SUMMARY:Beyond the Surface:  Constructing DestructionGroup Show
DESCRIPTION:Click to enlarge \nShow Dates: January 5 – January 25\, 2024 \nWestbeth Gallery is pleased to launch its 2024 season with “Beyond the Surface: Constructing Destruction.” Curated by Vida Geranmayeh and Daniel G. Hill\, this exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists who challenge and expand the boundaries of painting\, drawing\, and sculpture. \nFeaturing Artists:\nGail Biederman\, Lily de Bont\, Daniel G. Hill\, Kathleen Kucka\, Steven Millar\, Gelah Penn\, David Rhodes\, Mary Schiliro\, Howard Schwartzberg\, Jan Maarten Voskuil \n“Beyond the Surface: Constructing Destruction” navigates the nuanced space between creation and disruption\, with a focus on transformative techniques and the integral role of materials in the creative process. The exhibition re-contextualizes the traditional mediums of painting and sculpture\, as each artist explores the dynamic interplay of contrasting transformations. In an era marked by global challenges\, the exhibition positions art as a platform for dialogue and positive change. It confronts self-censorship\, extends the reach of artistic expression\, and encourages viewers to investigate uncharted territories. By reexamining the familiar\, these artists discover new paths within established genres\, inspiring viewers to question and reconsider prevailing artistic notions. The exhibition underscores the importance of mastery of craft in achieving innovation\, often leading to an expansion of artistic boundaries. \nGail Biederman utilizes felt and yarn\, creating psychogeographic maps in her large-scale installations and intimate works on paper\, drawing upon experience and memory. \nLily de Bont radically reimagines the painter’s linen\, deconstructing the canvas into loose threads\, leading to complex compositions where gravity plays a pivotal role. \nDaniel G. Hill explores the physical and metaphorical roles of gravity in art\, creating self-reflexive pieces that provoke wonder and contemplation. \nKathleen Kucka uses burning as a transformative technique\, exploring rebirth and destruction through a personal language of forms and patterns. \nSteven Millar draws inspiration from diverse allusions\, from atmospheric phenomena like rainbows to symbolic objects such as memorial stones. Merging the handmade\, fabricated\, and found\, his pieces cultivate unique forms of expression. \nGelah Penn’s site-responsive installations and wall constructions blur the lines between drawing and sculpture\, orchestrating events of perceptual incident and psychological unease. \nDavid Rhodes’s paintings feature material brevity\, elemental facture and compelling visuality. He uses only black paint on canvas. The complex figure ground configurations and rhythmic pattern are typical.  \nMary Schiliro experiments with acrylic paint and Mylar\, exploring the tangible versus the ephemeral as metaphors for the human condition. Her work expands the boundaries of painting and presents new possibilities for presentation. \nHoward Schwartzberg uniquely employs paint and canvas to craft shapes\, pushing beyond traditional painting boundaries and exploring the canvas’s multidimensional roles in artistic expression. \nJan Maarten Voskuil stretches painting into the third dimension\, cutting and reconstructing canvases into modular forms that blur the lines between painting\, sculpture\, design\, and architecture. \nContact: Vida Geranmayeh (917) 838-1774 vida@gallerygeranmayeh.com \nGallery hours: Wednesday through Sunday\, 12pm–6pm and by appointment \nClosing Event/Artist Reception: Thursday\, January 25\, 2024\, 5-7pm \nWestbeth Gallery\, 55 Bethune Street\, New York\, NY 10014 www.westbeth.org

SUMMARY:DADS: A Group Exhibition of Artists Who Are Also Fathers
DESCRIPTION:Westbeth Gallery\n55 Bethune St\, New York\, NY \nShow Dates: Oct 6 – Oct 29\, 2023 \nGallery hours: Wednesday – Sunday 1-6pm and by appointment. \nWestbeth Gallery is pleased to present Dads\, a group exhibition of artists who are also fathers\, on view at its’ Richard Meier designed courtyard location\, 55 Bethune Street in the West Village of New York. The show is curated by artist James Gortner. \nRarely in the contemporary art conversation is family and fatherhood considered a defining characteristic of an artist’s life\, motivation\, and/or artistic practice\, and it is dismissed as a barrier to the full realization one’s artistic potential. The featured artists have many differences – different stages in their careers\, diverse backgrounds and work across many mediums – but they are all dads who make art. It is the point of this exhibition to highlight a unique kind of familial artist identity\, and activate your feelings about each work knowing this identity is present. \nThe