From the Publisher - May 2025

I understand that mergers are important and yet so is journalistic integrity. Or is it? Sure, let’s merge Paramount and Skydance into a $28 billion dollar entity. What else can we merge that will force award-winning, independent thinking journalists to bail out because independent thinking is pretty much against the law now? There was a moment when I could not keep up with all that was happening in this administration’s first one hundred days. Then the assault on the arts began in full force.
Seeing Landscape

Nov 5, 2024 | artnewengland.com | Charles Bonenti

This seemingly disparate, yet smartly edited exhibition is the fourth at what Cristina Barbedo calls her “emerging gallery” founded last April in North Berkshire’s historic Norad Mill. A Brazilian-born ceramist turned jewelry designer, Barbedo seeks out (by networking and trolling social media) visual artists who catch her eye, then links them with others who share stylistic or narrative traits to curate an exhibition.
Studio Visit: Jessica Scriver

Nov 5, 2024 | artnewengland.com | Amy Lilly

Jessica Scriver’s home studio in Charlotte, Vermont, looks west to a stunning view of the Adirondack Mountains beyond Lake Champlain. A camera would capture the vista as a static shot; for the artist, it’s an expression of natural growth, movement, deterioration and reactive change—all elements of her artistic process. Scriver’s paintings on panel probe how seemingly fixed or predictable patterns can shift, alter and dissolve over time, given their complex embeddedness in an unstable world.

The Steel Yard—located on the former Providence Steel and Iron site, a manufacturing facility established in 1902—is a dynamic hub for creativity and experimentation in the industrial arts in Providence, Rhode Island.

As we ponder the swiftness of life’s current, we reflect on Carver’s prose. What does it mean to feel oneself beloved? To feel loved, yes. Yet is he not suggesting something more? What of one’s inner space? To have lived, or be living, a life that is meaningful and thoughtful, and to be kind and do good, and to have given birth, metaphorically, to that beauty within, that which is within you, that which brings nourishment and beauty to the self, and extends to others.

Jul 25, 2024 | artnewengland.com | Loren King

“Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round” Recalls Little-Known Protest in Summer of 1960Summertime amusement parks filled with roller coasters, carousels, cotton candy, and dodgem cars are so much a part of many childhood memories. That’s one of the reasons the documentary Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round is so eye-opening and profound. Through interviews and archival footage, director Ilana Trachtman examines a little-known chapter in the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.

What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine

Jul 8, 2024 | artnewengland.com | Charles Bonenti

In a fraught election season, this retrospective on the art of pioneering counter-cultural MAD magazine illustrates how laughter can be a tool for social and political change. Co-curated by the Rockwell’s chief curator Stephanie Haboush Plunkett and illustrator/art journalist Steve Brodner, it showcases over 250 images by more than thirty artists in a dense, yet comic, multilayered exhibition that says as much about artistic collaboration as it does about lampooning American culture.
