Entitled “Triage II,” the exhibit will feature individual and collaborative works by the three artists.
About the artists:
Bert Yarborough studied architecture, photography and site-specific sculpture and had a Fulbright scholarship to study carving with a fourth-generation Nigerian tribesman before returning to the United States to make his name as a pointer. He has been awarded grants and fellowships, worked as a curator and gallery director, and is now an associate professor of art at Colby-Sawyer College in London, N.H.
Paul Bowen, who grew up in a seaside town in Wales, lived and worked near the waterfront in Provincetown on Cape Cod for more than 30 years, which proved to be an evident influence on his art form. Constructed from sea-worn wood fragments, sticks and scraps of metal, his abstract sculptures are remnants of the fishing draggers from which he finds his inspiration, and often appear to float across or torque away from the surface of the wall. Since moving to Vermont in 2005, Bowen has continued crafting his passion for creating earthy wood art. His new sculptures combine gathered driftwood from Provincetown beaches with wood from the
Wilder Dam in New Hampshire. He now works as a visiting professor at Dartmouth College.
M. P. Landis’ current work is a palimpsest of the processes, materials and emotions of his existence. He has collaborated with musician Tom Abbs, visual artists Michael Sanzone and Les Seifer, writers Nick Flynn and Fred Schmalz, and others. Landis has taught at the summer workshop program at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Mass. He is a creative and A&R consultant for Northern Spy Records. His work is represented in many private and public collections, including the New York Public Library, the Peabody Essex Museum, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the DeCordova Museum, the Naples Museum of Art, and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Before moving to Brooklyn in 1996, he lived year-round in Provincetown, Mass., and spent his childhood traveling around the world with his Mennonite missionary parents.
The Christine Price Gallery is located on the Castleton College campus and is open Monday through Friday with hours of operation from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
