Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY, presents "Between here and home," a group exhibition running from May 22 through July 12, with an opening reception on May 23. The show features works by Fred Cohen, Frank DePietro, Deb Lawrence, Olan Quattro, and ransome, exploring the concept of home as an evolving construct shaped by memory, material, and experience. The exhibition draws on the Welsh idea of hiraeth—a longing for a lost or imagined home—and includes paintings, collages, and mixed media works that reflect each artist's personal engagement with place, interior space, and inherited histories.
This exhibition matters because it reframes a universal theme—home—through a contemporary, multi-perspective lens, emphasizing how artists use materiality and personal narrative to address dislocation and belonging. By bringing together five artists with distinct practices, the show highlights the ongoing relevance of place-based art in a time of global mobility and cultural flux. It also underscores the role of small, regional galleries like Carrie Haddad in fostering community dialogue and supporting artists who work outside major metropolitan centers.
