PEEKSKILL PROJECT V, The New Hudson River School @ HVCCA Main Gallery

HVCCA is proud to present this exhibition in the main gallery of the museum, as the centerpiece exhibition of PEEKSKILL PROJECT V, a year-long citywide art festival of rotating site-specific art exhibitions, performances and screenings sited in multiple venues throughout Peekskill.  The exhibition was curated by renowned critic and curator Lilly Wei and HVCCA director Livia Straus. Drawing from artists who have lived and worked throughout the Hudson Valley region, the exhibition is comprised of works that respond- some more directly than others- to the Hudson River, the landscape of the region and explore themes of human connection to nature.

“The New Hudson River School” artists include: Brandon Ballengée, Thomas Bangsted, Ali Banisadr, Phyllida Barlow, Huma Bhabha, Margaret Cogswell, Diana Cooper, Grayson Cox, Nicole Eisenman, Jeffrey Gibson, Greg Haberny, Ellen Harvey, Ran Hwang, Robert Lobe & Kathleen Gilje, Marie Lorenz, Virginia Martinsen, Charles McGill, Yigal Ozeri, Daniel Phillips, Brie Ruais, Will Ryman, Ouattara Watts, and Michael Zelehoski.

MAY 12TH – JUNE 2ND, 2013

Itziar Barrio @ HVCCA Mezzanine Gallery

Opening Reception: Sunday, May 12, 5-7pm

In this multi-layered digital video, Itziar Barrio takes a line borrowed from popular music as the departure point for an elaborate exploration of performance, language, politics, and sexuality. Drawing its title from the chorus of British pop star Adele’s 2011 smash single, “Rolling In The Deep,” the work pays homage to the global appeal of Adele’s music while inquiring into the myth-like notion of total fulfillment.
