Ebon Fisher Interviewed on Yale Radio
Brainard Carey of Yale Radio talks with Immersive pioneer Ebon Fisher about Immersionist culture, memes, and media organisms, starting with Fisher's early work at the MIT Media Lab, and leading up to his role in Immersionism in Williamsburg in the 90s, and beyond. The discussion is about Fisher's work, but it loops around all kinds of interesting developments in Brooklyn back in the day.

Boundless Space, Vanishing Space
A new painting by Rafael Gomez Luna
Eagle Eye Rafael Gomez Luna 2016 |
The Children's School in Park Slope is one of the best grade schools in the city. It feels like a private school when you walk in. But this is PS 372, which just had its annual fundraising gala and art auction. "My daughter is in a class of twenty-five, and they have six teachers, for 25 children," Rafael Gomez Luna tells me. "We are really lucky to have her in this school, and I am grateful, really grateful. That's why I do so much for the school."

Our Spring Salon Is Here
Rafael Gomez Luna, pasture, 2015, detail |
The Spring Salon is our group show of all the artists in the gallery, as well as work from our Saturday classes. It is our big chill-out, or thaw, as the case may be, before the autumn season. It is our time to take the measure of the art we've got, and plan for the coming year. Exhibits will rotate to some extent, and there will be several events (to be announced) around the Salon between now and the summer. Do come by, we are open every weekend. This is a great chance to see a lot of wonderful work in a casual and discursive environment.
See the exhibition page for more details.
