Join us for our ArtWall reception honoring our newest ArtWall exhibit, Scott Reinhard: “Here Here Here Here”, on Saturday, June 7th from 5-7pm! This event is free and open to the public.
Reinhard’s Here Here Here Here is a must-see for anyone interested in the intersection of art and science. The exhibition takes viewers on a journey through the expanse of our solar system, down to our planet Earth and over several towns in the Northwest Corner of Connecticut and adjacent to New York State, including Falls Village, the home of the David M. Hunt Library. While always looking down from above the earth, one can see how ice age glaciers created the clusters of the Berkshires and the tapestry of its valleys, rivers, and lakes.
Using USGS elevation data as the raw material for formal exploration, the central installation is a sixteen-foot-wide grid covering 445 square miles, roughly the area from Millerton, New York to Barkhamsted Reservoir in Connecticut and from North Canaan down to Cornwall. Composed of alternating cyanotypes and printed Tyvek squares, Reinhard challenges traditional perceptions of maps by transforming them into bridges between the visible and liminal, both literal and abstract. Individual squares from the installation will be for sale.
Scott Reinhard’s work with design, technology, data, aesthetics and place has been influential to the field of cartography. “My work emerges during the process of play as a way to understand why things are the way they are, why they look the way they look, and what might be possible beyond what we currently know.” Scott has been producing maps since 2016 both as an artist and as a professional, most significantly designing maps and data visualizations for The New York Times where he was involved in multiple Pulitzer Prize-winning efforts.
Here Here Here Here opens with a reception on Saturday, June 7, from 5PM to 7PM and will remain on display through July 3rd. In addition, Scott Reinhard will give an art talk at the library on Thursday, June 12 at 5:30PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the artist about his work as a cartographer and his techniques in creating unique maps revealing the topography of the real and the imagined.
The David M. Hunt Library is honored to host Here Here Here Here as part of its commitment to supporting local artists and fostering cultural enrichment in Falls Village and the greater Northwest corner of Connecticut. Our exhibitions are all free and open to the public.
