David Eustace "Project for Calendar Studies"
Trestle Gallery (at Brooklyn Art Space)
This event has ended.
Canadian artist David Eustace exhibits his canal-dipped paintings at the Brooklyn Artists Gym Gallery. Concurrent with the exhibition, Eustace offers free boat tours of the Gowanus Canal, where the work was made, and where visitors can experience the tidal canal for themselves.
The exhibition revolves around four large paintings that were hung in the canal at three-month intervals. Each canvas was primed beforehand with compositions made from symbols, notations, & references used to account for and keep track time. Raw iron filings were used in each work, to help develop the central image.