Dads exhibition will survey artworks by the following 36 artists: \n\nGregory Amenoff\nAnthony Boone\nGerald Cannon\nStanley Casselman\nJean Clanche\nGrayson Cox\nMark Dion\nBrock Enright\nDomenic Esposito\nJames Gortner\nMichael Guillard\nStephen Hall\n \n\nAdam Handler\nMarc Handelman\nBradley Hart\nHans Haveron\nJon Kessler\nGene Kiegel\nRick Klauber\nReiner Leist\nHenry Leutwyler\nRob MacInnis\nMatt Mullican\nAntonio Murado \n\n\nJeff Muhs\nYigal Ozari\nNick Paparone\nMourrice Papi\nFahamu Pecou\nRobert Roest\nMeir Srebriansky\nJacob Taylor\nFrancisco Vidal\nTomas Vu\nJohan Wahlstrom\nMark Zimmerman \n\n\n\nFor all appointments and press inquiries\, contact\nJames Gortner +1 310 463 9778 JamesGortner.art@gmail.com \nDADS OPENING RECEPTION Oct 13\, 2023

SUMMARY:Ken Wade: Selected Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:September 7th – 28th\, 2023\nGallery hours: Wedn-Sunday 1-6PM \nOPENING\, Thursday\, September 7 2023\, 6-8 pm. \nWestbeth Gallery\n155 Bank Street\nEnter through courtyad\nNew York\, NY 10014 \nKen Wade moved into WestBeth Artist Housing on January 1\, 1970 where the artist has lived and worked for 53 years. This September\, Wade will be opening a one-person Selective Retrospective with drawings\, paintings\, and sculptures dating from 1964 to the present.  \n“I began making art in the early 1960s while living on the Island state of Tasmania; 125 miles off the SE coast of Australia. Four years later\, back in the USA\, my first American exhibition (1968) was at the Corcoran Museum\, Washington DC; I exhibited a series of large Zig-Zag paintings.\nThe images to follow represent selected work from early 60s (Tasmania/Melbourne)\, work done in Washington (67-69)\, ultimately concluding with NYC during the 70s-80s up to the present.\nOn New Years’ day 1970\, my family and I moved from Washington\, DC into the WestBeth Artist Housing. With us\, a huge crate\, that had followed us from Melbourne\, to London\, to Washington DC to New York City. The crate was packed solid with paintings and drawings that I had done in Australia\, and weighed nearly 1500 lbs . We gratefully accepted management’s offer of storage space in the basement facing the Westside Highway.\nLong story short—there was a flood.\n‘BIRD IN THE BUSH’ #9 was one of many dozens of BIRD’s & NUDE’s in the BUSH I painted during my 2 years in Tasmania. BIRD# 9 is the only painting from the crate that survived Westbeth’s first flood. ” \nMore about Ken Wade and his work at Westbeth Artist Page: Ken Wade

SUMMARY:Unnatural Processes Group Exhibition Closing Party
DESCRIPTION:Closing Party Thursday July 27 6p – 8p\nOpening Reception: Friday\, June 30\, 2023 6pm – 8pm\nOn View: June 30–July 28\, 2023\nHours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 1–6pm \nWestbeth Gallery\, 57 Bethune Street\, New York\, NY 10014 \n“Throwing light onto the unnatural\, reflecting on and exploring new connections with non-human systems.” \nWestbeth Gallery is pleased to present a group show curated by Valérie Hallier. Unnatural Processes is an exhibition that asks the questions: What is “Nature”? What is “Natural”? \nArtists:: Aston Philip\, Christina Massey\, Jean Foos\, Katherine Bennett\, Linda Loh\, Roxane Revon\, Tessa Grundon and Valérie Haller.  \nNature is an all encompassing entity that exists without humans. Yet\, it is impossible to think of humanity as an entity that could exist without nature. Seeing humanity and all its actions as part of nature is more reasonable. French anthropologist\, Philippe Descola\, observes 4 ways of “being” in the world as humans: animism\, totemism\, analogism and naturalism. If we agree that our thought processes are firmly welded into Western philosophy\, prizing the rational\, scientific\, and logical\, we can then agree that we embody naturalism. Yet as artists we are open to other ways of being\, thinking\, and seeing. The work of the eight international artists featured in this show revisits our contemporary relationship with the non-human. A great variety of mediums and processes are all centered around new ways to visualize and interact with our environment: virtual\, real\, or re-created. \nLinda Loh’s virtual world reveals fleeting spaces beyond everyday experiences. Roxane Revon maps out the underground ecosystem of specific locations. Similarly\, Tessa Grundon’s work is rooted in “places”\, reflecting on our current Anthropocene. Aston Philip creates an ecosystem of the painters tools and materials with each part incorporated and recycled. Jean Foos\, Valérie Hallier and Christina Massey’s mixed media sculptures each bring new life to discarded objects\, eloquently commenting on consumerism and climate change. Foos\, Hallier and Massey also give a nod to Surrealism as they fabricate pieces with