It wouldn’t be the weekend without a run through Bushwick’s art playground, scaling imagined landscapes, moving through installations and reading visual diaries. Schema Projects brings us 15 artists who use paper as a serious play tool while Songs for Presidents plays with a paper job application found on the streets of Midtown. Attempts to record nature and all-immersive environments appear to us at the galleries of 56 Bogart, and BFP Creative treats us to the work select art handlers from the Whitney Museum in their latest show, “Temporary Storage.”
#1 “Mystic Renegade” @ CHASM Gallery (FRI 6-9 pm)
56 Bogart Street
Based in Australia and the UK, contemporary art force Christian Thompson exhibits a deep understanding of his Bidjara (Indigenous people of central South-West Queensland) heritage in “Mystic Renagade.” In a curated selection of photographs spanning eight years, CHASM describes Thompson’s self-portraits as “flamboyantly performative,” speaking to a wider audience while unraveling layers of symbolic significance with respect to personal identity, memory and landscape.
