SUMMARY:Unveiling Identity & Transformation: The Pride Show @ ASK
DESCRIPTION:Artists: Jared Bliss\, Gerardo Castro\, Pat Horner\, Francesca Mallows\, Joseph Pine\, Judy Stanger. Curated by Tracy Bouvette \n\n\n\n*artwork by Pat Horner \n\n\n\nThe event\, taking place on Friday\, June 5 @ 7 PM as part of the coordinated Kingston Pride Calendar\, will include light snacks\, wine and refreshments. Following this event\, we will do a pride “stroll” down broadway and across the Rondout Bridge. All are invited!  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nUnveiling Identity & Transformation is a celebration of the many ways identity evolves\, emerges\, and is expressed throughout our lives. Centering LGBTQ+IA voices and experiences\, this curated exhibition explores the deeply personal and collective journeys of self-discovery\, authenticity\, resilience\, and transformation. Through a range of artistic practices and perspectives\, participating artists examine what it means to uncover\, redefine\, and embrace the self in a world that often asks us to fit within predetermined narratives. \n\n\n\nThe works in this exhibition engage with moments of revelation and becoming—those pivotal experiences that shape who we are and who we continue to become. Through visual storytelling\, abstraction\, memory\, portraiture\, and explorations of personal and cultural history\, artists reflect on the emotional\, spiritual\, social\, and political landscapes that influence identity. Some works speak to joy\, liberation\, and visibility\, while others navigate struggle\, transition\, displacement\, and the complexities of claiming space and belonging. Together\, these pieces reveal identity not as a fixed destination\, but as a continual process of growth and unfolding. \n\n\n\nAt its core\, Unveiling Identity & Transformation recognizes the power of art as a space for reflection\, dialogue\, and connection. By amplifying LGBTQ+IA perspectives\, the exhibition creates opportunities for audiences to engage with stories of courage\, vulnerability\, and self-expression. It invites viewers to consider the many layers of identity—how they are formed\, challenged\, concealed\, celebrated\, and transformed over time. \n\n\n\nMore than an exhibition\, Unveiling Identity & Transformation is an invitation to witness and honor the complexities of living authentically. It celebrates the beauty of becoming and the profound act of stepping into one’s truth. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nCurator Bio: Tracy Bouvette is an artist and independent curator with more than twenty years of experience. Their practice includes painting\, furniture making\, sculpture\, and installation work that often engages cultural and environmental questions. Their projects explore topics ranging from sugar in our collective diets—such as in their piece “Candy & Gunpowder”—to invasive plant species in “Rhythms of the Park\,” a project documented on YouTube. Tracy has exhibited work in Denver\, Philadelphia\, Kingston\, and Woodstock\, and has maintained studios in RHINO Denver\, Aston Mills Arts in Aston\, Pennsylvania\, and Habitant Studios in Swarthmore\, Pennsylvania. They have lived near the Woodstock–Saugerties line since 2019. \n\n\n\nAlongside their studio practice\, Tracy organizes exhibitions at the Kingston LGBTQ Community Center. They also facilitate the Center’s Rainbow Lounge\, a weekly discussion group for individuals over the age of 50. In recent years Tracy has curated several exhibitions at the Center\, including “Parts and Pieces\,” “Raise Every Voice\,” and “Living in Color.” These shows have presented work by LGBTQ+ community members and allies across a wide range of ages\, backgrounds\, ethnicities\, genders\, and identities. Through both their artwork and curatorial work\, Tracy seeks to encourage deeper engagement with the diverse and evolving experiences of LGBTQ+ communities—exploring how personal stories\, social pressures\, and cultural shifts shape identity and expression.

SUMMARY:STILLNESS & STORY: A PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNEY
DESCRIPTION:Photographer Jim McCann shares 50 images capturing the landscapes\, wildlife\, architecture\, and people of the Hudson Valley and beyond—quiet meditations on light\, memory\, and place. \n\n\n\nAbout the artist: Jim McCann is a fine art photographer who came to his craft as a second career\, transforming an unexpected job loss into an opportunity to see the world through a new lens. Now in his mid – seventies\, he creates images that celebrate the quiet drama of nature\, the character of historic architecture\, and the changing light of the Northeast – from the Hudson Valley to the 1000 Islands and beyond. \n\n\n\nMcCann’s work is driven by a simple belief: beauty and story live in the everyday\, waiting to be noticed. His photographs are created to last – not only as museum – quality prints\, but as emotional anchors in the spaces they inhabit\, inviting viewers to slow down\, look closer\, and find their own stories in the scene.

