“Lifecycles 3D at The Beacon,”
Jersey City’s Beacon condominium, formerly known as the Jersey City Medical Center, is the best example of Art Deco architecture anywhere in the State of New Jersey and is the nation's largest historic residential renovation project. The Beacon will be hosting its first major art exhibition during Tour
Weekend at their location on Beacon Place off of Montgomery Street.
“I encourage everyone to visit Beacon’s exhibition, which is held at this historic venue,” said Mayor Healy. “The Beacon is the epitome of architectural elegance and I am proud of its legacy. When you walk through the doors you will not only be presented with a remarkable art exhibit, but you will also have the opportunity to take in the art and splendor of the Beacon itself.”
“Lifecycles at The Beacon,” an exhibition curated by James Pustorino of Victory Arts Projects and organized by Greg Brickey of the Jersey City Division of Cultural Affairs, features sculpture by many of the tri-state areas’ best-known artists displayed amongst the marble columns and Art Deco recreation areas of the Beacon.
Curator James Pustorino describes the exhibit as “seeking to emphasize the role of the artist as an investigator into the nature of things and the meaning of the world around or within them.” He adds that “We’ve gathered artists from the Jersey City / NY metropolitan area who have a great interest in life-systems and the sciences: biology, anthropology, physics, botany, astronomy or whose work investigates questions of origins, time and space, beginnings, ends, growth or eternity. “
Artists featured in “Lifecycles @ The Beacon” include Barbara Goldner, Jill Scipione, Kevin Koniewicz, Marisa Dipaola, Ev Stone, Michael Garrahan, Caleb Nussear, Maggie Ens, Melissa Reed, Keungsuk K Sexton, Steven Singer, and Hijo Nam.
The exhibition, which will be free and open to the public, will also feature a reading by renowned Jersey City historian Bob Leach from the Beacon’s Frank Hague room at 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 4th and 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 5th. A screening of the award-winning documentary “The Art and Crimes of Ron English” will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday of tour weekend in the Beacon’s Art Deco movie theater.
Said George Filopolous, President of Metrovest Equities. “We’re proud to lend our support to this wonderful event and look forward to the public enjoying these exceptional works of art.”
