Address Earth Exhibitions Celebrate Planet Earth
This is our second post-pandemic physical exhibition under the auspices of the Inspiration Arts Group International. The ‘Address Earth’ exhibition features a collection of voices from 29 artists from our group, to at once celebrate our planet earth and to use our art to address the critical global issues that affect our world and environment. We are at a critical juncture in the history of our planet where recognizing our common interests and shared well-being are vital. As artists, we have the ability to speak to these deeper truths and bring our vision to the wider world. This exhibition celebrates varied aspects of the planet home we all share. Artists will address ecology, sustainability, climate change, endangered species, clean water, deforestation, humanity – or any other subject.
Premiere of Dissolving Landscape, a Video by Rosalind Schneider

Saturday October 14 @ 3:00 PM
Hudson Valley Museum of Modern Art, 1701 Main Street, Peekskill, New York
An illusive landscape materializes slowly revealing itself.
Dissolving Landscape
The absence of presence as a void in reality.
Fog envelopes the trees.
An elusive landscape materializes, shifting into focus slowly revealing itself.
The negative becomes positive.
Reocurring images float.
The garden is transformed anew.

Rosalind Schneider
Rosalind Schneider seeks to create work that transcends its source to form a new reference to a visionary landscape. The power of the natural environment is a continuing source of inspiration. They are expanded visions of the earth. She seeks sites that carry a primeval power.
Schneider was the first artist to show film as art at the Hirshhorn Museum following a solo show of films at Whitney Museum. Exhibitions of film, video, digital prints and paintings include the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Islip Museum, Chelsea Museum, Hudson River Museum, Sculpture Center, and MOMA (Carte Blanche: Women Writing the Language of Cinema). Her 16mm films are currently being restored by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and will be part of the film archive at the Academy Museum.
