Millicent Young's Horsehair Cube Installation at Newburgh's Ritz Theater Stagehouse
At the Ritz Theater Stagehouse in Newburgh, NY, Millicent Young's 'Holding Light Sutra' takes the form of a cube crafted entirely from white horsehair. This installation, curated by STRONGROOM in partnership with Safe Harbors' Ann Street Gallery, fills a previously closed-off, expansive brick-walled area that had been unused since the 1970s until Safe Harbors of the Hudson recently revitalized it. The piece turns the raw stagehouse into an engaging exploration of themes such as displacement, fragmentation, and transformation. Visitors can view the exhibition until July 12th, 2026.
