In Dialogue: The State of Art in Eastern & Central Europe
November 16, 2010, 7:00 – 8:00 PM

In support of the current exhibition After the Fall, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary welcomes US Editor of Flashart, Nicola Trezzi, and Czech painter and Fall 2010 Artist-in-Residence, Daniel Pitin, for In Dialogue. Pitin and Trezzi will deliver a joint dialogue on the state of art in Eastern and Central Europe and solicit audience participation to enhance and direct the conversation. The discussion will investigate the multi-faceted nature of Daniel Pitin’s art, as well as trace the regional aesthetic of After the Fall from its emergence as social realism to reality show.

This event is free and open to the public. A 6:30 members-only cocktail reception will precede the program. Join today to gain exlusive access.

Reservations are suggested, and can be made by contacting Roger Arnold, Membership Coordinator, at (914) 788-0100.
