For more in-depth visits, we invite guests to book a guided tour.The Disappearance of Landscape: OakleyvilleAugust 29 – March 20, 2027This exhibition investigates the practices of five artists who lived and worked between New York City and the sparsely populated Fire Island community of Oakleyville from the mid-1960s to present day: Sheyla Baykal (1944–1997), Peter Hujar (1934–1987), Matthew Leifheit (b. 1988), Paul Thek (1933–1988), and Ann Wilson (1931-2023).Featuring a selection of paintings, photographs, and sculptures made by the artists while in Oakleyville, the exhibition recognizes the environment as a collaborator and dictating force in artists' work, rather than strictly a subject to be represented or a site upon which artists impose ideology. Against this backdrop, The Disappearance of Landscape: Oakleyville reflects on Fire Island as both a site of artistic community and a fragile environment increasingly under threat, foregrounding the role of landscape not simply as a subject of representation, but as an active force in the creation of art.Curated by Noah Khoshbin & Marcelo Gabriel Yáñez.Support for this exhibition is provided by the Robert D.L.
