The Halsey Institute hosts between six and ten exhibitions per year. Here is a partial archive of online documentation of recent exhibitions.
Cooperation of Pleasures: the paintings of Julie Evans and Barbara Takenaga
curated by Brian Rutenberg
Oct - Dec, 2005
online exhibition »
This exhibition presents the work of two abstract painters living and working in New York City. According to the curator, “Julie Evans and Barbara Takenaga each bring a sensuality of touch, vibrancy of color, and personal vernacular into a joyous confluence of form. Their paintings burst with luminosity and unpredictability making us aware of the physicality of living and the sheer joy of seeing."

Monkey Paintings
Feb - Mar, 2005
online exhibition »
While Michel is adept with painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and digital imaging, this exhibition features a body of monotypes created during a creative fugue in 1997. A monotype is a one-of-a-kind print made by painting on a sheet of metal or glass and transferring the still-wet-painting to a sheet of paper by hand or with an etching press. Monotype printing is not a multiple-replica process since each print is unique.
Elsewhere: Installations by Sumakshi Singh & Paola Cabal
Jan - Feb, 2005
Paola Cabal »
Sumakshi Singh »
Using the physical history of the space itself as their point of departure, Chicago artists Cabal and Singh will effect subtle changes in the way viewers experience the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art. Through the artists' installed' 'interventions', walls, entryways, windows and lighting will be extended, compressed, articulated, and in other ways modified, playfully engaging viewers in the question of what parts of their visual experience are 'real'- both within the gallery and outside it.
