About the Exhibition
Long Island’s East End has long been a vital fishing and agricultural region, where communities have relied on the land and water for generations. Today, environmental shifts and pressures increasingly threaten these traditions.
Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care
responds to this urgency by showcasing works that emerge from the intersection of ecological art, environmental action, and community collaboration.
The exhibition features eleven intergenerational artists with strong ties to Long Island and New York whose works stem from an active involvement with the environmental challenges that impact the East End, including
Scott Bluedorn, Jeremy Dennis, Sasha Fishman, Maya Lin, Tucker Marder, Mamoun Nukumanu, Cindy Pease Roe, Randi Renate, Sara Siestreem, Alan Sonfist, and Michelle Stuart
. Addressing rising sea levels, depleted natural habitats, and ocean pollution, the artists approach these issues from a place of curiosity, hope, and shared responsibility, ultimately modeling alternative and restorative ways of engaging with the non-human world.
Regeneration
is part of the Museum’s
USA250: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
, a year-long program organized in response to the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. The
USA250
exhibition series will reflect on the nation’s history and founding values, examine our present moment, and imagine new ways of moving forward, while recognizing the contributions of regional artists to the broader landscape of American art and culture. Responding to language in the Declaration of Independence that states “life” as one of the inalienable rights,
Regeneration
explores our responsibility to the various forms of life that sustain us.
Regeneration
is co-organized by Scout Hutchinson, The FLAG Art Foundation Associate Curator of Contemporary Art, and Corinne Erni, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator of Art and Education.
Exhibition Support
Regeneration: Long Island’s History of Ecological Art and Care
