acknowledgments

it is a pleasure to present 2009 Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region, one of the longest-running regional exhibitions in the country. The shared responsibility of the University atAlbany Art Museum and the Albany Institute of History & Art, the exhibition represents thedepth and vitality of art created within a 100-mile radius of Albany. So it is particularlyappropriate that this year’s exhibition has been designated part of the Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial celebration.

We are privileged to have had Matthew Higgs as our juror, who brought to bear hisinsights as artist and critic, as well as his experience as curator and director of WhiteColumns. With characteristic British aplomb, Matthew faced the daunting task ofreviewing the work of over 285 artists, who submitted over 1,200 images, videotapes, andinstallation proposals for his consideration. His particular interest in regional art, in workby artists of all generations, and in ideas that are sometimes thought to be outside therealm of contemporary art, were strong factors in my conviction that Matthew would be asuperb regional juror. He joins a distinguished roster of artists, critics, and curators whohave served in this capacity, among them Edward Hopper (1941), John Yau (1987), DanCameron (1997), Xu Bing (2000), Lilly Wei (2006), and Joel Shapiro (2008).

2009 Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region presents new work by thirty-five artists––both recognized artists and emerging talent. But our thanks go to every artist whosubmitted work for consideration. The strength of individual entries is critical to thedevelopment of a vibrant exhibition.

We are grateful for support of the exhibition and of this catalogue to AccentCommercial Furniture, Inc., Matthew Bender IV, Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial,Mayor Gerald D. Jennings, Charles M. Liddle III and The Community Foundation for theGreater Capital Region’s Nancy Hyatt Liddle Fund for the Arts, The M&T CharitableFoundation, University at Albany Alumni Association, University Auxiliary Services, and TheAndy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts; and for in-kind support to New York Press &Graphics, photographer Gary Gold. In addition, over a dozen businesses, individuals, and

organizations contributed juror’s and purchase awards and gift certificates, demonstratingthat even in challenging economic times, area businesses and supporters recognize thecontribution made by the arts to the life of our community.

Thanks also go to our colleagues at the Albany Institute of History & Art—DirectorChristine M. Miles and Deputy Director for Collections and Exhibitions Tammis Kane Groft—as well as to Sarah Martinez, Director of Albany Center Gallery, where an invitationalexhibition drawn from the Regional will be presented later in the year. I also want to welcomeThe Hyde Collection in Glens Falls as a presenter of the exhibition in 2010.

Organizing any exhibition is a collaborative process of the highest order. Thanks go tomembers of the University Art Museum staff for their efforts: Corinna Ripps Schaming forcuratorial and administrative oversight; Zheng Hu for superb exhibition and catalogue design;preparator Jeffrey Wright-Sedam, aided by Darcie Abbatiello, for skillful installation; andNaomi Lewis for her efforts to secure artists’ awards and her oversight of the juryingprocess. All were assisted in their efforts by Joanne Lue and Patricia VanAlstyne. ArielWillmott, the Milton and Sally Avery Art Foundation intern, was tireless in organizing entriesfor the exhibition. Thanks also go to our collections staff Wren Panzella and Ryan Parr, and toJeanne Finley for editing the catalogue.

We are deeply grateful to UAlbany President George M. Philip and to Provost and VicePresident for Academic Affairs Susan D. Phillips for their ongoing support and firm belief inthe importance of the museum and its role on campus, and to Associate Vice President forAcademic Affairs William B. Hedberg for his guidance at countless points along the way.

open call.

Since November 2004 I have been the director and chiefcurator of White Columns, New York’s oldest, not-for-profit,“alternative” art space. Founded in 1970 in New York’sSoHo by artists Jeffrey Lew and Gordon Matta Clark, andinitially know by its original street address—‘112 GreeneStreet’—White Columns has, for forty years, supported thework of literally thousands of artists. In the past fouryears alone White Columns has organized more than onehundred and fifty individual exhibitions and projects,working with more than four hundred artists of allgenerations. Central to White Columns programs in thepast four years has been a desire to expand the focus ofthe gallery, to establish a more engaged dialog with artistsoperating outside of the traditional metropolitan art ‘hubs’.Consequently we have initiated numerous projects withartists working in vital artistic communities in Milwaukee,Oakland, Philadelphia, Portland, Winnipeg, and elsewhere.Parallel to these initiatives we have also sought out artists

