Li Sumpter, Boom4Real: Escape Artist Series, Jean Michel Basquiat, 2019, 44" x 61".

Although Burlington City Arts Center is closed due to COVID-19, they are currently offering a 360-degree tour of the building through Google Street View. Viewers can tap or click their way through the Burlington City Arts Center's three current exhibits, viewing the artwork in high definition. On the ground floor is Apocalypse Diet: What Will We Eat? This exhibit examines our relationship with food and food production in the context of climate change, utilizing art as a means of inspiring social change. The artwork in this exhibition has descriptions attached, marked by white and yellow circles that the viewer can tap, click, or mouse over to read. Brigitta Varadi: Exploring the Invisible can be found on the second floor, showcasing nearly 2,000 ceramic tiles and 19 felted-wool panels made by Varadi as an exploration of the daily rituals of life we tend to ignore. Down at the lower level of Burlington City Arts Center is Estefania Puerta: Sore Mouth Swore, in which Puerta uses her unconventional sculptures to suggest displacement, disembodiment and transformation. These three exhibits are too insightful and challenging to miss, and with Burlington City Arts Center's high-definition 360-degree tour, viewers don't have to.

Norman Rockwell, The Problem We All Live With, 1963.

Norman Rockwell Museum is offering three virtual exhibits with Google Arts & Culture themed around civil rights and presidential politics. The exhibits are constructed like presentations, with written information and video to supplement the photos and illustrations each exhibit is centered around. Norman Rockwell in the age of the Civil Rights Movement explores some of Norman Rockwell's famous illustrations in support of civil rights: The Problem We All Live With, Murder in Mississippi (Southern Justice) and New Kids in the Neighborhood (Negro in the Suburbs). The exhibit shows the progress sketches, reference photos and color studies of the well-known paintings, as well as some letters to the editor that the paintings inspired. Norman Rockwell: Presidential Elections Illustrated showcases Norman Rockwell's portraits of presidents and presidential candidates, including John F. Kennedy, Richard M. Nixon, Dwight D. Eisenhower and many others. Also shown are photographs of Rockwell and the presidents, and notes about his interactions with them. As Rockwell poignantly said, "I am no politician and certainly no statesman. But I have painted thousands of people and I should by now be a judge of what their faces say about what they are." Presidents, Politics, and the Pen: The Influential Art of Thomas Nast is a showcase of the election art of famous artist Thomas Nast, whose liberal, politically-charged and satirical cartoons often influenced the opinion of the American public, earning him the moniker of "The President Maker." The social issues brought up and explored in Norman Rockwell Museum's three exhibits are still very much a part of our modern society. Looking into the past can often provide clarity and perspective regarding the present, and Norman Rockwell Museum shows us how much has changed and how much has, for better or worse, stayed the same.

Roy DiTosti, Inside Bunker Door - AWR.

6 Bridges Gallery has its current exhibit, Obsolete Military Structures, available for view on its website as a list of the exhibit's photographs. Obsolete Military Structures is an ongoing series by accomplished photographer Roy DiTosti. Since 2002, DiTosti has been venturing through Massachusetts and Florida photographing old military facilities, bunkers and forts, some dating back to the 1800s or World War II. Some of these structures have been repurposed while others sit abandoned, growing moss and collecting dust. Yet the buildings offer an intriguing glimpse into the past where war was a tangible, ever-present struggle. Those who saw these structures in their heyday likely could not have conceived of a future where they were allowed to go empty and rust over. Now, however, the buildings stand as pieces of history and reminders of a fraught and bloody past. There are lessons to be found in each decaying structure, lessons that DiTosti's photography aims to uncover for the viewer to learn. There's even a level of familiarity in the old buildings when juxtaposed with today's quiet, empty streets in the face of a different sort of war, one against disease. Explore the exhibit for yourself at 6bridges.gallery/obsolete-military-structures.
