Sunday, September 20th at 3pm- Rain or shine ✨ 🌧️ Just in time for the equinox, ISPC will be hosting alumni Simone Kearney @simonekearneystudio & Bianca Stone @biancastone for a poetry reading in the meadow! Cofounder @artist.cjensen will contribute as well. Due to the private nature of artist retreat, we rarely have public events at ISPC! But thrilled to make a little exception… 🍂 🌾 🎵

Come enjoy a wander to each of the sculptural additions to the meadow from our 2026 sculpture fellows, read poems together, and enjoy light refreshments in this liminal time of year between summer and fall.

Plan to wear walking shoes, bring a poem or song to share, and carpool if you can (we have limited parking on site!). More details will be forthcoming.

Please RSVP to hello@insitupolyculture.org for directions and to confirm attendance.

A few glimmers from my time at @in_situ_polyculture this past June - two week artist residency in Westminster, Vermont. ✨️

Fridge magnet poetry, homemade pizza, fields of fireflies, cold water creek swimming, dancing dancing dancing, writing writing writing, CI studio explorations at @_thefieldcenter, outdoor showering under stars, ballads by the fire, farm stands, hammock laying, paper making, movie watching, sweaty deck yoga, midnight yurt conversations and on and on.

What a gift for time to slow down in this way. Thank you @artist.cjensen and @owenschuh for the space you hold. An absolute dream to be and make on these lands. Thank you for having me. ♡

Thank you to my brilliant cohort; you all are absolute magic. @allisondebritz @mikataga_ @simonekearneystudio @apekurovsky @motylpottery

The show’s title “Favorite Stone” is in conversation with the Surrealist French poet Andre Breton’s essay, “The Language of Stones,” when he writes: “I’ve often thought those (stones) that, during a group search, assign themselves, by their qualities of substance or structure, to each individual’s attention, are those that offer the maximum affinity to their particular constitution. It seems certain to me that, on the same walk, two beings, unless they resemble each other in some strange sense, could not possibly pick up the same stones, so true is it that we find only what meets a deep need, even if such a need could solely be satisfied in a completely symbolic way.” Breton proposes a relationship to the material world that is full of intimacy and revelation. A stone might resonate with us. Or we might gravitate to one stone as opposed to another, like we might to a particular person in a crowd. They speak to us, for some reason. And stones speak to us – or at least they do for those who want to listen. They show us something about ourselves, and tell us about that which is timeless and beyond us.

On view through February 14th. The gallery is located at 48 Hester Street on the Lower East Side. Gallery hours are Thursday–Sunday, 12–6 PM, and by appointment. For more information, please contact info@mypetram.com.

The saffron, the blur, the water, the wasp, the slope, the distant, the lugubrious, the violent, the wet, the
impasse, the holy, the fruit, the hearing, the angels: burning, alive, knotted, jarring, provoking, deranged,
bleeding, oblivious, succumbed, left, flowing, 2024
