Richard Deon: Paradox and Conformity [link] | Hudson River Museum, Yonkers
During the past 20 years, Hudson Valley resident Richard Deon has explored the visual style and methods employed by textbook illustrators from the 1950s. These unsung artists sought to introduce school children to public institutions, history, and politics through the use of easily graspable images and situations. Deon draws on their methods, arranging figures with implicit cultural connotations in situations that mimic the civic and didactic. However, he places viewers in puzzling territory, where the seemingly familiar describes "an uneasy pictorial absurdity." Through aesthetic isolation and dislocation, misidentification and nonsensical juxtapositions, the artist allows conflicting images and ideas to coexist without the hope of resolution. This exhibition includes more than 30 paintings, ranging from monumental banners to easel-sized canvases, as well as small-scaled ink-jet prints from different three graphic series. Richard Deon: Paradox and Conformity is based on an exhibition originally curated by Thomas Piché, Jr., for the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art, Sedalia, MO, which has been re-organized for presentation at the Hudson River Museum. On View through September 5.

Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s 2010 season [link] | Boscobel Estate in Garrison
Just in time to celebrate Shakespeare’s 446th birthday on April 23, founding Artistic Director Terrence O’Brien has announced the line up for the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival’s 2010 season [link] on the grounds of the historic 19th Century Boscobel Estate in Garrison, New York. Considered to be one of the best nights out at the most reasonable price, the Festival offers something for everyone from high comedy and romance to betrayal, battlefields; iambic pentameter and hip-hop rap. This season takes the audience to the Trojan War where love turns to infidelity in the bedroom and on the battlefield. A cast of celebrated Greek heroes bring intrinsic values of honor and love into question with Troilus and Cressida. From classic war time battlefields to the battle of the sexes, the question ‘who’s taming whom?’ will be answered with classic wit in the comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. And what would a season at HVSF be without an all out irreverent takes on Shakespeare, in this case The Bomb-itty of Errors, a comic hip-hop rapping romp through The Comedy of Errors?
through September 9

Cuba Avant-Garde: Contemporary Cuban Art from the Farber Collection [link] | Katonah Museum of Art
Cuba Avant-Garde examines a rich and varied history that few outside Cuba have had the opportunity to explore. Selected from one of the premiere private collections in this field, the exhibition features paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and mixed media work by 42 Cuban-born artists. It illustrates how contemporary Cuban art, while firmly rooted in the specific historical and cultural context of Cuba, manages to transcend the limits of geography and nationality to engage with and enrich a much larger global artistic discourse. Major themes addressed by the artists include the history of colonialism, emigration and exile, political and economic crisis, and social issues concerning religion, gender, and race.
Exhibit runs thru September
Butterfly Exhibit | Greenburgh Nature Center, Scarsdale [link]
Join us for our first butterfly exhibit, which opened on June 12th and runs through September 30th. Located in our walk-through greenhouse, visitors will enjoy close up encounters with numerous varieties of butterflies and learn about their importance in nature.
See up close how adult butterflies are wonderfully diverse in shape, size, and color. In addition to just being beautiful and fun to watch, see how active butterflies are during the day. Because of their interactions with plants and other animals, butterflies play an important role in the web of life. Our exhibit will include many “butterfly friendly” plants.
Learn how butterfly caterpillars are voracious plant-eaters, yet they play an important role in plant survival. Find out how you can help butterflies by conserving or restoring butterfly habitats. The GNC strives to increase public awareness and education about butterflies, through exhibits such as this one.
Special thanks to following for their generous support of this exhibit: the Geraldine Stutz Trust, Bartlett Trees, Cablevision, Central Animal Hospital, Hitachi, HSBC, and Sprain Brook Nursery. Add'l programs on July 31, August 22 & September 19.
