Please join me this weekend, October 19 and 20, for the second annual Two Coats of Paint Hudson Valley Gallery Crawl. It’s the perfect excuse to explore the Hudson Valley’s stunning landscape during peak fall foliage. I am co-hosting the event with Sharon Butler and Jonathan Stevenson from Two Coats of Paint.

The 27 galleries we’ve selected for the Crawl feature a mix of familiar names and emerging artists, established galleries and newer spaces. In addition, there are a number of opening receptions and artist talks happening throughout the weekend.

You are invited to attend the kick-off party on Friday, October 18 from 5-8 pm at Headstone Gallery in Kingston.

I hope to see you there!

It was wonderful to experience (waves) an immersive choral performance by @audrawolowiec presented by @strongroom.inc

The event took place on July 18 and 20 aboard the Estuary Steward, a boat crossing the Hudson River between Newburgh and Beacon.

An ensemble of five performers performed a score composed of words and sounds from several texts, including “The Waves” by Virginia Woolf, and “Discourse of Bodies in Water” by Galileo. Chosen words were cast in ice and released into the river, to further merge language with water. Everyone received a print at the end of the performance.

Bel Falleiros: Navel-Knot // Root-Rise @kinosaito in Verplanck, NY
Curated by Jess Wilcox and organized in partnership with River Valley Arts Collective. Through May 5, 2024.

The exhibition embraces the symbolic potential of the artist’s engagement with Earth-centered elements: fired terra cotta, plant and earth pigments, and sound that Falleiros incorporates into a series of works that celebrate the majesty and complexity of landforms and forests, and the continuity of water and life flowing through them. @bel.falleiros @jesskawilcox

On Wednesday I was in SoHo for a work meeting and

On Wednesday I was in SoHo for a work meeting and came across this pile of boxes, ephemera, furnishings, and other materials in the street. The stuff was from a storage space belonging to the important feminist artist Mary Beth Edelson who passed away a few years ago. It was very upsetting to see her things treated like this. Passersby grabbed books, posters, and even artwork. I got some books and posters and some cards from one of her artworks. A junk removal truck arrived and took it all away.
Read the Artnet News article by @anniesalright for more about the incident.

I studied Mary Beth Edelson in college. Her work is in the collection of MoMA and other major museums. How could this happen?
