SUMMARY:Shifting Shorelines: Art\, Industry and Ecology along the Hudson River Gallery Talk
DESCRIPTION:“Shifting Shorelines: Art\, Industry\, and Ecology” reveals how human and industrial intrusion has changed the ecology of the Hudson and its surroundings\, and examines how contemporary artists are bringing new environmental perspectives and responses to the deterioration and reclamation of the shoreline. The exhibition challenges the “scenic Hudson” mythologies promoted in the 19th century\, and considers contrasting views of how the Hudson River has been portrayed by a broad range of creators over the centuries.Gallery Talk\, January 11\, 1pm:  Jean-Marc Superville Sovak is a multidisciplinary artist and teaching professional whose work is deeply rooted in the community around him. His public works include organizing and officiating a “Burial for White Supremacy” (Unison Arts Center\, New Paltz\, NY)\, retracing speculative steps on the Underground Railroad across historic sites in the Hudson Valley (Wilderstein Historic Site\, Rhinebeck\, NY)\, designing memorials to Afro-Dutch pioneers in colonial New Netherlands (Rockland County Art in Public Places)\, and “I Draw & You Talk”\, a storefront portrait-drawing studio doubling as an oral history project (Matteawan Gallery\, Beacon\, NY.) His current practice\, “a-Historical Landscapes\,” involves altering 19th-century landscape engravings to include images borrowed from contemporaneous Anti-Slavery publications. A selection of works from this series is included in the Shifting Shorelines exhibition. \n\n\n\nWallach Art GalleryLenfest Center for the Arts615 West 129th Street | 6th FloorNew York\, NY 10027 \n\n\n\nFor more info: wallach.columbia.edu \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Smelly Aesthetics: Inhabiting Landscape Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:All around us\, the beauty of the natural landscape is shaped and reshaped by the living creatures\, natural and unnatural forces who call this place home. In Smelly Aesthetics\, we will explore the odorous dimensions of plants\, the way they harness scent to communicate amongst themselves\, and influence the world of creatures around them. \n\n\n\nA walking tour of Mawignack Preserve will mix storytelling and sensory exercises to attune our awareness to different plant communities within the landscape. We’ll consider scent from the perspective of humans\, plants\, and insects. \n\n\n\nThe tour will be followed by a hands-on workshop\, where we will responsibly harvest Mugwort onsite\, to weave into aromatic smudges\, wall hangings\, or crowns. Participants will be able to take home their creations. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is geared towards an adult audience. It is part of a larger body of research and creative inquiry conducted by the artist. Participants will be asked to offer feedback and reflections about their experience to inform future workshops. Photos from the event may be used in publications and presentations of the artist’s work. \n\n\n\nAdvanced registration is required. \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Inhabiting Landscape Workshop SeriesInhabiting Landscape is a series of workshops and walking tours created by Leslie Ruckman in partnership with the Thomas Cole National Historic Site\, the Greene Land Trust\, and Scenic Hudson. Located at the Mawignack Preserve in the town of Catskill\, NY\, the series explores the many ways in which landscapes are dynamic reflections of their inhabitants. Landscapes are made and remade by relationships between living creatures\, natural\, and unnatural forces. \n\n\n\nWhile we most often appreciate landscapes for their visual beauty on the whole\, there are a host of other dimensions we might consider. To inhabit a landscape is to be amongst it\, experiencing with your full being. Each workshop will focus on an often overlooked dimension of landscape – soggy\, smelly\, or airborne. The goal is to provide participants with tools to attune to their surroundings and deepen their relation to place. \n\n\n\nThe Inhabiting Landscape Workshop Series is supported by David Bury and The Bay and Paul Foundations. \n\n\n\nAbout Leslie RuckmanLeslie Ruckman (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary designer and researcher. Her work merges art and science to foster unexpected connections with the natural world. Living in New York’s Hudson Valley\, she nurtures birds\, bees\, and pollinator habitats\, integrating these experiences into her artistic projects. Leslie is pursuing a doctorate at RMIT and teaches at NYU’s Tisch School. Her work has been featured at Pioneer Works\, Governor’s Island\, Science Gallery Detroit\, and NYCxDesign Festival among others. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Putnam History Museum Exhibition Opening: Healing Hudson by Selva Ozelli
DESCRIPTION:Gather at the Putnam History Museum to have the first look at the new exhibition\, “Healing Hudson\,” by Selva Ozelli. This art exhibition\, presented in the PHM’s public community room\, explores the Hudson Valley’s importance in sparking the environmental movement in the U.S.\, which took off worldwide. The art on display features Darter Fish\, which live in highly oxygenated fresh waters and received their name for their tendency to move in short bursts of motion. They are highlighted as an endangered species that once darted around the Hudson watershed\, that the artist imagines may one day return to their home. \n\n\n\nRegister Here
