5) CNR Castle Gallery Presents "In Retrospect." The College of New Rochelle Castle Gallery Exhibit, 29 Castle St., New Rochelle, NY. Through Sunday, November 4, 2012. In Retrospect  presents the work of three artists— Nava Atlas, Maureen Cummins, and Ann Lovett—who explore contemporary culture through the lens of the past. Their shared source of inspiration is the book, a form that, while intimate and familiar, also carries with it the weight of history and the voice of authority. The artists delved into public and private archives to gather images, documents, texts, and ephemera as source material. Rearranging and combining these found elements with new material, they create provocative new works that expose biases and question assumptions about what we know and how we know it.
