Gallery 1832

A rainbow of LabCentral's representative colors, showcasing the vibrant vibe of this non-profit lab space provider in Kendall Square, Cambridge.

Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to all the generations of the world. - Leonardo da Vinci

At its core art has served as a vessel for documenting and igniting conversations, empowering communities. 

At Gallery 1832 we believe in the combined power of the arts and sciences. Our gallery celebrates the history of innovation in our space, challenges stereotype and invites conversation. It provides a platform for local artists and underrepresented communities to share their work, their voices, perspectives and raise awareness, through storytelling, and the sharing of lived experiences.

The public nature of the gallery also creates a link between the surrounding community and the internal, bringing light and visibility to the scientific world which maintains the perception of being shrouded in mystery, secrecy, and not for external view.

By showing science as accessible and inclusive to all regardless of lived experience, by sparking interest, expanding the community network, and shaking the status quo our hope is that it creates opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to minorities or the under privileged.

Layers of Expression

Opening Date: September 17, 2025

Layers of Expression: Paintings & Prints unites the work of Mia Brownell, Martin Kruck, and Ryan McGrory in a dynamic exploration of perception, emotion, and reality.

In Skeptical Realism, Brownell’s intricate still life paintings and Kruck’s surreal landscapes question the line between the artificial and the real, reflecting today’s cultural and political uncertainties. Brownell examines the entanglement of consumerism and biology, while Kruck reimagines landscapes as altered, ambiguous spaces.

Ryan McGrory’s Abstract Romanticism captures the emotional turbulence of human experience through dramatic, gestural paintings. Drawing from Romanticism, Abstract Expressionism, and Baroque techniques, McGrory’s work invites viewers to confront the beauty and tension of opposing emotions.

Together, these artists offer a multilayered exploration of how we perceive and process the worlds within and around us blurring the lines between the rational and the fantastical, the seen and the felt.
