Lori Horowitz – The Body Politic

The The Body Politic: , museum-wide 2024 Long Island Biennial is the 8th edition of the juried show and the first to be a themed competition.

It features artwork by 60 contemporary artists from across Nassau & Suffolk counties. In this year of global elections, as some 60 countries representing half of the world’s populations hold regional and national leadership votes—The Heckscher Museum of Art invited Long Island artists to submit work that engages with contemporary social, cultural, or political issues.
This year’s jurors are Ian Alteveer, Beal Family Chair of the Department of Contemporary Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Patricia Cronin, sculptor, Artistic Director of the LGBTQ+ VR Museum and Distinguished Professor of Art, Brooklyn College; and Grace Hong, Assistant Director, Galerie Lelong & Co. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Meredith A. Brown, the Heckscher Museum’s Consulting Curator of Contemporary Art.
