The Lake George Arts Project Presents Nathan Meltz: The Utopia Machine
Courthouse Gallery in Lake George Village hosts an intriguing exhibit representing technology’s infiltration into our lives.
The Courthouse Gallery in Lake George Village presents “Nathan Meltz: The Utopia Machine,” which features sizzling, vibrant imagery that, in the artist’s words, represents “…the infiltration of technology into every facet of our lives, from family and food to politics and war. Nightmarish industrial creations are set against images of grand mechanical constructions, an off-kilter vision of technology.”
Meltz is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of the Arts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York, and the founder and curator of the Screenprint Biennial. He uses printmaking, animation, sculpture, and performance as his primary forms of media.
His solo exhibitions include the gallery at Atelier Presse Papier, Trois-Rivières, Canada; the Shircliff Gallery at Vincennes University, Indiana; Southern Illinois University’s Vergette Gallery, GRIDSPACE (NYC); the University of Florida – Jacksonville’s Andrew Brest Gallery, and Noise Gallery (OH).
Meltz international exhibitions include the International Print Center in New York, the 16th International Printmaking Triennial Graphica Creativa Triennial, Jyväskylä Art Museum, Finland, the Museum of Modern Art in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and more.
His art has been featured in publications, including Art in Print, Printeresting, and the Mid-America Print Council Journal.
Meltz series “Strangling the Fascist Viper” has received juror awards from the Louisiana International Printmaking Exhibition and the Political Impressions exhibition at the Rochester Institute of Technology, the Printworks Award from Artists Image Resource, Pittsburgh, PA, and the Prix de Print award from Art in Print Magazine.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse on Lower Amherst Street in Lake George, NY. During scheduled exhibitions, the in-person office and gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, Noon to 5 pm, and Saturday, Noon to 4 pm.
