“WOMEN PICTURING WOMEN” AT THE LEHMAN LOEB ART CENTER
Curated by Patricia Phagan, “Women Picturing Women: From Personal Spaces to Public Ventures” studies the themes that emerged when selecting only images of women by women artists. Drawn from the permanent collection of the Lehman Loeb, this exhibit shows how women artists frequently communicated the idea of an intimate or sheltered enclosure even though these women participated in a more public arena to show or even make their work. Other women artists relayed the idea of venturing into a public place such as a street or an office, or into the more public, intellectual world of a narrative found in religion, mythology, or social critique. Artists in the exhibition include Kathe Kollwitz, Berthe Morisot, Hilda Belcher, Emma Conant Church, and Elizabeth Rebecca Coffin, among others. February 6–June 13. Fllac.vassar.edu
LEWIS HINE AT THE DORSKY MUSEUM
Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was an American sociologist and photographer who used his camera as a tool for social reform. Hine’s photographs were instrumental in changing child labor laws in the United States. “Lewis Hine, Child Labor Investigator,” curated by Anna Conlan with Amy Fredrickson, showcases a collection of photographs, recently donated to the Dorsky. These powerful photographs were made between 1908 and 1922, while Hine was employed by the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC) to investigate and document widespread instances of young children working in unsafe conditions. Hine’s work for the NCLC was often dangerous—he was frequently threatened with violence or even death by factory police and foremen. February 6–July 11. Newpaltz.edu/museum

MISON KIM AT GARRISON ART CENTER
“Games, Guns, and Glory” at Garrison Art Center presents bold diagrammatic drawings by Mison Kim that suggest semi-automatic rifles, board games, and icons. Within the confines of these rigid graphics, Kim has woven a multitude of lyrical lines that make their way in and around the graphic design. Upon closer examination, the viewer discovers that these are, in fact, architectural plans for government buildings and houses of worship. “The grandest architecture is both eloquent and beautiful, and I thought, that’s where I’d like my lines to live,” says Kim. “These architectures are also associated with presenting society’s greatest aspirations. They were purportedly constructed to support the highest of ideals.” Kim’s intricate wanderings offer pleasure in the simple act of looking and getting lost in an image. Through February 28 Garrisonartcenter.org
SUSAN COPICH AT WINDHAM FINE ARTS
Set in Youngstown, Ohio, Copich’s latest work, “then he forgot my name,” is a self-portrait photography series examining decay and mortality in America’s Rust Belt. The series emerged over three years while Copich shuttled between her hometown in Ohio and upstate New York, and spending time with her father, who was battling dementia. Using a rundown family-owned building in downtown Youngstown as a backdrop, she set out researching the structure’s history and reimagining past occupants. Copich’s photography illuminates a psychological landscape through the pain of living, the continuum of decay, and the struggle for change while reflecting on the collective awakening of female power. Through April 15. Windhamfinearts.com

