Organized by Brittni Ann Harvey and Harry Gould Harvey IV

Bureau presents SURVEY, an exhibition organized with the Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art in Massachusetts.

Situated on the ground floor of an active textile mill and housed in one of Fall River’s many historic manufacturing buildings, FR MoCA is a sprawling exhibition space founded by artists Brittni Ann Harvey and Harry Gould Harvey IV. Drawing on their upbringing in and around Fall River, the two stage exhibitions and events focused on experimentation and inclusivity. The museum brings together local and international artists to create critical and culturally relevant programming. In allocating opportunities and resources to a city overshadowed by its metropolitan neighbors, FR MoCA seeks to uncover how art institutions can best serve their local communities.

In an attempt to exist in a perpetual state of experimentation, the institution must continually build and dismantle itself. The works on view at Bureau share an ethos with the museum, their formal qualities alluding to FR MoCA’s scrappy operation. In the gallery, a collage of personal histories intertwine: layered, stitched, patched, transplanted and cross-pollinated. SURVEY manifests as a hybrid of past and future FR MoCA exhibitions, employing various modes of display to challenge museological traditions. The exhibition embraces the irreverence and loving chaos that informs FR MoCA’s spirit, which seeks to illuminate the shadows of the museum’s home.
