In the 1980s, photographer John Yang turned his lens toward Innisfree Garden, a distinctive landscape in Millbrook, New York, rooted in the mid-century aesthetics of Chinese garden design and American modernism. Yang’s black-and-white photographs capture the garden’s atmospheric qualities—mist rising from the lake, sculptural rock placements, and the quiet drama of shifting light. His images emphasize the meditative spirit of Innisfree while documenting the ways in which nature, architecture, and human intervention coalesce.
A visual artist, designer, and musician based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Naomi Yang will talk with curator James Voorhies about John Yang’s photographs of Innisfree and his contemplative approach to documenting landscape and architecture.
Conversations is a series of talks with artists, writers, and curators related to the work on view and themes explored in the exhibitions.

Maggie Dimock will discuss her curatorial work within the unique context of Olana as both home and work of art, and how Frederic Church’s legacy continues to shape the cultural identity of the Hudson Valley and beyond. Her talk will focus on Frederic Church: Global Artist, Olana’s forthcoming 2026 exhibition marking the 200th anniversary of Church’s birth. The project situates Church within a global network of art, travel, and artistic exchange, while examining his pivotal role in shaping the American idea of landscape painting and its relationship to place.
She will also reflect on What’s Missing? Artworks in the Olana Landscape—on view through November 2—an exhibition of site-specific works by Ellen Harvey and Gabriela Salazar that reimagine Olana’s history through lenses of environmental change and archival absence.

Curator James Voorhies will host a 45-minute walkthrough of Relational Landscapes, examining the works on view and the ideas that inform them, from the atmospheric legacies of the Hudson River School to the ecological and poetic contradictions of contemporary landscape further afield.
Guests are invited to stay for Spritz Hour, an open studio with light aperitivo and continued conversation.
Introductions are curator-led walkthroughs of exhibitions offering background and context on the works on view.

Wilhelm Neusser’s atmospheric paintings explore how land continues to register the sublime—not as heroic grandeur, but as a fragile, shifting presence shaped by ecological uncertainty and perceptual complexity.
Originally from Cologne, Germany, and now based in Somerville, Massachusetts, Neusser’s paintings draw from both memory and imagination instigating reflection on how beauty, landscape, and time interweave in an era of environmental change.
Neusser will be in conversation with James Voorhies, founder of Spritz3000 and curator of Relational Landscapes.
