SUMMARY:Isaac Julien: Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:Sir Isaac Julien’s moving image installation Lessons of the Hour (2019) interweaves period reenactments across five screens to create a vivid picture of nineteenth-century activist\, writer\, orator\, and philosopher Frederick Douglass. Through critical research\, fictional reconstruction\, and a marriage of poetic image and sound\, Julien asserts Douglass’ enduring lessons of justice\, abolition\, and freedom that remain just as relevant today. \nLessons of the Hour features passages from Douglass’ key speeches\, including the titular “Lessons of the Hour\,” “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” and “Lecture on Pictures.” \nJulien weaves together reenacted scenes from Douglass’ life and lectures\, filming at his historic home in Washington\, DC\, and a restaged studio of famed Black photographer J.P. Ball (1825–1904) as he makes a portrait of Douglass. Images of contemporary Baltimore—the city where Douglass was enslaved and escaped from bondage in 1838—including footage of fireworks and protests in 2015 following the death of Freddie Gray\, Jr. while in police custody\, are interspersed as the struggle to make good on America’s promise of equality continues. \nLessons of the Hour was jointly acquired by SAAM and the National Portrait Gallery in 2023. The 28-minute work debuted for Washington audiences December 8\, 2023\, and remains on public view through the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States in 2026. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Pictures of Belonging: Miki Hayakawa\, Hisako Hibi\, and Miné Okubo
DESCRIPTION:Pictures of Belonging is an unprecedented examination of these three trailblazing figures.  By tracing their artistic development before\, during\, and after the mass incarceration and displacement of Japanese Americans during World War II\, the exhibition offers a nuanced view of how these women continued to explore and experiment with new artistic expression throughout their lives. Created during tumultuous decades in modern U.S. history\, their paintings\, along with their stories of resilience\, remind us of art’s power in the face of adversity and challenge. \nThe exhibition includes works by Hisako Hibi and Miné Okubo recently acquired for SAAM’s collection\, part of a multi-year initiative to expand and enrich the representation of Asian American experiences\, perspectives\, and artistic accomplishment in public displays and new scholarship. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Held Impermanence (Artists Select: Katherine Simóne Reynolds)
DESCRIPTION:The Clyfford Still Museum’s guest-curated exhibition\, Held Impermanence (Artists Select: Katherine Simóne Reynolds)\, illuminates multiple competing desires held in constant tension within the Museum. Organized by award-winning filmmaker\, artist\, and curator Katherine Simóne Reynolds\, the exhibition draws deeply on CSM’s collections. The exhibition runs from January 25–September 14\, 2025. \nAccording to Reynolds\, the collection testifies to Still’s ambitious attempt to keep his entire corpus intact. The commitment to the integrity of that body of work allows viewers to see not only the acclaimed masterpieces but also paintings made in painful transitions and others that bear the scars of time. Artworks change over time; their materials carry the stain of what conservators describe as inherent vice. Viewers see paintings that need to rest and heal\, bearing marks that suggest\, through their surfaces\, condition\, and textures\, metaphors of viscera\, bile\, and wounds. \nIn the Museum’s six largest galleries\, Reynolds’s exhibition asks viewers how they view healing over time\, respond with their bodies to this corpus\, and how they might approach Still’s achievements from a perspective that contends with his and their own senses of mortality—and with it\, a shared desire to hold impermanence. \nKatherine Simóne Reynolds is an artist\, scholar\, and curator who investigates emotional dialects and psychogeographies of Blackness within the Black Midwestern landscape. Her art physicalizes emotions and experiences through photo-based works\, film\, choreography\, sculpture\, and anxious writing practice. She has exhibited in national and international group and solo shows. \n  \nReynolds chose several paintings with condition issues to highlight the impact of conservation throughout the exhibition. She also selected a collection of archival photographs\, letters\, and notes to demonstrate the themes and emotions throughout the exhibition and two original archival objects. The Museum expands on exhibition content and Reynolds’ curatorial process in its free mobile guide on Bloomberg Connects. CSM also offers visitors two takeaway resources in the exhibition’s first gallery\, including Essays on Held Impermanence\, a companion booklet to the exhibition\, and Exploring Feelings and Art: A Family Guide. \nHeld Impermanence follows a chronological display of Still’s works in the Museum’s first three galleries. \n  Save

SUMMARY:You what?
