Since the Airport terminal opened in June 1998, the following exhibitions have been featured in the Albany International Airport Gallery on the third floor of the main terminal:

2007 Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region
May 24 – September 30, 2007

Since 1936, the Mohawk Hudson Regional has been sponsored and alternately hosted by the Albany Institute of History & Art and the University Art Museum, University at Albany. The Albany International Airport Gallery is pleased to host this 71st annual exhibition, which has become a barometer of contemporary art as well as a means of support for emerging and established artists in our community.

Each year a juror is invited to select work for the Regional, which gives every exhibition a distinct look and point of view. Leah Douglas, founding Director and Curator of the Philadelphia Airport’s Exhibitions Program, has, since 1998, sought to reflect and advance the art and culture of that area. Her familiarity with the challenges involved in presenting art in public places made Leah a natural fit for jurying this year’s Regional, and she selected 40 artists from among the 191 who submitted slides for consideration.

Natural Selection: An Exhibition Featuring the Pember Library and Museum
November 20, 2006 – April 22, 2007

Artists include: Sam Easterson, Eckhard Etzold, Laura Moriarty, Leslie Parke, The Playful Maidens of Spray and Eric Slayton.

	Installation view

The Art & Culture Program at Albany International Airport is pleased to present Natural Selection, an exhibition that takes a step back in time through an early twentieth century collection of specimens and curiosities from The Pember Library and Museum of Natural History, together with works of contemporary art that reflect a fascination with observing, preserving and reinventing the natural world.

An avid naturalist since his boyhood, Franklin Pember had already begun to amass the collection that would become the basis for the library and museum in Granville, New York that bears his name. During Pember and Darwin’s time, the urgency to observe, collect, name and record creatures from all parts of the globe was intense, and fed by a sense that demystifying the web of nature would lead us a step closer to understanding our own place within it.

Mingled with Pember’s collection are works of contemporary art that reflect an absorption with natural phenomena that has persisted since our earliest days as humans. We observe the world, quite literally, from a bird’s eye view in Sam Easterson’s ‘bird cams,’ or consider instead the fictional postures of life behind museum glass through Eckhard Etzold’s paintings and Eric Slayton’s photographs.

Laura Moriarty shapes encaustic and pigment into sculptures that resemble rare fossils and minerals, while Leslie Parke’s renditions of butterflies and moths recall both a naturalist’s attention to detail and a preparator’s method of display. Upon the Gallery walls are stenciled patterns of birds, insects and plants. Hand-cut and applied by the artist collective, the Playful Maidens of Spray, these images integrate a Victorian design sensibility with present-day spray painting techniques and ideology.

Michael Oatman’s Model Citizens: Giant Size
August 11 – October 22, 2006

Model Citizens was an exhibition and documentary video that united artists, model makers and hobbyists in the vicinity of four urban centers: Cambridge, MA, New Haven, CT, Bellows Falls, VT and the Capital Region of NY. Curator and artist Michael Oatman developed the idea for Model Citizens four years ago, in response to issues that confronted him in his own work. He questioned what prompted others, be they artists or hobbyists or professional model makers, to work such long hours on complex, technically demanding and patience-trying work.

Saugerties artist Roger Bisbing lined up 2-inch tall putty-colored folding chairs on parquet or tile floors with tiny folding tables in arrangements that evoked PTA and town council meetings, bingo nights, or group therapy sessions. George Bossarte’s legendary Cambridge MA “Erector Set Parties” produced the blimp, Ferris wheel and other models featured. The American Precision Museum, in Windsor VT, which boasts the “largest collection of historically significant tools in the nation,” contributed, among other wonderful models, 34 miniature mechanic’s and machinist’s tools fashioned to tiny, gleaming perfection. Jeff Brower’s highly detailed licensed figures for such films as Star Wars, Mars Attacks and Hellraiser could be seen here, along with his study models and master molds, revealing a glimpse into the professional modeler’s production process. Spanning large-scale contemporary art installations, like Danny Goodwin’s 12 mock surveillance devices suspended by clusters of helium balloons, to Erin Hennessy’s dozens of meticulously hand-cut snowflakes, Model Citizens was an exploration of the work and stories of those who spend part of their day as giants.

