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 subtle seasonal shifts begin to whisper at the edges of our summer days, we’re turning to Matilde Alessandra’s “Untitled #44 to remind us of the beauty of the elemental rhythms of light and darkness. Known for her minimalist light sculptures, Alessandra masterfully explores the possibilities of light as both a subject and a medium in two dimensions, using only pen and ink and leveraging negative space as a source of radiance. Wander through more of Alessandra’s mesmerizing work on our website and let her ensnare your attention in her elegant webs of luminous flow.

Take a break from doing and drift for a while with a little help from Berta Burr’s “9/13.” With masterful brushwork, Burr conjures the weightlessness ephemerality of clouds, building a contradictory sense of substance and motion as she gently fixes the fleeting and ever-changing on her canvas. Float on over to our website and treat yourself to a contemplative moment with Burr’s quietly powerful work.

Saddle up, because Jimmie James’ “pony, hyena and something else (Berlin)” is here to take us on a ride to reverie! Playing in the space between figuration and abstraction, James’ spare and eloquently tender line gives even surreal, dreamlike elements a deep sense of emotional integrity. Wander through more of James’ poignant work on our website and let each poetic detail lead you to the wild, generous heart of his artistic practice.

Vibrant visual harmonies that are every bit as catchy as a musical melody abound in Brian Fekete’s “Memphis Mellotron.” Fekete grounds his work in our sense of understanding through an evocative title, while his redolent abstract forms cleverly peel back the layers to reveal fresh perspectives and meaning. Dive into more of Fekete’s perception-bending work on our website, but be prepared to emerge with a new way of looking at the world around you.
