HTG NEWBURGH NY
Gallery, sculpture garden and artist studios
2018 - 2023 Gallery NOW CLOSED
Paulien Lethen opened Holland Tunnel Gallery & Studios Newburgh, NY in a 1860 warehouse on Chambers St 46 between Broadway and First Street in 2018. An industrial gallery space with high ceiling, and a grand piano for concerts, it is the second US location for the Holland Tunnel Gallery.
When Lethen moved to live in Newburgh and met the lively art community, it seemed logical that that the Holland Tunnel Gallery would follow. Creating a new place for exhibitions, performances, concerts and movie screenings she is fostering the sort of community anchor she created with the Williamsburg incarnation of Holland Tunnel Gallery. The Newburgh location also allows for artist studios which Lethen sees as an extention of the mission of Holland Tunnel, in building space for creative endeavors. The gallery and studios providing a dialogue with each other. In Newburgh, Paulien Lethen feels the same exciting artistic energy of Williamsburg in the ‘90’s – then known as The New Bohemia. She is happy to offer a new cultural venue and art center in the Historic District of Newburgh where art and people can come together.

Sep – Nov 2023 FINALE
Paulien Lethen
FINALE is the last exhibition of Holland Tunnel Newburgh, a retrospective of the work of Paulien Lethen; founder-director of Holland Tunnel Gallery.
With this retrospective 1963 – 2023 concludes her eventful history of 26 years of creating art.
Besides being an artist, Paulien Lethen has always set herself the goal to provide a platform for art and bringpeople together. Finale, and beyond? It is her wish and aim that an organization, foundation or museum willprovide Newburgh with a new cultural destination in the gallery space and adjoining park garden.
Let art and music live on!
Lethen’s powerful artworks are influenced by the different places where she lived and lives. Each environment has left its mark in her person and work, showing the strength of a woman who created solid ground everywhere, every time, with straightforwardness, humor and no time for nonsense. In Japan she became influenced by ink paintings and the different approach to composition and space. From the Greek island dancing she adapted the firm and fluid movements and translated them into bold lines and round figures. After moving to New York, she worked as a housepainter to support herself and her two sons, scraping old paint of walls and skimming over surfaces. The tools she used as a housepainter became favorite art supplies. In Williamsburg, still a rough and raffled neighborhood when she moved there, abandoned car wrecks along the streets provided her with car hoods that she used as three-dimensional canvases. The earliest work in the exhibition are assemblages made of wood, demantled furniture and other debris found from junk warehouses behind her tiny house, declared uninhabitable, in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Lethen’s current work are paintings with bold strokes of high gloss industrial paint, applied with skimming knives and big brushes on refined mulberry paper.

sept 29 Finale and Beyond Opening Reception
Paulien Lethen
Holland Tunnel Gallery is pleased to announce an opening reception for Paulien Lethen’s exhibition, Finale and Beyond. Join us on Friday, September 29 from 6 to 9 pm!
Paulien Lethen
Finale and Beyond will be the last exhibition of Holland Tunnel Newburgh. Paulien Lethen, founder-director of Holland Tunnel Gallery, concludes an eventful history of 26 years that started in 1997, when she organized the first art show in her newly installed garden shed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Dutch-born artist Paulien Lethen is a world traveler. After finishing art academy (Monumental Art) and leaving The Netherlands in the ‘60’s, she has lived under divergent circumstances on different continents: as a permanent resident on the Greek island of Paros (1968-1982), in Kyoto, Japan (several longer periods during the ‘70’s), Manhattan, NY (1982-1987), Williamsburg, Brooklyn (1987-2015). When her beloved neighborhood had become a developer’s paradise, she landed once more in a new place. This time it was Newburgh, NY, in 2016. Lethen’s powerful artworks are clearly influenced by the different places where she lived and lives. Each environment has left its mark in her person and work. It is an interesting experience to make the time travel through the artist’s life. It shows the strength of a woman who created solid ground everywhere, every time, with straightforwardness, humor and no time for nonsense.
In Japan she became influenced by ink paintings and the different approach to composition and space. From the Greek island dancing she adapted the firm and fluid movements and translated them into bold lines and round figures. After moving to New York, she worked as a housepainter to support herself and her two sons, scraping old paint of walls and skimming over surfaces. She gained great control over working with big brushes and skimming knives. The tools she used as a housepainter became favorite art supplies. In Williamsburg, still a rough and raffled neighborhood when she moved there, abandoned car wrecks along the streets provided her with car hoods that she used as three-dimensional canvasses. The earliest work in the exhibition are assemblages made of wood, demantled furniture and other debris found from junk warehouses behind her tiny house, declared uninhabitable, in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Her current work are paintings with bold strokes of high gloss industrial paint, applied with skimming knives and big brushes on refined mulberry paper. About Holland Tunnel Gallery Besides being an artist, Paulien has set herself the goal to provide a platform for art and bring people together. In 1997 she organized the first art show with works of artists friends and herself in her newly installed garden shed in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on the occasion of the Williamsburg Open Studio Tour. The New York Times put it on the map as ‘one of the quirkiest spaces in Williamsburg’ and ‘the tiniest gallery in the metropolitan area’. A summer extension in Paros, Greece opened in 2000, and was followed by Stairmasters, mega art projects in the staircase of her house next to the Williamsburg gallery (2004-2020). In 2018 Holland Tunnel Newburgh NY was launched.
PAULIEN LETHEN’S PERSONAL NOTES
Finale, and beyond? It is my wish and aim that an organization, foundation or museum will provide Newburgh with a new cultural destination in the gallery space and adjoining park garden. Let there be arts, culture and people! The retrospective of my work is the last exhibition in Holland Tunnel Gallery Newburgh. Don’t miss the final closing party on Sunday November 19 with live music. The gallery in Greece will still be hosting incidental events and exhibitions. As an artist I won’t stop - on the contrary, I will have more time for my own work. I want to thank the artists, friends, family and my partner Bix Lye who have supported me over the years.
Come celebrate with me!