unexpected\, “unnatural” combinations. Katherine Bennett’s interactive installation is inspired by hidden networks drawing upon marine organisms and communication networks. \nAbout the Artists\n_____________________________________________________________________________ \nAston Philip is a painter who has expanded his practice into a process based ecosystem. This includes collaging\, weaving and sculpting cured paint-skins and chips and incorporating the tools of painting back into his works. Aston’s fascination with the interconnected systems and relationships in the natural world direct his own purview of painting. \nJean Foos paints patterns on found objects. Stacking shapes to make a totem or arranging branches into a colorful standing bundle\, she gives them a new power and dimension. The title of Foos’ tower\, Convulsive Beauty in the Fur Teacup Bar\, evokes Méret Oppenheim’s surrealist objects and her thinking about the concrete realization of irrationality. “I respond to shapes\, natural (fallen tree branches) and unnatural (manufactured packaging material). I am not a sculptor\, per se\, my forms are available ready-made.” \nValérie Hallier improvises with collected pressed flower petals of many colors and shapes to create abstract collages that reflect her inner workings. Inspired by Surrealist automatism\, the artist tries to suppress conscious control over the visual result. This process expresses the longing for a communion with the world around her. \n–Hallier’s work follows an integrative continuum that utilizes technology\nas tool and object\, generating an exquisite tension between the humanistic\nand mechanistic sense of Being.” —Judith Escalona  \nChristina Massey’s mixed media sculptures are created with blown glass\, repurposed aluminum sourced from craft beer cans\, and other found materials such as wire\, copper and plastics. The sculptures appear organic\, like surreal alien plant forms. These bulbs act as crystal balls in a sense\, a commentary on the predictive nature of trying to measure and adapt to Climate Change. \nKatherine Bennett’s interactive installation\, Luciferins\, is about making network traffic perceptible\, and by extension\, our awareness of the ubiquitous digital infrastructure that surrounds\, connects\, and ultimately tracks us. Viewers walk through large felted structures\, awakening graphical portals depicting invisible network traffic of popular websites\, sound from other locations\, and\nairwave activity. \n“One’s physicality makes the work come to life—just as a swimmer makes bioluminescent marine organisms illuminate\, generating luciferins (a light-emitting compound). Suddenly\, one can see the invisible activity that surrounds them.”\n—Katherine Bennett  \nRoxane Revon is a multidisciplinary artist and scenographer examining the inner workings of “nature” and intrigued by the symbiotic relationships between humans and vegetal beings. She makes her viewers question their relationship to the earth and the various forms of life that grow in and out of it. Revon zooms in on the invisible\, making us take a deeper look at our own origins and foundations. She brings us to a place of restored fertility and rebirth\, allowing for new ways of grounding and reviving visions of the self. \nLinda Loh navigates the elusive form and materiality of digital space with transformed sources of light. Motivated by curiosity\, she thinks digital media is as slippery as the nature of mind; her abstract composites leave little obvious for the rational mind to grasp. Her work for this exhibition is a luminous\, color-saturated\, non-ordinary ‘world’\, revealing fleeting spaces beyond everyday experience. \nTessa Grundon uses material from nature as well as man-made elements. Her work is deeply rooted to the history of a place\, as she considers the geological age with human activity being the dominant influence on the landscape and climate. Our environment is ever-changing: the rising and increasingly polluted tides; man’s effect on community and landscape; and man’s shared visual language of natural forms. All of these come together is Grundon’s work as she explores contemporary environmental issues. \nARTIST BIOS\n_______________________________________________________________________________ \nKatherine Bennett is a new media\, fiber\, and installation artist\, who builds interactive systems exploring our emerging futures of the digital experience. She codes and incorporates sensors\, electronics\, fibers and computer vision to create her pieces. She is fascinated by the liminal spaces created by digital communities and the cultural changes that result. She is a NYSCA recipient and has been awarded many grants\, including Harvestworks. She has exhibited at Inst-Int\, ISEA\, Maryland Art Place\, ZKM\, Indianapolis Art Center and The University of the Arts. She runs LadyK Studios in Brooklyn.