"HVCCA is the most dynamic
contemporary art site in Westchester...
Maybe one day, these regional, more experimental art places might supercede
art-stately New York City."

As part of a focus on the Quadricentennial
year of the Dutch settlement along the Hudson,
HVCCA presents a solo exhibition by Fendry Ekel
in the Mezannine Gallery. In this exhibition

are used as a confirmation of power to seduce,
manipulate and intimidate. |
Ongoing Long-Term
Installations
- 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. |
- 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. |
