Learning about the two new exhibitions at the Art Association of Harrisburg

Airdate: April 28th, 2023

 

New exhibitions at the Art Association of Harrisburg are always highly anticipated.

There are two new exhibitions opening Friday – The Eppleman Collection: A Triano Family Gift curated by Rachel O’Connor and Correlated Cultivations, guest curated by Nate Foster.

Both curators were with us on The Spark Friday.

The Correlated Cultivations exhibit includes three artists — Young Won, Earle Rock and Marina Radanovic. Foster described the exhibit,”They have different styles from different generations, but there is a cohesion to it. The way I look at it as human beings, we all kind of have similar shared experiences, and some of what that is, is trying to identify the problem.”

The Eppleman Collection: A Triano Family Gift is made up of art collected by I. William Eppleman, an architect, who born in Columbia, Lancaster County in 1904. O’Connor described the exhibition this way,”It is varied and a real feast for the eyes. It’s a it’s a real treat. So the exhibit has works that were donated to the Art Association’s permanent collection, and those works that are exhibited are mainly prints. And so they are prints that are they tend to be midcentury modern. So we’re talking, you know, prints that are created in like, 1950s, 1970s and well, not not eighties, but 1960s, seventies. And they there are a lot of black and white prints. There are some colored prints. But at the same time, there’s no one particular style. So there are some prints that are architecture. Makes sense, right? He was an architect. They’re they’re very realistic. They’re also prints, though, that are more abstracted and they might be of a cityscape. There’s one, I believe it’s of Tokyo, we think perhaps. Or Kyoto. Maybe. Kyoto.”

The exhibitions run through June 22 at the Art Association of Harrisburg.
