Frankenstein’s Paradise by Eli Thorn
2025-12-05 10:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | FLOCKart, 206 1st St, Troy, NY, 12180, United States
Frankenstein’s Paradise, featuring new works by Eli Thorne at FLOCKart located at Collar Works’ Art Yard at 206 1st St Troy.
Frankenstein’s Paradise collects recent paintings and sculptures by the artist Eli Thorne. Exploring imagined terrains that transcend time and place, Thorne’s works trouble the categories of natural versus monstrous, outsider versus insider. The exhibition understands the process of identity formation as assemblage, a Frankensteinian process of self-becoming.

2025-11-30 11:00 - 17:00 | Sky High Farm, 675 Hall Hill Rd, Pine Plains, NY, 12567, United States
Sky High Farm is pleased to announce its inaugural biennial, TREES NEVER END AND HOUSES NEVER END, a site-specific exhibition exploring the relationship between local ecology, history, and industry in the Hudson River Valley and its connection to New York City.

The biennial brings together more than 50 artists from around the world, including Anne Imhof, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Tschabalala Self, Rudolf Stingel, Ben Wigfall and Communications Village, and Rirkrit Tiravanija to explore themes close to Sky High Farm’s work at the intersection of climate, agriculture, food access and education. The artists participating in the biennial intend to donate a portion of any sale proceeds to Sky High Farm.

On becoming water and water: Odessa Straub
2025-11-29 12:00 - 17:00 | Collar Works, 621 River Street, Troy, NY, 12180, United States
Collar Works is pleased to announce On becoming water and water, a solo exhibition by Odessa Straub. The exhibition includes a range of Straub’s sculptures and paintings from the past several years altered and transformed for this presentation.
On becoming water and water transforms Collar Works’ temporary home at the former Union Bank. Studded by draped fabric walls, the space interchangeably evokes grand, theatrical space and cozy, intimate dwelling. On view is a selection of Straub’s paintings and sculptural works, which make re-use of various textiles, found objects, and discarded items of clothing. For Straub, clothing can become a form of armour in public, a persona to guard oneself. Here, these personas are shed: not necessarily discarded, but reused and reanimated. Items that once served as protection now float and flutter in water-filled vessels, evoking ocean life and newly-emerging ecologies. On becoming water and water reimagines the exhibition– normally a space of stagnancy– as a moving body of water: facilitating growth and transformation.
Join us for the opening Friday October 24, from 5-8 PM!
October 11- December 1, 2025

“Rhythm, Fission, and Folds”
2025-11-02 11:00 - 18:00 | Rohmer Gallery, 84 Partition Street, Saugerties, NY, 12477, United States
“Rhythm, Fission, and Folds” brings together paintings and sculptural works that explore transformation through time: how the ruffles of cloth record a shifting state of mind, the psychological tension between notes of a song, and how discarded materials, stripped of their original function, take on new identities with their own subjectivity. The title hints at urgency, tension, and harmony within the works—both thematically and visually.
Showcasing both local and international artists, the presentation includes works by Damilola Ajegbomogun, J.C. Hopkins, Rina Kim, Precious Eboigbodin, and Rebecca Stern. The exhibition will be on view from September 5 through November 5, with an opening reception on Friday, September 5, at 6:00 PM.

The Arrested Image: Identity Through the Lens of Law Enforcement
2025-11-02 11:00 - 17:00 | The Dorsky Museum of Art, Haggerty Circle Parking Lot 16, 35 Hawk Dr, New Paltz, NY, 12561, United States
The Arrested Image: Identity through the Lens of Law Enforcement, takes a close look at the portraits produced by police vision. By turning the gaze back onto how forms of law enforcement see and portray, it poses urgent questions regarding the relationship between identity and notions of truth, liberty, privacy, and justice in the face of rapidly advancing law enforcement technology.
From 19th century daguerreotype mugshots to today’s biometric databases, law enforcement techniques evolved in tandem with technologies used to represent identity. Despite the presumed objectivity of photography and its technological replacements, asymmetries between representation and reality proliferated along the way. Through archival material and artwork by 16 contemporary artists, The Arrested Image demonstrates the extent to which policing produces images that shape conceptions of identity and are often misshaped by the techniques that produced them.
