Have I impressed upon you how pleased we are that wellness programs now continue year-round? Picture this Saturday morning: a session of Tai Chi, then a light lunch in The Café and a mosey over to Glyndor Gallery for artist talks that focus on the richly diverse work in the fall group show. Or this Sunday morning at Wave Hill: Yoga or Meditation, followed by a light lunch and then a lively cooking demo with local beekeeper and mead-maker Roger Repohl. How lovely to know that rain or shine, warm or chilly, those wellness sessions await your weekend mornings.
Choi’s sculptural installation in Wave Hill’s fall show, Tandem Pursuits, uses antique silverware, antique chain mail, metal and string to create a school of fish swimming in the mouth of the fireplace in south gallery. It’s just one of many interesting takes on the connection between armor and fish that is at the heart of the show.
