The Brooklyn Gaze Edition 2: Lightpost
June 21, 2017 @ 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
According to the organizers:
The Brooklyn Gaze is a new series of video-projection artworks commissioned by BPL Presents. In collaboration with visual artists Mark Read and Jeanne Angel, we present the second edition of the series, Lightpost, during which the iconic facade of the Brooklyn Public Library will once again be transformed, this time by audience-generated projections.
The first edition of the Brooklyn Gaze: Erasure and Revelation featured massive animated texts by thinkers such as James Baldwin, Hannah Arendt, and Sojourner Truth, texts that were partially erased, leaving provocative questions in their wake. These immersive animations, accompanied by the music of award-winning film composer Paul Brill, will be reprised for Edition Two: Lightpost. These questions will spur a community dialogue on the themes of Justice, Truth, Humanity, and Love. You will be invited to join this dialogue by writing in light on the Brooklyn Public Library, in your own hand, using your own words.
Come to the plaza early to move to the amazing music of Grupo Rebolu at the Plaza Swing Series event, starting at 6:30. Stay late to talk to friends and strangers, drink beer, and enjoy the summer air.
