Come mid-October, the autumn foliage is beginning to paint the beautiful, panoramic views at Wave Hill. It’s a perfect time to reflect on the transformative power of nature to inspire and heal us. Join us for two special Meet the Artist sessions on Saturday afternoon as current exhibiting artists discuss their creative process and the inspiration behind some of their site-specific works.
Solo and group exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationships between nature, culture and site. When exhibitions are on view in the spring, summer and fall, Gallery Greeters lead public exhibition tours on Thursdays and Saturdays at 2PM. Visitors can expect an in-depth look at artworks on view in Glyndor Gallery and in the Sunroom Project Space, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in the unique context of a public garden. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
Look for migrating hawks soaring, circling and gliding above the Hudson River. Be inspired by our feathery friends as you fashion a raptor glider for the autumn breezes.
Join us on the opening day of Floresta de Pulsares (Forest of Pulses) for a conversation between exhibiting artist Bel Falleiros and Curator of Visual Arts Rachel Raphaela Gugelberger, followed by an activation of the site-specific work. Falleiros has transformed the Sunroom into an immersive, all-seeing forest to experience contemplation, reconnection, reflection and refuge through the body and the senses. The sound activation of the installation will be performed by Falleiros and Koyoltzintli, an interdisciplinary artist, healer and educator.
“Meet the Artist” is an ongoing series of conversations between exhibiting artists and curators. The program provides an opportunity for Wave Hill visitors, the artist’s community and others to learn more about an artist’s creative process and the themes that shape their work.
Join artist duo LoVid and Director of Arts and Chief Curator Gabriel de Guzman in conversation about LoVid’s exhibition Tap Root in Wave Hill House. On view are recent fabric works and works on paper that LoVid, an ongoing collaboration between Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus, began working on while in residence at Wave Hill in 2020.
