Sky Hopinka

Broadway is pleased to present River Child the gallery’s second solo exhibition by Hudson Valley-based artist Sky Hopinka. Centered on the New York debut of two recent video works The Island Weights and Kicking the Clouds, the show embodies the artist’s peripatetic existence, gathering footage and inspiration for his writing along the way. In addition, he has created a group of unique photographs hand-inscribed with his poems and prose which effectively distill the impact of the moving image works.

For its inaugural exhibition, Broadway is pleased to present Lore, a solo show by artist and filmmaker Sky Hopinka. Centered around a 16mm looping film projection and including a suite of photographs hand-inscribed with related texts, the show succinctly encapsulates Hopinka’s ambitious and wide-ranging practice. Harnessing modes of filmmaking from feature-length non-fiction to skewed documentary to poetic experimental reveries, the artist enlists image, music and language in penetrating the spectral condition of a perpetual afterlife that infuses contemporary Indigenous existence—and that this medium so effectively evokes in his hands.
