"The Monster Project" Exhibition
Open Source Gallery
This event has ended.
In a collaborative effort with New York City public school children, Kylin O’Brien is painting giant monsters around the city.
Still in its early stages, the monster project launched its first huge public creatures at the 12th Annual Art Under the Bridge Festival in DUMBO Brooklyn, Sept. 26th-28th 2008.
These creatures are elements of children’s imaginations and reflections of what they find both powerful and frightening. As neighborhood murals, they are transformed into local guardians. They are very much a commentary on our collective strengths and fears.
Kylin’s aim with the monster project is to subtly refine children’s drawings while being true to their vision and energy. The kids’ work is already fine and poignant. The project’s work is to share it, well.
Upon successful completion of the first monster murals, Kylin was awarded and funded by the Brooklyn Arts Council to collaborate with more students and to bring their visions to “roam” on 17th street in and around Open Source Gallery.
