Outside Voices at The Arsenal

NYC Parks invites viewers to discover their inner (please no yelling in the gallery) outside voice in the lustrous oil paintings of artist Sarah Yuster, on view at the Arsenal Gallery in Central Park this Spring.

From Isabella Rosselini, champion of the Ramble in Central Park, to Myisha Humphrey, NYC Parks’s Staten Island nursery operations supervisor, Sarah Yuster: Outside Voices features “in situ” portraits of biological science professionals, ecological conservation activists, and hobbyists. This intersectional and cross-generational presentation of individuals highlights the importance of diversity within environmental stewardship.

The Arsenal Gallery is located at 64th Street & Fifth Avenue inside Central Park, Third Floor of the Arsenal Building. Gallery hours are 9 a.m. -5 p.m., Mon - Fri

Oceanus

Oceanus

Great bodies of water shape the earth and the lives of animals within, on land, and above.

Featuring the work of Michael McWeeney, Donna Napoli-Steele, Captain Bill Schuppman, and Sarah Yuster,  OCEANUS is a collection of these artists’ visceral responses, their personal statements via their work on this enormous, universal entity–the sea.

Photographs and oil paintings with urban interruption of shorelines, industry, and transportation interplay with beach, harbor scenes, and atmospheric, quiet images from the vantage point of sailing.

Sculptures on large and small scale celebrate marine life, nodding towards our human responsibility for stewardship and conservation. Exacting, intricate ceramics of wave patterns have been created by a shipman with intimate knowledge of the world’s oceans, currents, and tides.

The breadth of this presentation echos experiences of the broader populace and perhaps, through aesthetics and ingenuity, piques more interest, expanding margins of engagement.

- Sarah Yuster and Michael McWeeney, Curators

Arc of Twenty Years

On view through December 5, 2021

In the twenty years since 9/11, the way we see ourselves and each other as Americans has taken a marked trajectory spurred by one event.

Examining the “arc” Staten Island has experienced since 9/11, this exhibition offers insight, imagery, and dialogue about the changes on our island after the attacks. The work by the artists honors the memories of the people killed, reflects our collective pain, and illuminates efforts for resolution.

270 Staten Islanders died on September 11, 2001, many first responders. The identity of the Island changed. Not everyone lost a loved one that day, but everyone knew someone who did. We grieved as a community for friends and neighbors.

Staten Island is, in many ways, a microcosm of the United States in terms of ethnicities, economics, and ideologies. An immediate and long-term aftermath rippled through the country. The initial agony of three-thousand innocent lives lost at once, ensuing spasms of fury and fear, were felt intensely here. Empathy, camaraderie, and unity soared for weeks, galvanizing New Yorkers, but quickly dissipated into dissenting factions.

Patriotism rose, but it also formed into nationalism and xenophobia within many communities. Security measures and surveillance grew exponentially. Air travel became an odyssey of checkpoints and restrictions, privacy seemingly became non-existent, as did any public expectation of having it.

Arc of Twenty Years offers reflection, consideration and a wider view of our history.

— Sarah Yuster and Michael McWeeney, Curators
