Welcome to the the SPARK BklynArts blogI
Published in our offices at the Brooklyn High School for the Arts, we are located at the center of the cultural and creative universe that is Downtown Brooklyn.
With the help of lots of our friends, SPARK BklynArts has lined up some pretty exciting and interesting and exciting things to do during and after-school.
Follow us on Facebook or Twitter (links will be up soon) to get the 411 on the SPARK BklynArts SAT Achievement Club, Community Service Club, and of course our already famous Gallery Club. Maybe you will find something that interests you and join us real soon.
Here's a word from Nibor about the Gallery Club.
Hi Everyone! Just this month we’ve visited an art fair, a museum, a studio, and a bunch of galleries, talking to artists, curators, and dealers about everything from the practical—like what computer programs work best—to the magical quality that transforms an everyday object like a hat or a bottlecap into eye- and mind-bending art. We’ve jumped in Olafur Eliasson’s light sculpture and chatted with Nari Ward about why he put cut-up sneakers in this painting. We’ve seen old-school Chinese scroll painting made contemporary, a Korean artist’s fork sculpture, the incredible metal tapestries of El Anatsui, and a bunch of other things made from Photoshop, junk, and other stuff we never knew you could call art. In between we’re learning about different neighborhoods and foreign places and the many ways that creative people build themselves careers doing what they love. Also, we’ve learned how to use the word reference as a verb.
On Thursday March 18, we’re going to visit a cool Williamsburg gallery, Pierogi. See you there!