DESCRIPTION:“Applebroog pursues issues that transcend gender – issues of innocence and vulnerability\, of self-knowledge and mortality.  She does not want us to forget the reality of mass murders and political terrorism or to accept nuclear weapons as a fact of life.  Applebroog does not offer solutions.  Rather\, she makes us see what’s there – the poignancy\, the devastation\, and the potential for goodness.  This is political art of the highest order.” \nRuth Bass\, excerpt from Ordinary People\, ARTnews  (May\, 1988) \nIn a post-truth era\, with surging racism\, chauvinism\, sexism\, transphobia\, and other alarming trends\, Ronald Feldman Gallery announces an exhibition of work by Ida Applebroog (1929-2023).  Finding inspiration from an expansive psychological perspective\, this acclaimed artist is known for her razor-sharp explorations of contemporary life. Her art transforms current events into human events by employing carefully selected examples of individual lives as representations of collective society – in short\, an inside-out versus clinical (outside-looking-in) approach.  By presenting emotionally-charged “mid-situations” – narratives with undefined beginnings and ends\, and\, later on\, loaded juxtapositions – Applebroog masterfully empowers viewers to use their hearts and minds to “finish” the work by determining the meaning for themselves.  Singular and affecting\, Applebroog’s art offers a space for visceral experiences as a path for engaging with a spectrum of issues\, and a doorway into the diverseness of the human psyche. \nYou what? focuses on work created by the artist in the 1980s and early 1990s – a fascinating period of development and maturation into greater scale and complexity.  During this time\, Applebroog had eight solo exhibitions at the Ronald Feldman Gallery\, who represented her work between 1981 and 2005\, featuring it in a total of twelve solo exhibitions. \nIn Shake (1980)\, Applebroog depicts a decisive moment: the meeting of two well-dressed couples who are framed by curtains\, as if seen through a window or on a stage.  Classic for its voyeurism and “instant coffee” style of drawing (intentionally minimal and generic)\, the work is augmented by a shadow panel which echoes the subjects’ formality and constraint.  Another vellum work\, Not This Time (1982)\, composed like a comic strip with multiple frames in a long row\, is not an action sequence: the image of a woman seated beside her suitcase is carefully repeated seven times.  The text “I’d better not” and “Not this time” suggests tentativeness and doubt\, while the repetition clearly describes the event as a recurring pattern.  Does this silent struggle represent the very real limits of oppression and abuse that one can endure? \nSeveral large paintings are included in the exhibition.  Rainbow Caverns (1987) is among the first the artist imagined as a combination of several paintings united into a single work.  Here\, a solo\, duo and trio of figures are repeated three times\, respectively\, each on their own predella-like panel.  They join a giant female body builder\, posing in profile\, in surrounding a domestic scene of a matronly woman knitting in an armchair. Surrealistically\, the floor around this central image morphs into a corn field occupied by a flock of birds.  Camp Compazine (1988)\, with its large side panels extending out from the wall\, is Applebroog’s first example of a 3-D composition.  Immediately grabbing the viewer’s attention\, is a homunculus trapped in the mouth of a giant\, calling to mind Francisco Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Son.  A pair of executives\, who look to be mirror images of each other\, a young man seated on a stool but facing away\, and a protester carrying a sign reading “GOD” complete the periphery\, and in the center is a gang of turkeys.  Landscape is incorporated almost as a parody; the fields are not nostalgic places where people coexist within the harmony of nature\, but rather emotional terrain. \nIn the artist’s first catalogue\, her friend and dealer Ronald Feldman writes:  “Applebroog’s ability to get us to project [ourselves] into her work is exceptional.  She sets the stage; we are the players.  Drawn in to figure out what’s going on\, we soon realize that what’s going on is us.  We are more directly participants and less observers than in the roles provided for us by Vermeer or Rembrandt.  Our excitement is provided through direct self-discovery rather than through an unraveling of the secrets of the personages in the paintings.  As we enter Applebroog’s work our breath becomes more present and frightening.  