what i do

beth kantrowitz

INDEPENDENT curator

I am an independent curator representing  emerging and mid-career, contemporary artists primarily from the Northeast.

INDEPENDENT CURATOR
Most people know me as the Co-Director of Drive-by Projects in Watertown, MA and previously the acclaimed Allston Skirt Gallery in Boston.  I have 20+ years of experience with artists working in all media in Boston and beyond. This gives me a unique perspective on the arts community - inspiring me to curate thought-provoking exhibitions at galleries and unusual venues.

Let's work together to find the perfect work of art for your home or office. I will put all of my resources together to define, search out and capture your 'art crushes'. Drawing on my relationships with artists, other curators and dealers, I can handle all aspects of the transaction - identify under-valued artists and emerging talent, sending images or arranging studio visits, negotiating terms and discounts – all the way to framing and professional installation. 
what's your latest art crush?

About Kelli’s work:
Working in the language of abstraction, minimalism, and architectural geometry, my work communicates a meaning that is sensed before it is articulated, allowing the viewer to bring their own associations and curiosity. This interaction creates a bridge for new conversations and unexpected connections that then become a part of the work itself.

Layering folded forms over solid, painted fields of color, I play with the tensions between positive and negative, nearness and distance, and light and shadow. With each of these tension points relying on the other to exist, these interactions become visual metaphors for the deep personal relationships we have with each other, our surroundings, and within ourselves.

Informed by my experience in craft, music, design, and fashion, I use a combination of repetitive pleating, gestural cutting, and hand-shaping to transform paper into structured, yet delicate forms with rhythmic movement and weightless volume. The high degree of focus and care required to evoke effortlessness in these structural paintings mirrors that of human relationships – the more intention you put into them, the more effortless they feel.
