This summer, Good Naked Gallery x The Clearing invite you to MEET ME IN THE TREES, an immersive group exhibition that winds through the woods of Cragsmoor, NY, where sculpture dangles from branches, hovers in clearings, or rests—like bodies—on the forest floor. The exhibition will be open Saturday & Sunday, July 19th & 20th from 12-6pm.

The forest becomes a new kind of exhibition space, one that feels increasingly appropriate in this American moment. As institutions crack and grid systems fray, the white cube feels less neutral than ever. In contrast, the woods offer no false purity—they demand awareness, humility, and time. You have to walk to find the work. You sweat to see it.

This year’s show presents more than 20 artists whose practices range from intimate gestures to monumental interventions. A common thread has emerged: many sculptures lie prone, in contact with the ground, echoing vulnerability, protest, collapse. Others float above us, tethered to the branches—offerings, ghosts, or surveillance. The juxtaposition of gravity and suspension, ground and canopy, reveals the tension of living in a moment when bodies are at risk, systems are unstable, and visibility is both weapon and balm.

Sculpture has always been an unruly art form. It is heavy, costly to produce, and takes up space. It resists commodification and in this way operates more like poetry—an act of devotion, of witness, of stubborn generosity. The labor behind each piece, the challenge of moving and staging it in a remote forest, becomes part of the offering. These are gifts, placed into the landscape for those who will come find them.

Participating artists include Christine Stiver, Dominic Terlizzi, Zebadiah Keneally, J McDonald, Stephen Shaheen, Grayson Cox, Sophie Kahn, Ingrid Rose, Gracelee Lawrence, Ellie Krakow, Antonia Perez, Trevor King, Jon Kessler, Christopher Lin, Hollis Witherspoon, Matthew Rosenquist, Asif Mian, Angela Conant, Courtney Dudley, Lara Saget.

The Painting Cabin will host a companion small works exhibition featuring Alexander Russi, Sasha Fishman, R. Blair Sullivan, Michael Berryhill, Noah Breuer, Lauren Pakradooni, Mark Rice.

Join us under the trees.