We realize we are hiding secrets not only from each other but\, more importantly\, from ourselves.” \nIda Applebroog’s work has been the subject of many monographs and museum exhibitions\, and is included in the most prestigious public collections in the U.S. and abroad.  She was acknowledged as a genius when she received a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1998.  In addition\, she received an Honorary Doctorate from The New School University/Parsons School of Design in 1997\, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the College Art Association in 1995\, among many other distinctions of excellence. \nGallery viewing hours are Tuesday through Thursday\, 1pm – 5pm\, or by appointment.\nFor more information\, contact Cat Zhou at (212) 226-3232 or catherine@feldmangallery.com \n  Save

SUMMARY:Edvard Munch: Technically Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Discover the experimental methods of Edvard Munch\, who creatively explored materials and techniques across media. \nA dynamic collaboration between curatorial and conservation experts at the Harvard Art Museums\, Edvard Munch: Technically Speaking offers rare insight into the Norwegian artist’s innovative techniques and the recurring themes across his paintings\, woodcuts\, lithographs\, etchings\, and combination prints. The Harvard Art Museums house one of the largest and most significant collections of artwork by Munch in the United States\, and the exhibition showcases roughly 70 works\, including key loans from Munchmuseet\, Oslo. \nVisitors are invited to explore Munch’s artistic process\, uncovering his playful approach and fascination with materiality. He returned to some themes repeatedly during his lifetime\, carrying motifs across printmaking and painting and demonstrating how a single idea can evoke different responses through shifts in color and orientation. In the exhibition\, prints are displayed alongside the original copper plates\, woodblocks\, and lithography stones used to create them\, providing further access into Munch’s experimental practice. Edvard Munch: Technically Speaking also features groundbreaking research that sheds new light on the artist’s techniques and processes. \nCurated by Elizabeth M. Rudy\, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, and Lynette Roth\, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum; with Peter Murphy\, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum. \nResearch in collaboration with Ellen Davis\, Associate Paintings Conservator\, Penley Knipe\, Philip and Lynn Straus Senior Conservator of Works on Paper and Head of the Paper Lab\, Abby Schleicher\, Assistant Paper Conservator\, and Kate Smith\, Senior Conservator of Paintings and Head of the Paintings Lab\, all in the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies; and with contributions from Cambra Sklarz\, Diane and Michael Maher Curatorial Fellow of American Art\, and Kacper Kolęda and Tai Mitsuji\, Ph.D. candidates in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Harvard University. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Bienvenue: African American Artists in France
DESCRIPTION:Bienvenue: African American Artists in France\nMay 10–July 25\, 2025  \n“There is a breadth\, a generosity\, an obsolete cosmopolitanism about her [France] recognition of the fine arts\, which bars no nationality\, no race\, no school\, or variation of artistic method. All she asks is that the art shall be true\, in other words that it shall set forth life.”—Henry Ossawa Tanner\, 1908 [1] \n“Life in Paris offers me the anonymity and objectivity to release long-stored memories of sorrow\, and the beauty of the difficult effort to release and orchestrate in form and color a personal design. Being in France gives time for reflection. One never leaves home if one was never there.”—Beauford Delaney\, 1966 [2] \nMichael Rosenfeld Gallery is proud to present Bienvenue: African American Artists in France\, a historical survey of seventeen Black American artists who lived and worked in France from the late nineteenth century through the present. Complementing the landmark exhibition Paris Noir: Artistic circulations and anti-colonial resistance\, 1950–2000\, on view at the Centre Pompidou through June 30th\, Bienvenue offers an expanded look into the presence of Black American artists in France\, many of whom were seeking respite from the systemic racism that limited their opportunities for education and the recognition of their work in the United States. Where Paris Noir encompasses artists of the larger African diaspora working in the second half of the twentieth century\, Bienvenue: African American