Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries Gallery
199 Main St., Beacon, NY 12508 Through March 8: Ghosts of the Gulf is an exhibit of strikingly vivid images of marine species collected in the Gulf of Mexico after the 2010 Deep Water Horizons disaster. Through the colorful art and biology of Brandon Ballengée, these once-common species seem to rise as apparitions from the depths, haunted icons of contemporary environmental chaos. March 14-October 4: “Following Rivers,” No Water No Life Founding Director Alison M. Jones combines the power of photography and science, connecting critical water issues to images captured in 22 expeditions to river basins in North America and Africa. It is a story of people. On the banks of our rivers we raise families, grow food, do laundry, fish, swim, celebrate and relax. Compelling groupings of giclee photographs with informational captioning will illustrate that what we do in our communities impacts the availability, quality and usage impacts of our fresh water resources. Reception: Saturday, March 14, 5 p.m. Hours: Mon.-Thurs., 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Fri., 9 a.m.-1 p.m.; Sat., 11 a.m.-4 p.m. (2nd Sat. until 8 p.m.) Information: 845.765.2721; http://www.bire.org/events

Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center
College Center, Main Building, Vassar College, 124 Raymond Ave., Poughkeepsie, NY 12604 Through March 29: “XL: Large-Scale Paintings from the Permanent Collection.” The ever-expanding measurements of paintings has been a topic of interest since the mid-twentieth century when New York School painters first pushed the boundaries of museum walls to their limits. In 1947, at the height of the Abstract Expressionist era, the Museum of Modern Art mounted an exhibition called Large-Scale Modern Paintings; to qualify for inclusion, paintings had to measure at least six feet in one direction. Today, a similar set of criteria has been applied to the Art Center’s permanent collection to arrive at a group of monumental paintings that are at once impressive and daunting. These larger-than-life canvases invite an extraordinary visual experience in which the viewer is immersed in the field of painting. XL, which includes work by Kevin Appel,
Roger Brown, Nancy Graves, Joyce Kozloff, Alfred Leslie, Agnes Martin, Joan Mitchell, and Jules Olitski, is a testament to the enduring visual power of mural-sized painting. Hours: Tues., Wed., Fri. & Sat., 10 a.m.5 p.m.; Thurs., 10 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun., 1-5 p.m. Information: 845.437.5237; http://fllac.vassar.edu
