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. The metal was cut and reassembled to spell out LAND in a format reminiscent of Robert Indiana’s 1966 sculpture, LOVE. The anti-climbing plate seen atop the border wall appears here on the upper letters, and the text repeats in four layers to create a dynamic, open structure. As our point of view changes, the text shifts between legibility and abstraction. Galanin…

The seventy-two intensely personal self-portraits included here were made between 1984 and 1986, two years after Williams began studying photography at age 17.

Employing an interdisciplinary, research centered approach, Erbacher seeks to compare and contrast the discourse on invasive species in the natural sciences with the media rhetoric surrounding immigration.

+ Google Map

Frank WANG Yefeng: The House of the Solitary extends from a series of video animations created by Frank WANG Yefeng in the summer of 2020 and reimagined as an uncanny domestic installation for this exhibition, combining poems, 3D rendering, texts sculpted in VR, and distorted soundtracks of airline on-hold music. Sparked by the artist’s unexpected and prolonged lockdown experience in Berlin, the exhibition quietly remarks on the mental paradigm shifts caused by the global isolation of the 2020 pandemic.

Lisha Bai: Joseph’s Room

December 7, 2023 - January 25, 2024
Main Window, One Main Street
Brooklyn, NY 11201 United States
+ Google Map

Lisha Bai’s piecework fabric curtains are inspired by bojagi, traditional Korean wrapping cloths constructed from a variety of different fabrics, as well as quiltmakers from Gee’s Bend, Alabama, whose compositions defy their materiality. For Bai, the technique of joining different fabrics together is a visual metaphor for piecing together influences. The imagery is often an homage to artists who work deftly with light and color and self consciously engage with the traditional idea of paintings as windows. Bai lives and…
