Inside the Gochman Family Collection’s Katonah space, artist Miles Greenberg takes us behind the scenes of his latest performance, and celebrating 10 years of Mrs. gallery.
The Gochman Family Collection contains over 800 works by contemporary Native artists, most of which are seen by the public only when they are loaned to museums and institutions — until now. Branchline, the collection’s new permanent home in Katonah, New York, opened last week with an exhibition whose poetic throughlines of land and limits pulse through works by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Cara Romero, and others. Writer Petala Ironcloud visits Branchline and reports on its strengths and how it remains to improve.
Sometimes artists choose to be candid about their experience in the art-world industrial complex, and for that we are infinitely grateful. Today, Associate Editor Phillip Pyle interviews Miles Greenberg on the occasion of his latest performance, “WAR,” a meditation on perpetual cycles of violence that, the artist says, was challenging to find a home for amid institutional silence over Gaza.
Congratulations once again to Hrag Vartanian, Hyperallergic’s co-founder and editor-at-large, who was honored alongside Mona Chalabi at ArteEast’s 23rd anniversary benefit on Monday night (which, by the way, was a hell of a party). Hrag, we owe it to your larger-than-life vision that we get to do this inspiring work each day. Thank you.
—Valentina Di Liscia, senior editor
Gochman Collection Builds a Home for Native Art in Westchester
In 1680, English colonists bought the land that would become Bedford, New York, from a Munsee Lenape sachem named Katonah, meaning “great hill.” Today, his name belongs to a Westchester village that is now home to Branchline, the Gochman Family Collection’s (GFC) new gallery and studio space, which opened to the public on November 6 with Line Break, an exhibition of works drawn primarily from its holdings of contemporary Native American art. | Petala Ironcloud
