#CrossingBrooklyn features more than one hundred works from 35 artists who work in virtual

#CrossingBrooklyn features more than one hundred 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.“Through the windows of her spacious Dumbo studio, the artist Lisa Sigal can look out over the East River, past the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, to the architectural city, a grand landscape rising in steel and concrete. It’s a stunning view, even on a grey day. In her work, though, Sigal trains her eye on the more mundane features of the urban landscape, and records what she sees. ‘It’s a way of seeing,’ she says. 'Of taking in my surroundings and being present in a place.’Sigal’s work explores the temporality of our surroundings. She’s interested in reading the cityscape as a palimpsest containing innumerable histories, writ small. 'Architecture becomes a kind of code,’ she says. 'It can be read to understand a social environs, or a political or economic struggle.’”More on Lisa Sigal and her works featured in #CrossingBrooklyn here.Image: © Lisa Sigal,  Hinged Painting (Halleck Street, Brooklyn), 2013 -- source link
