Photo Exhibit: 82 Pieces of '82: Main Street, Nyack

50 Piermont Avenue

The exhibit will be open Saturdays from 1 – 4 January 21st through April 15th
In 1982, photographer Brad Hess walked Main Street in Nyack every Sunday morning, taking over 3,000 black and white photographs. Trying out a new film, he decided Main Street was where he would experiment with it. As the images emerged from his dark room, he became fascinated with the quality of the film as well as the opportunities Main Street offered him. He returned nearly every Sunday morning for the next year, walking from 9W to the riverfront.

82 Pieces of ’82, Main Street, Nyack will be our first traditional “opening” since COVID. Please join us in thanking Brad for sharing his amazing work with us, and hearing what he has to say about these street scenes and their meaning for Nyack. We look forward to your questions, feedback and commentary. Brad will have the floor around 1:30. Please come masked – we want to minimize everyone’s exposure to our current variant with its high transmission potential. And for that reason also, our refreshments are very minimal.

Kibbitz & Nosh: New York City’s Vanishing Cafeterias
Photographs by Marcia Bricker Halperin
During the early to mid-20th Century, the streets of New York City were filled with hundreds of cafeterias, and self-service eating establishments. One particular restaurant, Dubrow’s Cafeteria in Brooklyn, was a legendary institution. New York City-based photographer Marcia Bricker Halperin documented Dubrow’s and other cafeterias in their waning days, drawn to the memorable faces and the liveliness and sorrow of urban life in that vanished world.

Encore Encounter features the works of Poramit Thantapalit. Poramit’s work is inspired by the relationship and connection between humans, nature and the surroundings such as trees, flowers, the ocean, people and animals. The artist focuses on using both recycled and non-recycled materials to create his artwork. Discarded shopping bags, cereal boxes, and plastic bottles that were once considered “trash” are altered into unexpected visions of beauty such as coral clouds hanging from the ceiling and bluetanica gardens growing on the wall . Poramit’s artwork is created from small parts and are uniquely assembled like puzzles. Each piece can stand alone as an individual object or together to create a large installation. Cyanotype prints are often made of the recycled objects of art. Beautifully created sculptures, installations, mixed media and drawings exemplify just how much waste we generate. It also His work inspires viewers to protect our environment.
A native of Thailand, Poramit Thantapalit has a degree in journalism and a master’s in computer graphics from New York Institute of Technology. He has over 15 years experience as a graphic designer, artist and photographer with global marketing organizations. His installations and artworks have been exhibited at the Arcadia Earth Museum, National Academy Museum, the James Rose Center, IPCNY Print Fest at Robert Miller Gallery, the Jersey City Theater, and the Sodertalje Arts Gallery in Sweden.

Untold Stories
April 15 – June 10, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday, April 15, 2pm-5pm
Free to the Public
Rockland Center for the Arts (RoCA) continues its mission of inspiring the
community through new and diverse forms of contemporary exhibitions, all
free to the public. During the month of April, RoCA will bring together
three artists whose art conveys life stories of ecological issues,
immigration, and humanity.
Untold Stories, curated by Mary Ting for the Emerson Gallery, brings
together fragmented memories, dreams, whispers, whimpers, trauma,
historical and contemporary chaos which are woven together, dissected, and
reassembled in the works of Tara Sabharwal, Mary Ting and Yeon Ji Yoo. Time
is at once present, past, future and the site is here, there, elsewhere and
nowhere. These works are much more than collages, drawings, paintings,
prints, books, sculpture, and photographs – they are evocations of loss;
desperations; relics, shrines; and reckonings. Likewise, they are also
rebirths; devotions; divinations, odes to nature, wonder, life; and newly
revised contemporary translations of old stories. These Untold Stories are
the artists’ pilgrimage into the hauntings of war, immigration, politics,
gender issues and ecological collapse.
The paintings, drawings and prints of Tara Sabharwal are intuitive in
process -a melding of the unconscious self and the raging global migration
crisis. Tara has also curated many exhibitions on the theme of migration.
Tara was born and educated in Delhi, India and resides in New York.
The drawings, installations and books of Mary Ting reflect on Chinese
cultural history, trauma, grief, and the loss of nature. Mary teaches
environmental justice and does research on the wildlife trade. Mary is an
American born Chinese, who also studied and worked in China.
The sculpture, photographs and collages of Yeon-Ji Yoo are infused with her
childhood memories, family struggles and reconstructed narratives. Yeon Ji
has a graduate degree in fine arts and also environmental science. Yeon Ji
spent her early childhood in rural South Korea before immigrating to the
United States.
Please join Rockland Center for the Arts for the exhibition opening artists
reception on Saturday, April 15th, 2:00pm – 5:00pm. The exhibit will be on
view through June 10th, open Mondays – Saturdays 11am – 4pm, (closed
Sundays). Free to the Public. For more information call (845) 358-0877 or
