Put down the mop and windex, don’t even think about tackling your closet! While spring days may mean a change over from winter to summer wardrobe transformations for some, to me all it means is longer daylight hours to explore more of Bushwick’s art! The season for MFA shows, open studios (only six weekends away from Bushwick Open Studios!), and thematic group shows is upon us, meaning more to see, not just in Bushwick but all over the city. To help get you in shape for this challenge, we’ll ease you into it with this week’s top five art events.
1. NEW EYES FOR NEW SPACES and OPEN STUDIOS @ ISCP (Friday, April 26, 6-9pm)
The International Studio and Curatorial Program opens their doors this weekend for three days, showing off the work of their 27 artists hailing from 20 different countries. The event will provide a chance to meet the artists, discuss their work, and allow them to share their experiences of their time as residents. With events all weekend, including the concurrent exhibition New Eyes for New Spaces–a group exhibition that explores multiple representations and creations of space–and artist talk on Friday and panel discussion on Sunday, ISCP is the place this weekend to see the culmination the artist’s experiences and work while in Bushwick.
