Re- Rejuvenation

Newburgh, NY

curated by Naiyi Wang

Re-juvenation
Through an urban perspective

What’s the role of artists in the urban development?

Artists, have been played an important role in social progress. They keep questioning regimes, devoting creative insights, and push civil society through the Renaissance to the Enlightment to nowadays.

Artists, also as pioneer urban practitioners in cities, have shown their drive in urban renovation. In SoHo Manhattan, artists activated a large number of abandoned historic buildings and turned them into vigorous neighborhoods. The same situation also happened in 798 Art Zone, Beijing: artists gave rebirth to decommissioned military factory buildings through their endeavors and creativities.

But it doesn’t mean art is a silver bullet for deteriorated cities. In fact, there is always developer driven gentrification happening after the art revival, which pushes low-income residents as well as artists from the renewed neighborhood created by themselves to the next derelict land, forming an ironic route of art-immigration. The renovated communities are turned into commercial zones with homogeneous developing modes, losing their local characteristics and falling into the next generation of deterioration in the end.

Is this the only fate for urban-art regeneration?

Art migration is now happening in the City of Newburgh, where the cultural locality is so strong that gentrification is temporarily stifled. Can Newburgh, as a stop on the art migration route have a cultural revival? In this exhibition, we see Newburgh as a promising urban testing ground. Through a series of projects by various artists see the possibilities of urban-art regeneration in Newburgh, and hope to discuss a new mode of local art-driven urban renovation in this city. The project engages an artistic practice which uses as its medium the urban fabric of underresourced districts, bridging the creation of art with adaptive reuse of abandoned spaces and community-driven initiatives for neighborhood revitalization.

Re-juvenation includes performances, sculptures and site-specific installations in non-traditional spaces (vacant, abandoned and underutilized buildings) to revitalize the properties and public spaces, to explore the potential of public spaces for artistic activities, to empower artists and creative individuals to realize their potential as community change agents. Exhibition spaces will range from atriums and lobbies to a small street-level window of vacant buildings, this variety of exhibition spaces pose numerous site-responsive challenges and opportunities for experimentation by our collaborators. Re-juvenation brings together artists, architects, urban planners, community organizers and local residents to investigate, activate and imagine futures for Newburgh.

Re-juvenation will open on April 30th, 2016, will present works by artists moving between New York and Newburgh. Artists will be selected based on their interest in engaging with specific urban contexts of Newburgh. Many of the resulting works will be created in collaboration with urban planners and local residents. The public will be engaged in cultural programs through the assembly of artistic activities, discussions, and workshops.

This project will pave the way to flip the spotlight onto artists’ impact on urban development.

PERSON_PLACE_THING: eleven artists negotiate the real

Group Exhibition at Barnard College

Diana Center, Louise McCagg Gallery (4th Floor)

Three strangers meet in a room to discuss a philosophical question while we watch on a screen from above. Two men meet on the phone and develop an intimacy that surpasses all others. A lone visitor watches dancers move through the empty space in which she stands. These sites, interactions, and relationships exceed the physical yet remain grounded by their tactile references, collaged timeframes, and live reception.

PERSON_PLACE_THING explores the depth, substance, and duration of a metaphysical world. An opening with a series of performances will be held on Wednesday, February 17th from 6-8 pm in the Louise McCagg Gallery, on the 4th floor of the Diana Center at Barnard College. The show will remain on view until March 4th.

_with Lizzy De Vita, Sarah Esser, Bang Geul Han, Lucy Hunter, Laura Knott, Jessi Lin, Amelia Marzec, Debbie Mausner, Ada Potter, Xiaoshi Vivian Vivian Qin, and Eva Schach

EVERYTHING IS INDEX, NOTHING IS HISTORY

Presented by Recession Art and curated by Melanie Kress

at the Invisible Dog Art Center

“Everything is Index is an exhibition about writing and interpreting history, specifically contrasting histories written through language with histories inscribed on the physical world. An ‘index’ may be a footprint, a scar, a photograph – a document pointing to a moment in time. Everything is Index is an exhibition about how we experience the world as an accumulation of physical traces.”
