Two Exhibitions at The Re Institute: Icebergs and Political Satire

exhibition · 2026-06-27

The Re Institute, a repurposed 1960s dairy barn in Millerton, New York, is hosting two concurrent exhibitions. On the ground floor, "Seven Women Chase Icebergs" features works by seven artists who participated in a residency at Pouch Cove, Newfoundland in spring 2025, convened by Brenda Zlamany. The show includes paintings, drawings, and works on paper responding to the remote landscape, with icebergs as a unifying motif. Artists include Daisy Craddock, Trine Bumiller, Elisabeth Condon, Barbara Friedman, Gill Ord, Karen Marston, and Zlamany. Marston's site-specific mural "Melting Ship" directly addresses climate change. Upstairs, "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" pairs paintings by artist couple James Esber and Jane Fine, along with a collaborative work. Fine's abstract-representational works incorporate political symbols, while Esber's distorted figures and caricatures offer satirical commentary. The exhibitions run through July 11, 2026.
