Wednesday, October 23rd, Frederick J. Brown: Dreams and the Possibility of…at The Sugar Hill Children's Museum, 898 St. Nicholas Avenue on the corner of 155th Street, Hours from 10:00AM-5:00PM, Thursday-Sunday. October 23rd marks the debut of two new exhibitions at the Sugar Hill Children's Museum. Frederick J. Brown: Dreams and the Possibility of… celebrates the artwork of pioneering expressionist artist Frederick James Brown (1945-2012). Featuring a selection of work spanning Brown’s nearly 50-year career and diverse stylistic approaches to canvas, the exhibition examines the artist’s conception of “dreams” through three lenses: the imagined landscape, aspiration and possibility, and “the American Dream.” In concert with reflections provided by activist, journalist and founding member of the Last Poets Felipe Luciano, the works of art showcased in Dreams and the Possibility of… explore the themes of ancestry, belief, and culture, all of which, for Brown, were sites where dreams took shape.
Tatiana Arocha’s Respiro un bosque / I Breathe a Forest immerses viewers in the dense wilderness of South America’s tropical forests. Juxtaposing real specimens, images of rapid devastation, and monumental natural elements, this site-specific exhibition powerfully unmasks an anguished cry from the earth and a yearning for nature and its preservation.
