Join us every Thursday evening at CPW, when we host illuminating talks with local and visiting artists. “Meet the Artist” allows the public to get to know new work, to hear about artistic processes, and to meet friends and other local artists. The evening takes place at CPW’s gallery at 474 Broadway in Kingston, NY. It is free and open to the public. Coffee, tea, and snacks are served. “Meet the Artist” is made possible by a generous grant from the Arnold and Augusta Newman Foundation.
Orejarena & Stein (b. Colombia, 1994 & UK, 1994) are a multimedia artist duo based in New York. Their work examines the intersection of technology, memory, and the duo’s desire to explore American mythologies and narratives. Fascinated with the emergent properties inherent to photographing as a pair using only a single camera, their practice explores collaboration in an individualistic medium. Orejarena & Stein conduct extensive research into collective image production within a world saturated by visual images. Their work has been exhibited internationally and can be found within public and private collections, including The J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, CA), The Museum of Fine Arts (Houston, TX), The Nguyen Art Foundation (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam), The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center (Vassar College, NY), New York State Museum (Albany, NY), and The Ann Tenenbaum & Thomas H. Lee Family Collection, among others. A collection of their work, Long Time No See, was published by Jiazazhi Press in 2022 and is held in the special collections library of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art (New York, NY). Their second publication, American Glitch, will be published February 2024. Orejarena & Stein were selected as 2024 FOAM Talents, with their series American Glitch to be exhibited in a group show at FOAM in Amsterdam opening February 22, 2024. The duo will have their first solo museum exhibition Tactics & Mythologies curated by Nadine Isabelle Heinrich, which will include work from their projects Long Time No See and American Glitch, opening at the Deichtorhallen Museum in Hamburg in September 2024.
