Celebrate Creativity

This weekend is the Bushwick Open Studios. There is an overwhelming amount of art to see. If you are in the NYC area, it is a must do event.

I have a small digital frame loaded with my latest images (Corporal Manifestations) at the Loom Gallery Space on 1087 Flushing Ave.

Next week I will be installing my installation Undisclosed Particulars on Governors Island for Figment, which is another must go event.

Arts in Bushwick is pleased to present the second annual Seeking Space exhibition! This show seeks to give a platform to artists from Bushwick and beyond who may not have been able to exhibit in their own studios, bringing together a diverse set of works in an alternative space. Last year, the show featured over 30 artists, and included paintings, sculptures, and even sound art. This year’s show will include photography, video art, paintings, and much more.

The exhibition will be located in the central area of the Loom, a creative multi-use complex located in the center of the BOS festival. The show will be open to the public Saturday June 4th & Sunday June 5th, 12pm-7pm, as well as daily for the two weeks following.

Along with the diverse range of artwork on display, we will have refreshments and conversations! The Loom is located at the heart of the BOS festival, so Seeking Space will be on your way as you move from one map area to another.

The show will be curated by two local artists, Jillian Salik and Julia Sinelnikova.