2021’s celestial theme centers on the three Saturn-Uranus squares, the first on February 17, pitting conservative Saturn in radical Aquarius against revolutionary Uranus in cautious Taurus. This is shorthand for earthquakes, both literal and figurative, and identity crises, both personal and collective. We’ll witness a sea change in the direction of established institutions and gain revolutionary understandings of ourselves in the context of our affinity groups as a response to these great societal stressors. We are likely to see everything from radical traditionalism to progressive conservatism, and the strangest of bedfellows are made when otherwise nonaligned interests cooperate in the service of larger, more over-arching imperatives. This response to the erosion of stability and trust in established institutions can be found in the Aquarian realm of groups, communities, the collective, and affinity groups arranged around common values and ideals.
New Moon in Aquarius February 11 with Venus conjunct Jupiter feels like one of the best days of the year, when positivity and hope run high and good news brings a fresh wave of faith in the future. Mercury retrograde in Aquarius conjuncts Venus and Jupiter February 13 to 14 prompts grand promises and glorious declarations; Mercury direct after February 20 is challenged to fulfill these after reviewing for viability and bottom-line reality. Mars in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn February 24, energizing a real opportunity for transforming the very foundations of this American enterprise; Full Moon in Virgo February 27 sifts for purity of purpose, nobility of intentions and practicality of methodology. Everybody will have to compromise; nobody gets everything they want but everybody gets something. Snatch moments of personal joy while you can as external events shake, rattle, roll and rock our world. Shake your booty, rattle your jewelry, and roll with the punches, because 2021’s a new kind of wild ride.
ARIES (March 20–April 19) Your personal resources and friendships, communities, and your affinity groups will be most affected this month by the square of Saturn to Uranus February 17, but Aries has a preview of this energy February 1 when the Sun squares Mars, giving you an opportunity to rehearse your response to the challenges at hand. Identify your uncompromisable bedrock values and know the locations of your red lines, because the assault against both is real and has long-term consequences. Mars sextile Neptune February 13 energizes your visionary powers; Mars trine Pluto February 24 empowers rebuilding your dreams from the ground up.
TAURUS (April 19–May 20) 2021’s three Saturn-Uranus squares, first on February 17, with Uranus and Mars in Taurus are turbulent events creating space for a radical remodel of your personal value and public worth. Venus in Aquarius through February 26 presents unusually creative and risky opportunities; normally you might pass on these, but these times are anything but normal. Venus squares Uranus, conjuncts Saturn, and sextiles Chiron February 6: if you’re not “woke” by now these celestial events will shake you from slumber. Venus conjunct Jupiter February 11 and square Mars February 19: recognize your lucky break when you see it.

GEMINI (May 20–June 21) The Sun’s conjunction to Mercury retrograde February 8 segues the subject matter back to a decision made midJanuary regarding what best serves your current life path. Mercury square Mars February 10 prods a sore spot, producing fighting words unless you can hold your tongue until Mercury’s three-way kiss with Venus and Jupiter February 13 to 14, which may turn out to be kiss-and-makeup. First Quarter Moon in Gemini February 19 assesses progress realistically; Mercury direct after February 20 adjusts goals for closer alignment with your increasingly spiritual and surprisingly deep dive into the realms of your own subconscious and unconscious mind.
CANCER (June 21–July 22) Last Quarter Scorpio Moon February 4 resolves a question of the heart. New Moon in Aquarius with Venus and Jupiter February 11 may be one of your best days this year, as conditions are perfect for development of those values and resources you share with friends, comrades, and communities of commonalities. First Quarter Gemini Moon February 19 uncovers near-forgotten treasures of your past achievements, which come in handy now. Full Moon in Virgo February 27 empowers eloquence and elegance as you communicate your vision of service and shared beliefs in your quest to manifest your vision for everyone’s good.
LEO (July 22–August 23) Sun in solar opposite Aquarius through February 18 illuminates a seldom-seen, long-shot perspective allowing you to catch a glimpse of an otherwise elusive truth. Sun square Mars February 1 is a big, possibly abrupt boost (or kick in the pants), career-wise, especially if that career involves creative or financial partnerships. Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde February 8 reveals important details you’ll want to double-check and confirm before proceeding with any partnership agreements. Sun sextile Uranus with Moon in Leo February 25 is your day to let your unique originality shine by delivering inspirational genius—and genius loves company, particularly yours.
VIRGO (August 23–September 23) Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde February 8 reveals that your spiritual, mental, and physical health are intertwined and need equal measures of nourishment and care. Mercury square Mars February 10 empowers you to fight against your own extremist instincts for the balance your well-being needs right now. Receive the gifts of grace, which is freely given unmerited favor, February 13 to 14 with Mercury’s conjunction to Venus and Jupiter. Mercury direct after February 20 recalibrates your path forward. Full Moon in Virgo February 27 precisely focuses on distinctions and details needed to ensure you’ll have the resources needed to reach your goals.
LIBRA (September 23–October 23) The theme song of your planetary ruler Venus transiting Aquarius February 1 to 26 is “Friends, Lovers, or Nothing,” as your planetary ruler whose realm is love, creativity, and romance squares erratic Uranus, conjuncts structurepositive Saturn and sextiles vulnerable Chiron on February 6. You lay down the law, and the law of the heart is commitment and honesty, at least from where you’re sitting. Venus conjunct Jupiter and Mercury retrograde February 11 to 13 prompts gigantic ultimatums and supersized declarations which by First Quarter Moon in Gemini February 19 with Venus’s square to Mars you’ll want to modify, or at least add addendums.

