COLLECTIVE EXPEDITIONS
Muroff-Kotler Gallery SUNY Ulster 491 Cottekill Rd, Stone Ridge, NY 12484 November 8 - December 13, 2019 |
The International Society of Antiquaries is a league of artists who are bound by a desire to look back in order to look forward. Collective Expeditions is their inaugural show and features painting, works on paper, sculpture, and installation. Although the artists have diverse practices, their work fits together in complex and interesting ways that speak to the importance of understanding our past—sometimes as far back as prehistory—in order to comprehend who we are as a species and where we are going. “Individually and collectively our work references tribal, shamanic, ancestral, as well as contemporary art; esotericism; anthropology; and archaeology in various direct and indirect ways.

UNCHANGING WINDOW
Geoffrey A. Wolpert Gallery, Arrowmont School of Arts and Craft 556 Parkway Gatlinburg, TN 37738 October 9 - December 12, 2019 |
Nature is abundant with sturdy patterns — blueprints for substructures that heal the psyche, built out of the everyday ruins of existence. Kyle Cottier's sculptural practice is rooted in the metaphysical study of underlying patterns and principles that give rise to the convalescence of the natural world. Within his work, the permanent cycle of growth and decay coexists with the presence of absence, informed by the essential human experience of processing loss.
