Booklyn is pleased to present Working Space, a group exhibition of works in progress, prototypes, process ephemera and sketches alongside finished artworks.
In May 2018 Booklyn moved into ArtBuilt Brooklyn, a vibrant new arts community at the Brooklyn Army Terminal that houses art studios, art businesses, art galleries and other arts non-profit organizations. Our opening date was pushed back because of construction setbacks, but we have decided to have an exhibition anyway.
We are embracing the delay by adapting new site-specific programming, with an untraditional and experimental inaugural exhibition to introduce our new space during its transitional growth and the surrounding arts community of ArtBuilt Brooklyn. The exhibition theme parallels the surrounding environment, a working studio under construction, by inviting Booklyn artists and studio neighbors to work out and test their ideas in a public setting. The exhibition becomes a workspace for feedback, constructive critique and conversation. The artwork in the show will grow and evolve over the course of one month as artists are encouraged to continue working on their pieces throughout the exhibition.