Saving Troy: A Year with Firefighters and Paramedics in a Battered City
January 15 – February 19, 2006

	Windows and Helmets William B. Patrick, no year given photograph

This exhibition consisted of photographs taken by author William B. Patrick during the year he spent documenting the Troy Fire Department’s 1st Platoon for his book, Saving Troy: A Year with Firefighters and Paramedics in a Battered City. Saving Troy is a compelling and unique chronicle that takes the reader not only inside the action on fire and emergency medical calls, but transports us to the emotional core of the desperate situations it recreates. In this exhibition, as in his book, Patrick documented the struggle of those suddenly and tragically afflicted within a city that is fighting for revival itself. The photographs from that year reveal not only the misfortunes of a city’s people – their accidents, fires and violent tribulations – but also offer a wide-angle view of how courage, generosity and self-sacrifice can prevail even within the most dangerous and seemingly futile situations.

Precious Little
March 6 - January 8, 2006

Installation view

This exhibition of objects and contemporary art ranged in scale from simply small to minuscule. Curated by Sharon Bates, Director of Albany International Airport's Art & Culture Program, this exhibition featured works loaned by regional museums and private collectors as well as video, photography, sculpture, painting and drawing by six contemporary artists.

Visitors were enticed to peer at renderings of real and imagined worlds, such as artist Randall Sellers' 1.5 " x 2" graphite landscapes, or Lynn Talbot's still life paintings that include great masters' works in miniature. A preoccupation with the multiplicity of tiny things was evident in Devorah Sperber's Reflections on a Lake - a pictorial landscape made up of 5,760 spools of thread. So too in Lauren Fensterstock's series of butterfly wing Tondos, and in pieces of micro-mosaic jewelry, whose barely distinguishable tesserae blended into elaborate images.

Changes in scale lent a fictive quality to many of the objects in this exhibition; things that we knew should accommodate us no longer did. A chair, a loom, a dresser, a hearse - all acquired new meaning when incongruously small. A custom made Tiffany Lamp illuminated the exhibition as well, with its 36 interchangeable glass slides of birds and other wildlife.

Other highlights of the exhibition included sculptural works by Henry Moore, Joe Fig, Yinka Shonibare, Jarvis Rockwell and a video installation by Kathleen Brandt.

NOW YOU SEE IT
August 16, 2004 - February 6, 2005

This exhibition was an exploration of our fascination with magic, illusion and transformation, presented in collaboration with the Society of American Magicians. Featured were finely crafted artifacts and apparatus from the collection of Bob Connors that were used by conjurers, psychic mediums, fortune tellers and magicians for more than a century. Video performances by magicians Vinny Grosso and David MacDonald animated the mystifying apparatus that surrounded them. Lithographic posters from the New York State Museum were stunning tributes to the drama of turn of the century theatrical magic.

Woven among these curious and compelling objects were works of contemporary art. William R. Bergman's A Shaker Sonnet was an eerie interpretation of an encounter with a Shaker spirit. Aaron Holz' fascination with the camera obscura led to the design of one especially for this exhibition. Steve Hollinger's ever-watchful Sentinel was unsettling, as it followed visitors with its single moving eye. Larry Kagan's We Were Talking was a seemingly simple meeting of light and steel that yields a detailed shadow of human form. Michael Oatman's Syzygy is a thrilling through-the-rabbit-hole ride of video and sound that suggests a porthole to another world. Janet Sorensen's painting series, Resplendent Remainder and Into Thin Air were carefully rendered moments of discovery and revelation.

ARTISTS IN THE STUDIO 30 YEARS AT THE MILLAY COLONY FOR THE ARTS
January 26 - August 1, 2004

Artists in the Studio, Installation View

Positivity, Jeanette Fintz, 2003, Oil, acrylic on canvas

Artists in the Studio was a juried exhibition of visual artists, writers and composers who were former Colony residents.

