The Gallery at Windsor hosted an exclusive weekend to celebrate the opening of A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets, an expansive solo exhibition by the leading Costa Rican artist, Federico Herrero. The exhibition, which will run until April 26th, brings together a selection of recent paintings and monotypes by Federico Herrero, who for over twenty years has produced a vast body of works on canvas, paper, walls, and streets, including many site-specific commissions and architectural interventions.

The exhibition, curated by Elena Ketelsen González, assistant curator at MoMA PS1, is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalog published by DelMonico Books, including a foreword by The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, an essay by Ketelsen González, and an interview with artist and Bernardo Mosqueira, chief curator at the Institute for Studies on Latin American Art.

A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets takes its name from a poem by celebrated Costa Rican poet Alfonso Chase (b. 1944), in which he reflects upon the mundane beauty of the sights and sounds of the country that has long inspired his poetry, despite frequent trips to New York City and Europe.

Like Chase, Herrero’s practice often looks beyond his surroundings but remains deeply situated in the lush urban setting of San José, Costa Rica, where he creates geometric abstractions that breathe outwards into the open structures of a city in flux or what Herrero calls “incomplete,” and beyond into the highly ordered cities of the North. From this context emerge works that achieve harmonic resolution while recalling the colors and contours of a city constantly transformed by tropical growth and decay.

“I am delighted to welcome Federico Herrero to exhibit at The Gallery at Windsor,” said The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, Windsor Cofounder and Creative Director of The Gallery at Windsor. “This exciting show follows our long-standing curatorial focus at The Gallery, which has presented a diverse roster of some of the world’s leading contemporary artists for more than two decades. We are thrilled to add Federico to that list.”

The Gallery at Windsor is open to the public by appointment. While there is no admission to visit the Gallery at Windsor, exhibition visitors may support The Windsor Charitable Foundation with a suggested donation of $15. This gift is tax-deductible and is designated to support arts education.

Visit the website for more information and public opening times: windsorflorida.com/gallery.

About Federico Herrero

Federico Herrero’s intensely visual language is rooted in his observations of everyday life in Costa Rica’s ever evolving landscape, especially the way nature and culture collide. In his paintings on canvas, immersive installations, and public works, brightly hued organic shapes jostle against each other as they inhabit and negotiate space. There are dissonances and harmonies, which threaten to momentarily unravel but are bound together with an energy that seems to operate on a nearly atomic scale. They creep along the edges, and often break free of the frame entirely, winding onto the walls and into the crevices of his installations’ spaces.

Color for Herrero is an expression of space, both the absence of space and the abundance of space and the relationship between them. His canvases and installations therefore become exercises in seeing that compel the viewer to experience their environment in novel ways. Of his varied practice Herrero states, “When painting on a canvas, you know there is no transgression; it acquires a rhythm of production that is related to yourself…One deals with a personal universe, the other deals with a social vocation.” Through this duality, Herrero’s practice is essentially a study of liminal spaces – gaps between public and private, canvas and wall, figure and background, work and viewer – always infused with elements of play, pleasure, and humor.

Federico Herrero (b. 1978, San Jose, Costa Rica) was the recipient of the Young Artist’s Prize at the 49th Venice Biennale (2001). He has exhibited extensively in museums worldwide. Recent exhibitions include Tactiles, Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon, Portugal (2022); Barreras Blandas, Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica (2020); Tempo aberto, Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, São Paulo (2019); Open Envelope, Witte de With, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2018); and Alphabet, a site-specific installation for the atrium of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2018). Herrero is also the founder of Despacio and Cero Uno, two contemporary art spaces in his native San Jose, which have served as important forces in the continued development of Central America’s artistic voice. He lives and works in San Jose, Costa Rica.

About Elena Ketelsen González

Elena Ketelsen González is a curator and writer based in Queens, New York, originally from San José, Costa Rica. She is currently an assistant curator at MoMA PS1, where she organized the first New York museum solo exhibition of Leslie Martinez (2023).

Stretching 47 acres alongside the Indian River Lagoon, the North Village will offer 34 homesites and six row houses and features 26.5 acres of natural area and 9.7 acres of lake and estuary.

“Welcoming this exciting new chapter of the Windsor community is a major milestone, and we are excited to share our reimagined vision,” said Betsy Hanley, President of Windsor Real Estate Inc. and President & CEO of Torwest Inc. “We have engrained the history and tradition that is associated with the Windsor prestige into the North Village while infusing a greater focus on the environment and well-being of our members.”

