This requires that everyone leaves the building—staff and visitors—for four to six months on weekdays during active work on the roof. The good news is that on weekends the mansion will continue to offer programming outdoors and in the basement.

     Four contemporary American artists present their work at Uptown’s storied gallery, the American Academic of Arts and Letters.

     Lucy Sante (above) has been making collages since her teenage years in New Jersey, a practice she has sustained alongside her prolific writing career. After moving to New York, she worked at the Strand Bookstore, where she acquired source material that would fuel her collage work for decades. In the late 1970s, she created collaged fliers for The Del-Byzanteens, a band fronted by filmmaker Jim Jarmusch, and other groups in downtown New York. 

     Jessi Reaves (right) makes sculptures that confront the assumptions and values embedded in objects of daily life. Early works incorporate severed limbs of mid-century furniture in constructions that question the elevation of clean lines and rational forms to universal good taste. Recent sculptures have become visually dense, using handiwork and ornamentation to achieve an almost grotesque sense of accumulation.

     Also in the exhibition is Josiane M. H. Pozi, whose films and videos from the last eight years haec been remixed and rearranged into an installation.
