Window (re/production | re/presentation) is pleased to host a new, site-specific work by Florida-based artist, Dana Hargrove. In Search of the Spectacular combines Hargrove’s long-standing interest in culturally mediated landscape with her recent fixation on the cairn as a repetitive and cumulative marker of our encounters with the land, and by extension, with one another. Originally hailing from Scotland, Hargrove’s work is heavily influenced by her own experience of trail walking which is somewhat critical of the contrived accomplishment associated with reaching a summit, or conquering a difficult pass. “Placing a stone on a cairn marks that achievement, but does it not also state a sense of ownership of the view, much in the same way a tourist’s snapshot of the scene would do?” (Hargrove)
Dana Hargrove will be exhibition work in "Women and Abstraction" at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College. "Women and Abstraction" examines the fundamental ways in which women artists working in the United STates have engaged with abstraction.

Meet Dana Hargrove
STORIES & INSIGHTS | April 9, 2024
Dana, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
From a young age, my uncle, an artist himself, introduced me to the possibility of pursuing art as a career when I visited him at art college. I was captivated by the experience, and even at the age of 7 or 8, I began to envision myself following in his footsteps. Later, my uncle generously gave my sister and me lessons in his massive artist’s studio, further fueling my passion for the arts.
