Latino communities on display at Fitchburg Art Museumnew
For many Latin American artists, their work is not necessarily an extension of Latin culture. Surprisingly it has more to do with their immediate surroundings and life experiences, which have the greatest influence on them. They are inspired by a myriad of ideas that transcend a vision as opposed to a particular culture. This fall, the Fitchburg Art Museum (FAM) will feature exhibits that focus on the works of Latino artists, recognizing their contributions to the arts.

A True Community Museumnew
Over the past six months, the Fitchburg Art Museum (FAM) has, under the behest of recently appointed director Nick Capasso, begun working toward completely introducing the Spanish language into the museum and its contents, with the intent to become New England’s first fully bilingual art museum. This Bilingual Museum Initiative includes the implementation of Spanish signage, exhibition information, and even the employment of a bilingual receptionist.

No More Funny Stuffnew
Jeffu is a big fan of multi-screen arrangements, the better to make his pieces interact with themselves. He has several series, including the comprehensive “Nine Gestures” and “1UP,” a massive 80-foot tall video installation at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, that utilize multiple video screens to create intersecting realities, the results of which can be thrilling, funny or, as the artist notes, whatever you take them to be.
