New Hampshire Mill Reopens as Art Space
Published: August 14, 2009
The Newport Mill was reinvented to serve its new purpose by owner William B. Ruger, who previously rented the space out to light manufacturing concerns. Much like the nearby Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, the space pays homage to the area’s industrial and economic history, as does its first exhibition, as water was a critical aspect of old mill towns. Curated by Cynthia Reeves, who owns an eponymous gallery in Manhattan and serves as director of the Great Rivers Art Institute in Vermont, the video-focused exhibition will include paintings, photographs, and more. |
