Tour | Brooklyn Graffiti and Street Art Tour


New York City is a mecca for graffiti and street art, making it a very attractive playground for artists from around the world.

The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, but it’s Bushwick’s industrial landscape that’s attracting the street artist. If you came looking for 1960′s Greenwich Village, you’ll find something brewing in Bushwick. This tour takes place Thursdays through Sundays at 2pm.

Opening Reception | Exposures by Barbara Probst


This German artist presents three ­­­­contemplative works that further develop the method she uses to make her multi-part Exposures. Probst sets up multiple cameras and uses a radio-controlled shutter release in order to capture a single moment. In each of the new works, a central narrative is present but elusive and the purposeful actions in her earlier works give way to the introspection of a distracted camera.
