Throughout the summer of 2021, Hamilton will lead workshops that celebrate the community through collaborative artmaking. Participants will create decorations and paper sculptures that reflect their spirit and ideas. "Shared creativity is such a powerful community asset,” the artist says. “I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Nashua community to create this special project" Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess is excited for this endeavor to get underway. “Thank you to the Currier and Elisa H. Hamilton for being great partners on this special collaboration.

  • Performing the New Face of Modernism: Anti-Mimetic Portraiture and the American Avant-Garde, 1912–1927
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PERFORMING THE NEW FACE OF MODERNISM: ANTI-MIMETIC PORTRAITURE AND THE AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE, 1912–1927 Jonathan Frederick Walz, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Dr. Sally M. Promey Department of Art History and Archaeology At the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession in 1912, Alfred Stieglitz received the final proofs for Gertrude Stein’s experimental text portraits “Henri Matisse” and “Pablo Picasso” and subsequently published these poems in the journal Camera Work . Soon afterward a number of visual artists working in the United States began grappling with the implications of such hermetic depictions. Entering into a trans-Atlantic conversation, this fledgling modernist community created radical images that bear witness to the evolving nature of subjectivity and to an extensive culture of experimentation in portraying the individual in the first quarter of the twentieth century. One of the most salient aspects of the modernist worldview was the desire to break with the past. Earlier styles, exhibition standards, subject matter, and teaching methods all came under attack, but none more basic—and symbolic—than the ancient Greek (via the Renaissance) idea of mimesis. Freed from the expectation to replicate reality “impartially,” painters and sculptors began instead to emphasize more and more their own subjective experiences through expressive color choices or formal exaggerations. Portraiture, previously so closely linked to flattering transcription and bourgeois values, became the genre par excellence for testing modernist ideals and practices. This doctoral thesis examines the small group of artists working in the United States who advanced an extreme, anti-mimetic approach to portraiture through the dissociation of the sitter from his or her likeness.

  • The Currier Museum of Art Expands Its Artist-In-Residence Program
    The Currier Museum of Art expands its Art-in-Residence program Guest artist seeks to understand Manchester’s neighborhoods Manchester, NH - August 6, 2019 – The Currier Museum of Art welcomes Larissa Fassler as its latest artist-in- residence. While in Manchester, Fassler will be investigating the neighborhoods surrounding the museum. She creates drawings and sculptures that explore the symbiotic relationship between humans and the built environment. She will give a public talk at the museum about her work and what she has discovered on Sunday August 11 at 2pm. Fassler is interested in exploring the history and architecture of Manchester. More importantly, she seeks to learn about the socioeconomic issues that shape our community physically and psychologically. Fassler plans to undertake archival research and speak with members of the community. She will also spend days walking through neighborhoods, taking notes on her impressions and mapping her observations. Curator of Contemporary Art Samantha Cataldo said, “It will be enlightening to see our community anew through her eyes, and to benefit from her creative mode of research that prompts introspection.” This exploratory process may result in a larger exhibition or project. Larissa Fassler (b. 1975, Vancouver) has lived and worked in Berlin, Germany since 1999. She earned a BFA from Concordia University, Montreal, and an MFA from Goldsmiths’ College, London. She is a recipient of the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. This latest residency is a collaboration with the Institute of Art and Design at New England College (formerly NHIA). Fassler will hold workshops with faculty and students during her time in Manchester.
