Artists in the Parks Gallery Adds Original Art to
Historic Bear Mountain Inn

Please Join the Palisades Interstate Park Commission and Guest Services

Artists Reception

Friday, February 24th, 2012
6 p.m. ‐8:30 p.m.

The long awaited reopening of the historic Bear Mountain Inn guest rooms on February 18th will be enhanced by the new Artists in the Parks Gallery, a collaboration between Guest Services, which manages the Inn complex and the Artists in the Parks, a program of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. AiP is a group of dedicated and talented artists working in a variety of mediums, all sharing an inspiration and love for the outdoors. The group creates their individual pieces within the 20 parks and eight historic sites managed by the Commission.

AiP is thrilled to have a home gallery where they can exhibit and sell their paintings, photographs and woodwork. The public is welcome to join many of the artists at an opening reception on Feb 24th from 6:00 p.m. until 8:30pm. A cash bar will be available.

Inspired by the beauty of the Palisades parks, local artists in partnership with the Palisades Interstate Park Commission created Artists in the Parks in September 2008. The group has shown and held “plein air” paint‐outs at various locations in Rockland and Orange counties. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of their artwork, donated to the Palisades Parks Conservancy, has resulted in thousands of dollars offered by dozens of artists.

“The opening of a gallery at the Bear Mountain Inn is like a welcoming home to the group. It’s a dream come true,” says Lita Thorne, founder and president of AiP. “In four years we’ve painted, photographed, and sculpted in rain, snow, scorching heat, and bitter cold, and had the time of our lives. Being able to display and sell our work offers important exposure to our artists, will drive traffic to our AiP website, and helps to sustain their passion. We could not be more pleased,” Thorne added.

Situated at the base of Bear Mountain and overlooking the shores of Hessian Lake, the historic Bear Mountain Inn is an early example of a monumental rustic park lodge of a type that became common in state and national parks. It was designed in 1915 by the New York City firm of Tooker & Marsh, in a style influenced by the Adirondack Great Camps. Palisades’s park employees crafted the stone and timber structure using materials found within the surrounding park. Its proximity to city and suburban dwellers has, in its 100 years, given millions of people a chance to experience the rustic tradition close to home. The Inn, listed on the National and New York State Register of Historic Places recently underwent extensive renovations to return its original rustic splendor.

“From the outset it was our desire to furnish the renovated Inn with original artwork inspired by the magnificent Hudson Valley. This is easier said than done,” commented Michael Morris, Managing Director of the Bear Mountain Inn. “Our partnership with Artists in the Parks is important. It not only gives us a dedicated group of talented artists to draw from, but it also exposes their work to a large audience who appreciate – and will hopefully purchase ‐ original art."

Susan E. Smith, Director of Cultural Resources and Development for the Palisades Interstate Park Commission adds “I am thrilled that Michael Morris of Guest Services has provided space for one of the original design tenets of the Bear Mountain Inn rehabilitation ‐ a gallery for our local artists, a place where the public can enjoy and purchase the work that has been inspired from the scenery and natural materials found nearby. Through their vision, our visitors can see the beauty that has been preserved for generations to come. And now they can bring a little bit of it home with them.”

Combined with many rustic style furniture pieces created in the 1920s and 1930s, the Inn once again has the feel and look of a park lodge. In its early years, the Bear Mountain Inn displayed artwork and crafts from local artisans. AiP is delighted to have a part awakening this tradition as the Inn’s second century begins.

The work is curated by AiP members’ collective efforts and will change on a rotating basis. “The first year is going to be very special one for us,” says AiP Chairman of Exhibits and Events Bruce Thorne, “and you’ll not want to miss a single exhibit, each one promising to be more exciting than the last!”

Nights Of 9/11 Opening Reception Saturday September 10th 2011 Beacon NY

OPENING RECEPTION AND DISCUSSION SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 10th 5pm-9pm     It’s easy to look back on things sitting in a chair years later. But at the moment when something happens, how do you react? How do you really perceive it? Everything that’s happened in the last ten years gets convoluted with what happened in the beginning, gets torn and twisted. Now, I remember it emotionally. In my dreams it’s a cloud, not a hard thing; it’s a smell, a being, another person, a relationship. I took pictures because I didn’t want to forget; things fade, objects take the place of emotions, and because you live through so many moments, things become all mixed up. That’s the way we live, but photography gives you the ability to freeze something in time. The photographs bring me back. They’re my notebook; my best notebook. That’s why I take pictures. I take pictures because sometimes my brain is dead and I need to remember where I placed my foot. And, to recapitulate that place; that smell…   '

Aquamarine

New Works by Carla Goldberg

 

When I was a little kid I thought water came magically from the kitchen sink and collected in swimming pools. I was endlessly fascinated by the cool aqua colors and weird patterns of light dancing on the surface and just below, bouncing off the bottom of the pool walls. I've always been drawn to bodies of water and shimmering, moving light. Well that was the essence of water for me growing up in the deserts of Palm Springs, California. I had no idea I would end up living near the Hudson River. The only thing I knew about the Hudson was vague recollections of learning about it in  the context of American History. I remember the day I first saw the Hudson and was thunderstruck by how beautiful it was and realized I wanted to live by this real body of water. I found myself obsessed.

Aquamarine is a new mixed media series of paint, ink and resin on plexiglass that plays with the idea of light and shadow, frozen water and thawing, raining and dripping and hinting of summer's cool aqua ease. These are real and imagined, desert pool infused and Hudson iced.  They are a play of water surface, of deep shadow, of light dancing, of memories of reflection and time spent happily spacing out over water.

 

Aquamarine will debut in a Solo Exhibition at Bau Gallery, Beacon, NY on

Second Saturday, May 14th with a wine and cheese reception for the artist from

carla goldberg exhibitions

6 to 9 pm that evening.

