Catalog of the first museum exhibition of Leonard Contino, a Brooklyn-born, self-taught abstract artist whose tenacious exploration of pictorial space spanned a fifty-year career.Totally Dedicated describes the extraordinary art practice of Leonard Contino, a Brooklyn-born, self-taught abstract artist whose tenacious exploration of pictorial space spanned a fifty-year career. In 1959 at the age of nineteen, Contino was severely injured in a diving accident. Paralyzed from the shoulders down, he retained some mobility in his arms and hands, and needed to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Contino went on to have a fifty-year career creating paintings and sculptures that are as technically accomplished as they are compelling. Encompassing more than eighty artworks, Totally Dedicated is the largest exhibition of Contino's work to date, featuring colorful, hard-edged geometric paintings, playful collages, delicate reliefs, and sculptures from the 1960s through the 2000s.

Shares the unique story of a Christmas tree farm in Poughkeepsie, New York, where, for over four decades, women artists boldly built a space where they could create community and art together.In 1970, with the advance from her book Sexual Politics, writer and visual artist Kate Millett (1934–2017) bought a run-down farmhouse on the outskirts of Poughkeepsie, New York. Originally intended as a private retreat, by 1978, in collaboration with her partner Sophie Keir, plans for a women's art colony were underway. Friends, artists, and volunteers from the Women's Movement journeyed to the Farm to renovate the barns and create living quarters as well as art studio spaces. Tomake the colony self-sustainable, Millettpurchased seventy-three acres of neighboring land; the rather unlikely crop they chose togrowwas Christmas trees.By the mid-1980s, summer residencies began, with artists working on the Farm for five-hours a day and spending the remaining time on their art practice. Millett described the art colony as "life after the revolution," a place where women could experience freedoms that the Women's and LGBTQ civil rights movements were fighting for, but that were not yet available in mainstream society. For over four decades Millett Farm was a dynamic haven where artists facing pervasive sexism and homophobia boldly built a space where they could create community and art together. This exhibition catalog tells the story of this inspiring venture in contemporary art and queer feminist activism with archival photographs, an essay by a former colonist Anne B. Keating, and a group conversation between founders of Millett Farm.
