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.

About Julia’s paintings:
Juli Raja’s 16-year career as a textile & collections designer for the label, Juli Raja hand built. Elaborate & intricate processes play the pivotal role in the making of her textiles. The woven fabric is created on a grid, as are her paintings. The woodblocks used in her print designs are hand carved from her original drawings by highly skilled Artisans in two Indian cities-Kolkata & Jaipur. The method by which these 6 inch square woodblocks are dipped into assigned dyes, pressed onto the fabric and repeated is a precise mathematical system, resulting in a one-of-a-kind fluid print. Accuracy, placement and proportion are essential to allow your eyes to move effortlessly across the surface. Juli’s appreciation for the balance between ingenuity and tradition in her work is an expression of her love and hopes for the interconnected human-animal worlds of togetherness. The characters and locations she creates in both her paintings and woodblock printed textiles are derived from her own life experiences. For every wildlife reserve or historically significant architectural city she has explored, there is a memory she taps into to curate many of the visual components that are the building blocks of her myth-poetic, story base paintings. As with visual influences, the auditory rhythm of music is also present. Within this exhibition of paintings & textile collections, Juli invites you to associate a particular musical artist or a song with the work.

Art Crush: Juli Raja❤️ I continue to feel the love Art Crush: Juli Raja❤️
I continue to feel the love from Juli Raja’s pop-up exhibition at 1 mile Gallery in June. 
Juli’s’ exhibition, Whirling Devilish: chapter one draws its tle from musician Mike Ladd and encapsulates Raja’s lifelong drive to
make intricate, centrifugal patern-based work. The presentaon brings together recent painngs and limited-
edion texles that fuse influences from Persian miniatures, Indian court painng, Islamic le design, William
Morris and Gustav Klimt with a contemporary, playful sensibility. Raja’s pracce emphasizes layered, grid-based
composion, repeve mofs, and a precise hand-prinng method that produces richly detailed surfaces meant to
be read both as ornament and narrave.
