Clark Russell’s Unclassified Art: April 3rd – 25th 2026

Posted on March 16, 2026 by spacegalleryvt

The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery is excited to announce our next exhibition!

Clark Russell’s Unclassified Art:
A collection of never before seen mixed media works – abstract wall sculptures, metal-collages, painting-collages and more. See content transformed, maps redrawn, and late developments in Riddleville’s small world.

Opening reception: Friday April 3rd, 5-9pm
Please join us for an evening of creative connection. Free beverages and snacks provided.

Show Duration: April 3rd – April 25th 2026
*Meet the artist each Saturday of the exhibition from 2-3pm

Burlington abstractivist Clark Russell has been creating art since graduating UVM in 1983. Solo exhibitions of Russell’s work have taken place in his hometown St. Louis, New York City; Vermont’s Fleming Museum, Flynn Center for the Arts, and Firehouse Gallery. While Riddleville’s literally figurative subjected objects may raise questions, Russell’s abstract constructs ask to be sensed rather than solved. Looking to overcome their own materiality and be free of associations, these artworks are not about something else but are actual themselves.

The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery
288 Pine St. Burlington VT
(south side of Soda Plant, free parking) 
Gallery open every Thu-Fri-Sat 12-5pm
or by appointment: spacegalleryvt@gmail.com

To learn more about Clark and his work, we invite you to explore the links below:

Held Together: An Group Exhibition of Analog Collage Opening Reception this Friday Feb 6th 5-9pm

Posted on February 3, 2026 by spacegalleryvt

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Held Together: An Group Exhibition of Analog Collage

Held Together invites viewers to look closely at imagery that may initially not seem to belong… until it does. These hand-made collages by 80 artists exist in fragments: small acts of care and patience, composed of pieces cut, arranged, and held in place.

For some artists, collage functions as a calming, grounding practice. Slow, repetitive, and attentive. For others, it operates as a disruptive gesture, interrupting dominant narratives and exposing seams rather than concealing them. The works in this exhibition move between these impulses.

Some soothe, others challenge; all ask us to pause and attend to acts of care. In a time that often demands speed and certainty, Held Together honors collage as a practice of presence and quiet labor. The exhibition reflects a shared human impulse to gather what remains and to consider how we hold ourselves, one another, and the world together, if only for a moment.

Opening Reception: First Friday Feb 6th 5-9pm or by appointment.
Additional First Friday Collage Gathering March 6th 4-8pm (large collage table and materials provided)

Show Duration
Feb 6th – March 20th 2026

The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery
266 Pine St. Suite 105 (in the Soda Plant)

Some soothe, others challenge; all ask us to pause and attend to acts of care. In a time that often demands speed and certainty, ‘Held Together’ honors collage as a practice of presence and quiet labor. The exhibition reflects a shared human impulse to gather what remains and to consider how we hold ourselves, one another, and the world together, if only for a moment.

  • Collage as Disruption:
     Fragmentation, rupture, political critique, visual noise, and interruption. Collage as refusal or resistance.
  • Reassembly & Repair:
     Piecing together fractured images, histories, or identities to imagine new structures or futures.
  • Historical Echoes:
    Referencing or reinterpreting collage traditions born from periods of unrest/war, censorship, economic instability, cultural shifts.

Seven Year Itch: Matthew Thorsen Basement Treasures at The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery OPENING THIS FRIDAY Jan. 2nd

Posted on December 28, 2025 by spacegalleryvt

Seven years after his passing, The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery is deeply honored to present an exhibition of work by Vermont Photographer Matthew Thorsen.

Drawn from his personal archive and stored for years in his basement, these photographs are guided by Thorsen’s eccentric eye. An instinct for wild juxtapositions and for whatever spoke to him in a given moment. His images move freely between the unexpected and the intimate, finding meaning not through explanation, but through attention.

Matthew Thorsen photographed with curiosity and impulse, trusting the moment as it unfolded. These works, unseen for years, now reemerge as a living record of his way of seeing—playful, observant, and deeply human. Through his travels around the world, and local captures, this exhibition features an array of subject matter displayed in repurposed and home made frames. Matt poured creativity into everything he touched. 

This exhibition is both a remembrance and a reintroduction, inviting viewers to encounter the photographs as Matthew did: openly, intuitively, and without pretense.

The Gallery, along with Matt’s wife Diane Sullivan, invite you to join us in celebrating the enduring vision and legacy of Matthew Grant Thorsen, and in welcoming these images back into the light.

Opening Reception: January 2nd 2026 5-10pm (First Friday Art Walk) Free drinks, snacks, merriment with old/new friends and a chance to purchase original work from the artist’s personal collection. 

Exhibition Duration: January 2nd, 2026 – January 24th 2026
Location: The S.P.A.C.E. Gallery (in the Soda Plant)
266 Pine St. Suite 105 Burlington, VT 05401
Public Hours: Thu-Fri-Sat 12-5pm (private viewings available on request)
Contact: spacegalleryvt@gmail.com

We encourage you to explore the links below to learn more about his journey, his creations, and how magically he touched everyone he encountered.
