Nate Hill
The Loop Trail
Nate Hill's inaugural exhibition at the gallery, The Loop Trail, presents a series of biomorphic wooden sculptures created from locally sourced walnut trees, either scavenged from roadsides or shared by arborist friends. Hill envisions each piece as an "actor" in a role familiar in a forest ecosystem: grazer, producer, decomposer. Together, they connect, create, and play out different scenes within imagined systems and potential futures. Often, they collaborate and work in harmony, but sometimes they get caught in difficult scenarios or spend too much time on one thing. Through their presence in his studio, the actors became co-designers of additional sculptures in the exhibition, made from paper pulp, light, wool, lenses, found objects, and other materials.

George Kimmerling
The Unfinished History of Dennings Point
George Kimmerling's latest project explores the cultural landscape of Denning’s Point, a 64-acre site on the Hudson River in Beacon. Now a state park, Denning’s Point has a complicated—and distinctly American—history. Once owned by Dutch enslavers, Denning's Point is indelibly marked by racial and class conflict, unbridled industrialism, and environmental degradation. This exhibition includes new black-and-white landscape photographs, works based on archival materials, and studies for new historical markers. Kimmerling hopes the project begins to express a more holistic, inclusive, and complex understanding of this and similar sites as deeply contested and embedded in the social structures that have shaped them and that lie at the core of U.S. history.

BAU Gallery Artists
Awaken!
A call to action, a spiritual goal, a plea—"awaken" has a rich set of meanings, all of which seem right for this moment. In this exhibition of photography, drawing, printmaking, painting, and sculpture, BAU artists explore the many ways we can awaken to the world around us, from profound sensory awareness to engagement with pressing issues. Whether offering deep insight into the natural world, a reflection on social concerns, or a still and solitary form, the works are a collective call to viewers to reflect and respond. Participating Artists: Robin Adler, Karen Allen, Bob Barry, Joel Brown, Dan Florin, Nate Hill, Nataliya Hines, George Kimmerling, Linda Lauro-Lazin, Nansi T. Lent, Síle Marrinan, Soli Pierce, Eileen Sackman, and Ilse Schreiber-Noll. Visit https://www.baugallery.org/artists-current for artist information.
