The East Gallery at Helen Day Art Center
The Helen Day Art Center offers changing exhibitions, carefully selected by our guest curators and exhibitions director, Odin Cathcart.
Our East Gallery gallery features the work of emerging artists from Vermont, New England and the Hudson Valley corridor of New York.
The Helen Day works to spread art knowledge in our community while awakening imagination in our future artists. Every year thousands of children visit our gallery. Shows are free to any school in Vermont who applies to a bus scholarship through our education department. We thank our supporters for this.
Winter 2010 - Wafaa Bilal: Agent Intellect
 |
|
Helen Day Art Center welcomes Wafaa Bilal, an Iraqi-American artist and professor at NYU to Vermont with a groundbreaking exhibition that explores the powerful and award winning art that arose from his personal experiences. This solo exhibition is the most comprehensive of the artist's work ever in the United States. Wafaa Bilal: Agent Intellect features four major works representing a comprehensive overview of the past three years of the artist’s career. Domestic Tension Redux, a recreation of Bilal’s award winning 2007 performance piece will occupy the East Gallery. The main gallery will contain his new and ongoing series Ashes, a series of five large format photographs based on models Bilal constructs, and one of the models, Samarra. In the Ashes work Bilal uses the photographic technique called constructive photography which involves building models as reference points for new photographs of a past experience. |
