Lake George Arts Project Presents: Pictures Within Pictures, An Exhibition of Collages And Works On Paper
LAKE GEORGE — Lake George Arts Project presents Pictures Within Pictures, an exhibition of collages and works on paper by Dan Cameron, running from June 16 – 26.
In place of an on-site gallery reception, LGAP will host a Live Online Talk with Dan Cameron at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 16. A direct link to the discussion will be posted at www.lakegeorgearts.org on the day of the event.
Although he is well-known in the contemporary art world as a curator, art writer and educator, Pictures Within Pictures will be Cameron’s debut exhibition as a fine artist. The works on view date from his return to art-making in late 2016, with increasing focus and attention on developing his studio work in the intervening years. Since late 2018, he has maintained a combination studio and office in Glens Falls, and all of the works on view were produced there.
Cameron links his collage-making to his curatorial practice, in part because they are connected through his process of acquiring art-related ephemera and fragments of visual culture for an ongoing art history archive, in the process accumulating images that aren’t archival material, but nonetheless possess a certain visual appeal.
Cameron was born in 1956 and grew up in Hudson Falls. This is his first exhibition as an artist. As a curator he has organized international exhibitions throughout the US, France, China, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, Greece, Turkey, Sweden, Ireland, Portugal, Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Ecuador and Taiwan.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, corner of Canada and Lower Amherst Streets, Lake George, NY. Hours during exhibitions are Wednesday through Friday 12 – 5 p.m., Saturday 12 – 4 p.m., and all other times by appointment.
Regular Gallery hours may change due to COVID-19 public health concerns and protocols. For updates call 518-323-5499 or email laura@lakegeorgarts.org, or visit www.lakegeorgearts.org
