On the occasion of Bushwick Open Studios, ARCH Production & Design NYC teams up with curator Claudia Eve Beauchesne to present A+, a multi-disciplinary exhibition of works by ARCH members and other Brooklyn-based artists.
Bushwick’s large studio spaces and diverse creative community inspire an expansive conception of art. Media mix freely and eclectic influences fuse into new forms. Art, design and architecture bleed into one another. A+ is a celebration of the formal experiments emerging from that milieu.
The selected artists revisit ideas that originated in the mid-twentieth century, using them as springboards for investigations into the untapped potential of familiar concepts and materials. Allusions to dome culture, inflatable architecture, minimalism, kitsch, the surf and skate subcultures, abstract expressionism, mid-century modern design and obsolete technology are infused with a contemporary sensibility. A+ draws from the recent past to reflect the preoccupations of artists working in and around Bushwick today.
Participating Artists: Dan Baker, Ivin Ballen, Bittertang, Evan Collier, Zak Goodman, Jack Henry, Ian Horn, Pierre Le Hors, Julian Lorber, Meghan Petras, Thomas Robinson, Andriana Santiago, Brian Keith Sharrock, and Brooke Taylor.
