The work will be interspersed with objects from the museum's collection and has a 70 page illustrated catalog. Writing in the Boston Globe vritic Mark Feeny wrote: "In 1991, Ranalli encountered a whale stranding at Wellfleet. What he saw inspired him to start making these prints. They show the black outlines of whales, in effect, stranded on the page. The images are austerely beautiful, but also surpassingly sad."
There is a beautiful illustrated catalog available from the museum, or I can send you a PDF of it.
Boston University created a lecture series to celebrate my founding of the Graduate program in Arts Administration. I am very pleased to have delivered the first of those lectures.

Cate McQuade's picks for the weekend.
DANIEL RANALLI: LIGHTLINES Ranalli has been exploring the potential for abstraction with photograms for nearly 50 years. Each is a darkroom experiment, made without a camera. Ranalli places an object on photosensitive paper and uses a handheld light to expose it — literally drawing with light. He achieves a silken, voluptuous tonality, creating crests and shadows, shimmers and soot. Through May 7. LaMontagne Gallery, 460 Harrison Ave. 617-487-3512, www.lamontagnegallery.com
