ALSO
ONGOING
Greene County-based transmission artist Julia Weist, who teaches at Bard, is included in the group show “The Arrested Image: Identity Through the Lens of Law Enforcement,” curated by Sophie Landres, that opened June 21 and is up through Nov. 2 in the Dorsky Museum’s Chandler and North Galleries in New Paltz.
This past weekend, Weist’s work also opened in another show, in California. Weist writes, “From 2020-2021, I invited each of my elected officials for a studio visit and many accepted. I photographed those who came including a Superintendent of Highways, County Judge, Town Clerk and even New York’s current Lieutenant Governor (then a Congressman)…. ‘Lobbying: Studio Visits with My Elected Officials.’ I now think of these works as documentation not of the interaction but of a methodology that involves being a hyper engaged citizen stuffing art into the open windows of civic systems. So the “Slow School” show at @moskowitzbayse for the gallery’s 10th anniversary includes Weist’s photos of Joseph Stanzione (District Attorney), Charles M. Tailleur (County Judge), Shawn Marriott (Town Supervisor), Janet Partridge (Town Clerk), Joseph van Holsteyn (Highway Superintendent), and Patricia Handel (County Legislator, above). “Slow School” is up from Aug. 16.
Last Sunday of the Month
Hudson Valley residents receive free admission to Dia Beacon on the last Sunday of each month. That’s for residents of Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Sullivan, Ulster, Washington, and Westchester counties.
Tuesdays, 4-5:30 p.m.
“We'll stand on an overpass over Route 91, on Chestnut St in Hatfield [MA], with flags, signs, and messages in BIG letters. We engage drivers by waving, get friendly honks (and the occasional middle finger) from cars, and we educate people and let them know the resistance is alive! Each week we decide on a new message for the following week. It's helpful to sign up, in case we have to cancel for rain, or if we decide we want to switch days or locations to evade counterprotesters. NOTE that we have moved, for now, from Mountain Drive, because of construction there.”
