Meghan Gordon
|
Sunroom Project Space
| April 3—May 8, 2011
|
Meghan Gordon’s project merges various historical facts about Wave Hill’s property with a focus on the ways artists create a mediated view of nature. The crux of the project is the artist and explorer Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh (1853-1935), to whom the mural in Wave Hill’s former recreation building (now the Ecology Building) is attributed. Gordon is developing the project onsite through the Winter Workspace Program.

Alchemy and Inquiry: Philip Taaffe,
Fred Tomaselli, Terry Winters
|
Glyndor Gallery
| April 3—June 19, 2011
|
For 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 | September 13—October 16, 2011

For her multi-media project, Caitlin Parker built a scale model of the Sunroom and placed it in Wave Hill’s Woodlands from February to August 2011, with two motion-sensor cameras to record the comings and goings of various fauna that live here, as well as any changes to the flora over that time. She edited the short bursts of high-definition video into two time-lapse sequences, which are displayed with the weathered and decayed model, serving as witnesses to the unseen changes in the landscape.
