Artist: Matthew Murray Medium: Photography Venue: Pioneer Arts Center of Easthampton Address: 41 Union St Event: We will be hosting photographer Matthew Murray and several pieces from his collection. Murray has been fascinated with ruins since a very young age, but it was his work in the mental health field and his interest in its history that led him to actively pursue abandoned asylums. From that point forward, he began searching for as many different styles of abandonments as he could find; currently he has photographed derelict prisons, schools, amusement parks, ships, quarries, refineries, resorts, factories, distilleries, stockyards, houses, and many more. His website and photography were designed to help others understand his love for forgotten and unappreciated structures and to share the sites with those who may not have the chance to see them before they are erased. Currently still working in the mental health field, Matthew has displayed his pictures at many galleries, been featured in several publications, published a collection of his photography, assisted historical and preservation societies, and given lectures on his work. He plans to continue his efforts to visit and document as many sites as possible. You can visit his website at www.abandonedamerica.org Purchase Contact: Matthew Murray admin@abandonedamerica.org

Artist: 'Bricks, Mortar, and Steel' paintings by Barbara Johnson Medium: Painting - Oil Venue: Venus & The Cellar Bar Address: 95 Main St. Event: Artist Barbara Johnson will be exhibiting her recent millscapes—paintings of familiar scenes around the industrial areas of Easthampton—during Easthampton Art Walk Saturday June 13, 2009 -5 to 8 pm at the new Venus and the Cellar Bar, 95 Main Street in Easthampton and throughout the summer. It’s a particularly appropriate venue for the work. The brick walls of the new restaurant interior echo the theme of mill building materials reflected in the form, texture, and patterns in Johnson’s paintings. The hum of industry is present right down the street in the many Easthampton businesses housed in the old West Boylston Company buildings, while others have become offices, homes, and studios for artists. As once-stalwart buildings surrender to time and nature, Johnson has been capturing in oil and watercolor this poetry of transition, much as our economy shifts from industry to service.
