Description (Abstract)
February 26, 2025 at Molloy University
Presentation Title: “Exhibition Experiences at Heckscher Museum in 2024”
My Power Point presentation focuses on my exhibition experiences as part of an art exhibition entitled “The Body Politic: Long Island Biennial 2024” at The Heckscher Museum, Huntington, New York from September 14, 2024 - January 19, 2025.
This exhibition was a juried show about contemporary social, cultural, and political issues. One of my artworks entitled “Belonging” was selected by the jurors. The exhibition was curated by Meredith A. Brown, consulting curator of Contemporary Art at The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington NY.
I plan to explain the background and meaning of my printmaking artwork entitled “Belonging” using the Linocut Method on paper. This work was inspired by the American political system and immigration issues during the 2024 national election campaigns. I will share my experiences during the 3 months of exhibition activities at the Heckscher Museum. The exhibition activities included: professional publication such as a description booklet, Newsday newspaper interview, photos and article, YouTube video on the Heckscher Museum Playlist, digital media hosted by Bloomberg Connects, community based indoor and outdoor art activities in the adjacent Heckscher Museum Park; community engagement through the Artist’s Talk in Gallery.
Participating in the highly organized exhibition at Heckscher Museum gave me extensive exposure to the Long Island, regional, national and international arena. I expanded my professional experiences and brought potential global recognition to Molloy University and our Art Department. As a professional artist and professor of Art, my experiences at the Museum were beyond my expectations.
