SHELTER
Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition at Byrdcliffe’s Historic White Pines
June 5 – October 23, 2022
Organized by Melinda Stickney-Gibson
The exhibition’s premise is the idea of shelter, which has become particularly relevant during the Covid-19 pandemic, but is a basic need not only for humans, but animals, birds, insects, indeed all living organisms, and the endless ingenuity shown in the building of shelter. Several artists have been invited to make site specific temporary structures, while others will exhibit work that reference not only the materials used in building shelter, but also the psychological/emotional facets of shelter. Participating artists include Michael Asbill and Michael Fortenberry, Dan Devine, Erika DeVries, Stuart Farmery, Tristan Fitch, Mimi Graminski, Jared Handelsman, Jan Harrison and Alan Baer, Wendy Klemperer, Ian Laughlin, Alison McNulty, Eileen Power, Hudson Valley Bee Habitat, Julian Rose, Suzy Sureck, and Christina Tenaglia.
SHELTER is on view, dawn to dusk, at Byrdcliffe’s historic White Pines property at 454 Upper Byrdcliffe Road, Woodstock, NY. Exhibition maps and paths to each sculpture maintained to allow for public viewing while minimizing the impact on the natural environment.
