Last Chance for Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House

summerhouse
This week is the last chance to check out the exhibition, “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House,” at Olana.

The 1886 Plan of Olana is highly accurate, however, the plans contain a mysterious structure labeled “Summer House”. According the the Olana site, “Summer houses were common in early American gardens and public landscapes, yet there is no documentary evidence about the style or form of this structure at Olana”. The exhibition asked 21 architects and landscape architects to imagine what the summer house and it’s environs might look like, then sketch those ideas, much in the way Frederic Church used sketches to convey his design and architectural ideas. Each designer was free to explore and combine historic and contemporary design themes.

‘Look Again’ Exhibit at Chatham Bookstore

The Chatham Bookstore is currently exhibiting a show titled “Look Again”. The collection features works by the photographer, Wendy Noyes, and painter, Jeremy Oberle.

The artists selected their works for this exhibit to invite the viewer to take a new look at the familiar environments of plants, trees, and landscapes that we encounter all the time. Jeremy Sherer Oberle exhibits her black ink and colored pencil drawings as well as paintings in acrylic, watercolor, and gouache. Wendy Noyes’ black and white and color photographs of remarkably similar subjects offer a conversation between the two.
