#CrossingBrooklyn features 100+ works from 35 artists who work in virtually every medium, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, video, and performance, linked only by place and by an engagement with the modern world. Over the next several weeks, Brooklyn Magazine will be rolling out profiles of ten artists who appear in the exhibit.“I am interested in how we, as humans, relate to each other,” the artist Heather Hart tells me, over email. “How we relate to space. Perception. Assumption. Tradition. Nostalgia. Phenomenology. Semantics. And how these contribute to our forming our identity.” Hart, who lives and works in Bed-Stuy, creates interactive installations designed to explore the processes of interrelation. How do the workings of memory, the churn of social experience, the anxiety of subjectivity, inform who we are? How does that inform how we relate to others? What systems of value arise therefrom?Maybe “create” and “design” are the wrong words. It’s more accurate to say that Hart conceptualizes the barest conditions of an installation, and then sets it in motion; what happens next is subject to metamorphosis over time. Starting from a personal place, the installations evolve as more people interact with them, over a longer period of time, until they become not Hart’s experiences at all, nor a purely transpersonal one, but something in between…“More on Heather Hart and her #CrossingBrooklyn installations here.Photo: Barter Town XI, Sept 2013. © Heather Hart. -- source link
