At Savage Wonderground, KaleidoSCAPE fills the underground vaults with unapologetic color, precise geometry, and unexpected movement. Beneath Beacon’s sidewalks, the former bank space becomes an immersive stage for seven artists—Caroline Blum, Shawn Dulaney, Robert Kelly, Michael Schropp, Vicki Sher, Gret Sterrett Smith, and Charles Spurrier—all veterans or immediate family members.
Each work, whether a painting, sculpture, or work on paper, carries the imprint of lives where discipline and chaos often occupy the same frame. Some are tight grids that threaten to dissolve into motion; others are suspended arcs that command the space without touching the floor. Together, they challenge the viewer to linger, recalibrate, and notice what’s shifting in their periphery.
Curated by Jeannie Freilich, KaleidoSCAPE is an exercise in controlled unpredictability. The selection highlights artists who are fearless in their exploration of intuition, personal consciousness, and the boundaries of lived experience.
Savage Wonderground’s mission is to present work by veterans, first responders, and their families—mentoring under-represented artists while offering audiences perspectives shaped by service. KaleidoSCAPE delivers on that mission with work that refuses to be background décor.
On view through November 23, open Wednesday through Sunday at Savage Wonderground, 141 Main St., Beacon. —savagewonder.org
