Jim Denomie Featured in Inaugural Exhibition at The Campus

Jim Denomie’s first gallery installation in New York is now on view in the inaugural exhibition at The Campus, a sprawling abandoned school located near Hudson, NY. Six art galleries – Bortolami, James Cohan, kaufmann repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps, and kurimanzutto – joined together to purchase the Ockawamick School and the surrounding land in 2021. Curated by independent curator Timo Kappeller, the first show features more than 80 artists throughout the school’s unaltered classrooms, gym, and locker rooms.

A selection of Denomie’s paintings hangs in a classroom alongside work by Danish sculptor Tal R. Works such as Four Days and Four Nites IV and Two Spirits look out on the school grounds, which also feature a range of outdoor sculptures. “In [Denomie’s] vivid palette and gestural brushwork, figures and scenes express the spiritual and the dreamworld,” reads The Campus’ press release.

The inaugural exhibition will be open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays through October 27. Read more about The Campus in the New York Times, Hyperallergic, and Vogue.
