Night & Day

On View: May 4 – June 29, 2023

The art installation Night & Day by Melanie Vote is a revisiting of her previous work from the Washhouse series, infused with a new twist. Inspired by a small work painted during the pandemic, this collection of pieces explores the themes of place, time, and impermanence. Through the juxtaposition of the tattered facade of an outbuilding of rural Iowa flooded with daylight, dropped at twilight in a New York City park, Vote challenges our perceptions of space and time. The installation invites us to consider the significance of place and chronology in our lives, and how these concepts shape our understanding of the world around us.
