Greenhouse Projects: Taking up space in the forgotten

Positive Street Art is proud to present Greenhouse Projects: Taking Up Space in the Forgotten, with works by Michelle Peterson, Laura Zorawovicz, Dei Xhrist and Yasamin Safarzadeh, working collectively to present to the public a body of work one year in the making.

The group of four with a myriad of participating artists use a variety of methods and materials to explore phenomenological relations to the natural world within their respective practices. The group met this past year at an abandoned greenhouse which is slowly being reclaimed by its surroundings, but still being revitalized by Manchester Grows. Each artist brought their diverse creative practices and discussed methodology, materials, and techniques, weaving relationships between each other and one another’s relic making.

Webs, wool, and wood – mostly collected from rural spaces, some from commercial salvage – have been claimed, reworked, sexualized. Old cameras, found film, torn fabric and real bodies in the cool New England autumn air. Explorations of form and texture; linear/organic, rough/smooth; juxtapositions that carry weight beyond their aesthetics. Greenhouse Projects invite the public to explore the depth of their own relations to materials, imagery and sound.

Join the artists on January 24, 2024 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.,  48 Bridge Street #3F, Nashua, for an immersive reception.  The schedule of events is as follows:

• Introduction to Positive Street Art Space and artists talk
