BRIC Biennial: Volume I, Downtown Edition
Gallery at BRIC House, New York, Brooklyn, 09/20/2014 - 12/14/2014
ABOUT
In fall 2014 BRIC will launch a major new initiative, the BRIC Biennial. These exhibitions will present the work of emerging and mid-career visual artists working across artistic media, with each edition focusing on different areas of Brooklyn. The first Biennial this fall will survey artists based in downtown Brooklyn and adjacent neighborhoods, a fitting focus given the location of BRIC House in downtown Brooklyn at the edge of Fort Greene, traditionally, an important cultural center in Brooklyn. This exhibition series intends to demonstrate the rich wealth of talent to be found throughout Brooklyn.
Among the artists to be featured in the BRIC Biennial: Volume I, Downtown Edition, are ruby onyinyechi amanze, whose large-scale works on paper have been influenced greatly by her cultural hybridity, as well as by textile design, photography, print-making and architecture.Scherezade Garcia, known for working with found objects, will create a major installation from copies of the Village Voice upon which she will reproduce an image of the sea. Jenna Spevack, an artist whose social art practice is based in sustainable design, has created an audio installation that takes place in a reclaimed wood outhouse in the gallery. Vince Contarino’s paintings simultaneously embrace a graphic language in tandem with the gesture and materiality of abstraction.
