Erin Gleason "To Gather"
FiveMyles
This event has ended.
To Gather; is a collection of performative and architectural artifacts from a cross section of Crown Heights social spaces. Bringing a local perspective to urban flux, the artwork raises questions about perceptions of "authenticity" in a rapidly changing neighborhood.
Visitors to the installation in FiveMyles Garage are encouraged to hang out on the stoop, converse in the makeshift pulpit, and relax in the barbershop chair. A barber will be on hand opening night, as well as hop-hop duo DobleFlo, vocal artist Malesha Jessie, poet Lynne Procope, and comedian Elon James White. For the remainder of the exhibition, the public is invited to linger and use the artwork as their own gathering place.
