Traverse.
This weekend is the D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival.
Art will be everywhere: the streets, sidewalks, storefronts, elevators, lobbies, the water, the waterfront, and the parks. Along with the 65 plus new public art projects, over 100 local artists will open their studios to the public and at the new Galapagos Art Space, video_dumbo will feature a non-stop program of video art.
Last year we spent most of our time in the studios on Jay Street, viewing art, meeting artists, running into friends and at the end of the day relaxing with a good brew at ReBar. If you’ve never been to DUMBO, this would be a great time to visit.
Sign Up.
Inspired by the proliferation of very tall signs in the American Mid-West, Matt Sibert’s Floating Logos seeks to draw attention to this often overlooked form of advertising. References can be drawn to religious iconography, the supernatural, or science fiction.
The project consists of two series. Series 1 is a set of images that do not include the ground below the sign and Series 2 is more in the spirit of traditional landscape photography and shows the signage floating in context.
Naked Eye.
The amazing retouch work of Electric Art.
