: With the reopening of its refurbished galleries in the
Provincetown Art Colony, the Provincetown Art Association and
Museum's (PAAM) summer 2004 exhibition schedule includes the
following highlights:
Provincetown photographer Joel Meyerowitz's captured scenes of
Ground Zero and his world-renowned exhibit "Aftermath" provokes
visitors to delve into the irony produced when photojournalism's
objectivity reacts with one's personal response to tragedy.
This exhibit will be accompanied by a panel discussion exploring
the relationship between images and art, as well as historical
representation and propaganda. It opens July 30 and runs through
September 5.
Truro's Catherine Widgery is among the artists to begin the
summer season with a site-specific installation June 11-July 25,
its concept having been actively evolved by the artist during
2003-2004 using found objects and a suspended "whirlpool"
abstraction into which visitors can walk and experience.
Also June 11-July 25, the work of painter Angelo Ippolito will
engage visitors in the mid-Twentieth Century world of Abstract
Expressionism, challenging them to gaze into the works' quality
of light and atmosphere that is often contrasted against the work
of the painter's peers, who included Jackson Pollack and Willem
de Kooning.
Hananiah Harari's body of work defies categorization, as is his
preference that art be "inclusive, not exclusive." His preference
to work in a variety of styles ranging from the abstract Fauvist
and Cubist schools, to techniques that incorporated printmaking
and etching that made Harari's art accessible and affordable. The
exhibition opens September 10 and runs through October 24.
PAAM is at 460 Commercial Street. For information about these
exhibitions and other PAAM programs and events, 508-487-1750 or
