Once More is an exhibit of installation, video and sculpture by multidisciplinary artist Megan Suttles, the founder of Hot Wood Arts in Brooklyn.
This exhibit takes its title from Once More, an evolving series of images that show Suttles contorting her body in order to occupy smaller and smaller open cubes. The confinement of the 2020 mandated, Covid-19 quarantine prompted the artist to revisit the 2017 series that ultimately totaled 1,000 still images – 200 per 6’, 5’, 4’, 3’ and 2’ cube. These cubes with video plus other works are part of the current exhibit.
Suttles considers her site-specific installations combining images, video and 3-D elements to be “spatial drawings,” in which she often utilizes her own body to explore her physical existence, self-preservation and healing.
Garden: A site specific installation by Thomas Lail
Ongoing in the Administration Building Atrium
Garden, Professor Thomas Lail’s oversized rendering of a William Morris wallpaper pattern, scales the trellis of the Administration Building’s glass atrium, reflecting on the history of glassed-in winter gardens, cultivated nature, and the dream of Utopian architectures of transparency. The installation project is supported by the Hudson Valley Community College Foundation’s Stephen L. Hyatt Fine Arts Fund and installed with assistance from the college’s Graphics Department and Physical Plant, and NoName Graphics, Troy.
