Open House: Working in Brooklyn
Since the 1970s, Brooklyn has experienced an artistic renaissance as emerging and mid-career artists have increasingly moved to the borough. Attracted by the availability of large, affordable spaces, this community now includes hundreds of artists and more than fifty flourishing art galleries in such areas as Williamsburg, Greenpoint, D.U.M.B.O, and Fort Greene.Open House: Working in Brooklyn is the first comprehensive survey of Brooklyn's art scene. The exhibition included some of the best work being done in painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, film, and video by some of Brooklyn's talent. Among them will be the nonagenarian sculptor Louise Bourgeois, who works in a Dean Street studio; the Swiss-born photographer Christoph Draeger, recently arrived in the borough; and the emerging painter Nancy Drew.
