Whether you are solidly single or happily hitched, Valentine’s Day is one of those pesky holidays that you just can’t get away from. There’s chocolate, those awful heart-shaped balloons, and hell, the “spirit” even creeps into special tasting menus, movies, and our subway commute. While we can’t control the love-sick atmosphere around us, there is the one, never faltering constant of contemporary art that can hold you together. This week, there are some shows that celebrate, vilify, or flat out ignore the existence of the lovey-dovey nature around. From one cynic to another, this week I find my love at these incredible exhibitions all around Bushwick that are totally worth falling for.
#1 Kaleidescope @ Space 776 (THU 6-8PM)
Space 776 acts an “object chamber” for these seven artists as they share their interpretations of beauty and diversity inKaleidoscope. Viewers are invited to examine the different facets of art and installation that are shared as an indication of the energy that has been buzzing lately around Space 776.
When you look through the kaleidoscopic lens, you see the unpredictable. Event curator Gabriel Hopson cannot exactly foresee the outcome of every work in its final state for the show. In this same vein, be sure to check out Tom Koehler’s mixed media installation that will be taking place in the basement.