\nhttps://www.katherinebennett.net/ @ladykstudios/ \nJean Foos paints found objects with rich colors and patterned surfaces. For her site-specific installations Foos favors ad hoc urban settings\, such as long-abandoned buildings and community gardens. Her sculptures have been exhibited at Local Project Art Space LIC\, Hal Bromm Gallery\, Empirical Nonsense Gallery\, York College (CUNY)\, King Manor Museum\, Susquehanna Art Museum\, La Mama Galleria\, Governors Island (4heads AIR)\, and Le Petit Versailles Garden.\nhttps://jeanfoos.com/ @foosnyc \nTessa Grundon is a British artist working on both sides of the Atlantic. Her work is rooted in “place” using elements of the landscape to explore environmental issues. In recent years she has been based on Governors Island in NYC Harbor working with arts and science organizations including SWALE\, Urban Soil Institute\, NYU Gallatin’s “Wetlab”\, Works on Water\, Underwater New York and the Virtual Volcano Observatory focusing on engagement with the environment and education. She works with Artist Space as a teaching artist on the Lower East Side and past residencies and partnerships include Brooklyn Navy Yard\, Art.Earth\, I-Park Foundation\, Wave Hill\, PLACE Collective and Sail Britain.\nwww.tessagrundon.com @tessa.grundon \nBorn in France\, Valérie Hallier came to NYC with a Fulbright Scholarship and graduated from the SVA in Computer Arts. Early multimedia work received prizes at ACM Siggraph\, SCAN Arts Symposium\, Ars Electronica and Anima Mundi. Using a wide swath of mediums\, Hallier redefines the art of portraiture and self-portraiture in the forms of immersive installations\, interactive public art and two-dimensional renderings. Hallier is the recipient of grants from Contemporary Art Foundation\, NYSCA\, and Wave Farm. Her work has been shown internationally. Residencies include Pioneer Works\, NARS Foundation\, Trestle ArtSpace\, Harvestworks\, LMCC Arts Center and 4Heads Portal in NYC.\nwww.valeriehallier.com @multiplemedia_artist \nLinda Loh Linda Loh is an Australian visual artist whose multimedia works navigate digital space with transformed sources of light.

SUMMARY:Isa Ho:  Resonance - Westbeth Project
DESCRIPTION:May 5 – 26\, 2023\nOpening Reception: May 5\, 2023\, 6-9pm\nTalk: May 11\, 2023\, 6-7pm by Christopher Phillips \nGallery Hours: Wednesday-Sunday\, 1-6pm \nWestbeth Gallery\n55 Bethune Street\nNew York\, NY 10014 \nIn 2013\, I received a New York Fellowship from the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) and headed to New York to take up my residency. I lived in Apartment 355G of the Westbeth social housing complex\, a celebrated artists’ community. The Westbeth building has 384 rooms\, one of which is owned by the ACC headquarters in New York. \nWestbeth was established in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts and the J.M. Kaplan Fund\, who transformed the 13 buildings of Bell Labs into a model artists’ residence. Since 1970\, Westbeth has provided art workers with spaces at preferential rates where they can apply to live and set up studios for life.That has made it a home for actors\, writers\, directors\, painters\, dancers\, musicians\, and other types of art workers\, who have a profound impact on New York’s cultural life. Residents have included photographer Diane Arbus\, stage actor David Greenspan\, dancer Merce Cunningham\, video art pioneer Nam June Paik\, and Robert De Niro Sr.; movie star Vin Diesel spent his childhood there. \nTom Duncan. Photo: Isa Ho \nAt the end of October 2012\, Hurricane Sandy swept across the eastern United States\, causing heavy losses\, and in January 2013\, I arrived at Westbeth\, which was then still recovering from the disaster. The artists there had lost none of their passion for life\, despite the serious damage and disruption the storm had brought to their lives. \n Westbeth Project\, as a creative project\, is an examination of life. Living in this time of rapid change can make us all feel uneasy\, excited\, and curious about the outside world. As we face a future full of uncertainty\, I explore in this Westbeth Project the possibility of a different way of looking at things. \nKaren Santry Photo:Isa Ho \nWestbeth demonstrates the importance of long-term policy planning in several ways. First\, Westbeth’s development process began in 1967 and took several years\, requiring sustained planning and policy support to achieve. As the first federally-funded artist housing project and the first cultural institution and architectural landmark recognized by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission\, Westbeth has a significant historical impact. Second\, Westbeth has become a cultural center and vital resource for artists and the LGBTQ community in New York City and beyond. Providing artist housing and creative spaces for the community\, as well as serving as a venue for art exhibitions and performances\, Westbeth’s impact extends beyond individuals and local areas\, having profound effects on the community and cultural ecology. Finally\, to maintain its long-term sustainability and development\, Westbeth requires its own long-term planning and management\, as well as policy support\, such as federal funding and landmark preservation. \nis a microcosm of the city\, representing the amount of effort and accumulation needed to make New York City what it is today. Its charm and allure make it a destination for many. Overall\, Westbeth serves as a successful example of how long-term planning and sustained policy support can promote community and cultural development. \nThis exhibition embodies my memories\, which I share with the artists. I captured the essence of these beautiful and powerful people in my own way. The exhibition showcases a selection of works from 2013 to the present\, including photography\, videos\, and documentaries\, as well as a new NFT installation created in collaboration with artist Chen\, Zhao-Hua. Additionally\, the exhibition features portraits of the artists displayed alongside their work at the Westbeth artist housing. \n After the three long years of the pandemic\, being able to return to the Westbeth exhibition and meet the artists was a deeply emotional experience\, with many artists having passed away. The sadness and longing had been reflected upon for a long time. Perhaps I will never see many of them again\, but their works and stories continue to be passed down\, still influencing the world. This may be the value of life and art.

SUMMARY:Luminous Elsewheres
DESCRIPTION:Luminous Elsewheres features the work of artists who have honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality. These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing\, feeling and perceiving. Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself\, the works included in this exhibit bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.”  Organized by Karen Fitzgerald\, Deborah Barlow and Alison Cuomo.

SUMMARY:Joan Hall: Themes and Dreams Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:THEMES AND DREAMS\nJoan Hall Retrospective at Westbeth Gallery\n55 Bethune Street\nNew York\, NY \nMarch 4-24\, 2023\nOpening Reception – Saturday\, March 4\, 6-8 pm \nThemes and Dreams\, a retrospective of collage and assemblage illustration by New York-based artist Joan Hall\, will be on view at the Westbeth Gallery from March 4-24\, 2023. Self-curated with input from independent curator Lilly Wei\, the exhibition will feature seven distinct bodies of work and that explore modernist strategies of fragmentation and re-composition. Produced over a 50-year career\, the 100 pieces in the exhibition will be exhibited together for the first time charting the depth and breadth of Hall’s varied interests and talent. \nSince 1970\, Joan Hall has been using collage and assemblage to explore different cultures\, times and places. She creates imaginary spaces and newly arranged realities that have dreamlike qualities infused with humor and irony. Her assemblages tell stories by giving found objects new meanings resulting from unexpected juxtapositions and placements. \nExhibition Highlights \nPARROQUIN DREAMS – Collages inspired by the magic and fantasy of the Parroquia\, a grand neo-gothic church in San Miguel de Allende\, Mexico\, known for its soaring pink spires and lofty ornate sanctuary. \nMEXICO MI AMOR – Collages featuring various landmarks in Mexico. \nTHE PARIS PROJECT – Assemblages inspired by drawings of everyday objects by a young French art student found by Hall in a Paris flea market. After finding the six original drawings\, Hall set out to find the actual objects in the drawings to combine them and related objects in assemblages. Hall made the additional drawings to expand the series.\nICONS – Found object assemblages that combine natural and man-made objects creating archetypal figures. \nSTRINGS ATTACHED – A play on traditional needlepoint with edgy subject matter made with embroidery hoops\, thread and burlap printed with photographic images.\nBOXED DREAMS – Surrealistic fantasies made with found objects in wooden boxes. \nTHE PARCEL PROJECT –  Mixed media parcels ostensibly sent to Hall from all over the world. Each parcel has an image of a landmark from where it was sent. \nJILL’S ROOM – A mixed media\, interactive art piece composed of three boxes – Room 1\, 2\, and 3. The viewer looks through an opening in the box and sees a furnished room. Using mirrors\, the room appears to change\, creating illusion of infinite space. The viewer is reflected inside the room.

