The MA Curatorial Practice program at the School of Visual Arts is pleased to present Lost and Found: On Translation, curated by Diana Isabel Colón. The exhibition engages with the multiplicity and historicity of language and how it manifests in individual and collective identities. Translation becomes more than a literary practice, evolving into one that involves people and cultures. Translation, however, is imperfect, sometimes forming gaps in understanding. To mend those gaps, empathy can serve as a supplement to the act of translation, transcending language and fostering human relationships.

I’ll be going to Wassaic this winter! So excited to spend time at this residency and work on my current project. Looking forward to meeting the wonderful people who run it and catching up with friends in the city.

The Wassaic Project is an artist-run nonprofit gallery, artist residency, and education center in the hamlet of Wassaic, NY. More than 100 artists-in-residence pass through Wassaic each year. We welcome visual artists, writers, musicians, dancers, filmmakers, writers, and everyone in between. We're also proud to host one of the largest year-round family residencies in the world and an invite-only print editions program.

Notes from Another Place , Christine Devitt Exhibition Hall, LHUCA

October 6th- November, 25th, 2023

Curated by Boryana Rusenova-Ina and Sam van Strien

Notes from Another Place brings together five artists – Choeye Eun Young Cho, Joonhong Min, Hannah Parrett, Boryana Rusenova-Ina and Sam van Strien – to reflect on the politics, aesthetics, and experience of belonging. Whether this is in terms of the natural environment or the built environment, a monumental scale or an intimate space, our sense of self is often constituted in relation to the spaces and places that we occupy in our everyday life. Each of the artists’ works urges the viewers to sit with and reflect on what it feels to be out of place. Rather than highlighting discomfort or unease, this exhibition revels in the endless possibilities of what emerges in the movement and migration from the familiar into the unfamiliar.

Borders and Boundaries Redefined

Juried by Pritika Chowdhry

August 11th-September 30th, Opening Reception September 8th, 5:30-8pm.

The profound work of Pritika Chowdhry inspired The Art Center Highland Park’s adjunct exhibition Borders and Boundaries Redefined. The Art Center Highland Park sought artists exploring how we define space, whether the literal borders in art, or the arbitrary lines delineating physical spaces such as states and countries, or the symbolic boundaries that separate self from others. The selected artwork reflects the openness of stretching beyond the confines and constrictions that often come with ‘staying in the lines’. 

Contributing Artists: Sharon Bachner, Monica Balc, Inseok Choi, Alice Cook, Xiao Faria da Cunha, Frederick Goldstein, Savannah Jubic, Janis Kanter, Cynthia Kerby, Thomas Lail, Joseph Mora, Erica Penuela, Karen Ross, Joan Ruppert, Boryana Rusenova Ina, Sabine Senft, Pearl Shread, Constance Volk, J. Russell Wells, Lisse Williams, Tzuen Wu, Valerie Xanos. 

MIRRORING brings together a group of artists who explore the complex ways that storytelling manifests in our daily lives. Through a variety of material approaches, the works in this exhibition ask questions about how spirituality, shifting histories of landscape, regional object ephemera, and private myth shape the way we move through the world. Accepted narratives on a national and cultural scale are challenged and the nuance of personal epistemologies unfold.

Curated by Hannah Parrett

August 18th-September 9th, Gallery Hours: Saturday 12-3, August 19th-September 2nd
