Tony Oursler: hopped (popped)October 26, 2013 - January 12, 2014
Edward Hopper House presents a new installation by renowned multi-media artist Tony Oursler (b. 1957). Like Edward Hopper, Oursler grew up in Nyack, just down the road from the Edward Hopper House. Having spent his childhood exploring the same landscape from which Hopper drew his early inspiration, Oursler is uniquely poised to extend the framework of Hopper’s imagery into a combination of 2D, 3D, and moving image. For hopped (popped), Oursler has created five video installations to be specifically installed in the rooms of the Edward Hopper House, using Edward Hopper’s caricatures as a point of departure. These lesser-known drawings reveal a more improvisational, humorous approach, which Oursler sees as a potential bridge between the anarchic 1960s and ‘70s and the suburban landscape and somber quietude of Hopper’s melancholia. Oursler played a crucial role in the development of video art as a sculptural form. His work is in collections, and he has exhibited, in major institutions throughout the world, including the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Wash., DC; and the Tate Gallery, London. This exhibition is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency. New York Times Article>> |

Dorothea Lange's America
June 21 - August 19, 2013
Edward Hopper House Art Center hosts an exhibition of original prints by legendary photographer Dorothea Lange (1895-1965). Lange’s iconic portraits of Depression-era subjects gave a human face to that troubled period and influenced the development of documentary photography as a whole. One of Lange’s most famous works, Migrant Mother (right), stands as a symbol of pride and resilience in the face of abject poverty.
The exhibit was organized by Art2Art Circulating Exhibits (http://www.art2art.org/) and will comprise 30 original photographs on loan from the collection of Michael Mattis and Judith Hochberg. Funding was provided by First Niagara Bank, Corporate Sponsor; Eileen Fisher, Exhibition Sponsor; Barbara Hertz Friedmann, Exhibition Sponsor; Orange & Rockland, Education Sponsor; and Jo & Peter Baer; Victoria Hertz & Rod Greenwood; Adam & Denise Lipson; Donna & Don Riley; Kate Whitney & Franklin Thomas. |
