York City art world veteran, Margaret Bodell, culminates 20 years of gallery
experience with an Inaugural Summer Salon Exhibition “Contemporary Antiquarians”
opening at the new Art at the Bridge gallery in historic West Cornwall. The show
will feature the most recent work of contemporary emerging artists and artists
outside the mainstream that uniquely combine contemporary ideas with antiquated
and traditional techniques. Contemporary Antiquarians will highlight
artists that represent the “slow movement” in art, New Impressionists of our
time working with labor-intensive processes, nostalgic materials, and strongly
influenced by the artist’s sense of craft. The artistic talent will take
form in a variety of media including: 19th century photographic tintypes, oil
paintings that reinvent the sites of 18th century British landscape painters,
hand-whittled sculptures, and works influenced by turn of the century decorative
styles. Art at the Bridge, housed in a pink Victorian with a front
porch overlooking the West Cornwall village and the Housatonic River, will be a
getaway site for artists looking for community, conversation, and a place for
the incubation of new work. The space will be a summer “coffee klutch” for
artists, a retreat from the city, open seven days a week, in one of the last of
the undeveloped areas of Connecticut’s countryside. West Cornwall
has long been a community and home to many artists and writers with a tradition
of handmade craftsmanship, from furniture and pottery, to the architecture of
the famous covered bridge. Art at the Bridge will be a meeting place continuing
in this tradition and will provide a home for a contemporary dialogue of the
issues of our time. Bodell’s art ventures began in
her native Connecticut with her first gallery in New Haven in 1984, Art in
Heaven. Margaret Bodell Gallery in NYC’s East Village launched many emerging
artist’s careers and was known for the inclusion of underrepresented artists
such as those artists living with disabilities. Bodell founded numerous art
programs and artist residencies as well as social venture businesses throughout
New York and New England. Art at the Bridge continues to bring both the
historical and the contemporary to the Tri-State
community.
