Charlap Hyman & Herrero curated Widow’s Walk, an exhibition of historical and contemporary art at Martha's Vineyard's Winter Street Gallery. Widow’s Walk is named for the architectural element present on the roofs of many houses on Martha’s Vineyard, evoking the wives of mariners who watch for their spouses’ return in vain as the ocean takes their lives. In the gallery, the floor, the walls, and the ceilings are marked by smoke damage with impressions of objects and artwork formerly present. These traces and absences speak to the paradoxical beauty of widow’s walks and recall their most pragmatic function — as accesses to the tops of chimneys so that sand could be poured into the shoot during a fire.

Widow's Walk presented works by Carmen Almon, Carlo Bugatti, Alphonse Cytere, Leonor Fini, Pieter de Grebber, Camille Henrot, Jenny Jesky, Matthew Leifheit, Thad Lovett, Eli Ping, Miroslav Tichý, and Andra Ursuta.
