“Unframed” Exhibition
FiveMyles
This event has ended.
Unframed presents particular visions of our daily environment through photographs, drawings, and a sculpture that stand on their own - without frames or pedestals.
ARTIST:
Michael Britto: Having spent 30 years shooting film and becoming a master printer, I learned to crop my images in the camera. It is a great pleasure to catch a child at a particular moment of enjoyment and to be able to present what my eye and the camera see without hesitation and without further editing.
Floor Grootenhuis: Next time you get a bagel to go perhaps you can discover who made your paper bag? Often the maker(s) name(s) are stamped on the bottom of the bag with the bag’s birth date. This work marks an invisible collaboration; both with the bag maker, the collectors and myself - a three-part symbiosis coming together in a new man made organic form. In this age where electronic devices are replacing intimacy and face-to-face connections, my commitment is to bring the natural, physical and everyday world back into the human experience. The process is the piece and the experience is in the participation.
Francelle Jones: I went to see a reggae artist named Luciano in prospect park and he was singing a song called “Remember when we were Kings and Queens”. Well I downloaded the song and as I was riding my bike it finally hit me. Some people look at my images and see poverty in some of the faces. They see the down trodden, but I look and see kings and queens. I also think it is a good time especially with everything that is happening in the neighborhood that we are reminded that we are all powerful and beautiful!
Gustavo Azrael Torres: Born and raised in Jersey City, NJ, I have been creating art since the age of three. For me, art has been more of a creative outlet, it has helped me overcome traumatic events in my life such as being bullied, and staying in unhealthy relationships. My pieces are like journal entries, inspired by personal experiences in my life.
Kerwin Williamson: I started pursuing fine-art more intensely in 2001 while still working on my first comic/graphic novel (Land of the rising sun). By 2006, I began working in film-photography [black&white]. The urban setting of Brooklyn & Manhattan was my first subject, then I moved into digital & photographing, art & music events by 2011. My current project [Rise Of The Young Ones] focuses on “Modern architecture”, aspects of urban change, the historic-social causes for it, and implications. The way I see it, art encompasses everything; the way we live, dress, eat, think, feel, and interact with each other. Art is the reason, art is the way.
