SUMMARY:Interpreting the Natural: Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
DESCRIPTION:The Duxbury Art Center present \nInterpreting the Natural:\nContemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks\nSeptember 20\, 2026 – January 17\, 2027\nReception: Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \n\nGuest Curator\, Donna Dodson\, brings together ten artists whose\npractices engage with the ancient Chinese tradition of appreciating\nnaturally occurring stones as vessels of contemplation\, metaphor\, and\nimaginative space. The exhibition explores how today’s artists\nreinterpret the spirit of scholars’ rocks through a range of materials\,\nscales\, and conceptual approaches. \nRather than replicating historical forms\, the featured works consider how nature is shaped; physically\, culturally\, and spiritually. Some artists emphasize geological presence and raw materiality\, while others evoke symbolic landscapes\, cosmology\, or interior states. Together\, these contemporary responses extend a centuries-old dialogue between art and nature\, inviting\nviewers to slow down and recognize the power of the organic world to\nprompt reflection and wonder. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on an enduring artistic lineage\, bridging tradition and innovation. \nParticipating artists\nChristopher Frost\, Kate Gilbert\, Danielle Krcmar\,\nLisa Tang Liu\, Kathy Della Lucia\, Andy Moerlein\, Wen-hao Tien\, Alice\nWu\, Yu-Wev Wu\, Qhanzhou (Jack) Zhao \n\n

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - Interpreting the Natural: Contemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks
DESCRIPTION:The Duxbury Art Center present \nInterpreting the Natural:\nContemporary Visions of Scholars’ Rocks\nSeptember 20\, 2026 – January 17\, 2027\nReception: Sunday\, September 20\, 2026\, 1:00 – 4:00 pm \n\nGuest Curator\, Donna Dodson\, brings together ten artists whose\npractices engage with the ancient Chinese tradition of appreciating\nnaturally occurring stones as vessels of contemplation\, metaphor\, and\nimaginative space. The exhibition explores how today’s artists\nreinterpret the spirit of scholars’ rocks through a range of materials\,\nscales\, and conceptual approaches. \nRather than replicating historical forms\, the featured works consider how nature is shaped; physically\, culturally\, and spiritually. Some artists emphasize geological presence and raw materiality\, while others evoke symbolic landscapes\, cosmology\, or interior states. Together\, these contemporary responses extend a centuries-old dialogue between art and nature\, inviting\nviewers to slow down and recognize the power of the organic world to\nprompt reflection and wonder. This exhibition offers a fresh perspective on an enduring artistic lineage\, bridging tradition and innovation. \nParticipating artists\nChristopher Frost\, Kate Gilbert\, Danielle Krcmar\,\nLisa Tang Liu\, Kathy Della Lucia\, Andy Moerlein\, Wen-hao Tien\, Alice\nWu\, Yu-Wev Wu\, Qhanzhou (Jack) Zhao \n\n
