I am feeling as elated seeing this image on my feed as I’m terrified. My heart is beating faster as I wonder what Paul will think of this. Feels like this project is doing exactly what it was intended to do, but I wasn’t quite prepared for what it would look like in real life. But that’s what art is all about.
Hi everyone! This is a new account I’ve started with catskillwaters exploring connections between art and nature. Think of it as Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy, without Jack Handy, deadly serious and only about art and nature. Now you got it! #cvictorforcatskillwaters #artandnature
This is Paul, owner of the 3 Goldens Convenience Store in Sundown, NY.

Today I overheard the first tree murmur that it’s been a long summer and maybe a rest would feel good. #autumniscoming #cvforcatskillwaters

One of our principal artists Chris Victor: opening reception of Hammer Dance, his solo show in Muroff Kotler Gallery at SUNY Ulster
Chris Victor scouting locations for his installation!
Sadly, this is the last week to check out Sundown, the piece will come down Friday. The podcast continues with episode 3 about to launch. #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #sundown #hurricaneirene #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart
Owner Paul Hnatiw tells us—his store is the only gun AND convenience store in the county. The name of the store, 3 Goldens, refers to Golden Retrievers he used to breed. He no longer does that professionally but he still has his own dogs.
Working on my #catskillwaters project and came across this fresh breath of summer pic. Couldn’t be more grateful for this beautiful land and water. #hudsonvalley #cvforcatskillwaters
It’s official! @ceevictor is starting a site-specific installation at this gun and convenience store located near Blue Hole in Peekamoose mountain. Our reception is on July 20. Stay tuned.
Content, subject, art, nature, self, my leg, this moment, you reading this, the thing-feeling-energy-desire that compels us to do this or that, and of course, the open book of run on sentences that is art and nature into which we can dive as deep as we want. These are a few of my favorite things. #studiothoughts #contemporaryart #cvforcatskillwaters #artandnature
Chris showing his sketch to Paul. I had no idea how he would respond to our idea. Politically he is conservative and a gun rights advocate, with some strong opinions that would place him at the opposite end from positions found in typical supporters of contemporary art. But Paul got right onboard!
Scouting potential spots for site specific work for Catskill Waters. I love this place, X marks the spot, and yes, the pay phone works. #cvforcatskillwaters #catskillwaters #chrisvictor #sculpture #installationart #contemporaryart #fineart
Conceptual sketch for his installation by Chris Victor. In this version he uses cinder blocks and water bottles as main components, but anything can change...
More compelling sites for my Catskill Waters project. #cvforcatskillwaters #catskillwaters #chrisvictor #sculpture #installationart #contemporaryart #fineart #grahamsvilleny
Chris, Paul, and his pooch discussing the installation of Chris’s kinetic work. He’ll be making it onsite, in between the payphone (still works!) and coke machine.
Walls found in the Catskills... Sundown, the installation by @ceevictor is up through the summer. It’s located at a gun-and-convenience store near Blue Hole that was hit hard by Hurricane Irene. It is a wall at the height of the water during the storm, and is created with children’s clothes stuffed with sand from The hurricane, empty water bottles, cinder blocks, and a lot of other smaller found objects. The process of working with the store owner was documented and published in our podcast Sundown, available on Spotify and Anchor. Huge thanks to @rauterland and our sponsor @nycheadwaters .
A rough draft, rehearsal, mock-up of my piece Sundown, to be installed next week. Opening 3-6pm, Saturday July 27th #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #sundown #hurricaneirene #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart

On many levels this was a hard piece to make and I f you see it I think you’ll understand. Sundown is up until the end of summer. You can follow along on a podcast also called Sundown by catskillwaters #catskillwaters #cvforcatskillwaters #sitespecificart #sundown #hurricaneirene #mixedmediaart #chrisvictor #sculpture #contemporaryart #fineart
