Call and Response: Inside Voices is the ninth iteration of the annual collaboration between ArtsWorcester and the Fitchburg Art Museum. The exhibition features 10 works from FAM’s permanent collection alongside 10 works from ArtsWorcester member artists, who have responded to the 10 FAM artworks and the chosen theme.
This year’s theme, Inside Voices, was inspired by the events of 2020 and the turn inward that they required. Interior spaces of all kinds became heightened reflective zones, and this exhibition explores the deeper meanings tied to these spaces. Domestic environments, psychological subjectivity, bodies, architecture, and sculptural containment are loaded with emotions, social commentary, fantasies, memories, and more. Inside Voices invites viewers to consider “interiors” in the broadest sense and to look anew at the spaces they inhabit.
Selected ArtsWorcester artists: Aaron Brodeur, Elizabeth Buck, Carrie Crane, Jason Fiering, Claire Lima, Rebecca McGee Tuck, Jane O’Hara, Kate Rasche, Ron Rosenstock, and Michelle Stevens.
