Taconic North, an invitational exhibition of small works from regional artists, curated by Susan Jennings and Julie Torres opens the 2017-2018 season at LABspace on Saturday April 15th and runs through Sunday June 11th. This very large show of very small works is being organized in the same spirit of LABspace, a nexus of creative community and expression. The curators have connected around their shared love of tiny artworks, and packed shows of local artists that help to expand and strengthen connections. “Taconic North” is celebration of area artists and creative community.
The show opens with a reception for the artists on Saturday, April 15 from 5-7:30. There will be several events during the show including music performances, readings talks, brainstorming and creative sessions, cocktail gatherings. Please look for announcements of these events.
LABspace was founded and is directed by the artist Susan Jennings. The gallery is dedicated to experiments in curation, exhibiting category-busting and/or materially surprising contemporary art, and hosting performance art, screenings, readings and music that push the boundaries of categorization, participation and/or experience.
LABspace is located at 2642 NY Rt 23 in Hillsdale, NY just west of NY Rt 22 in Hillsdale, NY. Gallery Hours are Saturdays 11-5, some Sundays (check our Facebook page and/or website) and by appointment via labspaceart@gmail.com
