If you’ve ever enjoyed exploring MoMA’s PS1, an art space housed in a former Queens public school, you’ll love rambling around the atmospheric new 78,000 sq ft art space The Campus, housed in a former high school just outside Hudson, NY. Work by nearly 100 artists, mostly represented by NYC galleries Bortolami, James Cohan, kaufmann repetto, Anton Kern, Andrew Kreps and kurimanzutto fills the gym, hallways, classrooms and grounds around the large, low-slung, 1951 building. Organized by Timo Kappeller, the handsomely installed inaugural show includes a metal butterfly sculpture by Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj (whose sculpture inspired by graffiti on school desks is currently on the roof of the Met Museum), text pieces by Jenny Holzer (currently showing at the Guggenheim) installed in a boys shower room, Madeline Hollander’s perpetual rolling metal knots (recently part of her solo show at Bortolami) and much, much more. (Admission is free. Hours: Saturday and Sunday, 12pm – 5pm. On view through Oct 27th.)
