Danielle Klebes: Wassaic Motorcycle and Paint Club
A pop-up exhibition at Upstate Art Weekend 2026
Wassaic Motorcycle and Paint Club transforms an actual garage in Wassaic, NY, into an immersive interactive garage installation featuring plywood moving boxes, tools, motorcycle vests, trophies, and stacks of books, all painted in a colorful, representational style. This constructed third space explores themes of belonging, memory, nostalgia, and autonomy.
