Listen to Bill’s Art Talk on YouTube

89 is an informal “art salon” where Midway Studios residents get together to share their art.

Bill Frese creates sculptures, abstract geometric drawings & fantastical skateboards. He has lived & worked at Midway since its occupancy in May 2005. He also writes & performs original songs on the bass guitar. A graduate of The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, his work has been displayed in numerous interior & exterior locations in the greater Boston, Cambridge & Portland Maine.. 

"Art resonates the most when it initiates an unanticipated dialogue with the viewer." This interaction can be successfully achieved by placing art in an unexpected non/gallery/non-museum location. The ongoing Ideogram series, small colorful objects placed at eye level on existing exterior structures discretely identifying the space as unique in some way, is an example.

Bill also has over 12 years experience designing, prototyping, fabricating & maintaining exhibit interactives for local museums. "A good question is always better than a great answer".
