The art scene in Bushwick is as unique and diverse as its residents. Just as we hate typecasting ourselves, our galleries are both true to their identities yet flexibly push their own boundaries (and ours!) in order to continue to challenge and engage our community’s many faces. This week’s art picks offer an array of themes and medium – from exploration of modern myths to sustainable societies, and from abstraction to interaction – that are guaranteed to entice and excite each of Bushwick’s multiple facets.
1. #FUTUREMYTH @ 319 Scholes (Thursday, April 18, 7-10PM)
Delve into a group of artists’ explorations of the fate of mythmaking in contemporary society through their use of digital techniques. The show, curated by Christina Latina and Daniel Levya, investigates the use of the icon as a mythical symbol and the role they play surrounding a collective societal unconscious.
2. SPRING FEVER FESTIVAL @ Secret Project Robot (Saturday April 19, 3-8PM)
Celebrate the arrival of spring with this all day rain or shine event, complete with open studios, live music from Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Black Dice and K-Holes and even a tulip festival! Tickets are available in advance ($12) or at the door ($15), and proceeds will go benefit the nonprofit’s mission to provide an experimental art platform to artists and the entire community.
