Opening as part of the South End Art Hop, Borough Gallery & Studio presents their most recent exhibition, Riddles & Lies: charged by desire, created around 4 artists whose focus is reinterpreting the psychology and emotional logic of their surroundings and circumstances while also drawing heavily from the imagination and art of manipulation. Featuring book art, paintings, mixed media and drawings by Haley Bishop, Ian Burcroff, Shawna Cross and Philip Hardy; the exhibit is based on improvisation, deconstructing established notions, filling the voids of reality and layering, stacking, removing and recreating the truth until only the expressiveness of riddles is left behind.

An opening reception for Riddles & Lies: charged by desire will be held during the South End Art Hop on Friday, September 10th from 5 to 9pm and Saturday, September 11th from 10am to 5pm. Simultaneous events abound in our 180 Flynn building.

Riddles & Lies: charged by desire opens on September 10th and will be on display by appointment until October 1st. For more information or to schedule a tour please contact Borough Gallery at boroughgallery@gmail.com, 802-393-1890 or visit our website at http://www.boroughgallery.wordpress.com
