A GNAWING THOUGHT December 6, 2025 – January 17, 2026 at UTOPIA in Kingston, NY
Curated by Mandolyn Wilson Rosen
Artists:
Natalie Beall / Todd Bourret / Kerry Downey / Georgia Elrod / Rachel Jackson / Jenny Kemp / Elisa Lendvay / Cotter Luppi / Rita MacDonald / Adrian Meraz / Valerie Piraino / Padma Rajendran / Mandolyn Wilson Rosen / Michelle Rosenberg / Adie Russell / Nancy Shaver / Amy Talluto / Christina Tenaglia

A GNAWING THOUGHT is a group exhibition which examines “near-symmetry” as a site of rebellion. The artists represented here have a love-hate relationship with visual symmetry and all the many implications it may hold, from the biological, the theatrical and the spiritual to the Classical and the authoritarian. The exhibition brings together works by 18 New York-based artists, most of whom reside in the Hudson Valley. Included works lean toward, flirt with and resist the coercive pull of symmetrical binaries and resolve instead into something close but not quite — retaining a kernel of imbalance, tension or mutation which gives them life.

In December, we brought back GLÖGG GLÖGG , a pop-up art fair of small works in crates (record-store style), with even more artists! It was so much fun, and we even got a write up in Two Coats of Paint !

The Akin Free Library is a historic atheneum and meeting place located in Pawling, NY, which houses many artifacts from the famed residents of Quaker Hill as well as a cabinet-of-curiosities-style collection of natural-history objects and artifacts.

This time on "Pep Talks for Artists", host Amy Talluto and I discuss the film “Lifeline: Clyfford Still” (2019) directed by Dennis Scholl. It's a deeply felt portrait of the turbulent life of this painter's painter! You can listen to the podcast here.

In October, I had the privilege of attending a one-week residency as a Juried Fellow at the Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts in Ithaca, NY with four other artist-parents. I was thrilled to be back in my beloved Ithaca for the first time in over 20 years. Thank you, Leslie, Mandy and Rose for the amazing hospitality!

Summer Invitational IV: Collage/Assemblage at White Rock Center for Sculptural Arts in Holmes, NY
August 6-7, 2022
Artists:
Natalie Beall, Vernon Byron, Melissa Dadourian, Jesse Gelaznik, Daniel Giordano,Gracelee Lawrence, Jennifer Macdonald, Rebecca McGee Tuck, Andrea McGinty, Gelah Penn, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, Amy Talluto

This year, White Rock Center for Arts’ thematic Summer Invitational IV: Collage/Assemblage, invites artists to mount a temporary outdoor art installation that considers collage (associated with two-dimensional art forms) or assemblage (associated with three-dimensional art forms) in our contemporary moment. The impulse to collect and repurpose, to create new meanings from disparate elements is an infinitely renewable and inventive process that each artist in this exhibition explores in different and expansive ways. Traditionally, collage/assemblage involves a process of joining various materials from the ordinary and the commonplace. Although present in material culture across the globe since ancient times, in the early 20th century, combining fragments of found material into an artform was radical to the western art canon.

Diane Waldman writes:

“Throughout this [20th] century, collage has come to symbolize a revolution in the nature of making art. Collage has often emphasized concept over end product; it has steered the meaning of process; it has brought the incongruous into meaningful congress with the ordinary and given the uneventful, the commonplace, the ordinary a magic of its own”.

My solo show, HEAVY ROTATION, will be up at Saugerties Public Library all January and February 2022! I love our library and am thrilled to share my work with our wonderful Saugerties community! You can see and listen to my artist talk about the works in this show with interviewer and fellow artist Amy Talluto here!!!

JUROR: Julie Torres, Co-Director LABSpace

The materials used to make art have evolved throughout history. Over the course of the last century, the traditional forms of painting, printmaking, and sculpture have gone through transformation after transformation and new media have proliferated. Simultaneously, the everyday material world of experience has been transformed by technology. This exhibition examines how art practice and artists’ points of view have been altered in relation to these material metamorphoses.
