Since the ratification of the 19th Amendment in summer 1920, the women's movement has worked to gain access to centers of power, to secure political control of women's bodies, to be inclusive and ultimately, to be heard. This exhibition, curated by faculty from the Department of Art and Art History, highlights significant works of art by women from the museum's permanent collection. The Gregory Allicar Museum of Art invites visitors into an intersectional investigation of the creative ways that women have expressed their calls for awareness and demands for change.

RADIANT SPACE at VanDernoot Gallery, Lesley University, Cambridge MA
Sep 4 - Oct 7, 2018

"Radiant Space" highlights 10 works by nine artists who embrace perception, light, color, and materiality through stripped-down aesthetics. Utilizing Plexiglas, polyester resin, archival pigments and vacuum-formed plastic they produce 2D and 3D works that give nod to Minimalist sensibilities while honoring the Light & Space movement of the 1960s. Participating artist: Jerrold Ballaine, Anna Bogatin, Hans Breder, Gisela Colon, Fred Eversley, Leroy Lamis, Robert Bruce Stevenson, De Wain Valentine, Michael Steiner

Anna Bogatin: Like most artists I stay away from categorizations, or labeling that can be attached to my work. Although now, being included in a group exhibition with some of the pioneers of the Light and Space movement, it is easy to see many similarities between their work and mine. Not in a final formal expression, but in the initial intent and inspiring ideas.
De Wain Valentine said: "What I'd really like to do is take large sections of the sky and the sea and say here it is" (1975/76).
Here it is! I literally take a slice (a row of pixels) in a photograph of a seascape or a sky and make an abstract image by stretching it across the picture plane. All information: colors and spatial distribution of lines remain unchanged, truthful to reality at the moment the photo was taken.
Fred Eversley, on the other hand, emphasizes his interest in energy in both a physical and metaphysical sense by quoting William Blake: "Energy is the only life.. Energy is Eternal Delight."
I always maintained that art for me is a spiritual activity. What is, if not the energy that is being communicated between the viewer and a work of art? Throughout the years I have revised my artists statement many times, but in essence my art is about the same.. I quote myself from 2002:
"..It's about Inexhaustible Light."
I am honored to be exhibited in such wonderful company, and grateful for the chance to see my work through the new lens.

The University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign has purchased three works by Anna Bogatin - "Relic", "Sunset Sea", and "Orchid" for their newly renovated Noyes Laboratory.

Five large works by Anna Bogatin - "Cape May", "Carmel", "Hamptons", "Los Angeles", and "San Francisco" have been acquired by the Temple University for their Student Center Permanent Collection.

Philadelphia City Hall_afternoon, Independence Hall_night, Independence Hall_day, 2015 are now in permanent collection of The PENNSYLVANIA CONVENTION CENTER AUTHORITY, Philadelphia, PA
These digital works are based on Anna Bogain's photographs of two major historical landmarks in Philadelphia - Independence Hall and City Hall.
The colors and widths of the lines are authentic, unaltered, and correspond directly to the details in the photo of each particular building. Both of these buildings are rich with architectural details which when abstracted resonate in an exuberant symphony of lines, yet the structure retains its original elegance.
This work celebrates the order found in nature and the beauty found in chance. It also offers a fresh look on a familiar reality.
