Posted @withregram • @np_fpa Collective Consciousness, which opens Feb. 6 at the @dorskymuseum , is an exhibition of work by SUNY New Paltz Art Department faculty. The title of the exhibition refers to the sense of community at the university and the faculty’s ability to come together for each other and their students during this difficult time.

The exhibition includes metalwork, ceramics, photography, printmaking, fiber art, film, painting, drawing, and several sculptural installations by 21 members of our #npart family: Robin Arnold, Michael Asbill, Lynn Batchelder, Bryan Czibesz, Aurora De Armendi, James Fossett, Andrea Frank, Matthew Friday, Anne Galperin, Kathy Goodell, Andrea Kantrowitz, Rena Leinberger, Myra Mimlitsch-Gray, Aaron Nelson, Itty S.

Out of the DEP Archives - April 23, 1907 - In 1907, the Board of Water Supply was beginning its efforts to bring clean water from the Catskills to NYC as efficiently as possible through “rough and inaccessible country.” To determine the path of the Catskill Aqueduct, they conducted many tests, including hiring a contractor to dig this experimental tunnel in the Shawangunk Mountains near High Falls. Little was known at the time about the drilling and tunneling qualities of Shawangunk grit; this test showed that the rock was very hard and should be avoided. Shawangunk conglomerate - the light grey rock that makes up most of the ridge in this area - is regarded as some of the hardest rock in the world.
