SUMMARY:CLOSING DAY: Rania Matar: SHE
DESCRIPTION:Closing Day\nRania Matar: SHE\nSunday\, February 11 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nEnjoy a last chance to view Rania Matar: SHE. SHE features 50 large-scale color images of contemporary girls transitioning into womanhood by Lebanese-American photographer Rania Matar. Born and raised in Lebanon\, Matar moved to the United States in 1984. She has dedicated her work to exploring issues of personal and collective identity\, through photographs of female adolescence and adulthood. Matar works both in the United States and the Middle East\, in an effort to focus on notions of identity and individuality within the context of the underlying universality of these experiences. \nThis exhibition focuses on young women in their 20s—the ages of Matar’s own daughters—as they leave the cocoon of home and enter adulthood. In earlier projects\, Matar photographed young women in relation to the controlled environment of their bedrooms. Here\, she captures them in the larger arena they find themselves in after leaving home—the global and complicated backdrop that now constitutes their lives in transition. Organized by The Museum Box LLC\, Boston\, MA.

SUMMARY:CLOSING DAY: Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination
DESCRIPTION:Closing Day\nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination\nSunday\, February 18 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nEnjoy a last chance to view Ginny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination. \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination combines traditional sculpture with augmented reality (AR). By using technology to overlay digital information onto sculptural objects\, two disparate environments are portrayed. The setting is an apocalyptic landscape far in the future. The initial environment consists of five landmasses\, which support the glass stumps. Except for the painted shelf mushrooms and tree rings on the stumps and logs\, the scene is colorless. The landmasses surround a sixth rocky outcropping that features a large fiberglass stump. The central stump sprouts beautifully grotesque bronze\, then glass appendages. This improbable growth has survived the devastation to create a new botany. \n“Other than the central stump\, the landscape appears at first glance to be barren. Yet\, upon viewing the tree rings aided by AR technology a second environment is revealed. Plants appear (both fruit and flowers) which have evolved from existing flora. They have developed dramatic appendages and the skills necessary to adapt and flourish in this radically different environment. From accessing nutrients in ways that symbiotically improve their surrounding conditions\, to cultivating protections from new threats\, these adaptations are unexpected\, beautiful\, and optimistic. This is nature reimagining itself. The imagination cannot be exterminated. It just recreates itself.” —Ginny Ruffner \nGinny Ruffner: Reforestation of the Imagination is organized by the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Generous support for this exhibition is provided by Art Bridges\, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative\, Elizabeth and James Eisenstein\, Ed and Kathy Fries\, Shelby and Frederick Gans\, James Renwick Alliance\, Colleen and John Kotelly\, Betty and Whitney MacMillan\, Jacqueline B. Mars\, Kim and Jon Shirley Foundation\, and Myra and Harold Weiss.
