Nicholas Galanin: In every language there is Land / En cada lengua hay una Tierra

May 16, 2023 - March 10, 2024
Brooklyn Bridge Park, 334 Furman Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States
+ Google Map

Nicholas Galanin created this work with the same steel tubing used to construct the U.S.-Mexico border wall, also echoing its 30-foot height.

Blythe Bohnen: Process is Life

September 9 - October 8
A.I.R. Gallery, 155 Plymouth Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States
+ Google Map

A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to announce Process is Life, an exhibition of brushstroke compositions by founding member Blythe Bohnen (1940–2022).

She allowed the painted…
