SHABOOM: Presumed Ignorant
On view through January 26, 2025
Cost: Free
Newmark Gallery, Art Omi, Ghent
The first institutional exhibition of the collective SHABOOM – created by artists Silky Shoemaker, Paul Soileau, and Lex Vaughn. The project takes up the golden era of '90s court tv with an installation that will be activated by the most juvenile of antics, as well as billboards and happenings in the wild co-produced by Shandaken Projects. Embracing slapstick, SHABOOM presents scenes that teeter on the edge of disaster and teem with slips, flops, and the cheapest of pleasures. https://artomi.org

Virtual Lecture: Union General Daniel Butterfield
Thursday, January 16, 2025 from 7 to 8pm
Cost of admission: Free
Putnam History Museum, 63 Chestnut Street, Cold Spring
Learn about this Civil War general that called Cold Spring home for many years. Writing in a special issue of New York State and the Civil War, the editor asserted that Daniel Butterfield “was beyond argument the ‘fightingest’ general this state had given to the Civil War,” yet marveled that “the name of Butterfield is not conspicuous in the Civil War literature.” More than a half century later, this dearth of attention remains despite his prominence in that conflict. This presentation will remedy the serious deficiency in coverage by examining his roles as a combat commander in the Peninsula Campaign in Virginia, Second Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and the Atlanta Campaign, how he earned the Medal of Honor, and his crucial role of chief of staff of the Army of the Potomac at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. It will also cover the lasting contributions he made to American military tradition by authoring “Taps,” an important instructional manual adopted by the Union armies and designing the first set of badges to identify the units to which soldiers belonged. The presentation will be accompanied by an abundantly illustrated PowerPoint. https://www.putnamhistorymuseum.org/events/virtual-lecture-union-general-daniel-butterfield/
