Further on Down the Yellow Brick Road w/ Jack Massey & Michael Yefko

By -

Hera Gallery is pleased host Further on Down the Yellow Brick Road, an exhibition highlighting the work of Hera Members Jack Massey & Michael Yefko. We invite the public to join us Saturday, May 16th from 6:00 to 8:00pm for the opening reception.
"The Market is a Snake" - Michael Yefko 
"Further On Down The Yellow Brick Road is an art exhibition at Hera Gallery that will feature works by Jack Massey and Michael Yefko. The two artists will exhibit Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional works that explore temporal aspects of geometry within an entropic reality. As if that was not enough, they will exhibit works that also reveal the humor that comes from a modernist’s utopic sensibility meeting a great wind of change blowing across, through, and against creative freedom. The fear is always that audiences will either read too much or too little between the lines. Both artists admit that one reason for coming together to create this exhibition is that they are willing to take that chance.
Michael Yefko first encountered Jack Massey as his teacher on RISD’s European Honors Program in Rome while Professor Massey served as Chief Critic in 1977. They have remained friends and for a while were colleagues (1981-2000) teaching in the Foundation Studies Program at RISD. Professor Massey has just become Professor Emeritus at RISD while Michael Yefko works at his art and is a Part Time Faculty member at The University of Rhode Island."
"It's About Euclid" - Jack Massey
The exhibition will be open May 16th to June 20th on all days the Gallery is open (Wed-Fri 1pm-5pm, Sat 10am-4pm). 


We hope to see you at the opening reception and hope you stop by throughout these next couple of weeks!

Repost regarding installation at Providence Place Mall

The Following is a repost from todays Providence Journal. I thought that those of you heading to the Providence Place Mall might find this particular use of commercial and communal space interesting. He wanted a new sofa. She thought the apartment could use more color. When friends stayed over, they often wound up sleeping on the floor. Clearly, everyone agreed, it was time for a change. And so, just days before their secret hideaway was discovered and their exploits became the stuff of local legend, the artists who spent nearly four years homesteading inside Providence Place mall were about to do something that homeowners everywhere can relate to. They were about to redecorate. “We had it all planned,” says Michael Townsend, the lanky 37-year-old mastermind behind what some have called inspired performance art and others, including mall officials, have termed an illegal “violation” of private property. “We had a bunch of new furniture, including a new sofa, new chairs and a very nice
