Installation day for “REMIX” was like a family reunion for the artists of Fountain Street Gallery.
“When we dropped off the work for the show, a couple of the artists [brought] a picnic lunch and [ate] outside to see each other for the first time in a long time,” said Fountain Street Gallery owner and director Rebecca Skinner.
“REMIX” marks the return of Fountain Street Gallery to a physical space 17 months after the April 2024 closure of its Thayer Street/Harrison Ave. location in Boston’s SoWa District. With a renewed focus on “dynamic pop-up exhibitions,” this show, held at Mass Arts Center’s Morini Gallery though November 23, is the first of many to come.
For Skinner, who also curated “REMIX,” Morini Gallery was a clear choice for Fountain Street’s return. “I’m very close with all the folks at the Mass Arts Center so I felt very at home and comfortable there,” she said. “And many of the Fountain Street Artists have shown there.”
Morini Gallery curator Heidi Cerullo echoed that sentiment.
