We all feel the pressure of our daily lives (I’m feeling it right now with my looming deadline). So it makes perfect sense artists feel it, too, with the advantage of creating visual expressions. “PRESSURE” is an exhibition curated by The Ground Floor Gallery. “(The artist) JMS’ large-scale (pieces) surround viewers with sumptuous woods and highly polished surfaces that make you want to engage with them tactilely,” says Ground Floor’s Jesse Levesque. “The text on the gallery walls … by AJB reflects parts of the visual show in words. And Alex Ferguson-Bell’s soundtracks … help you to literally feel the show through pulsing beats …” The closing reception will be held during the Aug. 3 First Friday Trolley Hop from 6-9 p.m. Cocktails and bar snacks will be served, compliments of MEAT. —Jo Anne Triplett
