is excited to announce
OUT OF PLUMB: Art by Construction Workers
May 5 to June 22, 2014
Reception, Sunday June 22 from 12 to 2 pm
Out of Plumb is a curated collection of art by construction workers. This unique group of artists became friends while working in the trades. After fourteen years of monthly dinner meetings and taking turns cooking for each other in their homes, they have not felt compelled to name their group, but they did feel compelled to make art. They encourage and support each other in the endeavor of art-making and in all aspects of their lives. Once a year, they mount a group show at Brooklyn Arts Exchange and invite the community to view their work, which uses variety of mediums and found objects.They enjoy the diversity of styles, and it always seems to look good hanging collectively throughout the BAX building.
This curated collection features work by Fred Becker, Art Cabrera, Chris Carlson, Greg Davidek, Shawn Gargagliano, Kent Johnson, Aki Kumono, Ron Mitkowski, and more.
Visit events.bax.org/art-by-construction-workers to learn more about Out of Plumb or visit BAX at 421 5th Avenue, Brooklyn between the hours of 9am - 6pm to view the works. Admission free.
