The War Dept. Comes to Beverly
New Exhibit at Montserrat College of Art's Frame 301 Gallery
A stroll down Cabot Street in Beverly was made even more interesting this week by the opening of The War Dept., a new exhibit at Montserrat College of Art’s Frame 301 Gallery at 301 Cabot Street. Accessible to everyone every hour of every day, the installation is a collaboration by Ruth Bauer and Blyth Hazen.
The War Dept. was adapted from a music theater piece by Jim Bauer and Ruth Bauer that was commissioned by the American Repertory Theater as part of a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of American Civil War. The War Dept. had a workshop performance at the Eugene O’Neill Theater Center in 2014. In this adaptation, Hazen and Bauer have transformed elements of The War Dept. into a stop action video using puppets and a miniature set. For more information on the exhibit and the artists, visit www.montserrat.edu/portfolio-item/wardept/ or better yet, visit The War Dept. in person.
Frame 301 is a storefront window that has been converted into an alternative exhibit space by Montserrat College of Art at 301 Cabot Street in Beverly, MA. Artists are selected to install their work in the space on a monthly basis. Frame 301 represents an integration of the created cultures of Montserrat College of Art and surrounding communities.