Artists in France focuses specifically on American artists\, and spans nearly eight decades in its chronological scope\, beginning with a 1912 painting by Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859–1937) and ending with a 1989 sculpture by Barbara Chase-Riboud (b.1934). \nBienvenue: African American Artists in France features works by Richmond Barthé*(1901–1989)\, Barbara Chase-Riboud* (b.1934)\, Ed Clark (1926–2019)\, Robert Colescott (1925–2009)\, Harold Cousins* (1916–1992)\, Beauford Delaney* (1901–1979)\, Herbert Gentry (1919–2003)\, Sam Gilliam (1933–2022)\, Palmer Hayden (1890–1973)\, Richard Hunt (1935–2023) William H. Johnson* (1901–1970)\, Augusta Savage (1892–1962)\, William Edouard Scott (1884–1964)\, Albert Alexander Smith (1896–1940)\, Henry Ossawa Tanner* (1859–1937)\, Bob Thompson* (1937–1966) and Hale Woodruff (1900–1980).[3] \nWidely regarded as the patriarch of Black American artists\, Henry Ossawa Tanner remains a foremost painter of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the first Black American artist to achieve international fame. His relocation from Philadelphia to Paris in 1891 set a precedent that would inspire future generations of Black American artists to train\, reside\, or sojourn in France\, including Harlem Renaissance master William Edouard Scott\, who studied under Tanner from 1910–13. Likewise\, Palmer Hayden\, Augusta Savage\, and Hale Woodruff each sought an audience with the elder master during their time in France in the 1920s and 1930s. In addition to invaluable advice on navigating the mores of French society\, Tanner also provided guidance on painting techniques and openly shared his understanding of art. In a 1970 issue of The Crisis\, Woodruff recalled his formative encounter with Tanner in 1928. Traveling to the small town in Picardy where Tanner lived in semi-retirement\, Woodruff introduced himself to “a remarkable man of profound intelligence and scholarship\,” who welcomed the young artist into his home. Upon asking who had most inspired him in the Parisian museums\, Woodruff recalled Tanner’s nomination of Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne as the most important painters of the modern age\, elaborating: \n“Remember that light can be many things: light for illuminating an object or for creating a mood; for purposes of dramatization as in a theatrical production. For myself\, I see light chiefly as a means of achieving a luminosity\, a luminosity not consisting of various light-colors but luminosity within a limited color range\, say\, a blue or blue-green. There should be a glow which indeed consumes the theme or subject. Still\, a light-glow which rises and falls in intensity as it moves through the painting. It isn’t simple to put into words.”[4] \nThough the country was not free of racism\, France generally afforded Black artists and intellectuals greater respect and more opportunities than the United States during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Such was the environment that prompted James Baldwin to make Paris his home in 1948\, and he spent the ensuing years encouraging his good friend Beauford Delaney to join him. Delaney eventually agreed\, moving from his Greene Street loft in Greenwich Village to Montparnasse in 1953. Delaney would remain in the vicinity of Paris for the remainder of his life\, composing a singular body of gestural\, chromatically nuanced abstractions and a celebrated series of portraits that reflect the creative and spiritual inspiration he felt in the European capital. “I left New York for Paris in 1953\, and I have painted with greater freedom ever since\,” Delaney wrote some ten years after leaving the United States. “I tried to paint light\, different kinds of light\, and my painting has been associated with ‘abstraction.’ But there are no precise limits for me between ‘abstract’ and ‘figurative’ paintings and I have always continued to paint portraits of friends.”[5] Delaney is a particularly strong presence in Paris Noir\, which features twelve paintings by the artist\, eight of which are on loan from Michael Rosenfeld Gallery. \nWhile Paris has always been a cultural hub for creatives and intellectuals\, many artists featured in Bienvenue traveled to the countryside or coast to paint\, following the tradition of the Impressionist and modernist masters that inspired them. The exhibition offers key examples of this tradition\, including maritime paintings by Palmer Hayden and a coastal scene by Tanner executed along the coast of Brittany; a seminal painting by William H. Johnson depicting the idyllic coastal town of Cagnes-Sur-Mer; a landscape portraying the