The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art will host a Free Arts Day on Sunday December 6th, 2009 from 12:00-6:00pm. Admission is free all day, and special tours and performances will be taking place throughout the day at the HVCCA.
- 1:00pm: Docent Tour of Double Dutch exhibition led by HVCCA President and Co-Founder Dr. Livia Straus. DOUBLE DUTCH: Is a powerful and unique exhibition, as the only site showcasing contemporary Dutch installation and video art by a young generation of relatively unknown artists, HVCCA boasts six works produced specifically for the exhibition; three by HVCCA artists in residence. The works clarify an architectural foundation that imbues much of the Dutch esthetic. Artists in the exhibition are: Job Koelewijn, with a full size gas station made of over 3000 artist books, Jennifer Tee, Dylan Graham, Alon Levin, Erik van Lieshout, Marc Bijl, Rob Voerman, Folkert de Jong, Daan Padmos, Maartje Korstanje, Serge Onnen, Lara Schnitger, Karen Sargsyan, Guido van der Werve, Martha Colburn, and Fendry Ekel.
- 2:00pm: Westchester Symphonic Winds Clarinet and Saxophone Quartet
- 4:00pm: Urban Fetch
“Urban Fetch is a band that invites unlimited comparisons – but ultimately, none of them seem adequate. In Danny Golub's piano playing and unique lead vocals, one hears echoes of Ben Folds and Donald Fagen. The rhythm section of drummer Josh Mankes and bassist Mike Buckner is tight as they come, but never at the expense of energy or emotion. And just when you think you have the band figured out, in comes lead guitarist Jim Cobb – the man can straight up play – and brings the songs to a new dimension. Perhaps most impressive about the band, however, is their ability to concisely synthesize the wildly disparate sounds and genres of the modern musical landscape. Urban Fetch is not trite radio pop. It is not a cynical indie band. It is not an unfocused improvisational savant.”-Stephen Press, New York City, 2007
