Alien Nations 2020
As communities all over the world face a modern-day pandemic, people are left to a new societal order. Concepts such as isolation and distancing, as well as technological connectivity, appear to acquire unprecedented meanings today. While many suffer from a lack of face to face communication, the bytes and metadata of unbounded Internet have become tyrannical. The shocking disruption and death caused by the Coronavirus, the unprecedented economic toll, violations of human rights, and immigration issues, all exponentially intensify a sense of alienation and anxiety. Acutely sensitive to their environment, artists often voice awareness of these problems, while having the gifts to turn our soci...

The Panoramic River
Havell s work, (who also created many of the landscapes for Audubon s famous birds) includes panoramic publications and paintings of the Hudson River and the Thames like other artists in this exhibition such as Thomas Cole (Father of the Hudson River School), and noted artists Jasper Cropsey and John Kensett, who favored the chain of cities, suburbs, and countryside along these two rivers, where horizontal planes and historical associations gave form to both artistic and cultural expression. The Panoramic River features major loans from more than two dozen museums, galleries, and private collections. Museums lending paintings include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The New-York Historical Society; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Baltimore Museum of Art; Fenimore Art Museum; The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College; Maryland State Archives; West Point Museum; Williams College Museum of Art; Princeton University Art Museum; and the Yale Center for British Art.

Who's Your Paddy?
After all the green beer has been poured and the ubiquitous shamrocks fade away, what does it mean to be Irish American besides St. Patrick’s Day? Who’s Your Paddy traces the evolution of “Irish” as a race-based identity in the U.S. from the 19th century to the present day. Exploring how the Irish have been and continue to be socialized around race, Jennifer Nugent Duffy argues that Irish identity must be understood within the context of generational tensions between different waves of Irish immigrants as well as the Irish community’s interaction with other racial minorities. Using historic and ethnographic research, Duffy sifts through the many racial, class, and gendered dimensio...
Still As Bright
An immersive exploration of the nightly presence that has captured our imagination for the entirety of human history. "When the Moon rises between buildings or over trees, it’s not just a beautiful light: It’s an archive of human longing, fear and adventure. The Moon is more than a rock. It’s a story.” In the luminously told Still s Bright, the story of the Moon traverses time and space, rendering a range of human experiences—from the beliefs of ancient cultures to the science of Galileo’s telescopic discoveries, from the obsessions of colorful 19th century “selenographers” to the astronauts of Apollo and, now, Artemis. Still As Bright also traces Cokinos's own lunar pilgrima...
Here Down on Dark Earth
Discover New York’s poignant memorials through powerful photographs capturing everything from fleeting tributes to enduring monuments The photographs in Here Down on Dark Earth document the many ways New Yorkers express their intertwined feelings of loss and remembrance. The famous and the unknown, the rich and the poor, meet the same fate, but how they are mourned and remembered varies greatly. New York City’s monuments and memorials are large and small, civic and personal, traditional and vernacular, planned and spontaneous. Some commemorate a significant event such as the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, others the death of a single child hit by a stray bullet. A memorial o...
Incandescence: the Chandelier in Contemporary Art
Works by four dozen artists explore the motif and meaning of the chandelier through sculptural forms, photography, painting, drawing, and installation. This volume is the catalog for the stunning collaborative exhibition spread across three CUNY venues. The motif of the chandelier serves as a powerful vehicle for contemporary artists to provoke deeper questions about forms and concepts that both beguile and create friction. The fusion of historical associations with contemporary interpretations furthers a dialogue between past and present and exploits tensions between "high" and "low," particularly through questions of taste. Many of the works included in this exhibition explore juxtapositio...
