The artists collaborated with knitting groups and individuals located throughout the Hudson Valley on this project.

PEEKSKILL PROJECT V @ HVCCA Video Room:

Itziar Barrio: 'You Could Have Had It All'

Itziar Barrio: "You Could Have Had It All" May 12 - June 2

In this multi-layered digital video, Itziar Barrio takes a line borrowed from popular music as the departure point for an elaborate exploration of performance, language, politics, and sexuality. Drawing its title from the chorus of British pop star Adele’s 2011 smash single, “Rolling In The Deep,” the work pays homage to the global appeal of Adele’s music while inquiring into the myth-like notion of total fulfillment.

BODY AS LANDSCAPE

Maria Driscoll McMahon: "Grief"
