Summer Groove draws inspiration from the infectious rhythm and celebratory spirit of the disco classic of the same name, bringing together works by Andy Burgess, Claudio Dicochea, Ben Durham, Carlos Estévez, Hunt Rettig, Ato Ribeiro, Julianne Swartz, Xawery Wolski and others. Across painting, sculpture, and mixed media, the exhibition explores visual expressions of rhythm, repetition, and movement—echoing the pulse of music and the vibrancy of the summer season. Each artist offers a distinct perspective, creating a dynamic atmosphere of color, pattern, and sensory engagement. Like a favorite summer song, Summer Groove, lingers in the mind, evoking warmth, vitality, and the shared joy of being immersed in the season. |

IN THE ATRIUM: WORKS BY WILLIAM WEGMAN
William Wegman began his career as a painter and was included in such groundbreaking exhibitions as the 1969 When Attitudes Become Form at Bern Kunsthalle and the 1972 Documenta V in Kassel. In the early 1970s, he started making short conceptual videos, some of which featured his elegant Weimaraner dog named Man Ray after the American Dadaist artist and photographer. Then came the iconic photographs of the dog Man Ray and subsequent generations of Weimaraners belonging to the artist. Wegman photographed them partially hidden in landscapes, marooned in everyday human situations, balanced precariously on modernist furniture or costumed as everyone from fashion models to fairy tale characters. Deadpan, endearing, slyly funny and surreal, these images are a mirror, reflecting our human frailties and psychology as well as illustrating the fallible nature of our actions and motivations.
In 1965, Wegman was awarded his BFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art and two years later, he received a MFA in painting from University of Illinois of Urbana-Champaign. He has received many awards, including two awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, a New York Foundation for the Arts Honor and two Guggenheim Fellowships.
