Uncharted: American Abstraction in the Information Age January 28-June 19, 2020 Art, science, and technology have become increasingly intermingled. The distinctions between the disciplines are less clear, heading into unknown territory where all things are possible. The nine artists included in the exhibition, drawn from the membership of the American Abstract Artists organization, explore some of the unexpected ways that math, science, and technology are transforming our perception of the visual arts. Artists in the exhibition include James O. Clark, John Goodyear, Lynne Harlow, Daniel G. Hill, Gilbert Hsiao, Dorothea Rockburne, Irene Rousseau, James Seawright, and Patricia Zarate.

Funding has been provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
