The Washington Street Art Center maintains a year round exhibition schedule in its gallery space, 321. The schedule features up to 12 exhibitions a year, most of which are reserved for the WSAC artist members. Past years' schedules have occasionally featured work from the larger arts community through juried exhibitions or hosting the work of outside curators, such as the Somerville Arts Council Grant Recipient Exhibition.
Gallery hours: Saturdays 12-4 or by appointment
Upcoming Exhibitions:
photography by Lee Kilpatrick
Reception: July 3, 2009, 6-9 PM
On View: July 3-25, 2009, Saturdays 12-4 PM
The Washington Street Art Center presents the opening of photographer Lee Kilpatrick's new work, Spatial Relations, on Friday, July 3rd. Through candid images, Kilpatrick examines the ways in which people and their environment impact each other, utilizing both conventional and panoramic photography. Spatial Relations will be on view through Saturday, July 25, 2009.
"My goal is to take pictures of people who are unaware of the photographer, but also unaware of themselves," says Kilpatrick. Captured in everyday activities, such as waiting in an airport, holding an umbrella, or lying in a hospital bed, the subjects reveal internal and often private moments.
In Kilpatrick's current show, "space" can mean anything from an airport waiting area to the vast body of a camel. The subjects interact with the physical space of their environment, but also become compositional elements interacting with negative space.
