The gallery scene in Beacon was recently enriched when the Fridman Gallery opened in Beacon, its second location outside of New York City.

Artillery Magazine
"For Jungerman, the act of creating is how he honors his ancestral Surinamese upbringing on his mother’s side; the artworks are the leftover."

475 Main Street, Beacon, NY
The inaugural exhibition, opening on May 1, will feature Nanette Carter, Athena LaTocha and Wura-Natasha Ogunji. Its title, Land Escape, refers to the artists’ use of a variety of media to create—rather than represent—landscapes. The opening will culminate at 8pm with an outdoor audio-visual performance by Victoria Keddie, using NASA’s live feed of space debris orbiting above Beacon.

Disquiet
' “Invisible People,” is all hellfire and brimstone, part excoriating exorcism, part calculated recitation of Jonathan Edwards sermonizing (heard here in usefully creepy text-to-speech), all playing out in an atmosphere of dissolute, slow-motion chamber music.'
"Freedom" Album review
The Wire Magazine issue 443
"The combination of vocals, sound effects, field recordings, and instrumentation is presented with an intensity that I've not felt for some time."

"In the act of communication, at the heart of artistic expression,
McCannon passes from the particular to the universal, transforming the language of her life into a language that addresses everyone and demands they take notice"

"An accomplished musician with several albums under his belt, [Blitz] Bazawule is also an adept painter. “For me, everything is art,” Bazawule said in a 2017 article. “Literature is art, music is art, even culinary skills are art. I’m one of those artists who doesn’t see the need for clear barriers between art forms.” Through all of his work, he seeks to preserve and convey personal and ancestral memories."
