Hudson
In the words of curator Katharine Dufault regarding her exhibition concept: "Janus is the double-faced Roman god who looks backward and forward simultaneously. This duality evokes the idea of being on threshold, standing at the entrance to a portal between worlds. It suggests a moment of transition, where the boundaries between realities blur, offering a glimpse into magical realms. It is, perhaps, and opportunity to perceive or even embrace something extraordinary, a fleeting moment of connection to the mysterious and the sublime.
Artists have been selected for their ability to transport viewers to new and
imaginative places. Through abstract paintings that capture a sense of movement,
photographs offering modern interpretations of the theme, or sculptures that allude
to hidden worlds, each piece serves as a portal. These artworks invite the viewer
to step through and explore. They challenge perceptions and ignite the
imagination, offering a bridge between the tangible and the intangible. Each artist’s
vision contributes to a larger narrative of discovery and transformation. By
engaging with these works, the audience is encouraged to embrace the unknown
and to see the world—and themselves—in a new light."
