Now on view | 𝙉𝙖𝙮𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙠𝙚, "𝙃𝙖𝙪𝙣𝙩" 𝘽𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙑𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙧𝙚

“𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵” draws on the history of the ornamental hermit, an eighteenth- and nineteenth-century novelty in which a wealthy landowner hired a man to live alone in a humble dwelling on their estate for a term of seven years. Ornamental hermits had to remain visible to visitors and follow a strict set of rules for the length of their contract. They were often forbidden to speak or cut their hair, and they were understood to perform a fantasy of a simpler life. The ornamental hermit was the precursor to the garden gnome, a mythological earth dweller known to foment mischief in the mountains, woods, and mines.

Victorya Spectre, the figure named in the work’s title, is Blake’s alter ego. Spectre appears as a cross between a sibyl and a cryptid, a mysterious creature dispensing fragments of insight from their studio/nest.

Central to this project is the question: how can we produce conditions that allow us to thrive and to sustain ourselves and one another? Victorya has answers, but they may not be the right ones.

“𝘏𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵”: 𝘉𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘢 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘦 is on view in the Newmark Gallery until January 10, 2027. The exhibition in the Sculpture & Architecture Park is on view until the fall of 2030.

Our final architecture opening of the year has commenced, but the three new commissions we welcomed to our Architecture Meadows this season are just putting down roots.

We’re grateful to everyone who came for a first look, most recently at Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO: 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 this past weekend, and to our community, whose curiosity and presence make every opening a true celebration.

We’re also grateful to our sound collaborators for providing their musical responses to the works; Lita Vinueza (.systems) of Sonic Liberation Devices () at the 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 opening, and works by Jason Treuting (), Donnacha Dennehy (), performed by Ji Hye (), Sō Percussion (), in addition to works and performances by Christian Quiñones (), and Charlotte Mundy () at the ᗩ ᗪOᗰE ᗯITᕼ ᖴOᑌᖇ OᑕᑌᒪI and 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒐 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂 opening.

𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 (photo 1)
A newly commissioned work from the Mexico City-based, internationally recognized architecture practice Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO (), 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 embraces impermanence, participation, and the quiet transformation that comes with age.

𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒐 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂 (photo 2)
Conceived as a cross-continental commission between Art Omi and Accra’s Limbo Museum (), 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒐 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒘𝒂 is a two-part, site-specific installation led by architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer of TAELON7 (). It originally debuted in Accra in early March 2026 before making its way for a new iteration in the Hudson Valley.

TOMORROW! 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙗𝙖𝙤 𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙐𝘿𝙄𝙊: 𝘽𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝 🪏

Join us tomorrow afternoon, 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟰, 𝟮–𝟱 𝗣𝗠 to celebrate the recently commissioned architectural work by Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO (), 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩, which will conclude Art Omi's 2026 exhibition programming.

𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 has been constructed directly in the architecture field using locally sourced rammed earth, a historic technique that is rarely used in this region. Its five columns embrace impermanence: as the seasons shift, the earth will erode back into the ground, visibly marking the passage of time. 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 emphasizes the idea, both in its name and its construction, that we do not control nature; we are merely a small part of it. This architecture is not meant to last, but to belong.

A 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘇𝗮 (.systems) at the site of the installation will take place 𝗮𝘁 𝟯 𝗣𝗠. Vinueza, an Ecuadorian-American anti-disciplinary artist and founder of Sonic Liberation Devices (SLDs) (), will respond to 𝘉𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩 in the open air using custom-designed electronic instruments.

Make your way through the Sculpture & Architecture Park to the far right corner of the Green Meadow, and you will find the protruding earthly columns at the bottom of the hill—whether through the Yellow Woods, or from the Purple Meadow, there is no wrong way to get there!

𐂃 Placed against the edge of the woods in the Silver Meadow, Self () describes 𝙋𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙚𝙙 as a "monument built in homage to the collective foremothers of contemporary America.” A visit while the leaves are changing will make the experience of viewing Self’s work all the more colorful, with the vibrancy of the sculpture accentuated by the warm tones of the falling foliage.

Now on view | 𝙏𝘼𝙀𝙇𝙊𝙉7: 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖

𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖, a two-part site-specific installation by TAELON7 (), led by architect Juergen Benson-Strohmayer () was conceived as a cross-continental commission between Art Omi and Accra's Limbo Museum. Following the project's debut in Accra earlier this year, the piece now sits in Art Omi's 120-acre Sculpture & Architecture Park in New York's Hudson Valley.

Across its two presentations, 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙤 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙬𝙖 asks how architecture can hold space for gathering, exchange, and collective life in radically different geographic and cultural settings.

The work takes its name and its premise from engawa, the Japanese architectural threshold that mediates between interior and exterior, private and public. In Accra, the installation was woven into the skeletal, unfinished concrete structure of Limbo Museum, turning an incomplete building—and the land around it—into a setting for use, care, and encounter.

Modular, lightweight components, including oversized daybeds inspired by the woven beds found on Ghanaian construction sites, were built from steel profiles and salvaged billboard strips, drawing farmers, caretakers, and museum visitors into shared use of the space.
