HOME HERE: Opening Reception
4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
HOME HERE is a site-specific installation that combines the work of eleven artists identifying as women living in Jersey City. Curated by Lucy Rovetto (1991 BFA), the show will explore themes of history and memory. The installation will be designed as a continuous flow where works would overlap, interact, and sometimes have no clear boundaries. Artists include: Laia Cabrera, Nicole DeMaio, Isabelle Duverger, Jaz Graf, Katelyn Halpern, Jin Jung, Pat Lay, Tina Maneca, Cheryl R. Riley, Jennifer Roberts, and historic figure Ward Mount, a painter, sculptor, and educator, who was the chair of the Art Department at NJCU (then Jersey City State College) in the 1940s. Historian Martin Pierce will illuminate the artist Ward Mount through his research.
