Saturday, March 23 – Sunday, April 28, 2024 Cadence Giersbach, Cochecton, NY Inspired by rocks, earth, and the tangled growth of vegetation, Giersbach’s paintings, ceramics, and papier mâché sculptures create an organic world at once familiar and mysterious. Warren Pardi, Barryville, NY Pardi’s wood sculpture and furniture designs explore the curvilinear form and its relation to linearity, functionality, and the physical world with playful and surprising results. Saturday, May 4 – Sunday, June 9, 2024 Hanna Washburn, Beacon, NY Washburn’s “soft” sculptures made of recycled textiles will overtake DVAA’s gallery space this Spring. Installed on walls and pedestals, the mysterious sculptures playfully gesticulate, sagging towards the floor or gesturing with animated buoyancy. Catherine Chesters, Narrowsburg, NY For her second solo exhibition at DVAA, we will present recent abstract paintings by Catherine Chesters that explore the world of fungus and the effects of Psilocybin, creating awareness of the connectivity between humanity, nature, and the larger ecosystem. Saturday, June 15 – Sunday, July 28, 2024 Glenn Lieberman, Honesdale, PA In his series “Repossession: The Borscht Belt,” photographer Lieberman captures the decaying ruins of a glorious chapter in the history of the Sullivan Catskills. Danielle Klebes, Amenia, NY Inspired by a Hemingwayesque straight man's apartment, Danielle Klebes’ paintings present intimate interior scenes featuring a queer female and her circle of friends. Saturday, August 3 – Sunday, September 15 Julie Harrison, Ancramdale, NY "Invisible Body / Self-Portrait" expands Harrison’s exploration of the concept of self-portraiture, the science of representation, and what it means to live in a human body by looking inside the body & reimagining it. Tatana Kellner, Kingston, NY Known for her artist books and installations, Tatana Kellner will present a selection of monoprints from the series "Apart” that lies between abstraction and representation in the artist’s efforts to deal with the struggles of our times while maintaining positivity in the promise of a new day. Saturday, September 21 – Sunday, October 27, 2024 Dale Emmart, Honesdale, PA Emmart’s latest body of works features artist books that repurpose drawings and diaristic books that mark time or celebrate a simple line or shape. Some address environmental and social dilemmas, and many simply follow an impulse. Margaret Inga Urias, Scarsdale, NY In her exhibit “Of Cloud and Ash: Eons, Epochs, and Eras,” Inga Urias’ multimedia works on paper and glass, realized through research across various sciences, including planetary geology, evolutionary biology, and cosmology, explore the marking of time, seeking interconnectedness of all things, and telling the story of time, the cosmology of the universe, and Earth’s evolution. Saturday, November 16 – Saturday, December 23, 2024 Art in Sixes, 20th Annual Small Works Exhibition Every November for 20 years, DVAA has mounted “Art in Sixes,” an exhibition that celebrates and grows the region’s artistic community.
