Metro North Station: Allen Pl, Chappaqua, NY 10514 

Ultra-endurance Athlete Eric Gelber will attempt to take on 100 miles and 10,000 push-ups to raise money for cancer research during Blood Cancer Awareness Month. 

Over the past twenty years Eric has raised more than $2.6 million for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) through several high-profile endurance feats, including the New York City Marathon, the 135-mile Badwater Ultramarathon (widely considered one of the world’s toughest races for its extreme temperatures and elevation gain) and 200 miles running followed by another 200-mile rowing challenge in New York’s Central Park. The MMRF is the largest nonprofit in the world solely focused on accelerating a cure for each and every multiple myeloma patient. While Eric’s efforts were initially inspired by a family friend Anita, who succumbed to myeloma in 2012, along the way he has grown close with many other patients and their loved ones, giving him a front-row seat to the progress the MMRF has helped make possible.

Come support him and myeloma patients by cheering Eric on or joining him in some miles and pushups September 26–27, 2026 at the town’s Metro North station.

It is deeply meaningful to share these sculptures at the Jay Heritage Center, a place rooted in the history of American diplomacy. Here, they connect the story of our modern embassies abroad with John Jay’s legacy as a statesman at home and diplomat abroad. — Jorge Otero-Pailos
<h3>About the Work</h3>
Analogue Sites is a series of steel sculptures by Spanish-American artist and preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos, created in 2019 from fencing salvaged during the preservation of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, designed by Finnish-American modernist master Eero Saarinen. Otero-Pailos transformed this material as a way of preserving its layered history and drawing attention to the U.S. Embassy Program—an unprecedented Cold War–era initiative by the State Department that made modernist architecture and the arts central to American diplomacy abroad. These sculptures raise awareness of these embassies at a time when they are being decommissioned and left with little to no preservation protection.
At the Jay Heritage Center, two works are placed symmetrically in the restored garden parterres, framing the central path. Their mirrored placement reflects themes of balance and reciprocity central to diplomacy and honors John Jay’s historic missions to Spain, France, and England, and his role as a founding figure in American diplomacy.
Sculptures from this series have been exhibited in New York on Park Avenue; in London at Regent’s Park and at Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom; and in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American Design.

Otero-Pailos is an internationally recognized New York–based artist, architect, and preservationist known for his monumental casts of historical buildings. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Venice Art Biennale and the British Parliament, and his works are held in major museum collections. Otero-Pailos also teaches and directs the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University GSAPP.
