- LEONARDO
SILAGHI

Untitled,
2010; oil on canvas, 84 x 120” |
September
19, 2010 - December 19, 2010
Summer 2010 Artist-in-Residence: 23 year-old Leonardo Silaghi’s
first solo painting exhibition in the United States. Silaghi’s
large scale paintings are based on a photographic reality,
which is later distilled by means of abstraction. This combination
leads to images that are both indistinct and coherent at
the same time. It is in this complex way that the artist
easily crosses the line between abstract and figurative art. |

Ongoing Long-Term Installations
- Serge
Onnen - Planetariummonetarium, 2009
 |
In Planetariummonetarium,
the work on show by Serge Onnen, a variant
is staged: what we are is heavily influenced
by the ways in which we are able to gather
information from the things we see. His Peekskill Planetariummonetarium is
a small sphere filled with 13 kaleidoscopes
and hundreds of small coins from around the
world. ‘An intimate inner-space on the
wide shores of the Hudson river,’ he
writes. |
- Job
Koelewijn - Water Works, 2009
 |
Water
Works is located at the Annsville Creek
Preserve in Peekskill, NY (MAP). The park
is open from dawn to dusk. Job Koelewijn’s
installation has been made possible through
the generous support by the Mondriaan Foundation,
the Consulate General of the Netherlands
in New York and FONDS BKVB. |
- Daan
Padmos - Time Sharing, 2009
 |
In
the real estate business, ‘time sharing’ means
sharing ownership of a house, allowing purchasers
to occupy it during a specified period of
time each year. Padmos is fabricating a series
of maquettes of the sculpture in three sizes.
The money from the sale of the maquettes
is being used to finance the fabrication
of the large-scale sculpture, but at the
same time the buyers become closely involved
in the project. |
- Folkert
de Jong - Mount Maslow, 2007
 |
Dutch
artist Folkert de Jong is one of the most innovative
young sculptors today. Inspired by Abraham
Maslow’s “Theory of Human Motivation,” De
Jong stages an 18-foot styrofoam snow mountain
being scaled by two bearded figures. Hamburger
Hill references an American assault on a Vietnam
position in which most of the troops died and
the hill had no strategic value. |
- Grimanesa
Amorós - SUBSTANCIAL, 2007
 |
This
project is a site-specific permanent installation
displayed in the large façade window
of the Hudson River HealthCare Center (HRHCare),
focusing on its relationship with the diverse
community of Peekskill, New York. |
- Thomas
Hirschhorn - Laundrette, 2001
 |
Using
commonplace materials such as cardboard, linoleum,
postage tape and aluminum foil, Swiss artist
Thomas Hirschhorn has recreated a full-scale
replica of a laundrette, in which cardboard
models of washing-machines are inset with television
sets showing global atrocities downloaded from
the internet juxtaposed to videos of the artist
performing everyday, commonplace tasks. Hirschhorn,
who has become the most celebrated international
installation artist, challenges us to consider
how poverty and neglect has led to human incivility. |
