I find myself on a double narration as I tell my Bushbabies about the story of art ahead of us. From works inspired by the famous musings of authors James Joyce and Dylan Thomas, to pieces that draw literary connections from personal histories and present happenings. You’ll drift off to your dreams as I read you an online bedtime story about the hyper-inspired photographers who poetically document their surrounding landscapes, from Bushwick, Brooklyn to Ontario, Canada. Storytelling and art unite! Now let’s start at the beginning…
1. To begin, at the beginning @ NURTUREart (FRI 7 – 9 PM)
As part of a trilogy of exhibitions involving emerging artists and drawing on literary tendencies and observations, NURTUREart presents To begin, at the beginning. Drawing connections from writers like James Joyce and Dylan Thomas, the featured artists are conceptually bound to the transience of revisiting the past while confronting the present. Expanding on old memories, To begin, at the beginning explores the significance of distance itself, stretching physical and temporal limits to match artistic desires and inclinations.