The artists in the show examine and diagnose the physical\, mental\, and social symptoms of our disordered world\, exploring concepts of building\, accumulating\, amassing\, and the resulting spasms\, bursts\, explosions\, and attacks. \n\nMarch 1 – March 26\nJOAN HALL: A 50 YEAR RETROSPECTIVE SOLO SHOW (Westbeth)\n\nJoan Hall’s retrospective presents different groups of work in the mediums of collage and assemblage. Each room in the gallery is devoted to a series of work created at different stages of the artist’s life: Icons (figurative assemblages)\, collage\, room and parcels (assemblages utilizing mirrors so the viewer sees themselves as if inside)\, string attached (a contemporary spin on old fashioned embroidery)\, the Paris project (conceptual mixed-media assemblages) and box constructions (Surrealistic found-object assemblages). \n\nMarch 29 – April 30\nLUMINOUS ELSEWHERES (outside Westbeth)\n\nLuminous Elsewheres features the work of artists who have honed a vision of a personal ‘elsewhere’ that embodies its own radiant dimensionality. These visual explorations open up new ways of seeing\, feeling and perceiving. Sourced primarily through intuition and the process of art making itself\, the works included in this exhibit bring viewers closer to what Susan Sontag described as “the luminousness of the thing in itself.” Organized by Karen Fitzgerald\, Denise Manteau and Alison Cuomo. \n\nMay 3 – May 28\nISA HO: RESONANCE – WESTBETH PROJECT (outside Westbeth)\n\nThis exhibition embodies my memories\, which I share with the artists.

Additionally\, the exhibition features portraits of the artists displayed alongside their work at the Westbeth artist housing. Through close contact for a long period of time\, Isa Ho interviewed the tenants and used photography to explore the possibilities of life in different circumstances. 3D installations in the exhibition\, using video and photography\, reproduce the adaptations that the artists had made to their living space as their bodies aged. \n\nMay 31 – June 25\nRUTGERS UNIVERSITY GROUP SHOW: PLAYBACK (outside Westbeth)\n\nPlayback\, a group exhibition at Westbeth Gallery\, links the interplay among biography\, narrative\,and experience across a disparate set of artistic practices developed by Rutgers University visual\nart MFA graduates.

SUMMARY:PRINT PAINT: The interaction of printmaking and painting by 12 Westbeth artists
DESCRIPTION:October 8 – November 12\, 2022\nOpening Reception Saturday Oct 8. 5pm – 8pm \nWalking Tour Artist Talk October 22\, 2022 3pm – 5pm\nPRINT/PAINT is an exhibition of twelve multidisciplinary and long-term Westbeth residents initially intended to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Westbeth Graphics Studio in 2020. After a two-year postponement due to the COVID pandemic\, the show opens with a new concept in Westbeth Gallery\, honoring the Graphics Studio and highlighting possibilities of printmaking by placing it in direct conversation with painting.  \nBeyond these twelve artists\, within Westbeth\, there is an array of communities and sub-communities dedicated to a continued and specific practice. PRINT/PAINT is ultimately a celebration of the versatility of artists’ practices that thrive in the creative oasis where lifelong experimentation is encouraged and expected. Residency in Westbeth has offered these artists a platform to share their expressions in print and painting form with freedom and support. PRINT/PAINT is an example of what can be when access\, funding\, and support collide with an unfettered creative process.  \n– from Introductory Essay by Izzy Nova \nParticipating Artists\nJuanita McNeely (b.1936\, St. Louis\, MO) moved to New York in 1967 and became entrenched in the city’s artistic community and feminist collectives. Her depiction of the human figure displays extreme physicality—pairing angst and pain in close tandem with a sheer pleasure of existence in body and mind. With the challenges of patriarchal discourse and illness from an early age\, McNeely’s art is a lifeline that transforms notions of who may and may not handle certain imagery.

Continuing our collaborative ethos\, the exhibition will include work by contemporary artists as well as former Westbeth residents\, and will feature a presentation curated by Beirut-based design platform House of Today. \nFounded in 1970 to provide affordable housing and studios for artists and their families\, Westbeth is a\nuniquely New York landmark. Pivotal figures in the downtown scene—including Diane Arbus\, Hans Haacke\, and Nam June Paik\, among many others—have called Westbeth home\, and it holds a legendary status in the city. Our presentation\, located in the Westbeth Gallery off the iconic Richard Meier-designed courtyard\, comprises four rooms\, each with a different visual and thematic through line. \nBungalow is a roving curatorial platform\, founded in 2021 by Saria Sakka\, Quinn Schoen\, and Abigail Tisch. We bring together artists working across a range of creative modes\, encouraging new and unexpected dialogues between their practices. \nbungalow.earth / @bungalow_earth
