FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10
3/5-28

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10 (French for “Salon of the Refused’). This exhibition provokes and enchants viewers with unexpected discoveries of experimental and innovative artworks. While some of these artists have been overlooked by the curators of some recent large group exhibitions, one finds that the work in this show captures the adventurous spirit of risk-taking, international artists who are moving art forward out of sheer survival.

The variety of experimental art, materials, and styles in FICTIONS is organized to open dialogue, posit new ideas and expand cultural horizons. The artists selected to exhibit dare to develop new language in all media that doesn’t fit into neat categories and boundaries—simply put, their work breaks rules. The distinguishing element running through all the work in this show is that fiction is more real than fact--analogous to contemporary life. The 8,000 square foot, 19th Century Dye Works Gallery at GAGA Arts Center is a dramatic environment for this artists’ salon.

Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8 p.m., Saturdays 2-6 p.m. and Sundays 12-4 p.m. Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10
3/5-28

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10 (French for “Salon of the Refused’). This exhibition provokes and enchants viewers with unexpected discoveries of experimental and innovative artworks. While some of these artists have been overlooked by the curators of some recent large group exhibitions, one finds that the work in this show captures the adventurous spirit of risk-taking, international artists who are moving art forward out of sheer survival.

The variety of experimental art, materials, and styles in FICTIONS is organized to open dialogue, posit new ideas and expand cultural horizons. The artists selected to exhibit dare to develop new language in all media that doesn’t fit into neat categories and boundaries—simply put, their work breaks rules. The distinguishing element running through all the work in this show is that fiction is more real than fact--analogous to contemporary life. The 8,000 square foot, 19th Century Dye Works Gallery at GAGA Arts Center is a dramatic environment for this artists’ salon.

Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8 p.m., Saturdays 2-6 p.m. and Sundays 12-4 p.m. Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10
3/5-28

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10 (French for “Salon of the Refused’). This exhibition provokes and enchants viewers with unexpected discoveries of experimental and innovative artworks. While some of these artists have been overlooked by the curators of some recent large group exhibitions, one finds that the work in this show captures the adventurous spirit of risk-taking, international artists who are moving art forward out of sheer survival.

The variety of experimental art, materials, and styles in FICTIONS is organized to open dialogue, posit new ideas and expand cultural horizons. The artists selected to exhibit dare to develop new language in all media that doesn’t fit into neat categories and boundaries—simply put, their work breaks rules. The distinguishing element running through all the work in this show is that fiction is more real than fact--analogous to contemporary life. The 8,000 square foot, 19th Century Dye Works Gallery at GAGA Arts Center is a dramatic environment for this artists’ salon.

Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8 p.m., Saturdays 2-6 p.m. and Sundays 12-4 p.m. Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.

3/21 - 5/9

The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.

The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.

For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.

Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.

Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property. Admission to both exhibition: $7; $5 HSRC members; $3 children under 12. Price includes free admission to the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on Sundays from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.

The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.

For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.

Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.

Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property. Admission to both exhibition: $7; $5 HSRC members; $3 children under 12. Price includes free admission to the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on Sundays from 12:00-4:00 p.m.

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10
3/5-28

FICTIONS Salon des Refuses 2K10 (French for “Salon of the Refused’). This exhibition provokes and enchants viewers with unexpected discoveries of experimental and innovative artworks. While some of these artists have been overlooked by the curators of some recent large group exhibitions, one finds that the work in this show captures the adventurous spirit of risk-taking, international artists who are moving art forward out of sheer survival.

The variety of experimental art, materials, and styles in FICTIONS is organized to open dialogue, posit new ideas and expand cultural horizons. The artists selected to exhibit dare to develop new language in all media that doesn’t fit into neat categories and boundaries—simply put, their work breaks rules. The distinguishing element running through all the work in this show is that fiction is more real than fact--analogous to contemporary life. The 8,000 square foot, 19th Century Dye Works Gallery at GAGA Arts Center is a dramatic environment for this artists’ salon.

Gallery Hours: Fridays- 4-8 p.m., Saturdays 2-6 p.m. and Sundays 12-4 p.m. Opening Reception: Friday, March 5, 6-9 p.m.

The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.

The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.

For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.

Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.

Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property.

The Historical Society of Rockland County Opens Two Exhibitions: Voices from Rockland: An Early History of the County(on permanent display)and Why Archives Matter (on display through May 9)with a reception on March 21.

The Voices from Rockland: Early History of the County exhibition will relate early history through historic objects and documents representing the stories of the people, buildings and sites using the Historical Society’s varied collections to tell stories.

For example, a Lenape cooking pot will begin to tell the story of the history around the Leni-Lenape daily life. A beautiful and rare Rooster Weathervane leads us into the history of early Dutch residents, exploring settlement patterns and important landmarks. A pair of Treason House Candlesticks will help us explore the story of Rockland’s “Treason House” where, supposedly, Benedict Arnold met with the spy Major Andre to plot against Washington’s troops. The exhibition will also include Nyack Turnpike mementos including maps, petitions, cut nails, information about Pierson’s factory in Suffern and information on settlements and factories in Ramapo. The story of Tom, an enslaved man in Rockland County will be relayed with documents and archival records. Through Tunis Smith’s diary the exhibition will look at observations from a farmer’s diary in the lower Hudson --ordinary, extraordinary, and vivid details of farming as a way of life and the relationship farmers have to the landscape, weather, crop production and sales. With the help of documents from Elizabeth Van Houten’s Sampler, the exhibition will explore childhood in that period of time and information about her and her family.

Why Archives Matter, a traveling exhibition developed by the Upstate History Alliance explores the meaning, use and preservation of archives and historical records using visuals from repositories throughout Upstate New York, including photographs, maps. Highlights of the exhibit include Civil War diaries; WWI exemption letters; a 1775 Stony Point Deed; WWII era cards; Woman’s Suffrage handbills; cotton horse thief poster from Clarkstown circa 1890 and an 1877 Ramapo tax ledger.

Tuesdays through Sundays, 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sunday admission includes a tour of the historic 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on the museum’s property. Admission to both exhibition: $7; $5 HSRC members; $3 children under 12. Price includes free admission to the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House on Sundays from 12:00-4:00 p.m.
