Reception: Thursday, January 9, 6-8pm RSVP
Broken Beauty is a juried exhibit of Cambridge Art Association Member work, juried by Cathleen Daley (Co-Founder/Director of Room 83 Spring). As a companion to Broken Beauty, Cathleen has also curated Soft Shoulder, an exhibit featuring 10 artists at CAA’s Kathryn Schultz Gallery.
About Broken Beauty | Broken Beauty explores reverence for the flawed and imperfect — be it simply pointing to and honoring, or an act of rescue, restoration and mending whole. From remnants and rubble, and futility to utility, art selected for this show will exalt the everyday, the ordinary, and the ephemeral and through artistic intervention express and question value, viability, principal, and perception. Points of view can extend from humor to homage.
About our Juror | Cathleen Daley is an artist, writer, curator and co-founder of Room 83 Spring, an artist-run project space in Watertown, MA. Established in 2014, Room 83 Spring presents thematic concept-driven group shows that entwine disciplines in fresh visual conversation.
Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Cathleen Daley’s artistic perspective grew to include a melding of high, low, and compound aesthetics. At the time, Buffalo an industrial city in decline, was home to a reverent, hardworking and artistically tolerant people, largely immigrants and their offspring with honed skills in the trades and domestic crafts – generations of handworkers. In this environment, as a young artist, she immersed herself in formative contrasts, from the superb collection of the Albright Knox Art Gallery … to the experimental boundary-blurring and interdisciplinary Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in its inception … to the personal workshops, sewing rooms and kitchens of family and friends. Daley’s own studio practice and curatorial impulse embrace such a spectrum of expression and an ongoing commitment to vibrant inclusive exchange.
Currently Boston-based, Ms. Daley holds an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and a BFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She has actively participated as a mentor, juror, review board panelist, and visiting artist for MassArt, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Concord, Cambridge, and Duxbury Art Associations, as well as studio visits and exhibition consulting with individual artists. Her essays and independent reviews of exhibitions have been published at Big Red + Shiny.
Represented by Provincetown’s Alden Gallery, Cathleen Daley’s paintings and installations have been presented in numerous museums, universities, and galleries, including OK Harris, NY; New Britain Museum of American Art; Fitchburg, Provincetown and Nassau County Art Museums. Reviews of her work have been published in the Boston Globe, Art New England and artscope. Her studio is in Waltham MA.
