Behold the Moon

In the summer of 2016, the Hammond Museum and Japanese Stroll Garden in North Salem, New York, featured the exhibit ”Behold the Moon,’’ curated by Bibiana. This show celebrated the Hammond Museum’s 50th Anniversary of Moon Viewing from June– September, 2016. The Annual Moon Viewing Concert at the Hammond Museum is a tradition that was started by the founder Natalie Hays Hammond in 1966. The elegant custom of eating, drinking, listening to music and writing poetry while watching the moon, has been performed devotedly since the Tang Dynasty in China (618-906) and started in Japan in the middle of the Heian dynasty period (794-1192). Bibiana invited 13 well established artists from the Hudson Valley, Connecticut, Long Island and New York City, to participate in this multimedia art show, including eight site-specific installations. Featured artists included Carla Goldberg, Chuck von Schmidt, Eda, Eleni Smolen, Elizabeth MacDonald, Harry White, Illse Schreiber-Noll, Karen Fitzgerald, Leslie Pelino, Lisa Breznak, Lori Robeau, and Pam Smilow.