The exhibition will run thru Sunday June 5th.

Artists Bio                          

Carla Goldberg is a mixed media artist originally from Palm Springs, California. A simple country drive to the Hudson Valley right after finishing her MFA from MICA in Baltimore would prove to be life altering. She has been in the Hudson Valley region ever since raising a family and creating work dealing with environment, water, history, folklore, science and social commentary.

 

Carla Goldberg is a member of bau Gallery (Beacon Artists Union), a contributing member of the Beacon Art Salon and a Council Member of the International Coalition of Artists known as Mirca Art Group. She also started a pop-up gallery "Insight Gallery" in Cold Spring, NY, during the summer of 2009, focusing on artists of the Hudson Region as an alternative and temporary art-space. Presently, she is the new Gallery Director of Skylight Gallery NYC in Chelsea on West 29th Street, which brings artists from the Hudson Valley together with City based artists. Additionally, she has curated large group shows, including the Centennial Celebration for the University of Redlands and the Freedom & Art project, which brought together a diverse group of 74 International Artists from 27 countries together as a fundraising format for Amnesty International. The project received coverage by the BBC Radio Free Asia and has become a traveling exhibition that started in Beacon, and 3 other Hudson Valley venues and has gone on now to Cape Town, South Africa.

 

Goldberg's art has been shown nationally and internationally in galleries, universities and museums, and can be found in public spaces and private collections.

Peter Clark, Enrico Giordano and Setsuya Kotani Exhibitions at Garrison Art Center April 15 – May 8 2011

Peter Clark, Enrico Giordano and Setsuya Kotani

Exhibitions at Garrison Art Center April 15 – May 8

 

On April 15, Garrison Art Center will open three exhibitions to run through May 8, 2011, with an opening reception on Friday, April 15, 6 to 8 pm. Sculpture by the late Peter Clark will be featured on the Art Center’s Sidewalk Sculpture Gallery concurrent with a show of his two-dimensional work at neighboring gallery, DM Carulli Studio, which will host a simultaneous opening.

 

Peter Clark was an influential figure at Garrison Art Center serving as president for many years and was instrumental in strengthening the exhibition series in the two exhibition galleries.  Clark was a strong voice for art and a mentor and inspiration for many emerging artists in the region.  After Clark’s death in 2003, a retrospective of his work was produced by Collaborative Concepts, and in late 2005, Garrison Art Center produced "Peter Clark-Late Work" an exhibition of mixed media studio drawings.  This will be the first show of Clark’s work since that time, much of the work never exhibited.  The exhibition at DM Carulli Studio will run through April 30, by appointment.

 

Featured in Garrison Art Center’s Gillette Gallery are large paintings and drawings by Enrico Giordano. Giordano's tactile surfaces are influenced by his childhood experience of being with his father and grandfather while they made felt hats for their millinery store.  Many materials include those from the hat making process such as felt, wax, and varnish. Dominant colors include earth tones and black, made with concrete pigments and tar based silicone, references from his boyhood experiences of playing sports on Brooklyn’s sidewalks and streets. 

 

In the Balter Gallery are selected paintings by Setsuya Kotani. Art historian and critic, Roger Lipsey, says of Kotani's work, "Kotani drives toward the perfect object: the painting as perfect object.  In this, as in much else, he is true to the craft disciplines of his native Japan. Surfaces tend to be taut and durable, as if a veil of hard glaze has been drawn over them.  Compositions are long meditated and meticulously rendered.  Though much in his work is enigmatic--these are poetries with which one can live for many years without tiring of them--the enigmas are presented with utter clarity."

New Art Dealers Alliance Art Fair in Hudson July 30th & 31st 2011

 

Upstate Art Scene Gets Boost with New NADA Art Fair in Hudson

 Benjamin Sutton 

 

• Come late July: 100 percent less snow, 100 percent more art.

 

Remember how last summer we suggested you travel up the beautiful Hudson River Valley to take in some of the region's world-class art institutions? Well this summer there'll be another must-see stop on your upstate art day trip: the NADA Art Fair in Hudson on July 30 and 31.

 

• So much prettier than Pier 94.

 

On Monday Lindsay Pollock reported that the New Art Dealers Alliance would inaugurate the warm months counterpart to its December fair in Miami (during Art Basel Miami Beach) with the new two-day fair in Hudson, New York on the final weekend in July. The new NADA fair will take place in the 1884 former foundry and forge Basilica Hudson on the riverfront at 110 Front Street (a two-minute walk from the Hudson Amtrak station).

Participating artists and galleries have yet to be announced, but the season and setting are certainly attractive. Plus Marina Abramovic's in-the-works performance art foundation is just a few steps away—not to mention the bustling local gallery scene.

JOAN HARMON AND PAT HICKMAN: River That Runs Both Ways March 2, 2011—March 26, 2011

CURRENT EXHIBITION

JOAN HARMON AND PAT HICKMAN: River That Runs Both Ways

 

Event Type: Opening

March 2, 2011—March 26, 2011

 

-- In this new work, Pat Hickman and Joan Harmonspeak to their relationship with the Hudson River, the body of water on whose west bank they both live.

In her work Joan Harmon is charting the Hudson through the duel lenses of Google Earth and her daily view of the River. These new drawings combine her fascination with the river’s shape as an abstract form with the ancient art of mapping.  www.joanharmon.com

Pat Hickman is working with what is found beneath the surface. When trees fall into the water, over decades they decay, eventually disappearing into the river bottom. What resists this disintegration are the strange shapes formed where the branch joined the trunk, a cross-grained, pitch hardened core like a tooth in a human head. Hickman is exploring visual metaphors with these river teeth, the last part of the body to let go. www.pathickman.com
