peytonkay: sayyoudo:   Show!  Thursday, February 2, 2012 6:30pm until 9:00pm Student Life Gallery, 2nd Floor Kennedy @ MassArt, 621 Huntington  Avenue , Boston, MA  Lauren Hayes and Paul DeRuvo are driven to explore the vulnerability inherent in exposing the personal relationships through which we define ourselves. This work addresses the difficulty of inhabiting a body, its comforts and discomforts, challenges and limitations. It reflects on the specificity of having a singular vehicle through which one is able to experience the world. The viewer is given an intimate perspective of the artists’ lives as a physical and empathetic observer. Recognition and familiarity are closely tied to this experience of empathy. Once evoked, the established connection must be contended with. Having the potential to be both awkward and revealing, the tenderness of the work becomes a necessary reprieve from the social expectations of modesty and composure. The vulnerability of InComfort seeks expression beyond the artists’ lives to become a shared moment of compassion.  Attention Bostonians! Come to this show!!!