The Millay Colony for the Arts was founded in 1973 on the estate of the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay in Austerlitz, NY. Thirty years later it is considered to be one of the most important artist communities in the country. It has provided more than 1500 writers, visual artists and composers with month-long residencies to pursue their own work, uninterrupted by any other demands, within an extraordinarily beautiful setting.

Five distinguished jurors were invited to select work from each artistic discipline represented at the Colony: Linda Shearer, Director of the Williams College Museum of Art, visual art; John Ashbery, poet and winner of numerous awards and fellowships, as well as the Charles P. Stevenson, Jr. Professor of Languages and Literature at Bard College selected the poetry; Ann Patchett, fiction writer, award-winning author and Guggenheim Fellow juried submissions of short fiction; David Alan Miller, Music Director and Conductor of the Albany Symphony Orchestra chose the musical compositions and M.Z. Ribalow, playwright, poet and Artistic Director of New River Dramatists juried the plays.

Forty five former residents were selected for this exhibition, each with their own recollection of how the Millay Colony for the Arts enabled them to break uncharted ground, find resolution to existing works and gather momentum for new projects. Common among their experiences is the invaluable gift of an extended period of intensive, unbroken focus and the supportive camaraderie of fellow artists.

Selected artists included:
Scott Edward Anderson, Robin Arnold; Jill Bauerle; Sarah Brenneman; Elizabeth Brown; Andrea Clearfield; David Cleary; Gloria Coates; Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas; Susan Spencer Crowe; Ann Darby; Linda Dennis; Marilyn Duckworth, Jessica Dunne, Paul Farinacci, Laurel Farrin, Jeanette Fintz, Richard Fox, Garth Freeman; Andrea Fuhrman; Linda Griggs; Colette Inez; Patricia Spears Jones; Tamiko Kawata, Sybil Kollar; Kate Kretz; Debby Mayer; Sarah McCoubrey; Jennifer Militello; David Morse; Gina Occhiogrosso; Diana Puntar; Eléna Rivera; Bertha Rogers; Marilyn Schechter; Monique Silverman; Hester Simpson; Samantha Simpson; Robert Stern; Carolyn Stoloff; Randall Stoltzfus; Naoe Suzuki; Elaine Terranova; Sophie Wadsworth; and Deborah Zlotsky.

UNPLUGGED Painting in the Age of Technology
May 19, 2003 - January 4, 2004

The Forest of the Faithful Shepherd Peter Taylor, 1997 Oil on paper	Sara John Hampshire, 2000 Oil on paper

Lead Hill Laura Von Rosk, 2003 Oil on wood	A Future Together Christian Carson, 2001 Oil on Panel

Unplugged was a celebration of painting as an enduring process that transcends our new century's impulse for instantaneous information, exchange, production and communication. The selected works were divergent in style and subject matter, but reflective of a sensibility that painting itself is an act that necessitates slow deliberation, attention to nuance and detail, and patience for careful crafting.

The eighteen Capital Region artists gathered for this exhibition described personal and observed visions of landscape, portraiture, pattern, abstraction, still life, and a passion for connecting brush with surface. While relationships between these works can be drawn, each artist's particular point of view was punctuated by the distinction of their marks and the manner in which they presented new ways of thinking about the process of painting itself.

Unplugged was curated by Sharon Bates, Director of the Albany International Airport's Art & Culture Program. The artists featured were: Scott Brodie, Richard Callner, Christian Carson, Sara Di Donato, Richard Garrison, John Hampshire, John Hanson, Aaron Holz, Carol Luce, Robert Moylan, Lillian Mulero, Michael Oatman, Gina Occhiogrosso, Bruce Stiglich, Peter Taylor, Stephen J. Tyson, Laura Von Rosk, and Deborah Zlotsky.

An Exhibition of Intriguing Collections from Residents of the Capital Region
