“Just Looking,” professor emeritus Hearne Pardee’s new show at the Bowery Gallery, features new collage paintings and photographs of abstracted landscapes. Using his phone to photograph a local park, Pardee recorded the urban infrastructure or public sculpture of the park which he translated into abstracted environments in his studio (“Sidewalk Gardens”) or on canvas.

Pardee’s abstractions will provide the backdrop for a performance by David Grenke, UC Davis professor of Dance and Theatre, and his group Dance Theater Works on September 23 at 4 pm in the Bowery Gallery.

On Friday, September 15 at 1 p.m. (EST) or 10 a.m. (PST), Pardee will be interviewed by Amanda Millet-Sorsa of the Brooklyn Rail.. Register for this event here.

“Just Looking” runs from September 5-30, 2023 with an opening on September 7 from 5-8 pm.
