Elevator for Grain, Reinvented for Art
By Randy Kennedy
Published: July 28, 2009 "WASSAIC, N.Y. — When Sally Zunino’s husband and his business partner decided five years ago to buy the old grain and feed elevator here, a crumbling cathedral of agriculture that was raining siding onto the Metro-North tracks and the tiny hamlet below, Ms. Zunino would not even agree to go see it."
"But many tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of repairs later, the rambling old elevator, known as Maxon Mills, has turned out to be a different kind of folly, closer to Merriam-Webster’s definition No. 5 of that word: 'an often extravagant picturesque building' used in the service of 'a fanciful taste.' "
"A rare survivor among the stately wood-crib elevators that once towered over rural America, this 105-foot-tall structure has been reincarnated as one of the strangest new homes for contemporary art in the Northeast, a place that feels like a Lower East Side gallery transplanted into a treehouse, redolent of damp pine and the animal feed that once filled the spaces."
"This summer's first exhibition in the elevator, 'Outside In,' which ended last week, was organized by Sally Zunino, a clothing designer, and her friends Liz Parks, a Manhattan art consultant, and Sally Morgan, a Chelsea dealer."

Northwest Corner Journal's article on Maxon Mills in Wassaic, NY and its current exhibition "Outside In"
July 2, 2009
"Mill Gets New Lease on Life as an Emerging Arts Space"
By: Kathryn Boughton WASSAIC, N.Y.-In 2004, Wassaic residents didn't know what they would do with the crumbling Maxon Mills site. The granary, which incorporates part of an old Greek Revival hotel where workers once lived, is reputed to be one of the oldest grain elevators in the nation. Five years ago, it was under consideration for state and national historical registries, but pressure was building in the town for the structure to be destroyed because of its perilous condition.
..."Outside In" pays homage to its former granary exhibition space, where grains were once brought from local fields for storage and feed processing, its organizers explain. "It's a very unusual place," said Sally Zunino, who with Liz Parks and Sally Morgan of Morgan Lehman Gallery in Salisbury, curated the show.

Drawing Center includes Franklin Evans |

Morgan Lehman Gallery artist Franklin Evans has been included in the latest edition of the New Selections show at the Drawing Center in Soho. The show, titled "LineAge: Selections Fall 2005", is always hotly anticipated, as it has been the launchpad for artists such as Julie Mehretu and Shahzia Sikander whose work has gone on to be shown in major institutions and galleries.
Franklin has created a series of drawings that he calls a family. Each drawing gives "birth" to the next with an element from one repeating in the next, making it the "child" of the first. The series is exhibited together at the Drawing Center as a family tree, with the connections spelled out for us on the wall with lines of colored tape, pen, paint and pencil that explain the visual evolution of the "family".
The show will be on view through October 29th. For more information about the Drawing Center and a press release, please visit www.drawingcenter.org. |
