Meet ArtTable at the New-York Historical Society for a tour of Beatrice Glow: When Our Rivers Meet, co-led by the artist and Rebecca Klassen, New-York Historical’s Curator of Material Culture. This Artist Talk is generously supported by the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.

About the exhibition: Drawing on research into New-York Historical’s vast Museum and Library collections, artist-in-residence Beatrice Glow reckons with the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam from local and global perspectives. Working in conversation with a group of culture bearers, artists, and scholars whose heritages were impacted by the Dutch colonial enterprise, Glow is creating a series of seven parade float maquettes that envision an alternative commemoration. The small VR-sculpted and 3D-printed sculptures will be complemented by Glow’s interpretations of decorative arts collection objects, such as embroidered textiles and gilded baby rattles that reflect ideas of social and cultural power.
Project participants: Raul Balai, Tecumseh Ceaser, Deborah Jack, Nancy Jouwe, Chief Vincent Mann, Michaeline Picaro Mann, Wim Manuhutu, Brent Stonefish, Teresa Vega

Your reservation includes admission to the New-York Historical Society prior to the tour. The Museum is open from 11:00-5:00 on Tuesdays.