whose practices might not conform to the typical definitionof what art might be: for example White Columns hascollaborated extensively with Creative Growth, a communityof developmentally and physically disabled artists based inOakland, California, introducing the work of thisextraordinary organization and its artists to national andinternational audiences. Similarly we have introduced thework of many self-taught artists including MichaelPatterson-Carver, who once sold his ‘protest’ drawings onthe streets of Portland, Oregon, and who would go on towin an Altoids Award in 2008 at New York’s New Museum.In trying to broaden the scope of what an art space mightactually present, and in trying to establish—and sustain—dialogs with artists working in communities across NorthAmerica and beyond, White Columns hopes to bothprivilege and reflect something of the genuine complexityof art: the goal being to create a platform for artists of allkinds, one that is more inclusive, more responsive, andultimately more open.

Central to this process is the ongoing activity of lookingat art. All of the recent departures at White Columns havebeen informed by our exposure to the ideas and initiativesof a wide range of artists. Engaging with artists’ ideas isfundamental to my practice as a curator. In addition to myown independent research, each year some 4,000 artistssubmit their work to White Columns for considerationthrough our ‘Curated Artists Registry’ program. Like theopen submission process for the ‘Artists of the Mohawk

Hudson Region’ exhibition, White Columns’ registry activelyencourages artists to send their work in for consideration.Any open submission process is, inevitably, both a ‘leap offaith’ and a ‘leap into the void’ for both artist andjuror/curator alike. Whilst an ostensibly democraticprocess I think it still requires a considerable degree ofself-confidence on the part of artists to subject one’sideas to this peculiar form of scrutiny. As a juror one istypically encountering an artist’s work for the first time,without any real sense of an individual artist’s circum-stances or the context in which the work has developedand evolved. (These personal histories and narratives canoften provide a compelling subtext to an individual’s work.)Likewise one is not actually encountering the work itselfrather one is seeing a digital manifestation of the work:i.e. a reproduction. This complex scenario brings its ownset of issues to the selection process, in that youconstantly have to make adjustments between what youare actually seeing—usually on a computer screen—andwhat you imagine the actual work to be like. In a way it islike learning a new (visual) language, a new way of lookingthat involves an unusual degree of ‘anticipation’ as towhat the physical experience of the actual work might be.However despite these potential limitations the opensubmission process remains a highly valuable resource,as it creates a focused situation in which to encounternew work that one typically might not have access to. It isalso a great way to become visually acquainted with an

Page 17: 2009 Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region

individual’s practice, to get a sense of the larger forces atplay in an individual’s work.

I approached the selection process for the ‘2009Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region’ exhibition just as Iwould the process of curating White Columns’ ArtistsRegistry. I was curious, not only about what kinds ofartists would apply, but also if I would be able to identifyanything about a region I will happily admit to beingunfamiliar with. (This unfamiliarity with the MohawkHudson region was one of the things that attracted me tothe project in the first place, in that it presented me withan opportunity for unexpected encounters.) Ultimately Iwas looking for work that was idiosyncratic, for work thatdisplayed a strong sense of its own identity, for work thatspoke clearly on its own terms—whatever those termsmight be. I was not looking for work that was strikinglyoriginal or novel, rather I was interested in work that—often subtly—both revealed and reveled in a dialog with itsmany histories and influences. I was looking for differentperspectives, for individual and possibly even conflictingvoices. The writer and critic Dave Hickey once asserted ina talk at London’s Royal College of Art that: “The leastinteresting thing about two different artworks is what theyhave in common.” This seemed like a reasonable‘manifesto’ for my selection process. When sharedconcerns emerged: for example, a number of the selectedartists address the notion of ‘craft’, I was more intriguedby how these approaches distinguished themselves—often

Page 18: 2009 Artists of the Mohawk-Hudson Region

16.

radically so—from what they might have in common. I wasimpressed not only by the collective ambition of the work,but also by its sheer diversity: a diversity I can onlysurmise is reflected in the individual artists’ backgrounds,histories, experience, and motivations.

Ultimately I don’t know if the resulting exhibition isreflective of the art produced in the Mohawk Hudsonregion, however I do know that it represents a broadconstituency and seen together it is a powerful argumentfor the continued vitality of art’s presence in this part ofthe country. It was a pleasure and an honor to haveaccess to the work of all the artists who were generousenough to submit it for my consideration, and it has beena wonderful experience working with everyone at theUniversity Art Museum in Albany, I can’t thank you allenough.
