Angelica Yudasto, a 2020 Boyd’s Station PLACE & SPACE creative resident, created works dealing with modes of self-reflection and body identity. Using glass and silk fabrics, which naturally lends itself to precarity and vulnerability, Yudasto wanted the material to go beyond its naturally seductive medium.
Yudasto’s work created at the Boyd’s Station PLACE & SPACE residence is currently on exhibit at the Ki Smith Gallery in NYC.

Boyd's Station AMERICA REIMAGINED project has been updated with three amazing photographer's essays. Two follow along behind the scenes of Santas in Michigan and Hawaii by photographers Akash Pamarthy and Shafkat Anowar and the other story is a somber and telling look inside a COVID-19 ward of a hospital near Columbus, Ohio photographed by Gaelen Morse.
The America Reimagined project was started at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic as a way of engaging and mentoring students while schools and other programs were shut down. The simple goal of this documentary project was to fill some of the gaps while the coronavirus pandemic kept students from campus. The work that has been produced has been truly outstanding.
This project is made possible with the generous support of Photoshetler and American Reportage’s photographers Pete Marovich, Jeff Swensen, and Rod Lamkey Jr and the rest of the American Reportage collective photographers along with the dedicated, behind the scenes editing and mentor team making this all happen - Michael E. Keating, Molly Roberts, Cathaleen Curtiss, Charles Borst, Stephen Crowley, and Nikki Kahn.
This project has grown into an impressive and important visual documentary photographed mainly by student and emerging photojournalists documenting the United States during these difficult times and will continue to document throughout 2021.

Boyd’s Station invited Price, a New York City-based artist, to Harrison County and Boyd's Station to take part in the soft-launch phase of the Boyd's Station artist residence program. The goal was for Price to create work while evaluating best practices for Boyd’s Station artist residence program called PLACE+SPACE to launch fully in 2021.
When the COVID-19 emergency fully became a realization and due to safety and uncertain times in NYC, Luke continued to shelter in place in Boyd for five months during the coronavirus pandemic while continuing to produce work that would be exhibited from Sept. 30-Nov. 7 at the new Ki Smith Gallery space in the East Village.
Boyd's Station is very excited to have helped Luke in making this collection of work become a reality along with Ki Smith Gallery showcasing this work in NYC. Complete details about the Luke Ivy Price exhibit can be found here.
