I was pleased to have one of my paintings included in this group show at Smush Gallery in Jersey City in September 2023.
This series of photographs by artist Mark McKinney comes from a visit to the Como Zoo Conservatory in the summer of 2007. The title reflects the fact that the “nature” was seen and captured “indoors,” resulting in a collection of images reflecting McKinney’s investigation of details perhaps not generally noticed by the casual visitor.
All works are available for $75 each (unframed), and the installation view is from the boardwalk at North Wildwood Beach at the Jersey Shore.
McKinney Arts had a booth at the 2023 Glen Ridge Arts + Eco Fair, featuring paintings by Mark McKinney. This was the first time McKinney Arts has participated in this local street fair.
The 16 artists in this exhibition included Chris Bors, Michael Capobianco, Mike Estabrook, Fred Fleisher, Chris Griffin, Vandana Jain, Mary Mattingly, Mark McKinney, Tricia McLaughlin, Walter John Rodriguez, Zach Seeger, GJA Stewart, Christopher Stuart, Brad Terhune, David Turley, and Woolpunk.
This two day pop-up show featured art by Jennie Booth, Peter Bregoli, Peter Carey, Marguerite Day, Fred Fleisher, Mark McKinney, Tony Nogueira, and Brad Terhune. The exhibition marked a return to the exact same East Village storefront space (526 East 11th Street) where McKinney Arts was in residence from 1996-1997.

This was the first of a series of “itinerant exhibitions,” created by McKinney Arts, where the photographs show a real location, but the art seen installed in any particular location is done so virtually.
This particular location was a boarded-up storefront in South Orange, NJ, and features mosaic-like art works created by Mark McKinney in the late 1980s.
This was my first solo exhibition in many years, perhaps since college.
