Internationally acclaimed, Rochester-based artist Gregory Halpern returns to the Wish You Were Here series on the occasion of his exhibition "Gregory Halpern: 19 winters / 7 springs", on display in the Project Gallery through March 3, 2024. The result of two decades of grappling with the idea of his hometown of Buffalo, the exhibition is a profound rumination on history, the passage of time, the experience of contemporary life, and, above all, what it means to dwell in a particular place.
For his Wish You Were Here lecture, Halpern will reflect on this body of work in light of his other projects that have looked at the complexity of places as disparate as Southern California, Omaha, Nebraska, and the Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe.
