Decameron: David Cohen’s Decade of Exhibitions at the New York Studio School, 2000-2010
Portrait of the Gallery as Palimpsest
Activate the slideshow to savor the radical transformations to our historic gallery space from show to show, between 2001-10, with installations of Charles Hewlings and Ron Shuebrook, and by Vincent Barré, Pat Steir, and Rebecca Smith.
The exhibition, Decameron, brings together curator David Cohen’s choice of works from a decade-long engagement with the New York Studio School, first as a guest curator in 2000 when he brought portraits by fellow Briton Leonard McComb to New York, and from July 2001 to September 2010, as Gallery Director of the School.
Cohen returns to install the scheduled exhibition of Liliane Tomasko in November 2010 and remains on faculty at the School as a lecturer on contemporary art.
!["The Studio School continues to influence my practice in every way. I loved being immersed in an environment that was all about art. Everyone took painting and sculpture as serious endeavors. [...] My teachers, Clement Meadmore and William Tucker in particular, helped me find ways to conceive and articulate what it was about sculpture that was important to me. The visiting artist line up was incredible – everyone from Merce Cunningham to Louise Bourgeois to Brice Marden and so many more lectured or critiqued. And the School’s emphasis on art as a continuum, and studio practice as an ongoing search, are ideas I still embrace." - Chris Duncan
