The Brooklyn Army Terminal is a large complex of piers, docks, and cargo loading equipment located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. During World War II, the terminal was responsible for shipment of 85% of army equipment and personnel overseas.
“Something happens when an artist works on the edge of a body of water. The light, the smells, the sounds, and the openness all coalesce in a sense of peace and centering… the works of each of these artists reflect this subtle quality”, says curator Kristin Reed. This quality is mirrored in the sense of quiet intensity that each of these artists brings to their practice, evident in works that include an arc of media, from painting and drawing, to collage and photography, to assemblage and sculpture.
