Lives of The Hudson
Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery
This continent’s great rivers have in large measure defined and shaped American history and culture. Far more than a short river flowing through New York State, the Hudson is a thread that runs through the fabric of four centuries of American history, through the development of American civilization--its culture, its community, and its consciousness. The exhibition will be a unique exploration of several themes that trace their way through the history of the Hudson River with sections dedicated to the natural river, imagined river, human river, and working river. In addition to important works by Hudson River School painters, Lives of The Hudson exhibition will include objects of material culture and tourism, science, and new works by several artists from New York State and beyond, such as Jason Middlebrook, An My-Le, Matthew Buckingham, Alan Michelson, Bob Braine and Leslie Reed, Peter Hutton, and Stacy Levy.
10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Amazement Park: Stan, Sara and Johannes VanDerBeek
Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery
A yearlong exhibition combines work by influential avant-garde filmmaker Stan VanDerBeek (1927-1984) with work by his daughter Sara (b. 1976, photography and collage) and son Johannes (b. 1982, sculpture and collage). One work by each artist will be on view in the gallery at any given time. Works will rotate each month. The changing nature of the project mirrors the spirit of the many of the works, which reveal common interests in re-combination, collage, ephemeral materials, and architectural forms and spaces. Over the course of one year a complex picture of influence and experimentation will emerge.
