exhibition · 2026-04-23

Mary Jones and Brenda Zlamany engaged in conversation about their artistic collaboration, which originated when Jones sat for Zlamany's Watercolor Portrait a Day project. This dialogue was documented in an article on artcritical. Jones currently has a solo exhibition titled "Proxima b" at John Molloy Gallery, open until November 26. The show features her recent work, and discussions about it also took place in Jones's Chelsea studio. An anthology focusing on collaborations between poets and artists has been published by Cuneiform Press. Historical exhibitions include a 2005 presentation at Marlborough galleries in New York, with locations at 40 West 57 Street and 211 West 19 Street, running through June 4, 2005. Another exhibition occurred at Tibor de Nagy Gallery from June 12 to July 25, 2003, at 724 Fifth Avenue in New York, NY 10019. The post-World War II era saw the United States promoting a new style of painting characterized by expansive spaces and functional purposes. Critic Ivor Winters wrote about the morality of poetry in 1937, analyzing free verse in his essay "The Morality of Poetry."
