D.E. MAY is a Salem based artist who has been working for forty-one years. He uses materials collected from "Island Salem" in his work. These discarded materials, weathered from time and the elements, desire nothing more than to evoke the feeling of his native land. In his upcoming exhibition, Memory of Line: Grids, Templates and Miniatures he will be exhibiting new templates, miniatures, and large-scale grids.
The paintings in Michael Lazarus' Recent Works are created from found materials, clean lines, graphic pattern, and intense color. Many include commercial signage and lettering reconfigured to create statements or questions. His work explores the dualities of human existence; "anxiety and joy, hardship and pleasure, darkness and light". Recent Works | Michael Lazarus
Alone Together is the newest body of work by artist Eva Speer. Speer's work concerns "the contradictory forces of a majesty and rawness outside language and a helpless dependence on the world that has already tamed it". Using industrial materials and mechanical processes, Speer creates compelling works that blends organic and mechanical to fashion something from "the haze of the everyday". Alone Together | Eva Speer Curator Sven Davis invited 22 international artists to produce one artwork at 16x20 inches and one at 8x8 inches. Next, each of the participants invited a fellow artist to also produce two artworks of the same scale. The work will be shown at Breeze Block Gallery in a grid arrangement with the invited artist and their buddy's work presented together. And in gallery 2 ...

For the past five years the Atomic Arts theater company has delighted audiences with "Trek in the Park", their interpretation of classic Star Trek episodes. It has become one of the city's most beloved summer past times. "Five Year Mission" - A "Trek in the Park" Retrospective Exhibition showcases the evolution of Trek in the Park's set and prop design. "The exhibition includes set pieces by property masters Steven Schmucker and Mike Estes, costumes by Marge Rosko, promotional artwork by Alex Fernandez, and various props by Charlie Babbage, Geahk Burchill, and Benja Barker". For the opening reception, many of the cast and crew will be in attendance and in full costume. "Five Year Mission" - A "Trek in the Park" Retrospective Exhibition | Atomic Arts
In conjunction with PICA's TBA:13, the Feldman Gallery + Project Space presents a solo exhibition by A.L. Steiner. A.L. Steiner uses "constructions of photography, video, installation, collage, collaboration, writing, performance, and curatorial work as seductive tropes channeled through the sensibility of an activated skeptical queer ecofeminist androgyne. This survey will take an expansive view of her projects across mediums and spanning her solo and collaborative projects". Feelings and How to Destroy Them | A.L.
