Constellations

This exhibition features artworks by 20 artists who have been mentored and influenced by Ben Jones: Ray Arcadio, Josephine Barreiro, Gianluca Bianchino, Gerardo Castro, Jose Manuel Cruz, Orlando Cuevas, Gerald Glover, Troy Jones, Heejung Kim, Richard LaRovere, Mansa K. Mussa, Mustart, Oroccoro, Jose Pardo, Michele A. Pope, Lucy Rovetto, Omar Saed, Danielle Scott, Will Suarez, and Bisa Washington. Their community of practice now extends four decades and thousands of miles beyond the orbit of northern New Jersey—each with their own connection to Jones—working in parallel universes of their own creation.

 

This exhibition was co-curated by Casey Mathern, director of the William Paterson Galleries, and Midori Yoshimoto, director of the NJCU Galleries, and was held in the William Paterson Galleries during the fall 2023 semester.
