IMPERMANENCE
Gallery A3's 9th Annual Juried Show
Gallery A3 announces its 9th Annual Juried Show, on display from August 1–31, 2024. “The theme is IMPERMANENCE,” noted exhibit co-coordinator Paula Hite, “embracing art that speaks to the ever-changing, transient, and often cyclical nature of all things as experienced in the realm of human relationships and emotions and as encountered in the material and natural worlds.” The juror, Maria Timina, is the Curator of Russian and European Art at the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College. An Opening Reception will be on Thursday, August 1, 5–8:00 pm, and an online Art Forum, open to the public, is scheduled for Thursday, August 15, at 7:30 pm.
“Gallery A3’s Annual Juried Show brings together established, professional artists and emerging artists who are exhibiting their work for the first time,” said Hite. Artworks selected this year include fiber art (a new category!), paintings, prints, photographs, collage/mixed media, drawings, and sculpture. Artists from 32 towns in Massachusetts submitted work and, in addition to Massachusetts, submissions came from Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
“…Given the space limitations, jurying out some pieces was truly heart-wrenching,” noted Timina. “I hope that the selected works offer a glimpse into the variety of perspectives within the local artistic community, while also revealing some kind of congeniality in our shared experience of impermanence.”

JUROR BIOGRAPHY
Maria Timina is Curator of Russian and European Art at the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College. Before arriving in the United States in January 2023, she was a PhD candidate in art history at Lomonosov Moscow State University and worked as curator at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, a museum that possesses one of the largest world art collections from Ancient Egypt and Greece to our days. Maria has a rich experience in studying and interpreting artworks from different cultures and periods, with a special focus on modern art. As a scholar, she has published and presented papers on the work of radical avant-garde artists from the former Russian Empire and the early Soviet Union. Among her research interests are modern color theories and practices, the evolution of abstract painting, and fakes and forgeries in art. As an expert in the work of the avant-garde artist Ivan Kliun, she assisted the German police in their investigations of suspected forgeries of his work and was recently featured in the BBC documentary “The Zaks Affair: Anatomy of a Fake Collection” (2024). |
