Swing by the windows of 77ART to witness Alyena Feinberg's temporary work, "Gesture of Something Like Home" painted directly on the 77ART windows. This dynamic installation considers the architecture of Rutland’s downtown center, an amalgamation of housing and businesses, and how the city’s connective qualities lend to community and inclusion. At the conclusion of the exhibit, the painting will be scraped away, never to be seen again.

Here are some words from the artists about their process:

”I’m a painter who uses water-based mediums to create somewhat magical configurations of buildings in landscape, usually based on neighborhoods where I live or frequent. My work responds to the precedent of landscape painting in the Northeast, as well as to visual culture on social media, and to iconic suburban American dream aesthetics and ideals. Often from the vantage point of a passerby, my work communicates a relationship to landscape that is not about possession, but rather, memory, otherness, and feelings of both belonging and not belonging.”

Aleyna (they/them) is a Vermont painter predominately working in the Burlington area. You can see more of their landscapes and murals on their website here.
