<h2><strong>About the Event</strong></h2><p>&quot;An Object&#x27;s Promise&quot; and FPAC invite you to a private screening of &quot;OBJECTS,&quot; an endearing, entertaining, and existential film
 about the secret lives of the special objects that preserve memories, conjure experiences,
and create meaning in our lives. Followed by a discussion with director, Vincent Liota.</p><h2><strong>About the Show</strong></h2><p>The show, &quot;An Object’s Promise&quot;, is a playful and poignant maximalist intervention that raises consciousness about our possessions and intentions. On view from May 12 through June 14, the exhibition includes works ranging from screen prints crafted from cherished artifacts to totems of amassed impulse buys. Through these process-driven artworks, artists Adrienne Shishko and Suzanne Moseley unveil how we use objects to express our identity, connect to the past, and imagine our future – to both beautiful and detrimental effect.</p><h2><strong>About The Collaboration</strong></h2><p>Long time friends, Shishko and Moseley met periodically before the pandemic to create art together as a way of looking at their individual practices through a different lens. Both shared a process-driven approach and an orientation towards vibrant, energetic work, so mingling their approaches was exciting. During these art “play dates,” they each initiated work from shared materials, then switched midway through to continue working into the other’s piece. Shishko’s masses of discarded clothing, acquired from acquaintances, soon became a counterpoint to stacks of unresolved screenprints and cyanotypes contributed from Moseley’s studio. Cutting both bodies of material into strips and weaving through and around other found objects, the two found an interesting tension between Shishko’s focus on our hollow throw-away culture with Moseley’s attention to the hallowed nature of treasured objects. A new collaboration was born.</p><h2><strong>About the Fort Point Arts Community</strong></h2><p>The Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC) builds cultural vibrancy in Boston by cultivating an empowered community of artists, organizations, and supporters.
