Opening Reception | Integer Overflow by Marc Brotherton: Paintings


From the artist: "My studio practice includes painting, drawing, and design in a visual attempt to be responsive to my immediate surroundings during a time of rapid global change. I strive to keep a spirit of freshness alive in my paintings. The work typically flows out onto the canvas intuitively. I try to be as creative as possible and to explore many ideas, some of which are: technology, communication, spontaneity, humor, politics, and materials. I see my role as an artist to make work that challenges assumptions of what makes a painting, and to move forward by embracing the unknown."

Tour | High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets. The hustle and bustle of the streets induced the City to elevate the railroad trains delivering goods to the commercial buildings. When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park.
