The Kingston Sculpture Biennial
JULY 4TH 1-4PM
The 9th Kingston Sculpture Biennial will be on display throughout three city parks which overlook the Hudson River: Hasbrouck, Kingston Point and the Rotary Parks, from Saturday, July 4th thru the month of October 2009.
While this year’s Biennial revolves around the theme of using both natural and recycled materials, it pays great homage to the Hudson River's impact and influence on the region. There is a whimsical figure made out of found metal objects in the likeness of Henry Hudson by mi Chelle Vara, Melita Greenleaf has created the “Thee Sisters” which is figurative of three large bean, corn and squash seeds. The Northeast Center for Special care is organizing the painting of bluestones from our region and Vindora Wixom’s “Tear of the Clouds” represents the origin of the Hudson River. Many others will delight and entertain you as you walk through the parks.
This highly anticipated outdoor exhibition is expected to feature the following artists: Bill Brovold, Pieter & Abby Heijnen, Karl Saliter, Melita Greenleaf, Bennett Wine, Terry Slade, Scarlett Colsen, Dave Channon, Willy Neumann, Ezra Silverman, James Hixson, Michael Ciccone, Itty Neuhaus, Mark Bernard, Anne Dobek, Kelly McGrath, Naz Shahrokh, Robin Glasman, Karen Pignataro & Gary Pluschau, Randy Polumbo, Sandra Schaller, Stephen Reynolds & Pamela Wallace, SUNY New Paltz Art Alliance, Kathy Bruce, Mathew Zappala, Casey Schwartz, Susan Togut, Northeast Center for Special Care, Anne Stanner, Robert Giordano, Franc Palaia, and Cristina Ungureanu.
