375 Hudson Street is pleased to present joint exhibitions of artwork by New York-based artists, Lydia Dona and Victoria Manganiello in the Lobby Atrium through January 2024. Inspired by the relationships between technology and everyday life, both artists explore the human experience through the lens of abstraction – Dona in paint and Manganiello in fiber. Please join us for the reception on Wednesday, April 26th from 5:30 - 7:30 PM to meet the artists and learn more about their work!
Balancing on the edge of abstraction and representation, Lydia Dona’s dynamic paintings reference contemporary urban life. Dona moved to New York City from Israel in the early 1980’s to study at the School of Visual Arts and then Hunter College and never left. The exhilaration of living in a city known for fostering innovative artists as well as its visual stimulation marks her practice. The works on view at 375 Hudson offer a panorama of ten years of the artist’s output and document her creative response to this rich milieu.
Created with a wide range of techniques, from the ancient to the analog, Victoria Manganiello’s rich textile works explore the relationships between traditional and digital technologies. Combining hand-spun yarns and naturally derived dyes with synthetic fibers and mathematically programmed patterning, Manganiello simultaneously subverts and pays deference to her centuries-old craft. Her exhibition at 375 Hudson, Automata Interlace, weaves stories of the past with the mood of the present to create experiential works that speculate on the future.
