STOP BY our exciting Gallery Exhibitions in Building 35. Fank Palaia’s Urban Archaeology exhibit is a 20-year retrospective of Palaia’s mixed media artwork which looks like massive archeological fragments unearthed from abandoned underground urban landfills of the future; and abstract painter Edward M. O’Hara’s Echoes of Grass, displaying new Works on Paper created in the fields of his farm in Highland NY by using the earth as a brush. We also honor and celebrate what would have been this year the 100th birthday of our beloved friend and incomparable photographer, Ned Harris, whose work and incredible story are on display in the adjacent Visitors Center. DROP BY the M&T Bank-sponsored Kids’ Art Corner in Building #1 and CHPE-sponsored Student Art & Fashion Show in Building #2-2nd floor.

Take a WALK through Brick Alley where you will see and “hear” James Tyler’s iconic Brickhead and view the many industrial sculp tures created by multiple talented sculptors. Be sure to look up – not all sculptures sit on the ground! DON’T MISS the Creekside Sculpture Trail featuring sculptural installations in a bucolic, creekside setting, including Ted’s Creekside Stonehead Project by the late artist Ted Ludwiczak, the only permanent outdoor exhibition of Ludwiczak’s carved Hudson River stoneheads in the United States. AND PARTICIPATE in Strawtown Studio’s nature-inspired art activities for kids and adults (in case of inclement weather located in Building #10). ENJOY the many other outdoor sculptures we have throughout the grounds of the GARNER Historic District! MEANDER to the Back Door of Building 4 for a Room with A View: Landscape Paintings of Environmental Transcendence and Sculp tures of Sustainable Transformation by NYC artists Susan Sabiston and Rosalie Smith, respectively.

BUILDING 35 — NED HARRIS GALLERY

EDWARD M. O’HARA Echoes of Grass The Artwork of Edward M. O’Hara | Works on Paper

Pictured: Echoes of Grass 30 by Edward M. O’Hara

By using the earth as his brush, O’Hara’s new series breaks free from studio restraints while capturing the beauty, motion and ephemeral fragility of nature. The artist creates these works in the fields of his farm in Highland NY. After applying paint directly to the wind-blown grasses, he repeatedly presses paper with his hands and feet onto the grassy surfaces. When the paper is peeled away, bold, energetic, fractal patterns are revealed, patterns that are mirrored throughout nature - in ocean waves, sand dunes, and wispy clouds. - Artist, Edward M. O’Hara

BUILDING 35 — VISITOR CENTER

Photography

Ned Harris (1925 - 2016) Great photographer, artist, curator beloved friend

Pictured: Photo by Ned Harris, 1972

NED HARRIS was a successful artist, photographer, and curator who helped invigorate the cultural scene of Rockland County for over fifty years. A graduate of De Witt Clinton High School, Ned received training at Pratt Institute and The New School for Social Research. A founder of a prominent Manhattan graphic design firm, he created many iconic package designs for major cosmetic labels, such as Helena Rubinstein, Estée Lauder, Avon, Frances Denneiouy, and Revlon. He was a longtime board member and Chairman of the Exhibition Committee of the Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA), where he conceived and curated many memorable exhibitions. Instrumental to the founding and early activities of GARNER Arts Center, Ned Harris will always be remembered as a gifted photographer, artist, curator, and our beloved friend. A proud veteran of WWII, Ned served in the Twenty-Third Headquarters Special Troops, known as the Ghost Army, a camouflage unit comprised of visual artists and sound engineers designed to mislead the enemy. He was among the veterans interviewed in the PBS documentary The Ghost Army, and he was the subject of the documentary, Ned Harris: An Eye for Chance.

BUILDING 4 EAST

ROSALIE SMITH Kaleidoscopic Intestine Curator, Jonathan Shorr

My sculptures imagine a post-human world in which the 99% of us have devolved into growths upon piles of often tech-related trash, after the 1% have jetted to Mars. I seek to depict an unsexy singularity between humans and technology; i.e., microplastics magnified to macroplastics, like an old phone receiver grafted into flesh. Each sculpture reflects the present and future pervasiveness of waste collected within, and representational of, our landscape. With a whimsical, absurdist tilt, my sculptures are inspired by the notion of navigating ecological crises with assemblage gadgets and vehicles. - Rosalie Smith, Artist Pictured: Kaleidoscopic Intestine by Rosalie Smith

BUILDING 4 EAST

SUSAN SABISTON Between Worlds Curator, Jonathan Shorr

It has been written that, “she is exploring the terrain between the material, spiritual, and technological. Rooted in the occult and attuned to the unseen, her practice summons visions from the edges of consciousness, where myth, memory, and mystery converge. Her art serves as a space where the veil thins and the echoes of lost paradises stir. Drawing from sacred iconography, occult and esoteric traditions, each piece becomes a portal, some reaching backward toward buried Edens, others pointing toward possible transcendence. - Curator, Jonathan Shorr Pictured: Untitled 2 by Susan Sabiston
