Taliesin Thomas describes Michelle Segre's commissioned installation as "electrifying in its disorderly beauty.....both a feat of creative engineering and an innovative embodiment of quasi-scientific structures."
“One of Baker’s largest contributions to Socrates was her dedication to what is now known as the Socrates Annual fellowship and is arguably the park’s signature program.”

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.
The John Giorno Foundation hosts Rochelle Feinstein in conversation with Bridget Donahue and Candice Madey, exploring Feinstein’s interest in language, the development of her diverse non-style, and the importance of concepts like irony, authorship, and cultural production.
RVAC will participate in this year’s iteration of UPSTATE ART WEEKEND by giving Sunday tours of the exhibitions we currently have on view at the Al Held Foundation. Special accommodations will be made to include parties on the waitlist.
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.
Over 25 artisans from the Hudson Valley region and beyond participated in an open-air marketplace on the bucolic rolling meadows at John Jay Homestead.
RVAC is excited to be a part of the AAMC Foundation Salon ROS: On the Mind of the Curator: Supporting Sustainable Art Practice. We hope you will jin us for this forward-thinking conversation!
