NADA x Foreland
August 28-29, 2021
Foreland, Catskill, New York
Microscope is pleased to announce its participation in NADA x Foreland on August 28th and 29th in Catskill, New York with the debut of a new sculpture by Yasue Maetake titled “Mass Inception.”
“Mass Inception” can be seen as fictional hybrid being between the human body and Mother Earth or a seemingly post-human entity, depicting a destructive volcanic mass and reminiscent of past living eruptions, substances, or agents in limbo between organism and the land. The work appears burnt and rusted, indicating the natural cycle of industrial decay, or topographies from another time or planet.
NADA x Foreland is a collaborative weekend exhibition to take place at Foreland—a new arts campus in upstate New York—featuring artwork installed in a historic industrial building in the center of Catskill, New York.
In partnership with Upstate Art Weekend and co-organized with NADA Member Jesse Greenberg of JAG Projects, the exhibition will highlight artworks from the community of NADA galleries, non-profits, and artists with a focus on artists working in the region of Upstate New York, featuring 81 exhibiting galleries, non-profits, and artist-run spaces presenting over 100 artists.
The exhibition will be free and open to the public Saturday, August 28 and August 29, 11am–8pm at 361 Main Street, Catskill, New York.