island of Port-Cros off the French Riviera by Delaney; and a scene of the Eure river by Woodruff executed in Chartres. \nThe cosmopolitan hub of Paris was a natural attraction for Black American artists\, who found the city’s architecture\, social spaces\, and creative circles to be rich sources of inspiration. Several works in the exhibition feature distinctly Parisian subjects\, including Richmond Barthé’s iconic sculpture of Senegalese cabaret dancer Feral Benga; William Edouard Scott’s transcendent portrayal of Notre Dame; and a classic rendition of the Pont Neuf by Woodruff. Parisian nightlife is likewise a recurring theme of the exhibition; in addition to Barthé’s bronze portrait of Benga\, drawings by Robert Colescott and Albert Alexander Smith depicting cabaret performances are also on view. \nOpportunities for education and art training were another primary draw for many artists\, particularly in the postwar era. The exhibition features two abstract paintings by Ed Clark\, who enrolled at L’académie de la Grande Chaumière in 1952; major sculptures by Harold Cousins\, who studied at Ossip Zadkine’s studio in 1949; and a quintessential abstract painting by Herbert Gentry\, who likewise studied under Zadkine and at L’académie de la Grande Chaumière in the late 1940s. Four paintings by Bob Thompson will also be on view; executed during his first trip to Europe in 1961–62\, these works testify to the hours Thompson spent at the Louvre and Paris’ many other museums\, soaking up the compositional devices of the Old Masters and translating them into thoroughly contemporary paintings using his own unique expressionist voice. \nMichael Rosenfeld Gallery is recognized for modern and contemporary art. Since its founding in 1989\, the gallery has been committed to expanding the canon of American art by championing artists who have made vital contributions to surrealism\, social realism\, abstract expressionism\, figurative expressionism\, and geometric abstraction. Michael Rosenfeld Gallery’s dedication to presenting the work of nineteenth and twentieth century Black American masters is as longstanding as the gallery itself; in addition to dozens of solo exhibitions focused on Black American artists\, the gallery organized the renowned annual exhibition series African-American Art: 20th Century Masterworks from 1993–2003. \n1.

SUMMARY:Famous & Family: Through the Lens of Trude Fleischmann
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition: Austrian-born Trude Fleischmann (1895-1990) was one of the most accomplished female photographers of the 20th century.

SUMMARY:The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Explore a remarkable collection of artworks that span the centuries and discover how it was assembled over seven decades. \nThe Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond celebrates a significant recent bequest to the Harvard Art Museums from passionate collectors Arthur K. and Mariot F. Solomon. The exhibition spotlights over 135 works\, including paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, and prints by some of the most significant artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century\, and offers visitors an intimate view into the highly personal yet inherently collaborative nature of art collecting. \nThe artists featured span six centuries and include virtuoso printmakers\, from the pioneers of engraving such as Hans Sebald Beham\, Martin Schongauer\, and Albrecht Dürer to inventive painter-etchers like Salvator Rosa\, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\, and Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes; provocateurs of 19th-century painting such as Eugène Delacroix\, Théodore Géricault\, Gustave Courbet\, Claude Monet\, Edgar Degas\, and Paul Cézanne; groundbreaking sculptors like Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux\, Henry Moore\, Wilhelm Lehmbruck\, David Smith\, and Anthony Caro; trailblazers of abstraction like Kenneth Noland\, Jules Olitski\, and Larry Poons; and stalwart Boston artists Marjorie Minkin and Peter Lipsitt. \nAn accompanying print catalogue highlights works in the Solomon Collection with entries written by curators\, former and current postdoctoral fellows\, and Harvard faculty and graduate students. The volume also includes a history of the couple’s lifelong engagement with art and the dealers\, professors\, and curators who helped inform their collecting. \n  Save

SUMMARY:FOREST BATHING | A Group Exhibition about Nature
