Opening: Saturday, October 2, 6 - 8 pm

Gallery Hours: Monday - Sunday, 1 - 6 pm

For six weeks, beginning October 2nd at Roos Arts in Rosendale, twenty one artists will be exploring new ways of working and engaging in dialogue with one another, with exhibition visitors, and with the town beyond, in the latest incarnation of the Habitats for Artists (HFA) project.  In the Rosendale installation, a 6 x 6 foot shed will be erected inside the gallery space, and work generated in it will progressively populate the walls as the exhibition continues. The connecting thread of this installation, YOU ARE HERE, alludes to the ephemeral, but distinctive feeling of place mediated by individuals coming together to work toward a common goal, or in a common location, or to decide what their goals might in fact be.

The finished work is both a rhetoric and representation of itself, both commentary and living reflection of Painting and its surrounding audience. More...