july 22 - aug 20 Wood, Wool, Glass & Clay
KaKyung Cho, Naomi Beth Gans, Romina Gonzales,
Stuart Sachs, Tina Scepanovic
Wood, Wool, Glass & Clay—an exhibition that is bringing together five artists whose work explores how diverse approaches to materials can shape narratives that invite the audience to look beyond what’s immediately visible.
Holland Tunnel Gallery is also pleased to present a live performance by Hearn Gadbois from 4-5pm during the closing reception.
Hearn Gadbois is a percussionist, instrument designer and builder, session musician, teacher, and composer for dance and film. He has performed and recorded with luminaries including Patti Smith, Yoko Ono, Meredith Monk, and Suzanne Vega.
Raised in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes, Hearn took up conga at age 15 and began performing professionally three years later. In 1980 he relocated to New York and became immersed in the downtown club scene, cofounding post-punk psychedelic trance band Saqqara Dogs. During this time his style and instrumental palate began changing, incorporating and re-contextualizing influences from what’s become a lifelong study of Iranian, Afghani, and other Central Asian and North African musical traditions. Following a 1990s apprenticeship with master instrument-builder Ben Hume, he began creating most of his own instruments—including Persian- and Afghani-style goblet drums, wooden jug drums, and various shakers and woodblocks—most of them crafted by hand using only traditional tools and methods.
Hearn is a newly transplanted resident of New York’s Hudson Valley, having spent the previous 20 years in Prague, Czech Republic, where he was an active performer and teacher, composed for numerous dance and theater projects, and toured throughout central Europe. He has released five albums under his own name, including 2022’s Rara Avis, a compilation collecting works from 1983 to 2020 (Abstrakce Records).

april 22 - june 4 Three of a kind
Gemma Kahng, Julie Lindell, Jacques Roch
In Three of a Kind, Holland Tunnel Gallery has brought together three separate artists Gemma Kahng, Julie LIndell and Jacques Roch that address human and animal forms while discussing the complicated nature of beauty. While at first glance the works by these artists may seem very different there is a surprising connection amongst the works that lead the viewer on a search of the unexpected and a dialog of relationship between the works.
Gemma Kahng may be best known for her work as a fashion designer. Her recent paintings on view in this show are bold, bright birds and animals that continue her interest in innate beauty and ornamentation. Ms. Kahng is a local Hudson Valley Artist and founder of the Beekman Arts Club that started in Hopewell Junction NY and now is located in Newburgh, NY.
Julie Lindell an installation artist The pieces for this show are also about physical beauty, but question both the value of that moniker and who gets to determine it. Her work has been exhibited across the US and in Japan . Originally from Seattle, WA. Ms. Lindell now lives in Newburgh, NY.
Jacques Roch began painting human figures again in the 60’s, although they appeared as semi-abstract signs and caricatural characters that popped from the painterly ground like knots of light or ghost-like figures concretizing space. A long time contributor to exhibitions at Holland Tunnel Gallery the works on view are part of his estate and Paulien Lethen is honored to be able to share these works with the public on the estate’s behalf.

