Praise for Art Gallery’s ‘A Gateless Garden’ featured in ‘Maine Sunday Telegram’

A laudatory review of the 91ֱƵArt Gallery’s current exhibition, “A Gateless Garden: Quotes by Maine Women Writers,” appeared in the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram on March 22, 2015.

Reviewer Dan Kany wrote: "UNE’s Art Gallery is an excellent venue, but I have never seen it look so good. From the first glance into the space to the closest examination of the framed works, ‘Gateless Garden’ holds up to the closest scrutiny."

According to Kany, the exhibition, which pairs quotes from Maine women writers with black and white photographs by Kerry Michaels, "combines a here-and-now picture presence with a pulsing rhythmic sense of time provided by the literary quotes."

"Together," wrote Kany, "these create an almost musically eloquent dialogue between presence and thing—a sort of poetry of place."
