The Gowanus Ballroom, April 2011

about the show

Art + Architecture 2011, a diverse and multidisciplinary exhibition of emerging artists, was comprised of works that examine, question, or outright challenge everyday interpersonal and contextual relationships.

Through the integration of a variety of media including painting, sculpture, video, performance and works on paper, the installation weaved a wide ranging fabric of form and style, which enveloped the immense Gowanus Ballroom and transformed the space into a thoroughly interactive experience. This afforded both artist and audience a chance to dismantle and construct anew one’s perceived environment. By alternately reinforcing and undermining the suppositions defining social and physical arrangements, the exhibition implored participants to reexamine the boundaries delineating self.
