The Heckscher Museum of Art Presents The Rains are Changing Fast: New Acquisitions in Context
2024-03-23 - 2024-09-01 | The Heckscher Museum of Art, 2 Prime Avenue, Huntington, NY, 11743, United States
The Rains are Changing Fast highlights artwork recently acquired by The Heckscher Museum of Art alongside a selection of key works long held in the Museum’s collection. For over a century, the Heckscher has been collecting and presenting art that explores the landscapes and social issues of its place and time. This exhibition, which takes its title from a 2021 video by Christine Sciulli, features new and beloved works of art that together reveal the diverse ways in which artists contend with environmental and cultural change. Created over a span of 175 years by some fifty artists, the works are united by shared engagements with landscape, allegory, and abstraction. Some, like Richard Mayhew’s Pescadero (2014) or George Inness’s The Pasture, Durham, Connecticut (c. 1879), present luminous, if precarious, visions of the American landscape. Others, including Deborah Buck’s They Had Stars in Their Eyes (2020) and Dorothy Dehner’s Landscape (1976), employ modes of abstraction that speak to issues of gender and materiality. The resulting visual conversations emphasize the Museum’s ongoing commitment to social concerns, environmental issues, and Long Island’s diverse communities.

Mary Ahern Presents Not Just Another Pretty Flower
2024-04-14 - 2024-05-31 | The Atelier at Flowerfield, 2 Flowerfield, St. James, NY, 11780, United States
Solo Exhibition of the work of the artist Mary Ahern at The Atelier at Flowerfield, in St. James NY. April 14 – May 31, 2024. Reception TBA.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
As a passionate gardener, my art is as intricately entwined as the gardens surrounding my studio. The lessons learned from the garden permeate my work.
With boldness in color & scale my art summons, with seeming simplicity, the complex questions of existence and purpose. These flowers represent a microcosm of the universe in their families and community as well as their quest for survival, eventual senescence and rebirth.
The interconnectedness and balance, whether of the cosmos in which we exist here on earth or that of an ephemeral flower flirting with a butterfly in the midst of a garden, call our attention to the fragility and interdependency of our existence. With a duality of macro and micro vision, my flowers invite the viewer to see, larger than life, the intricacy and purpose of their existence. And in their boldness, I suggest a contemplation of their relevance and ours in the social order of our universe.
