Sunroom Project Space 2010

April 03 - November 28, 2010
Sunroom

Now entering its fourth season, the Sunroom Project Space commissions five emerging artists to create new art, making full use of this unique gallery to stretch the parameters of their work and engage this site and the public in new ways. The five New York-area artists were chosen through a juried competitive process. Located in one of the most scenic venues in New York City, the window-filled Sunroom spaces overlook Wave Hill’s gardens and the Hudson River. Rather than competing with the breathtaking vistas, artists consider the juxtaposition of inside and outside space as it relates to their
installations.

Of her experience at Wave Hill in 2009 artist Janelle Iglesias commented, “What a different experience to work at Wave Hill rather than in a white cube! The Sunroom Project Space at Wave Hill is one of the most inspiring places I can ever imagine for exhibiting work. It was such a joy to install there.” 

This season, works will include pieces made from recycled industrial materials, interactive elements, and the use of light and sound to transform the viewing experience. Some artists will take advantage of the natural light to illuminate their work in a new way, while others will incorporate the windows into their installations.
