June 1- 3, Opening Friday June 1st 6 to 9 pm, On view Saturday and Sunday 12 to 6 pm. This show is in conjunction with Greenpoint Open Studios weekend. Over 350 artists and galleries are opening their doors during this yearly arts festival in Greenpoint Brooklyn.
The Natural World explores contemporary landscape through paint, silverpoint, photography, video and sound. Each artist works with organic properties in art, material and landscape to create reference to fleeting moments we encounter in nature and in life. Meredith Allen's “Ice Pops” show cartoon character ice pops melting in the sun, the passage of time evident. Laura Fayer and Rachael Wren’s paintings tears nature up into little strokes of light and paint floating on the picture plane. Laura Fayer, Rachael Wren, Jeremy Stenger and Bryan Osburn explore the mysterious and moody world of a garden at night. Caleb Nussear's silverpoint drawings capture the delicacy of the clouds while Nitin Mukul depicts fleeting impressions of the LA River.
A live score by Nitin Mukul will be presented on Saturday June 2nd at 3 pm. Meredith Allen: “Ice Pops” will be on view by appointment until July 1.
