Job Security: Voices and Views from the American Security Industry was featured in the Times Union. Creators Danny Goodwin and Edward Schwarzschild discuss how, “We don’t have the answers, but I do feel like in eight years working on this project, we have developed some of the right questions,”  Schwarzschild said. “And they’re questions that people need to continue to ask about the ramifications of this expanding industry.”

We are pleased to present our fall 2024 exhibitions on view beginning August 12. Come visit us to see Job Security: Voices and Views from the American Security Industry, exploring the people, places, and ideologies of the security industry, and Sky Hopinka: Dislocation Blues, a short film documenting the Standing Rock protests.

Barrow Parke: Systems and Mythologies is one of Hyperallergic's 5 Shows to See in Upstate New York This February. Barrow Parke's "hand-loomed textiles and paintings address a range of themes, from creation myths and the cosmos to computer science and the mathematical process endemic to the act of weaving."

We are delighted to share our 2023 Year in Review! We are excited to share what we do best as we continue to champion new artistic voices and explore new directions in contemporary art—none of which would be possible without your continued support and generosity!

Barrow Parke: Systems and Mythologies featured in the Times Union. The article highlights the artist duo's use of "weaving to reduce other systems to their basic units. Pixels on a computer screen become colored threads in their paintings; imagery in creation myths becomes woven patterns."
