My art is site specific placements that reveal the specialness of place. The subject of this quality may be derived from cultural, historic, mythic or natural aspects latent within the site.

For Collaborative Concepts Art Project at Saunders' Farm I have created a placement, COW LICKS, honoring the herd of 40 Black Angus steer.

Rumi's Field
porcelain, glass, waxed linen, monofilament

I wanted to define an actual physical space that could invite the viewer to experience the following concept by the poet Rumi: "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."

This work begins as a dotted line of white porcelain bells composed in a rhythm that relates to the landscape. It leads the viewer up a hill from the road through four pastures and one woods to a space along the top ridge. Along the way, it tempts the viewer's involvement which becomes part of the work. In return, this response offers back a kind of lightness of being...away from the usual trance of thinking. Upon reaching the end of the path, the bells begin to percolate. The viewer finds themselves surrounded by a protective circle of bells that frame a surprise glimpse of the river. This is Rumi's field. It is a neutrally safe space place meant for personal reflection and private reckoning.

Part of Nancy Bauch’s working studio has been the land that surrounds her house. For years she has walked a trail that was originally an old road that had become completely overgrown. Maintaining this path has been an on going dedication and as time has passed she began to see areas that lent themselves to meditative spaces and began to define places for pauses. What she introduces into the land does not dominate or overwhelm the existing landscape, but instead tries to work with it, producing a new experience.

Concern about invasive species, anomalous growths, abnormal life forms and changing climate are a growing worry today. This piece hints at ominous threats that are taking place in the natural order that we have lived with for ages past.

Cluster of Women
10 colored cement figures from 48 - 63" tall

Brody's sculptures of women in cement and clay can be seen at Maxwell Fine Arts, Peekskill NY and at Ceres Gallery NYC in early 2007. Recent group exhibitions include shows at Yonkers, Peekskill, the Studio in Armonk NY, and Robert Miller Gallery, NYC and Peekskill Project 2005. Her ceramic books were at Castillo Gallery in Chicago, the Third National Women’s Book Exhibition in North Carolina, and in the traveling exhibition “Women of the Book,” which crossed the USA from 2000 to 04.
Brody's woman stand strong, defiant and proud. They talk to one another and to the viewer who will pause long enough to hear.

ROBERT BRUSH, Producer. Of nothing. Depicting nothing, imbued with expectation. In my background of theater, performance, and set design, I deconstructed known elements of plays and created altered versions of anticipated events. This conceptual approach continues in my current installation work as I focus on the familiar, the repetitive, and question its inherent security and authority. I overlay my work with an inquiry about adolescence, especially as an “American” idiom that extends to the environment. It is informed with the contradictions of limitlessness and restriction, freedom and unease, communality and competition, beauty and impending decay. It references the waiting world - from a playground, to a glacier, from a commercial strip, to a Native American Shell Mound. And teenage perception and experience, ratcheted up by hormones, rebellion, hubris, doubt, parental dictates, and peer group pressure. I rely on the viewer to participate in the creation and development of the work, and grapple with the question: “what is this?”

I am concerned with creating works in which others will participate. Labyrinths are ideal for my purpose as we have found them fascinating since prehistoric time. When I first learned through a friend that people were moving this way together, I had to learn how to make labyrinth paths. For me, they're like dance floors passersby suddenly happen upon. As I taught myself how to make them, I became convinced we needed to have labyrinths in public spaces in New York where we rush around so furiously. Just at the turn of the millennium, I was permitted by the Parks and Recreation Department to use paint on the asphalt of Union Square Park. Before that, only chalk was allowed, and it took me four years to get that far. Since then my temporary works for the city have numbered 7 and of those, 6 remain. It is great to be working in the rural setting of Saunders' Farm where steer as well as hikers and art enthusiasts can approach this labyrinth, patterned after the ancient Cretan design. My team and I would welcome the opportunity to create more labyrinths for people in rural areas, especially Putnam County. Meanwhile I pursue my dream of designing a world class pavement or botanical labyrinth for the city and, having been promised a site, am fundraising for that purpose.

Queen Anne’s Lace: a mandala for cows (formerly known as the Petri Dish)

Although many would refer to this sculpture as grass circles or crop circles it is not to be thought of as such. Where crop circles are purported to be created by a “higher being or life form” these Grass Sculptures are intended to help the viewer get closer to energy greater than the self. Similar in function to a mandala, Zen garden, labyrinth or maze the purpose of the grass sculpture is one of centering and orientation (within the self, the environment/place, community, world and cosmos). Further more it is meant to represent a pure truth and as such is an aid to meditation. In this case the sculpture is intended mainly for the Black Angus to utilize and ponder the ontological questions that cows often mull over while chewing their cud.

