Danielle Klebes' Wassaic Motorcycle and Painting Club
On view for Upstate Art Weekend June 25-29, 2026 only! Wassaic Motorcycle and Paint Club transforms an actual garage in Wassaic, NY, into a fully constructed, representationally painted, immersive plywood environment that reimagines the rural garage as a nostalgic, performative social space exploring memory, autonomy, and constructed fiction.
Danielle Klebes is an interdisciplinary artist whose work uses painting, sculpture, and installation to examine domestic space. She is interested in themes of instability, temporary and borrowed spaces, and the idea of belonging in contemporary America. Her work situates personal and collective experience within broader economic and political systems. She has exhibited in notable galleries and museums throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. She received her MFA in Visual Arts from Lesley University College of Art and Design in Cambridge, MA, in 2017 and currently lives and works at Wassaic Project in Wassaic, NY.
