EveNSteve are pleased to announce the fifth anniversary of the Hayfield Art Gallery with the opening of No Ones Home, a vibrant new exhibition which has the distinction of being the largest exhibition of 110 photographs ever, worldwide.
The Hayfield Art Gallery is the creation of EveNSteve, the husband-and-wife team of author Eve O. Schaub and artist Stephen Schaub. It is outdoors, free, and open to the public and is located in Pawlet, Vermont. Five monumental outdoor artworks compose this year’s exhibition, including one that reaches thirteen feet in height and another that is thirty feet long.
“Together, the works this year relate the story of a girl who is exploring a vibrant, pastoral landscape in a search for answers,” Eve Schaub describes. “We wanted to address this particular moment of uncertainty and ambivalence- and reference cultural methods for controlling chaos, through mythology and storytelling.” Schaub notes that the exhibit is appropriate for all ages.
“Like many kids of the seventies, the 110 was the first camera I ever had,” explains artist Stephen Schaub. “It’s a unique and somewhat strange format, and it’s a little-known fact that photographers can still access 110 film— and cameras— today. The negative is actually about a third the size of 35mm and creates a unique look which becomes even more interesting when you have it do something it was never intended to do: blow it up quite large.”
It was in May of 2020, that EveNSteve installed their first hayfield artwork, “My Heart is Very Big” on the land across the street from their home and art studio, as “a gift to our friends, neighbors, and community.” Over time the installation grew to encompass five monumental outdoor artworks. They have installed a new exhibition every year since.
“What began as a temporary solution to reach viewers during quarantine has evolved,” Stephen Schaub explains. “Now it is an exciting and creative way to reach new audiences. It brings our art out of the gallery and into everyday life.”
The Hayfield Art Gallery has been the subject of news stories on NBC Boston News 10, New England Cable News, WTEN Albany ABC, and WCAX Burlington CBS, as well as articles in Seven Days, the Rutland Herald, and the Times Argus.
Free and open to the public, the Hayfield Art Gallery may be viewed by driving by or by parking in the gallery lot and walking the mown trail through the field. Open dawn till dusk, it is located at 671 River Road in Pawlet Vermont. No Ones Home will be on display until Spring of 2025.