Visually the sculpture is influenced by the existing landscape and land use. Queen Anne’s Lace flower (growing in the hay fields) has informed the design and composition of this grass sculpture. The piles of hay placed at random yet seemingly regular intervals were inspired by the ones seen scattered throughout the farm. They just happen to coincide with the cardinal points and the structure of the Queen Anne’s Lace. Cows are encouraged to munch on the hay as they meditate on their existence.

The process is informed by lawn mowing and landscaping practices where visual texture is achieved on a grass area by alternating the direction of the lawn mower and blade rotation. Additional texture and patterning is achieved by raising or lowering the mower deck similar to the technique barbers use with hair clippers. Tools of choice for this sculpture were a scythe, John Deere mower, Chevy Tracker and a Dodge Turbo Power Ram (Cummins diesel engine).
______

Born in Edison, New Jersey, the artist spent much of his formative years in the Garden State. In 1991 a quest in search of the Jersey Devil prompted him to pursue a career in art, in lieu of joining the clergy. He currently resides in the Hudson Valley’s Highland Mountains in Garrison New York.

In my studio practice I am engaged in a direct dialogue with the minimalist-post-minimalist work of the 60’s and 70’s. I use this period of art history as a touchstone to ground my work and try, in my own way, to work within it’s tenets.

Following the tradition of minimalism, I have made a conscious decision to limit the materials that I work with. I have chosen to use what might be found in a typical basement, attic, or garage-- scraps of paneling, plywood, carpet, old basketballs, beer cans, etc.- the detritus of Americana.

The external conditions attached to art events require bio's. Making art, collecting art or buying it, experience-discipline-truth and the story could very well end there. Artists brought me into a world which was even more about choices than it was about art. I was born in Queens New York in the 1950's and left art college after two years. Exhibition and sales of my work began in the 1970's. I have a healthy list of private clients and do commissions, which I encourage. Collaboration about personal details is like feeding an already fat virgin. Living with art can be a dimensional feast, living with art that is about you is good story telling. I've shown in and out of Manhattan, in corporate space, private space, open studios and in group shows. Some of my work has been sold in Italy which was home for four years. 2005 and 2006 was an up-grade in my collectability: I received Artist's fellowship, Gottlieb Foundation and Max's Kansas City grants and made a celebrity sale. I have a studio in Beacon at Bulldog studios and I live in New York city's Greenwich Village.

Karl Saliter lives in an old church by the Housatonic River, in Cornwall Bridge, CT, with painter Terri Moore. His sculpture is informed by love of the river.

Karl’s work can be seen in public spaces, galleries, and sculpture gardens worldwide, most notably Pratt Institute Sculpture Garden in New York, and Luna Gallery, in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Of this project: “I’m proud to be working with Saunders Farm. My work is a form of reverence for Nature, and this place feels right to me. ”

Of his work in general: “In the studio, I listen. I’m grateful to explore in three dimensions. I don’t know where sculpture is taking me. This year, I’ve completed a seventeen-ton monolith, and a marble birdhouse, with equal obsession and delight. Sculpture continues to make me curious.”

Creating tension between perception and actual heft, solidity and prop-like illusion is just part of the strategy behind Gregory Slick’s sculptures. Freely referencing both aeronautical design and sprawling organic forms within a single piece, Slick’s artisanally crafted aluminum constructions aim to push beyond what metal sculpture is expected to look like. A curating artist in several art projects, Slick lives and works in NYC and Beacon, NY.

about Collaborative Concepts
Collaborative Concepts has returned to Putnam County where it all began. Eight years ago a group of seven artists, inspired by Herman Roggeman of Putnam Valley, put together an exhibition of their art. The following year, they were joined by more than 25 other artists, who spent weeks transforming a 14,000 square foot industrial space in Cold Spring into a pristine gallery. This time the exhibition drew scores of attendees and received reviews from numerous publications including the New York Times. The exhibit, intended to be open for a few weekends, remained open for four months.

Collaborative Concepts then transformed a 6,000 square foot space in Beacon into a showcase for artists ranging from those just out of art school to such recognized artists as Grace Knowlton and Susan Wilmarth-Rabineau. The selection of exhibitions was "always about the art, not whether it could be in a viable, commercial gallery" says Roggeman, who remains on the board of what is now an established not-for-profit organization. Collaborative has enjoyed reviews from national publications such as Art in America.

After six years in Beacon, dozens of shows featuring more than a hundred artists, Collaborative is taking yet another direction. The group, which has no membership but an active board of professional artists, is planning an extensive outdoor sculpture exhibition on the historic farm of Sandy Saunders in Garrison. The more than 100 acre property will feature over 40 artists. "The spirit continues as it was when the group formed", board member Eric Arctander stated, "We are still dedicated to presenting advanced art by artists who want to work together." "Collaborative Concepts is unique", added board member Sheilah Rechtschaffer, "in that we are artists driven with a purpose to presenting art in our community."
