Re-Framing 95

Interactive Art Installation and Walking Tours​

Book A Guided Tour

Art installations and walking tours will highlight historic elements of the Greenwichich Historical Society campus now dominated by I-95.

An interactive public art installation created by artist Aaron Asis, reframes these historic views in conjunction with guided tours led by Justin Rivers, Untapped New York’s Chief Experience Officer will challenge us all to consider the highway not as an obstruction, but as an evolving element of the town’s historical tapestry

Re-Framing Installation

Around the campus of the Greenwich Historical Society you will find three golden frames, each creating a perspective to highlight I-95 in one direction and a view back towards the historic campus in the other. Go out and find all three frames and frame I-95 for yourself! When you locate them, think like an artist (if you aren’t one already). How could you make the presence of I-95 into something worthy of being called art?

Re-Framing Tours

Hidden on the balcony of the Bush Holley house you will find a fourth golden frame, sharing a unique and stunning vantage point of I-95. It was the same vantage point that artist, Elmer MacRae had from his studio and one which served as an inspiration for him when painting. This frame is only accessible to the public by guided  tours of the Bush-Holley House.

Re-Framing Exhibition

Inside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find a temporary exhibition showcasing a selection of impressionist paintings created by the Cos Cob Art Colony artists that incorporate the immediate landscape around the Bush-Holley House. Look down and you’ll see the same selection manipulated by artist Aaron Asis to show how they might have looked if I-95 existed in the early 20th century. Check them out and let us know what you think!

Re-Framing Activities

Just outside the Permanent Collections Gallery you will find activities that invite you to create your own visions for Re-Framing 95. First, peek through the fifth golden frame mounted on the Historical Society Glass for some inspiration. Then create your own golden frame and/or framed image of I-95. Consider what it means when you put a frame around something? We also invite you to show us what you see through that frame. You can also consider the role I-95 plays in your own history. Become a part of the collection and share your creation with GHS Staff!