SUMMARY:Hidden Realities: Edward Bakst
DESCRIPTION:Edward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\nIn his first solo exhibition at ASK\, internationally acclaimed artist\, Edward Bakst\, presents two interconnected bodies of photographic work that investigate what lies beyond ordinary perception. \n\n\n\nBakst’s Non-Linear Panoramas Series disrupts conventional photographic perspectives by employing a unique in-camera process that transforms a single viewpoint into simultaneous dimensions of time and space. Created entirely within an iPhone without digital stitching\, these images challenge gravity\, perspective\, and expectations\, revealing abstracted realities shaped by emotion\, memory\, and environmental change. \n\n\n\nHis Hidden Spaces Series delves into seemingly ordinary objects\, textures\, and scenes to uncover unexpected worlds concealed within them. Through close observation and digital exploration\, Bakst reveals imagined landscapes\, microscopic universes\, atmospheric forms\, and visual phenomena that emerge from the overlooked details of everyday life. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the series invite viewers to contemplate the hidden structures\, perceptions\, and possibilities that exist beneath the surface of the visible world. \n\n\n\nBakst’s work has been exhibited internationally in New York City\, Milan\, Barcelona\, Seoul\, Australia\, Qatar\, and beyond. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a former Fulbright Specialist\, he has also led imagination workshops around the world and held leadership positions at major institutions including Pratt Institute\, Columbia University\, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

DESCRIPTION:Edward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\nIn his first solo exhibition at ASK\, internationally acclaimed artist\, Edward Bakst\, presents two interconnected bodies of photographic work that investigate what lies beyond ordinary perception. \n\n\n\nBakst’s Non-Linear Panoramas Series disrupts conventional photographic perspectives by employing a unique in-camera process that transforms a single viewpoint into simultaneous dimensions of time and space. Created entirely within an iPhone without digital stitching\, these images challenge gravity\, perspective\, and expectations\, revealing abstracted realities shaped by emotion\, memory\, and environmental change. \n\n\n\nHis Hidden Spaces Series delves into seemingly ordinary objects\, textures\, and scenes to uncover unexpected worlds concealed within them. Through close observation and digital exploration\, Bakst reveals imagined landscapes\, microscopic universes\, atmospheric forms\, and visual phenomena that emerge from the overlooked details of everyday life. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the series invite viewers to contemplate the hidden structures\, perceptions\, and possibilities that exist beneath the surface of the visible world. \n\n\n\nBakst’s work has been exhibited internationally in New York City\, Milan\, Barcelona\, Seoul\, Australia\, Qatar\, and beyond. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a former Fulbright Specialist\, he has also led imagination workshops around the world and held leadership positions at major institutions including Pratt Institute\, Columbia University\, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

SUMMARY:Spotlight Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Edward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Bakst: Hidden Realities \n\n\n\nIn his first solo exhibition at ASK\, internationally acclaimed artist\, Edward Bakst\, presents two interconnected bodies of photographic work that investigate what lies beyond ordinary perception. \n\n\n\nBakst’s Non-Linear Panoramas Series disrupts conventional photographic perspectives by employing a unique in-camera process that transforms a single viewpoint into simultaneous dimensions of time and space. Created entirely within an iPhone without digital stitching\, these images challenge gravity\, perspective\, and expectations\, revealing abstracted realities shaped by emotion\, memory\, and environmental change. \n\n\n\nHis Hidden Spaces Series delves into seemingly ordinary objects\, textures\, and scenes to uncover unexpected worlds concealed within them. Through close observation and digital exploration\, Bakst reveals imagined landscapes\, microscopic universes\, atmospheric forms\, and visual phenomena that emerge from the overlooked details of everyday life. \n\n\n\nTogether\, the series invite viewers to contemplate the hidden structures\, perceptions\, and possibilities that exist beneath the surface of the visible world. \n\n\n\nBakst’s work has been exhibited internationally in New York City\, Milan\, Barcelona\, Seoul\, Australia\, Qatar\, and beyond. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a former Fulbright Specialist\, he has also led imagination workshops around the world and held leadership positions at major institutions including Pratt Institute\, Columbia University\, and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