DESCRIPTION:FOREST BATHING |  A Group Exhibition about Nature \nCurated by Jen Dragon \nJune 13 – July 21\, 2025 \nGallery Hours: Friday – Monday: 10:00 – 5:00 PM \nExhibition Reception: June 15\, 3:00 – 5:00 PM \nEXHIBITION WEBPAGE \n(Saugerties\, NY)—Opus 40 Gallery presents Forest Bathing\, a group exhibition that explores the profound connection between art and the healing power of the natural world. Opening with a reception for the artists on Sunday\, June 15th\, from 3:00 to 5:00 PM\, this exhibition offers a much-needed breath of fresh air for the soul. \nInspired by the Japanese concept of Shinrin-Yoku\, or “Forest Bathing\,” this exhibition delves into mindfully immersing ourselves in the woodlands’ sights\, sounds\, smells\, and textures. Originating in the 1980s as a gentle antidote to the increasing pace of technological life\, Forest Bathing is prescribed by Japanese physicians as a way to calm stressed nerves\, ease pain\, and nurture the spirit. \n“In a world that often feels overwhelming and disconnected\, the simple act of being in nature can be incredibly restorative\,” says exhibition curator\, Jen Dragon. “This exhibition on the grounds of Opus 40 celebrates that connection\, showcasing how six contemporary artists independently find inspiration and solace in the woodlands.” \nThis group exhibition features the work of Katie DeGroot\, Gabriella Kirby\, Anne Leith\, Robin McClintock\, Laura Von Rosk\, Martin Weinstein and Dion Yannatos. While their approaches vary\, the woodlands serve as a powerful touchstone\, resulting in a diverse and compelling collection of paintings that resonate with the beauty and complexity of nature. A version of this show premiered in Venice\, Italy\, during the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024. \nForest Bathing opens with a reception for the artists on Sunday\, June 15th\, from 3:00 – 5:00 PM. The exhibition will be on view through Monday\, July 21st\, 2025. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Adam Cable: Domestic Techtonics
DESCRIPTION:Amos Eno Gallery\, a non-profit artist collective in the Lower East Side\, Manhattan\, is pleased to present Domestic Tectonics\, a solo exhibition in the gallery’s Project Space by Adam Cable. An opening reception is scheduled for Friday\, June 20\, at 191 Henry St\, New York\, NY; The Project Space will be open on Saturdays from noon to 6 p.m. and by request during the gallery’s regular hours.​ \nCable’s energizing collages transform and remix depictions of home environments\, blending physical and emotional associations with the observable world. Through his use of found digital images—ranging from snapshots to commercial textures—and arrangements into perspective-based scenes\, these layered works function like a visual puzzle. The image fragments form pictorial metaphors and narratives that conform to or push against the contours of domestic settings\, relaying the artist’s feelings of incompatibility within everyday spaces. As these layers slip in and out of their expected places\, sometimes frictions burn bright. Other times\, unexpected moments of harmony emerge from the image pairings. Domestic Tectonics visualizes how internalized forces define and shape the terrain of awareness\, even within seemingly neutral\, intimate settings such as the American home.  \n​The ten works on view include State of Emergency (Crash)\, where a test car explodes in a freeze-frame impact\, bursting within the outline of an oversized plant against a windowed wall comprised of asphalt\, seatbelts\, and traffic cone orange. A companion piece\, State of Emergency (Collide)\, encapsulates a maelstrom of grief amidst one’s continued existence in a suddenly remade world. Its similar leafy form now vibrates with barely contained energy\, hosting a black-and-white image of lightning bolts as the backdrop reveals a burnt-down neighborhood through the granite-curtained window. In Holding My Breath (Known Conclusions)\, Cable employs a personal narrative to express the tension between external expectations and internal pressures. A ‘pillow’ form contains a lit match photograph atop an oil-slick-patterned bedspread. Partially enclosed by a bed frame made of timber\, the scene plays out against a color-inverted backdrop of an open Christian bible\, illustrative of the artist’s self-realization of homosexuality within an evangelical upbringing and its resulting fallout. \nInfluenced by the spatial reorganization of early 20th-century Crystal Cubism and crisply outlined paintings of interiors by Brazilian artist Wanda Pimentel\, Cable breaks apart and reconstructs pictures to create reimaged spaces that navigate cultural and social values\, relationships\, experiences\, and the built environment. Building on years of using images as malleable raw material\, he remaps the familiar through visceral\, emotive compositions\, delving into how these private—yet publicly influenced—sites engage with and influence the inner lives of their inhabitants. Cable’s work articulates ‘queer domesticity\,’ a multifaceted concept about how the home can be both a place of belonging and exclusion\, defined by subjectivity and experiences.  \nAuthor Stephen Vider\, in The Queerness of Home\, notes that “For LGBTQ people\, home was the critical site of contact with the conventions of the American family and the gender\, sexual\, racial\, and class norms they consolidated.” We relate to communities and ourselves through the lens of the home. Yet\, these connections are often fraught with tension between cultural ideals and the realities of being.  \n​Domestic Tectonics portrays perception as constantly shifting ground underfoot. Sometimes\, its transitions go unnoticed; at others\, the topography transforms abruptly. Nothing is truly static. \n​About the Artist\nAdam Cable (b. 1989) creates vignettes of American domestic life using found digital images. His work entwines perception and narratives into the reconstruction of these environments\, highlighting ways that impressions and expectations inform experiences of space. Cable has shown in several group and solo exhibitions\, including at The Painting Center\, NYC; University of North Carolina\, Asheville; PULSE Art Fair\, Miami; Local Project\, NYC; and The Plaxall Gallery\, NYC. He co-curated Annus Horribilis with Float Magazine in 2020\, a group exhibition of work created that globally significant year\, and in 2021\, The Wassaic Project included his work in the book Secrets of the Friendly Woods. Cable holds an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2017) and a BFA from the University of North Carolina\, Asheville (2013). He lives and works in Brooklyn NY. \nImage: State of Emergency (Crash)\, 2021. Archival inkjet print\, 24 x 18 inches. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Julianne Nash: Flora non Grata
DESCRIPTION:Amos Eno Gallery\, a non-profit\, artist-run gallery\, is pleased to present Flora non Grata\, the inaugural solo exhibition by artist Julianne Nash. The exhibition will be on view from June 19 to July 27\, 2025\, with an opening reception on Friday\, June 20th\, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery at 191 Henry St. on New York’s Lower East Side. Works will also be available to view online via Artsy. \nCoinciding with the release of her first monograph by the same name (Snap Collective\, 2025)\, Flora non Grata encompasses nearly ten years of the artist’s photographic explorations into personal and ecological grief. Grappling with the conventions of vanitas and isolation\, Nash creates images that are in a constant state of evolution – akin to the fragile ecosystems she seeks to memorialize. Blurring the boundaries between documentary\, artifice\, and perception\, Nash constructs mutable landscapes where nothing is certain. Images explode with vivid color or collapse into near monochrome as they rest uneasily in a moment of instability on the edge of collapse. Individual elements—rocks\, leaves\, blades of grass—are rendered with sharp clarity\, full of crisp lines and delineation while others blur into abstraction\, alive with mystery. Nash’s landscapes are composed through agglomerated digital processes—stacked images\, layered focuses\, color distortions\, digital compression. Her methods are both precise\, yet unpredictable. Moving pieces of landscape around the digital plane\, the artist allows for elements of serendipitous discovery to occur between layers\, each building upon the last.  \nThe heart of the exhibition is a 12-foot dye sublimation print on celtic cloth\, Juniper and Sagebrush (22 Images). The hostile aridity of the desert envelops viewers through the combination of infrared photographs and digitally painted golden hues. Desert landscapes are deeply vulnerable to subtle changes as all species vie for limited resources—a sobering reminder amid the accelerating spread of desertification. The juniper tree\, twisting on a cellular level in response to hardship\, becomes a metaphor for both ecological adaptation and human resilience. This desert is not empty but charged with silent struggle; a vanishing place marked by its refusal to remain still.  \nIn parallel to this sits a triptych\, Artemisia Tridentata\, that focuses on sagebrush at various times of day. As a sacred plant for many Indigenous peoples of North America\, the sagebrush’s history is fraught\, a constant tension written into the bones of the desert landscape. The job of the sagebrush is regeneration: a keystone species growing out of the erosion-carved\, cracked earth\, made brittle from poor alkaline soils where few other species can survive while providing water to those that do with its tendril-like roots. Its vast range can be deceiving—the loss of sagebrush habitat is accelerating\, and thus the species it provides habitat for. As cheatgrass and other non-native species increase\, warmer conditions spark more fires with more frequency and the ecosystem becomes ever-more unstable. While we\, much like the sagebrush\, may have roots strong enough to endure crisis and regrow\, the frequency and intensity of our changing systems make both our future and the future of the ‘sagebrush sea’ precarious. \nThe exhibition also presents earlier work by Nash\, including lenticular prints that render image-stacked layers on shifting focal planes. In Grandpa’s Flowers Post Mortem  (Focus Stack\, 74 Images\, Re-stacked 5 Times Upon Itself)\, Nash compresses the life cycle of funerary flowers down to a chaotic yet orderly frame indecipherable to logic. “[A] bouquet of errors\,” Lyle Rexer writes of Julianne’s floral arrangements in his book Fifteen Pictures to Understand Photography\, later saying: \n“These make for an image that is both static and unstable\, superficially perspicuous and incoherent. […] Wedded to a lens-based viewpoint\, audiences find that viewpoint undercut by Nash’s flowers\, and with it the dual sense of the subject – the subject being looked at and the subject doing the looking. The experience eludes description\, like going blind. Something is there to be seen\, but what it is and how it is done cannot be grasped visually.”  \nA selection of Nash’s most somber series Ennuipocalypse fills the gallery’s back room with a desaturated void of darkened landscapes.  These works present stark realities—seemingly healthy wetlands\, disappearing glaciers\, dead forests—all in an act of vanishing\, both epidemiologically and visually. A cold\, unflinching examination of landscapes under threat\, the artist contemplates extinction on both micro and geologic scales. Nash questions our collective emotional dissonance of climate collapse\, inspired by David Wallace-Wells’s “climate’s kaleidoscope” from The Uninhabitable Earth: \n“This is climate’s kaleidoscope: we can be mesmerized by the threat directly in front of us without ever perceiving it clearly. Climate devastation is everywhere you look\, and yet nowhere in focus\, as though we are displacing our anxieties about global warming by restaging them in theaters of our own design and control.” \nThe exhibition concludes with Nash’s most recent piece: Drill\, Baby\, Drill a dye-sublimation print on satin\, created in response to the current administration’s rollback of climate protections. Land\, sea and sky collapse in on themselves into a swirling\, flooded frame\, shimmering with the movement of gallery visitors as the satin fabric moves gently with the air. The surface effect evokes a water-like shine to the already flooded frame\, underscoring the precariousness of our present ecological moment. Climate change has become an environmental uncanny—everywhere and nowhere\, omnipresent yet out of focus. Nash’s images don’t offer certainty\, but ask you to sit with ambiguity\, to feel into the multiplicity of the fragile living world and\, perhaps\, to reattune your senses to its rhythms\, suggesting that to perceive is to care. \nAbout the Artist \nJulianne Nash received her MFA in Photography Video and Related Media from the School of Visual Arts (2018) and her BFA in Photography from Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2013). Julianne’s work has been exhibited widely in galleries such as: The Wassaic Project\, Griffin Museum of Photography\, Robert Klein Gallery\, et al.; and has been published in magazines such as Create!\, Dear Dave\, Meregoat Magazine\, and more. Most notably\, Julianne’s work was published in Lyle Rexer’s acclaimed book\, The Critical Eye: Fifteen Pictures to Understand Photography (Intellect Press 2019).  Julianne’s work has lead her to participate in multiple climate-focused events such as: “Lost in the Woods: Grief and the Ennuipocalypse”\, a Death Cafe she hosted with the Greenwood Cemetery; and the Creative Climate Awards 2024 at the Human Impacts Institute\, which included a CCA Arts & Action Chat: “From Climate Anxiety & Grief to Action”.  Julianne has participated in residencies at The Montello Foundation (NV)\, The Eastern Frontier Society’s Norton Island Residency (ME)\, and SEAR: Searsport Eco-Art Residency with Parsonage Gallery (ME). \nImage: Juniper and Sagebrush (22 Images)\, 2024.
