"Black and White" Exhibition
Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition
This event has ended.
Five thousand people annually attend our Summer Art Show at our gallery, a Civil War-era coffee warehouse in Red Hook. This year's show has a new feature - an 8,000 square foot space devoted to a special juried section. There the top 100 pieces in all media, large and small from artists all around regional NY will be exhibited. With its trendy restaurants, bars, boutiques and billion dollar view of the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor, it is an exciting place to visit and exhibit.
The theme of this summer's show is Black and White. We bathe in the beauty of color and spin thousands of words describing the experience that the cone cells transmit to our brain. In reality, they are not nearly as numerous as our rods, the cells that register light and dark, the black and white of our experience. Our rods are less articulated in language; fewer words are generated to describe that experience. Black and white is primal, the underneath, the foundation, of the opulence of color; black and white is where we register motion and, when the cones do not have sufficient light, our rods optimize our survival in the night woods.
Black and White intends to explore this underground of survival and few words.
