The Yager Museum of Art and Culture at Hartwick College will open two new exhibits: "The Study of One Thing: The Zen Arts of Jody Hojin Kimmel, Sensei" and "Memorializing the Underground Railroad: The Harry Bradshaw Matthews Collection."
According to a news release from the college, Jody Hojin Kimmel currently serves as the abbot of the Zen Center of New York City and Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn, and as training director for the Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen Buddhism. "The Study of One Thing" represents nearly four decades of Hojin's art-making practice, from the first time she encountered Zen to the present day, and includes paintings, watercolors, drawings, ceramics and multimedia works, as well as pieces by her workshop students.
