571 Projects

571 Projects Art gallery, Independent curator and art consultancy We are open by appointment only. Contact us at 802.881.0418 or [email protected] to enquire.

571 Projects supports the work of dynamic emerging and mid-career artists by bringing conceptually strong, well-crafted work to the notice of an engaged art going and collecting public, via independent curatorial practice. We are dedicated to the careful curation of a thoughtful selection of artists, and to nurturing curiosity and contemplation in our collectors and art enthusiasts. In addition, w

e welcome and encourage the public to engage with art and exhibitions at our micro gallery, located at 56 Park Street, Stowe, Vermont. Founded by Sophie Bréchu-West, an alumna of Christie’s Education with a Master’s in Contemporary Art and Connoisseurship, 571 Projects opened its doors as a boutique gallery in New York City's Chelsea in October 2009, housed in an old warehouse affectionately called Cold Castle. When the building was slated for demolition in 2012, the program became nomadic. Settled in Stowe, Vermont since 2015, 571 Projects continues to build a community through special projects. A deep, lifelong love of art and a desire to promote the work of significant, and at times overlooked, emerging artists drives her curatorial and consulting practice.

As the summer solstice approaches, what better time to turn to Matilde Alessandra’s “Untitled #31,” and her fascinating exploration of light as both a medium and a subject. Reducing her palette to just black pen on white paper, Alessandra creates elegant illusions of energy, space, and light, using only the simplest element of drawing – a line. As the days stretch longer, align yourself with the elemental energy and wander through more of Alessandra’s illuminating work on our website.

While it may be tempting to bask in the golden glow of “Misty River,” Dorothy Simpson Krause keeps us on alert with an uneasy truth buried beneath the brilliance. Krause’s use of mixed media pigment transfer on aluminum creates a ground with mesmerizing luminosity and, in its subtle irregularities, a felt sense of the precarious ephemerality that underlies the beauty of the natural world under threat of climate change. Wander through more of Krause’s powerful work on our website and prepare for a truly illuminating journey.

Swirl your way into this Saturday afternoon on the sinuous curves of Brian Fekete’s “1783.” With an evocative yet intriguingly oblique title, Fekete anchors us in a kind of physical reality and uses expressive abstract forms, alive with lush gestures, to reveal fresh layers of truth and meaning. Wander through more of Fekete’s mesmerizing work on our website and don’t be surprised if you find yourself someplace deeply familiar, yet entirely new.

Discover the poignant truths that live close to the flame, in the warm glow of Jimmie James’ “you move me.” With an eloquently spare line, James imbues his figures with an emotional intensity, playing in the liminal space between abstraction and figuration.

Treat yourself to a double scoop of joy that won’t melt in the sunshine and spend some time with Dusty Boynton’s “World Peace & Ice Cream.” Animated by authenticity and spirit, Boynton’s delightfully eccentric cast of characters is caught in an evocative tableau, where these fantastical figures embody deeply human feelings. Go back for seconds on our website, where you can revisit “Boundless: Dusty Boynton,” our 2021 collaboration with the Bennington Museum, and let Boynton’s motley crew be the cherry on top of your holiday weekend!
