SUMMARY:Fall Exhibitions Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Trustees of The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey cordially invite you to a special opening of our fall exhibitions on Friday\, September 19\, from 6:30–8:30 PM. \nThe evening will feature light snacks\, and refreshments will be served. A special sound activation by Joshua Marquez will begin at 7:30 PM. A daylight hours preview is also available from 4–5 PM. No refreshments will be served at the daylight hours preview. Register for the free event here. \nVACNJ brings ecology into focus across three exhibitions that move from the material excess of daily life to the marshes of our coast to re-mapped geographies. Featuring artists whose work engages with environments in and around New Jersey\, these projects consider how shifting conditions shape lives and invite visitors to connect more deeply with the ecosystems that surround them. \nAll That Consumes Me\, on view in the Main Gallery\, brings together Angeles Cossio\, Carolyn Lambert\, Joshua Marquez\, Lina Puerta\, and Marion Wilson\, whose use of found and reclaimed materials examines how everyday overconsumption impacts the world around us. \nIn the Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery\, Cecile Chong’s upcoming installation\, _other Nature – Marshland Tales\, continues her exploration of the fraught relationship between humans and the environment. In this new iteration\, Chong turns her attention to New Jersey’s wetlands\, with a particular focus on cattails as both material and metaphor. Her research traces the ecological and cultural significance of these reed-like plants\, which have long been integral to the region’s terrain. \nThe Marité & Joe Robinson Strolling Gallery I features This Was Always a Place\, a solo exhibition by Andrew Harrison. Through archives\, maps\, and embodied movement\, Harrison explores altered geographies—dwelling between rupture and repair—and argues for memory\, myth\, and imagination as essential tools for reshaping the world.