 Originally designed by renowned town planners Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk of DPZ CoDesign, Windsor offers timeless architecture and landscape design that celebrates its tropical and unspoiled setting. The North Village will build on the design of the original Windsor plan, continuing the community’s thoughtfully crafted aesthetic while introducing an even greater commitment to sustainability.

DPZ CoDesign has returned to design the plan for the North Village, focusing on principles of sustainability, walkability, healthy living, and community values. Prospective buyers will have the opportunity to design their homes with some of the nation’s leading architects who have been approved for the North Village. The neighborhood will follow an updated code that will bring a subtle evolution of the Windsor style while incorporating building practices to achieve a high level of sustainable innovation as well as a lower environmental impact. Key features, including courtyards, single-room depths and a light color palette will remain in the code; however, details will be modified to engender a more contemporary aesthetic.

As sustainability and the connection to nature is a key component of the North Village, a top-tier landscape and environmental design team has been formed to create guidelines and standards for both community and private spaces. The team includes Dept., Edwina von Gal, Beth Dowdle, and Farr Associates; they will each play an integral part of bringing the vision for the North Village to life. Drawing inspiration from the Indian River Lagoon’s rich ecology, the team will incorporate native plants and water features to enhance the natural surroundings and weave the North Village seamlessly into its environs.

To reduce their ecological footprint, all homes will be required to achieve a level of certification through a program created by the Passive House Institute US (Phius) which aims to create safe, resilient, comfortable and energy efficient homes.

“The North Village is a special opportunity to reimagine how residential communities can be stewards of the environment and strengthen the fragile ecosystems of the Indian River Lagoon,” said Isaac Stein, Design Principal at Dept. “The landscape at the North Village is guided by ecological principles and aims to bolster biodiversity, reduce resource-intensive landscape maintenance, and create a curated outdoor setting that improves the health and well-being of both people and nature.”

The prioritization of an active and wellness-full living experience in the North Village is further evident through the wide array of indoor and outdoor amenities, including a 12,620-square-foot fitness and wellness center equipped with studio space for cardio, strength and flexibility, spa treatment rooms, relaxation spaces and a juice bar; an abundance of naturally landscaped greenspaces including a park, scenic trails for walking, biking or horseback riding, and firepits; an observation deck; a kayak launch with equipment storage and direct lagoon access; and much more.

Life at Windsor and in its new North Village aims to be endlessly interesting and enriching for members with spaces for socializing at the Clubhouse overlooking the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed golf course and at the recently renovated Beach Club overlooking the ocean. The Town Hall, Exedra and Village Centre Pergola host cultural performances and members’ private events. Additionally, Windsor’s full-scale Equestrian Centre, Stan Smith-designed Tennis Centre and Croquet Greensward are iconic features of the property. The Gallery at Windsor is home to important works of art from the George Weston Collection and is host to seasonal museum-caliber exhibitions of contemporary art.

Sales and marketing for the North Village are exclusively handled by Windsor Real Estate, Inc. Prices are upon request. For more information on the North Village, please visit www.windsorflorida.com/the-north-village/ or call (772) 388-8400.

The Gallery at Windsor is pleased to present A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets, an expansive solo exhibition of work by Costa Rican artist Federico Herrero, which will be on view from January 27 through April 26, 2024. This exhibition, curated by Elena Ketelsen González, Assistant Curator at MoMA PS1, is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue published by DelMonico Books, including a foreword by The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, an essay by Ketelsen González, and an interview with the artist and Bernardo Mosqueira.

A Piece of Waterfall in the Sound of Crickets brings together a selection of recent paintings and monotypes by Herrero, who for over twenty years has produced a vast body of works on canvas, paper, walls, and streets, including many site-specific commissions and architectural interventions. The exhibition takes its name from a poem by celebrated Costa Rican poet Alfonso Chase (b. 1944), in which he reflects upon the mundane beauty of the sights and sounds of the country that has long inspired his poetry, despite frequent trips to New York City and Europe.

Like Chase, Herrero’s practice often looks beyond his surroundings but remains deeply situated in the lush urban setting of San José, Costa Rica, where he creates geometric abstractions that breathe outwards into the open structures of a city in flux or what Herrero calls “incomplete”, and beyond into the highly ordered cities of the North. From this context emerge works that achieve harmonic resolution while recalling the colors and contours of a city constantly transformed by tropical growth and decay.

