This exhibition investigates art and its relationship to the built environment. Architecturally… concerns itself with the in-between, the collaborative and the transdisciplinary. The primacy of the disciplines of art and architecture will be temporarily suspended for a more inclusive dialog on space and the site-specific. The artists and projects shown represent a wide range of disciplines including architecture, photography, painting, sculpture, video and dance, transcending the walls of Hendershot Gallery to encompass the entire sixth floor of the building.
Visions in New York City is an exhibition of short films and videos by established and emergent artists from all over the world. The film and video content and stills from these will be exhibited in Macy Art Gallery for two weeks, November 2 – November 13, 10 am – 6 pm, Mon – Fri.
The exhibition will end with a reception at the Macy Gallery on November 13, 6 – 9 pm.
Macy Gallery, 444 Macy Hall,

PROJECT ROOM: Jason Varone
September 3 — October 3
opening reception: September 3 — 6 – 8 PM
Varone’s latest works incorporate news related data from the internet with painting, illustrations and sound. Forcing technology into painting as technology is forced upon the landscape Varone’s works reflect humanity’s struggle with emergencies and crisis while also toying with the media representation of bad news.
Hendershot Gallery is pleased to exhibit the work of Jason Varone in the inauguration of the project room. As an extension of the gallery, Hendershot offices are open to the public as a means to exhibit new projects by emerging artists and convey the message that all are welcome here.
Update: Here are two photos from the show.
