Exhibition: No Misery Can Tell, No Word of Farewell

Among them, Cate Pasquarelli’s glass cloche sculptures subtly question the miniaturization and commodification of our collective crises, Richard Barlow’s monumental chalk drawings speak to threatened water reserves in the Hudson Valley, Eric Garcia’s acrylic mural captures the devastation of communities caught in the middle of geopolitical resource struggles, and Raul De Lara’s sculptures and photos literalize the inseparability of ecology, immigrant labor, and consumer products at the Texas border. Each floor is transportive and grounding, escapist and inescapable. • wassaicproject.org/exhibitions/no-misery-can-tell-no-word-of-farewell
Chasing Icebergs: Art and a Disappearing Landscape
On view through March 26, 2023 • Olana State Historic Site, Hudson • The first winter exhibition at Olana State Historic Site will be shown primarily in the Sharp Family Gallery at Olana, and highlights Frederic Church’s iceberg sketches from his 1859 intrepid voyage to the Arctic. Risking his life, Church chartered a ship to the treacherous waters surrounding Newfoundland and Labrador — an area known as Iceberg Alley — on a mission that made him the first American artist to explore the region for the purpose of painting icebergs, a landmark event in the history of art. The exhibit includes photographs and historic texts which Church collected about icebergs and Arctic exploration, as well as the work of four contemporary artists who contemplate the wonder and fragility of Earth’s polar environments.For tickets and additional information, visit OLANA.org/icebergs.

The Hudson River School of Art & its Ice Age Origins
Wednesday, January 18, 2023 • 7pm • Virtual, via Zoom, register at Eventbrite • Free and open to all • Join the Cary Institute for a virtual lecture by authors Robert and Johanna Titus exploring how the landscapes captured by Hudson River School artists were first sculpted by ice age processes. The recession of glaciers formed the mountains and valleys of the Catskills and created the landscapes we have come to know through the works of Thomas Cole, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Frederick Church, and others. These artists produced images of grand wilderness that popularized the region and influenced the early environmental movement. Discover the ice age origins of iconic Hudson River School paintings, and gain a new appreciation for the people who framed this picturesque region along with its glacial underpinnings. • This event is free and open to all. Please register via Eventbrite to receive Zoom login info. • Register
