Art Highlights
4/13 through 4/27- “SECOND THOUGHTS” at the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson— “Second Thoughts” presents exhibition as revision. Curated by 14 first-year graduate students at the Center for Curatorial Studies, it is a direct response to the recent “Exhibitionism” (October ‘07 through February ‘08), a series of micro-exhibitions curated by Matthew Higgs for each of the 16 galleries in the Hessel Museum of Art. Unfolding over the duration of “Second Thoughts,” nearly all of the galleries will present new configurations of works from the Hessel Collection, with fresh series of exhibitions turning over and updating the galleries with revisions ranging from the subtle to the wholesale. Check out the website at www.bard.edu/ccs/secondthoughts for more info about this curatorial work-in-progress.

Sa 5/3- “FEAST OF THE ARTS” Fine Art Benefit Auction, and “ART IN THE HUDSON VALLEY: From the 19th Century to the Present,” at the Crawford House, Newburgh—The Historical Society of Newburgh has been working hard to make possible the restoration of the 1830 Captain David Crawford House, and has managed to obtain some grant money for that purpose from the state, but only if there were matching donations, so a series of events have been planned. Through the months of April and May, the “Art in the Hudson Valley” will be exhibited, featuring the Society’s wonderful collection of Hudson River School paintings and portraits. The May benefit auction starts at 3 PM with an art preview and tapas dinner prepared by award-winning local chefs Bruce Middleton and Dan Brown, followed by the auction, with James Cox of the James Cox Gallery as auctioneer.
