On view: "Where Do We Stand? Two Years of Drawing with Open Sessions", the second whole-group exhibition of the Open Sessions program. Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thurs 12-8pm through September 17. 〰 Agloe, NY is a fictitious town just outside the Catskill Mountains. It was created in the 1920s by cartographers Otto G. Lindburg and Ernest Albers as a copyright trap to prevent the plagiarism of their road maps. After the artist's chance meeting and subsequent interview with the last resident of Agloe, "Agloe, NY (Lisa's Home)" visualizes the woman's home in Agloe through architectural drawings based on her own drawings and memories of the house. In an era of fake news, Daniel Bejar's project challenges what defines reality and ultimately how the fake can become real. 〰 Pictured: Daniel Bejar, "Agloe, NY (Lisa's Home)", 2017, Historical map, 22x 28 inches. #OpenSessions #DanielBejar