SCORPIO (October 23–November 21) The Sun’s square to Mars February 1 reveals tension between surprisingly competitive priorities: your partnerships and your home and family, putting you in an awkward situation. Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio February 4 ties up loose ends around decision-making you’ve been avoiding; you can’t afford ambivalence when your personal worth is at stake. Mars in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn February 24 presents a rare opportunity to manifest structural support and bolster harmonious conditions for the establishment of your vision. Win/win by demonstrating your reassuring trustworthiness and stability in the eyes of those you share your most intimate resources.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 22) February 17 is the first of 2021’s three Saturn-Uranus squares, opening space to shift how expressing your selfperception manifests in your body, environment, and life. You can upgrade your mind-body connection in a significant way at the New Moon in Aquarius February 11, with Venus conjunct Jupiter. Make friends with your most vulnerable parts and help them feel safe enough to heal. Mercury retrograde’s conjunction to Jupiter February 14 recovers remembrances of things past, amplifying articulation of your heart’s desires. With Mercury direct after February 20 and Sun in compassionate Pisces, speak good and it will be good.
CAPRICORN (December 22–January 20) Conservative Saturn in revolutionary Aquarius squares revolutionary Uranus in conservative Taurus three times this year, first on February 17. This impacts your values, valuables, your material world, and the realm of your unique personal creativity. How do these relate to each other? Venus conjunct Saturn February 6, reminding you of what gives you pleasure and sparks joy. You’ll want to hold on to that at Saturn’s sextile to Chiron, exposing vulnerable fears and feelings of inadequacy, especially rooted in home life. Confront these fears; denying yourself creative fulfillment using responsibility as an excuse is no longer a viable option.
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 19) Classical ruler Saturn makes three hard squares in revolutionary Aquarius to modern ruler Uranus in conservative Taurus, during 2021, first on February 17. With Jupiter and Saturn both in Aquarius now, your sense of fate is supersized and a feeling of facing your own destiny both excited and frightens you. Resisting the disruptiveness will only make it worse. New Moon in Aquarius February 11 calls you back to basics: The roots of revolution need nurture before the branches bear fruit. Venus squares Uranus February 6, connecting you with supportive allies. Sun sextile Uranus February 25 illuminating dazzling, fresh ideas.
PISCES (February 20-March 19) The three Saturn-Uranus squares of 2021 aim to unblock communicative channels between your conscious and unconscious mind. There’s every chance you’ll employ alternative means of accessing these realms, as that’s where the gold of your creative treasure is buried, but it’s important to do so responsibly. Mars sextile Neptune February 13, energizing your ability to envision the next step forward. Sun in Pisces after February 18 facilitates a deep dive into the recesses of your imagination; Full Moon in Virgo February 27 puts practical matters into perspective as you gain valuable insights into integrating specific ideals into real-life conditions.

October 20, 2019, a photograph by Ion Zupcu from his Etudes on Glass series
Hopewell Junction-based photographer Ion Zupcu’s latest body of work draws on his earlier photographs of paper sculptures, though for his Etudes on Glass, Zupcu has moved into a colorful mode, leaving his black-and-white paper portraits behind. The primary colors, graceful curves, and crisp creases of the sculptures belie the work’s formal complexity. Their minimalist rigor brings to mind the repetitive phrases and shifting textures of composer Philip Glass, whose music was a primary influence on this body of work.
“My longtime obsession with the music of Philip Glass inspired me to imagine his music in visual form,” says Zupcu. Determining the appropriate color directions to mirror the sounds of [Glass’s] Etudes, or how to construct visual analogues to his satisfying note strikes/attacks, was as engaging a process as listening to the music itself. Each photograph in Etudes on Glass started with a line drawing; then I considered the relationships between lines, space, forms, light, color, proportions, and the structures of the foreground and background. The resulting paper sculptures were constructed as still lifes in my studio and photographed utilizing a traditional setup—camera, tripod, and natural light.”
Zupcu recommends viewing his photographs while listening to Philip Glass’s Etudes in the background. “Etudes on Glass” is being exhibited through February 20 at ClampArt in Manhattan. Clampart.com. —Brian K. Mahoney
