ABOUT THE ARTISTS
In and Out of Lineage: Tracing Artistic Heritage Through SUNY New Paltz Faculty
The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz
September 7 — December 8, 2024
Guest Curated by Eva Zanardi
The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz proudly presents “In and Out of Lineage: Tracing Artistic Heritage Through SUNY New Paltz Faculty”, an exhibition
featuring artwork by 20 members of the SUNY New Paltz Art and Graphic Design Faculty that explores the symbiotic relationship between creating, teaching, and mentoring.
“In and Out of Lineage” will open September 7 and remain on view until December 8, 2024. The exhibition is guest curated by Eva Zanardi.
“In and Out of Lineage” considers the profound connection between artistic expression and learned techniques. The exhibition explores whether traditions are preserved or transcended, and examines whether creative influence follows a linear path from teachers to students or manifests through complex, networks of exchange that defy simple categorizations. “In and Out of Lineage” invites viewers to consider the intricate webs of pedagogy and lineage evident in the artwork of SUNY New Paltz faculty.
“Invisible threads that bind teachers and learners weave a narrative of bidirectional knowledge transfer,” says guest curator Eva Zanardi “Far from being mere conduits, artist-educators actively engage in intergenerational dialogue where information flows freely and enriches everyone.”
By including reflections on artistic lineage from each of the exhibiting artists, “In and Out of Lineage” reveals how they simultaneously influence and are influenced by future generations of artists. This exhibition is a testament to the transformative power of education and the enduring impact of those who create, teach, and inspire.
