BEYOND THE STREETS:
POST GRAFFITI
ON VIEW MAY 11 - JULY 20
CURATED BY ROGER GASTMAN
The concept of “POST GRAFFITI” encapsulates the genre's journey of rebellious subway artists, originating from 70’s and 80’s NYC, to the global movement they’ve inspired. The term signifies a shift from the illicit nature of traditional graffiti to a more accepted, legitimate art form in gallery settings. As the movement has progressed, artists associated with “POST GRAFFITI” continue to draw from the rich history of graffiti writing and the streets, forming a loose coalition that blurs and elevates their source inspiration through drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation.
“POST GRAFFITI” is at the core of “BEYOND THE STREETS”, representing the embodiment of a larger picture of how far it has all gone and how raw it still remains. Graffiti has become a cultural phenomenon that informs music, fashion, politics, entertainment, marketing, and, of course, contemporary art. It has been on the runways of major fashion houses and memorialized in books and documentaries.

ORGANIC ABSTRACTION: CONTEMPORARY OUTDOOR SCULPTURE
ON VIEW APRIL 25 FOR THE SEASON
CURATED BY CHERYL SOKOLOW
“ORGANIC ABSTRACTION: CONTEMPORARY OUTDOOR SCULPTURE”, explores the materials, processes, and techniques of nine internationally recognized, museum-collected sculptors working within a formalist paradigm. With an emphasis on syntax and form rather than subject matter, the handling of material and the artists’ processes become the subject of the work; each piece is most immediately identified and appreciated by its most basic physical attributes.
