Easton, PA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition in the Chrin Gallery at the Sigal Museum. Opening August 11, 2022 is\u00a0Easton Nights at the Sigal Museum.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibition is a collaboration with photographer, Peter Ydeen. Featuring over 70 photographs, the selected works explore Peter\u2019s major photography concentration: a series entitled\u00a0Easton Nights<\/em>. Inspired by the poetic works of George Tice, Peter wandered into the surreal and romantic world of Easton\u2019s small hours, where he has become obsessed with the stage like places, which are at once animated, silent and cathartic; all acting as reflections of our uncommon world. The creation of the photography merged with the creation of engaging installations which surround the viewer with his nocturnal visions.<\/p>\n

NCHGS Executive Director Megan van Ravenswaay, \u201cWe are thrilled to collaborate with Peter Ydeen to present this exciting photography exhibition at the Sigal Museum. As a lover of architecture, I appreciate the ability to look at many familiar Northampton County structures through Peter\u2019s eerie and quiet photographic lens. I am left with a very deep appreciation of the built world all around us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter Ydeen said, “Easton Nights is a story which grew from the unique and uncommon valley in which the city lies, and is told with the images of unpeopled landscapes taken at night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Easton Nights at the Sigal Museum<\/em>\u00a0will open to the public on August 11, 2022 and run through May 28, 2023. Thursday through Saturday 10am \u2013 4pm and Sundays 12noon \u2013 4pm. Admission is free on Sundays and free every day for SNAP\/EBT members.<\/p>\n

Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society\u2019s mission is to share the stories of Northampton County\u2019s past to encourage personal reflection, community dialogue, and an understanding of history\u2019s impact on our lives. Guests enjoy exhibitions at the Sigal Museum, accessing their genealogy or family history at the Jane S. Moyer Library and the NCHGS Archives, and dozens of programs, events, workshops, and tours at our three historic house properties: the Jacob Nicholas House, the Mixsell Illick House, and the Bachmann Publick House.<\/em>\u00a0We believe that by exploring local history, we will foster a more respectful, caring, and inclusive community.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Peter Ydeen currently lives in Easton, Pennsylvania and works in New<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>York City. He studied painting and sculpture at Virginia Tech, under Ray Kass,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>(BA), Brooklyn College under Alan D’Arcangelo and Robert Henry and Phillip<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Pearlstein, (MFA Fellowship) and at Skowhegan School of Painting and<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>Sculpture (Scholarship) with visiting artists, Francesco Clemente, Judy Pfaff,<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>William Wegman, Mark Di Suvero and others.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