Vivid colors merge together to mirror overgrown terrains, while muted hues evoke sun-weathered buildings, as lines blur together to suggest a landscape view from above or the silhouette of a figure in motion. Triangles—both right-side up and upside down—conjure images of volcanoes or mountains. Shapes fall into each other to form precarious yet balanced compositions, reflecting an ever-changing topography, while newer paintings like Lost at Sea (2023) verge on the figurative, resembling a ferry crossing an expanse of ocean.

These paintings speak to Herrero’s profound connection to the territory he works from, in which he—and his studio—occupy the space where the human-made becomes entangled with the natural landscape. Together, the works in the exhibition demonstrate Herrero’s maturity as a painter who over two decades has made sensuous works that are rooted in a profound understanding of the interplay between color, form, intuition, and the place that spurs their creation.

“I am delighted to welcome Federico Herrero to exhibit at Windsor,” said The Hon. Hilary M. Weston, Windsor Cofounder and Creative Director of The Gallery at Windsor. “This exciting show follows our long-standing curatorial focus at The Gallery, which has presented a diverse roster of some of the world’s leading contemporary artists for more than two decades.”

Federico Herrero was the recipient of the Young Artist’s Prize at the 49th Venice Biennale (2001). He has exhibited extensively in museums worldwide. Recent exhibitions include Tactiles, Kunsthalle Lissabon, Lisbon, Portugal (2022); Barreras Blandas, Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, San Jose, Costa Rica (2020); Tempo aberto, Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói, São Paulo (2019); Open Envelope, Witte de With, Rotterdam, the Netherlands (2018); and Alphabet, a site-specific installation for the atrium of the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (2018).

His work is in the permanent collection of numerous institutions including the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan; Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Japan; Tate Modern, London, UK; MUDAM, Luxembourg; MUSAC, Castilla y León, Spain; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; The Solomon R.

Windsor, a 472-acre private residential community located along Florida’s Treasure Coast, is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Ryan Skipton as the course’s newest Director of Golf. With over twenty years of professional experience, Skipton will oversee Windsor’s 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed championship golf course. As part of his role, he will be introducing the newest golf technology to Windsor, along with a newly hired PGA Professional team.

A graduate of Coastal Carolina University’s PGA Golf Management program, Skipton most recently served as the Director of Golf for The Ford Field & River Club in Richmond Hill, GA. Previously, he held positions with the National Golf Links of America in Southampton, NY; The Creek in Locust Valley, NY; the Dye Preserve in Jupiter, FL; and Pebble Beach Golf Links, CA. In 2021, Skipton received the Georgia PGA Professional Development Award.

“For more than three decades, Windsor has prided itself on its best-in-class golf program, offering a unique approach to golfers at every level,” said Betsy Hanley, President of Windsor Real Estate, Inc. “We are excited to see the leadership, innovation and new technology Ryan will bring to the course at Windsor.”

Skipton plans to introduce new technology to Windsor’s golf program including the Trackman 4, a cutting-edge dual radar launch monitor that captures data for the entire ball fight and club data from impact. This new technology will offer players real-time feedback and suggestions for improvement of their golf game.

With a goal of continuing to promote the game of golf to members at any level, Skipton has recruited five new PGA Professional staff to join him at Windsor. The additional staff will allow for a stronger presence on the course where they will monitor play and be available to golfers throughout the day. The team also will help with structured clinics and teaching programs aimed at beginners as well as men and ladies. One of the new Windsor hires will serve as a dedicated on-site club fitter.

“I have always admired the golf offering at Windsor, from the challenge of the course to the strong focus on member enjoyment” said Ryan Skipton. “I am thrilled to begin this journey at Windsor and to continue to elevate the golf experience for the community and its growing membership.”

Windsor’s 18-hole golf course was originally designed in 1991 by legendary golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. In 2019, Jones Jr. returned with his team to carry out an extensive renovation of the 120-acre course that recaptured the original design intent and updated golf holes in concert with today’s game. Highlights of the renovation include replacement of grass on all greens, tees, fairways, and roughs; enlargement and reorientation of tee boxes; and restoration of original hole locations and bunker shapes. To remain ecologically sensitive and reduce the golf club’s carbon footprint, the renovation introduced a more drought-tolerant variety of Bermuda grass, reduced areas that need to be mowed, and a new state-of-the-art irrigation system. The Windsor course allows all members to play at their own pace, as golfers enjoy a no-tee time policy.
