countries and at the same time honoring and remembering family traditions and vanishing ways of life.
This exhibition includes several artists including CAA members Astrid Reischwitz, Claudia Ruiz Gustafson, Nilou Moochhala, Vivian Poey, and Nicolas Hyacinthe.
Claudia Ruiz Gustafson is a Peruvian Latinx visual artist, curator, and CAA member whose practice engages photography, assemblage, poetry, and artist bookmaking. Her work is mainly autobiographical and self-reflective; her cross-cultural experience and Peruvian heritage deeply inform her art-making. To learn about Claudia & her work, check out her website.
Astrid Reischwitz is a lens-based artist whose work explores storytelling from a personal perspective. Using keepsakes from family life, old photographs, and storytelling strategies, she builds a visual world of memory, identity, place, and home. Her current focus is the exploration of personal and collective memory influenced by her upbringing in Germany. To learn more about Astrid & her work, check out her website.
Nilou Moochhala’s visual practice (art & design) has been channeled into examining issues of cross-cultural change and transformation through collaging and assemblage techniques. Originally from Mumbai, she has been inspired to juxtapose found objects, memorabilia, and use of language to create social and political narratives, be it in public street spaces or private art galleries. To learn more about Nilou & her work, check out her website.
Vivian Poey is a faculty member in the College of Art and Design. As an artist and educator, Vivian engages the arts as a process of investigation both in and out of the classroom. Her photographic work examines a number of issues ranging from history, migration and cultural assimilation to the passing of time. She is American, born in Mexico of Cuban parents and lived in Guatemala and Colombia before moving to the U.S. Learn more about Vivian here.
