FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Private Public Gallery in Hudson, New York presents compelling works by 26 artists in The Summer Disaster 2 Show. Curated by gallery owner/ director Christopher Freeman, the exhibition includes figurative and abstract painting as well as photography, sculpture, and drawing. Reprising last year's well-received The Summer Disaster Show, the thematically wide-ranging and materially diverse offerings are loosely bound by a foil of popular movie culture and an undertow of dread. Eschewing the typically laid-back summer group show vibe, The Summer Disaster 2 Show bluntly yet playfully acknowledges the exceptionally anxious mood of the summer of 2024. 

With its clean lines, high ceilings, and open plan, Private Public Gallery is one of the premier exhibition venues in the Hudson Valley. Prior gallery exhibitions have been reviewed by Two Coats of Paint and Chronogram.

Participating artists: Janet Biggs, Richard Bosman, James Casebere, Noa Charuvi, Sharon Core, Deborah Dancy, Jim Denney, Heide Fasnacht, Bruce Gagnier, Kylie Heidenheimer, Marvin Heiferman, Carter Hodgkin, Melora Kuhn, Stephen Maine, Kingsley Parker, Haneline Rogeburg, Marcy Rosewater, Alexander Ross, Michael St. John, Howard Schwartzberg, Marc Swanson, Beth Davila Waldman, Oliver Wasow, William Wegman, Kit White and Viktor Witkowski
