Exhibits at Wave Hill
Current Exhibitions
Hive Culture: Captivated by the Honeybee
Glyndor Gallery | September 13 - December 01, 2011The long history of artists’ fascination with bees and beekeeping has intensified over the last decade with the growing concern about Colony Collapse Disorder. This exhibition presents painting, sculpture, photography and video that explore a multi-dimensional preoccupation with the pivotal role bees play in pollination, environmental health and our changing relationship to nature.
Bronx Calling: The First Aim Biennial
Wave Hill | June 26 - September 05, 2011This exhibition celebrates the Artist in the Marketplace program which has advanced the careers of numerous artists over the last three decades. Bronx Calling features artists who participated during the past two years and is presented concurrently at The Bronx Museum of the Arts and Wave Hill.
Alchemy and Inquiry: Philip Taaffe, Fred Tomaselli, Terry Winters
Glyndor Gallery | April 03 - June 19, 2011For these artists making art is an engulfing activity that involves immersion in natural history, science and alchemy with inspiration from arcane botanical illustrations, to birding field guides to weather charts. Observing and being in nature informs their work as much as the study of how nature is represented in different cultures and in different ages. Organized by independent curator Raymond Foye and Senior Curator, Jennifer McGregor, Alchemy and Inquiry underscores the discovery and transformation in the artists’ work and situates this dynamic energy within the experience of the garden.
Sunroom Project Space 2011
Sunroom | April 03 - November 28, 2011Now entering its fifth season, the Sunroom Project Space in Glyndor Gallery at Wave Hill, a public garden and cultural center in the Bronx, commissions emerging New York-area artists to create a new body of work or site-specific project as a solo exhibition in the space.
Winter Workspace Program 2011
Glyndor Gallery | January 04 - March 27, 2011With the success of last year’s inaugural Winter Workspace Program, this winter Glyndor Gallery will again be transformed into spaces for artists to create new work or develop ongoing projects. Nine contemporary artists, representing an array of artistic practice, will be in residence over two, six-week sessions, drawing inspiration from Wave Hill’s gardens and unique natural setting.