Oct 1 - Nov 20 Matter of Fact
Thornton Willis and Bix Lye
In Matter of Fact the canvases by Thornton Willis with their bold colorful squares and rectangles, are beautifully placed forming strong compositions. Bix Lye’s exquisitely executed sculptures of intriguing forms and color combinations create moments of contemplation in three dimensional form. The two artists' artwork together is a discussion of space, color and thought that play between them and invite the viewer to participate.
“Willis deals in the fusion of opposites: translucency and opacity;expansion and contraction; open and closed; tension and release. His paintings explore beginnings, first steps, and
the building blocks of picture-making--the progression of point to line to plane; and of movement arrested in the plane...and whole planes of scratchy color churn with a flurry of brushwork, reminding us that flat color--vibrating, pulsing--needn't sit there inactively."
Lance Esplund on Willis
Bix Lye is a British-American artist whose sculptures challenge definition. “Lye’s sculpture simultaneously reads as a contained, solid object and a construction of modular components…. Its finely crafted geometry conjures up references to Tony Smith and even Sol LeWitt; however, the work provides just enough color and whimsy to eschew the reductive stereotype”. -The Brooklyn Rail

November 6 Poetry Reading
Ron Horning & Richard Stull
Please join us at Holland Tunnel Gallery Newburgh as Poets Ron Horning and Richard Stull grace us with an afternoon reading of their works.

Ron Horning has published poems and translations in The New Yorker, Vanitas, Sal Mimeo, and Blazing Stadium. His books of poems include To our amazement, Blind date, Two poems and a letter, and The Dante, the Tevere, the New Riviera.
Richard Stull’s poems have appeared in Poetry, The Paris Review, Sal Mimeo, Blazing Stadium, and The Traveler’s Vade Mecum, an anthology edited by Helen Klein Ross.

Aug 20 - sep 25 Otherness
Chantelle Norton, Carl Van Brunt, Joseph Ayers
For Otherness Chantelle Norton, Carl Van Brunt and Joseph Ayers weave together an eclectic array of combined media, approaches and subjects. Sharing interests in time, history, myth and phenomenology, each artist explores notions of one’s ‘self’ in relation to the ‘other’. Chantelle Norton reinterprets the myth of medusa through ceramic plates and wallpaper designed with hand-made drawings. Norton said of her approach “my idea to incorporate ceramic plates came from thinking about stoneware and Medusa’s power turning men to stone, and Athena’s circular shield with an image of Medusa’s head”. The wall paper patterns that Norton creates retell this ancient myth, and reexamine the storyin a modern context. Medusa was a rape victim who was punished and beheaded. Her head became an iconicsymbol used in both domestic and public spaces throughout the ancient world.
Carl Van Brunt continues to push the boundaries between notions of the self in the face of the emergence of AI.
Using hand made drawings and sketches as well as digital sources such as fractal and 3-D renders, Van Brunt
uses AI technology to transform these into seemingly infinite permutations. Combining video, animation,
analogue drawings, and prints, Van Brunt draws on the spiritual self, past and present, as a way of tapping into
the future alter-ego of AI.
Joseph Ayers uses a combination of traditional media, new technology, video, sound, and sculpture to explore
both connections and disparity between physical and psychological perceptions. For Otherness Ayers will
present a meta-cluster of drawings and paintings, and a pairing of sculptures that can on the one hand be seen
with the eyes, juxtaposed with video-sculptures that can only be felt with the hands. Ayers has said, “as a
multimedia artist I think a lot about appearances and perceptions, and how relationships between these two
things influence, and to some degree, have authority over, everything we experience.”

Tunnel Gallery Newburgh presents Apathy Press Poets Book Launch as part of ‘Upstate Art weekend’
Join Apathy Press Books Poets for readings and book launch event featuring Carl Watson, Jennifer Blowdryer, Shiv Mirabito, Sparrow and Tom Diventi, publisher of Apathy Press Books. All authors have new books published by Apathy Press.
Tom Diventi, the founder of Apathy Press, says his “literary ancestors are Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg, and other significant beat generation poets, that whole group bonded together by their alienation from the status quo. The On the Road idea.” He was in the now-defunct Sherman’s Bookstore on Mulberry Street and Park Avenue in downtown Baltimore when he saw a button that read “Apathy.” He said this started him thinking about apathy as a concept. Tom says that “it’s a catalyst for action. You can’t have sloth without work. Apathy is a great motivator.”

july 15 sounds for living
Stan Woodard
Stan Woodard, presents Sounds for Living, a playlist of new recorded music
Stan Woodard, an Atlanta-based artist, says of the playlist, “I started making this music while recovering from a health issue and discovered otherwise unknown inner voices − I surprised myself with the range of output and the mix has been evolving for the past 3 years or so. For each public presentation I’ve extracted different selections to fit the respective need − I really hope that people will feel the rhythms and shake what they’ve got at Holland Tunnel!”
