NEW ART OUTDOOR ART INSTALLATION BY SAMUELLE GREEN RECENTLY INSTALLED IN COCHECTON, NY
NEW ART OUTDOOR ART INSTALLATION BY SAMUELLE GREEN RECENTLY INSTALLED IN COCHECTON, NY
Artist Samuelle Green demonstrates her versatility, range, and desire for artistic exploration with a new outdoor installation artwork entitled “B Y D A Y : B Y N I G H T ” that emerges from the organic deep sea, subterranean objects, and womb-like immersive realms of some of her past paper works (e.g. her “paper cave” installation in Honesdale, PA 2017) to rise scaffold-like into the outside world and sky above in Cochecton, NY. She achieves this through expanding her sculptural vocabulary to include a distinctly human visual language of steel rods on the x, y and z axes during the day that transcends itself and its materiality to become a work of reflective light existing in the void of the universe by night.
From an elegantly cropped three-dimensional grid are revealed seemingly levitating ethereal minimal chair forms – seats arranged to reference gatherings or assemblies with the attendees having departed or yet to arrive. The artist reimagines the elements as a way of acknowledging the politically disappeared or others missing, and their arrangements as a means of shaking up established hierarchies and settings. The work’s aspect of transformation is best viewed at nightfall; when illuminated by means of a light that we as viewers provide (via a flash photo or in the passing of a car’s headlights). A transcendent metamorphosis is revealed through reflection – both physical and metaphorical.
The installation is currently on view through the end of August at Cochecton Spirits, 54 County Road 114, and Cochecton Fire Station, 1 Depot Road in Cochecton, NY 12726. It is made possible in part by a grant from the Lammot Belin Arts Scholarship.
BIO
A native of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, Samuelle Green’s upbringing in a rural town surrounded by nature, artisans, and craftspeople shaped her creative path. Early apprenticeships with local artists fostered her interest in multidisciplinary approaches, which she formalized through studies at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and Parsons School of Design in New York.
Green spent nearly two decades in Brooklyn as a freelance artist and fabricator, contributing to diverse projects, including large-scale installations for other artists, museums, set designs, murals, sign painting, and window displays. This period honed her technical expertise and broadened her perspective on creative processes. Eventually, she relocated her studio to her hometown, where she now focuses exclusively on her personal work.
Her large-scale installations and sculptures have been exhibited nationally and internationally in Shanghai, Beijing, Venice, Tammiku, and Cannes. Within the U.S., her work has appeared in museums, galleries, and unconventional public spaces, consistently capturing attention for its immersive quality and transformative engagement with space.
Green’s work has been featured in prominent publications, including Hyperallergic, Colossal, Design Boom, and The Gothamist, and has been showcased in television series on HBO and AMC+. Her achievements include prestigious grants and awards from The Foundation for Contemporary Art, the juried winner for installation at Artprize, Grand Rapids, MI and The Lammot Belin Award, as well as the Arte Laguna Prize in Venice, Italy.
Green invites viewers to reconsider their relationship with their environment through her multidisciplinary approach -- offering works that resonate deeply with personal reflection and universal themes of growth, transformation, and connection.
