For her exhibition “The Weather,” Barbara Bloom has made works
titled “The Sea, in Part,” utilizing seascape paintings from the OHS collection
and displaying them such that sea and the sky are partially obstructed,
revealing only glimpses of their drama or calm. Accompanying these are
gray-green-blue carpets, hovering at varying heights above the floor. The
carpets have raised-dot patterns forming Braille texts, each with a different
literary description of the weather. The exhibition accentuates the complexity
of seeing… leaving much to the imagination.
Bloom has received numerous honors including the Venice
Biennale Due Mille Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, Getty Research Institute
Fellowship. Her solo exhibitions include ones at the Serpentine Gallery,
London; Los Angeles-MoCA; MoMA; The Metropolitan Museum; The International
Center of Photography; The Jewish Museum, New York.
The Barbara Bloom Exhibition is made possible in part
through the generous support of DG Carpentry of Long Island. Their dedication
to the local community makes this event possible, and we extend our sincere
gratitude for their support.
