BERKSHIRES & BEYOND Street paintings, a series of rainy-day street scenes of his hometown. As a landscape painter, Young is always attuned to light. One rainy day, however, offered revelation: “I noticed how the rain on my windshield transformed the buildings, cars and people into lively, dancing, jewel-like ribbons of color that energetically danced across the glass. Fascinated, I turned off the wipers and stopped in the middle of street, took out my camera and shot through the rain soaked windshield.” The result was the first of his Hudson Warren Street series. The exhibit also showcases Young’s virtuosity in figurative work, landscapes, and seascapes. Swing back to West Stockbridge wearing your most comfortable shoes, to best enjoy the Turn Park Art Space. This brand new outdoor

sculpture park plus recreational space is built into the Berkshires landscape, and opens to the public on May 14, boasting hills, meadows, a lake and a 65-foot vertical drop offering breathtaking views of a former quarry. Turn Park Art Space combines a sculpture park, exhibition venues and a stone amphitheater for outdoor performances. Conceived and founded by Igor Gomberg and Katya Brezgunova as an art space and a place for exploration for both children and adults, the park showcases contemporary architecture and sculpture. A collaborative project designed by Moscow-based architect Alexander Konstantinov and New York/Massachusetts architect Grigori Fateyev, the park was created to establish an ongoing dialogue between visitors, nature and art. Start
at the Gate House, a modern structure inspired by the Berkshire Hills, and follow paths that wind through fields and woodlands and then lead past the amphitheater and the lake. Later stages of the project will include site-specific children’s playgrounds and pavilions that house a gallery, a restaurant, a gift shop and a floating dock. In addition to a unique collection of outdoor sculptures scattered across the landscape, ongoing art exhibitions and temporary installations, Turn Park also programs live music, contemporary theater and performance. To enjoy another outdoor sculpture installation, go east to the arts-centric city of Easthampton and then gaze ahead, in time, to August and mark your calendar.
