Split and Becloud
The 2022 Artists of the Mohawk Hudson regional juried show
From the twenty-four artists selected for this exhibition, two motifs emerge. One is characterized by partition, the other by conglomeration. Although these motifs seem to move in opposite directions, they are two sides of the same coin. Through division or overlap, each motif renders compositions at odds with gestalt principles. By disorienting or clogging the field of vision, they deliver images that are discontinuous or designed to overwhelm. Split and Becloud is thus a zeitgeist show. It asserts two prevalent and complimentary ways of seeing the state of things: broken and brought together in a confounding new form.

XYZ: Alphabetical Ruptures and Reformations
with work by Tauba Auerbach, Dexter Sinister, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, and Caroline Kent
This exhibition considers how letters signify when estranged from literal signification. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, and experimental typography, the artists in XYZ approach alphabets as unstable systems rife with ambiguity, which nonetheless organize our consciousness. In aggregate, they demonstrate the paradoxically restrictive yet infinitely generative form and function of alphabets.
RVAC is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2021–2022 Money and Materials grant program are Shanti Grumbine, Pat McCarthy, and Padma Rajendran.

Alyson Baker and Candice Madey were invited to curate the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art’s annual summer Hudson Valley artists’ invitational exhibition. The title of the exhibition, Madness in Vegetables, cites the playful title of a poem by Francis Jammes, a French writer born in 1868 who is best known for his turn from the fashionable 19th c. Symbolist movement, instead drawing inspiration from the natural world and a rustic life far from the decadent center of Parisian literary circles.
