YUKO ODA .OCTOBER 19-28 CURATED BY MATTHEW GARRISON Research shows that behavior and perception are directly linked to the presence of color. The six artists in Color Correction investigate the exaggerated and enhanced colors of the new millennium. In turn, this exploration of contemporary esthetics reshapes perceptions of nature, history and current events. Sept. 21 - Nov.4, 2006.

Brooklyn Museum of Art "Los Zapatos de Lorraine" and "Evil Pirate Woman" are from my two-part series of color and monochromatic photographs entitled "Movies I'll Never Make."
In the first "Movies" series, photographs of run-down or abandoned drive-in movie theaters stand alone and unprotected, often in harsh sunlight or dreary gray afternoon haze. An entertainment dinosaur, the blank outdoor movie screen serves as not only a window onto an era long before that of the DVD, but also a mirror onto which our dreams of glamour and romance confront intimations of mortality. The second "Movies" series consists of aggregated groups of photographs (usually three or more) creating a single work. Out of these "storyboards," featuring drastic shifts in viewpoint and scale, curious narratives emerge --ambiguous, dramatic and written and directed by the viewer. The storyboard of "Los Zapatos de Lorraine" evokes not only the claustrophobic, mysterious and often ominous atmosphere of film noir, but also the lush romance and looming existential emptiness of a John Cassavettes film. The piece is also highly personal: the shoes made of floral brocade are from the late 1950's and belonged to my Aunt Lorraine. A seemingly conventional Midwesterner, she had her secrets: I remember my surprise when I learned that the CB "handle" --the mid-1970's radio moniker not unlike today's fanciful email addresses-- she had chosen for herself was "Cat Woman." More in the tradition of an adventure film, "Evil Pirate Woman" is a portrait of a sexy and dangerous pirate and the landscape in which she carries out her nefarious activities. Yet in the midst of it all is a moment of contemplative calm: a paradoxical combination of action and reflection. Stacy Greene RECENT SHOWS |
Brooklyn Museum Press Release Open House: Working in Brooklyn
Since the 1970s, Brooklyn has experienced an artisitic renaissance as emerging and mid-career artists have increasingly moved to the borough. Attracted by the availability of large, affordable spaces, this flourishing community now includes hundreds of artists and more than fifty active art galleries in such areas as Williamsburg, Greenpoint, D.U.M.B.O., Fort Greene, and Red Hook. Open House: Working in Brooklyn will be the first comprehensive survey of Brooklyn's thriving and varied art scene. The exhibition will include some of the best work being done in painting, sculpture, installation, drawing, photography, film, and video by some of Brooklyn's most extraordinary talents. In addition, public programs accompanying the exhibition will feature dance, music, and poetry created in Brooklyn. This landmark exhibition is being presented in conjunction with the reopening of the Museum's front entrance pavilion and public plaza, designed by Polshek Partnership Architects. Like the new entrance, this exhibition is intended to heralld the new spirit of Brooklyn. Curated by: Charlotta Kotik, Curator and Tumelo Mosaka. 200 Eastern Parkway |
