@belzerjudith installing Walking Project: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral in preparation for the opening this week!

Please join us for the opening of this exhibition on Friday, June 26, from 6 - 8 PM. Free and open to the public!

Primarily a painter, Belzer has expanded her practice to include walks, intentional actions during which she collects natural and human-made objects to present on tabletop displays. Walking Project is the first exhibition featuring this strain of Belzer’s production.

The artist, who started her college education at @atbennington , considers her collecting to be “an antidote to our throwaway culture and to nature’s own tendency to shed things like leaves or seeds.” Arranging her findings into intuitive configurations, Belzer finds that objects otherwise considered worthless take on a new or heightened value in relationship with one another—starting “small yet revelatory conversations.”

The Robert Frost Stone House Museum offers an ideal context for Belzer’s explorations, as Frost himself often took what he called “botanizing walks” alone or with companions. One of these walks was the origin of perhaps his best-known poem, “The Road Not Taken.” “Nature is always hinting at us,” Frost wrote in his notebook. “It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.”

Belzer’s exhibition and related programming invite viewers and participants to experience the power of observation in nature, to gain insights into human experience, and to tap into their own creative potential.

This exhibition and related programming are a collaborative project with Bennington College’s Usdan Gallery, made possible with support from The Fund for North Bennington and the Endeavor Foundation through the Endeavor Lab Colleges collaborative. by @belzerjudith

Exhibition Opening for Walking Project: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral
Friday, June 26, 6 - 8 PM

Join us for an evening with artist Judith Belzer, for the opening of her exhibition, Walking Project: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral. This event is free and open to the public.

California-based artist @belzerjudith ‘78 (who started her undergraduate career at Bennington College) walks to collect and curate found objects, both natural and human-made, which she lays out on tabletop displays. “I think of my collection as a sort of antidote to our throwaway culture and to nature’s own tendency to shed things (like leaves, seeds etc.),” she says. “Objects thought to be worthless can regain a certain value when put in a new context, seen in a new relationship with another thing.” These collections find the poetry that exists between combinations of objects and “start small yet revelatory conversations.” An exhibit of Belzer’s objects, Walking Project: Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, will be installed in Summer 2026 at the Museum and run through October.

Robert Frost was an avid walker and often took what he called “Botanizing Walks” alone or with family and friends. His friend Reginald Cook recalled that Frost “walked in the woods every day that he could … It had been a lifelong habit, this walking. Like Wordsworth, he walked and looked, he listened. He knew the bird-calls, the names of the flowers, their patterns of blooming. The life cycles of trees were always of close interest to him. Mushroom, mold, or fungus—everything caught his eye.” One of these walks was the origin of perhaps his best known poem, “The Road Not Taken.”

Through the exhibition and programs, participants and viewers will experience the power of nature and observation to gain a deeper understanding of their own human experiences, the experiences of others, and tap into their creative potential. Frost wrote in his notebook, “Nature is always hinting at us. It hints over and over again. And suddenly we take the hint.”

This exhibition and programming are made possible through support from The Fund for North Bennington and the Endeavor Fund, and are a collaborative project with @usdangallerybennington by @belzerjudith

Oh ya. It’s been about a year since I’ve posted anything but today I’m pleased to let you know that I have a drawing (in the left grouping, upper right) included in a large drawing show @hosfeltgallery opening this Saturday in San Francisco. Check it out!

Drawn to Drawing
July 12 – August 16
Todd Hosfelt combines approximately 200 drawings in an installation designed to reveal thematic and conceptual relationships across time and place. In drawings spanning the globe as well as the 16th to 21st centuries, from European Old Masters to geometric abstraction, from photorealism to drawings made with thread, made by fly larvae, and one drawn both with and on graphite, this is an exploration of the intimacy, immediacy, and pleasure of drawing. by @belzerjudith
