Boston Cyberarts and the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority (MCCA) will present five new works created by five teams of women artists for “Art on the Marquee,” the largest and most dynamic digital display for public media art in Boston. Five internationally renowned female artists will be paired with five new media artists to collaboratively create the new work for the 80-foot-tall multi-screen LED marquee outside the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, 415 Summer Street, Boston, MA in South Boston. An opening reception will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 6:30-8:30pm.
According to Boston Cyberarts Director George Fifield “We are thrilled to be presenting work by ten of Boston‘s most accomplished female artists who’ve received significant acclaim both nationally and internationally for their work. With this round, we hope to expand the possibilities of the marquee by marrying unique styles and ideas.”
The artist pairings are Mags Harries (public art) and Catherine Siller (interdisciplinary artist/performer); Nathalie Miebach (sculptor) and Allison Maria Rodriguez (multi-media artist & filmmaker); Emily Eveleth (painter) and Amy Baxter Macdonald (animation and digital artist); Deb Todd Wheeler and Lina Maria Giraldo; and Ambreen Butt (painter) and Cindy Bishop Sherman (interdisciplinary artist).
