Seeing Past the Future – An Online Exhibition

Seeing Past the Future, an online exhibition of works by 2019-2020 Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant recipients, conceived by Shimon Attie, the inaugural Charles C. Bergman Endowed Visiting Professor of Studio Art at Stony Brook University’s College of Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, is now open virtually. In consultation with Norman L. Kleeblatt, former chief curator at the Jewish Museum in New York, and with curatorial assistance from Talya Feldman, Attie has chosen a group of 29 artists who received Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the presentation of contemporary works by PKF grant recipients, Attie hopes to underscore how Pollock and Krasner’s legacy remains vibrant and relevant and continues through the practice of numerous working artists today. The exhibition includes 50 works in a wide range of media, aesthetics and conceptual strategies.
