Featuring NARS Residency Artists:

Ali Kaeini | Béatrice Côté | Ian Ha | Jen Aitken | Jieun Lim | Jeehee Yoo | Jung Won Lee | Lafina Eptaminitaki | Letizia Scapello | Philippe Caron Lefebvre | Sao Tanaka | Sheyda Azar | Woojae Kim

As part of the Sunset Park Open Studios 2024, NARS Foundation A.i.Rs, Lafina Eptaminitaki, Jieun Lim, and Woojae Kim enliven the Sunset Park Open Studios with a tripple in-studio installation titled 3 Studios. This activation opens the studio to critical access, contemplating on social form and acts of process-making.

Lafina’s performative act Walking, Waiting, Writing with Rocks invites the public into the staging of a mound of rocks carefully arranged by hand into lines across the studio floor, forming a written field of stones and becoming both language and landscape. Using every inch of her studio space through a process of assemblage, Jieun’s Method invites the audience to enter a situation, where existing elements within the studio’s contours are in play. Woojae’s reading from his installation I Hear a Silent Dissonance connects the process of making drums, site visits to fire-affected forests, and personal memories. A sound composition of handmade drums will accompany the reading.

Lafina’s performance will be on Saturday, October 19 starting at 2PM, located in Studio 406. Woojae’s reading performances will be on Saturday, October 19 starting at 3PM, located in Studio 414B. Jieun’s studio installation is located in Studio 414C.

Exhibition:

Artist: Yoko Shimizu
Show Title: Vibrant Matter

Vibrant Matter is a solo exhibition by Japanese bio-artist and researcher Yoko Shimizu that features a selection of the artist's work exploring the dynamism, agency, and expressive potential of living systems. Working with plant and microbial organisms as subject matter, material, and artistic collaborators, Shimizu's work probes and reveals the invisible intra-acting forces that animate processes of creation, adaptation, growth, and transformation in all organic matter. In both her scientific research and her artistic practice, Shimizu's work asks the question, how do we as humans shift our relationship with nature from one of domination and control to one of symbiosis and collaboration? She develops novel techniques and new materials, harnessing the infinite wisdom of nature and the tools of emerging technology, to push the boundaries of newly imagined non-human forms of communication.

 Yoko Shimizu (Japanese, born 1977) is an Austrian-based bio-artist, researcher, and former NARS Residency alumni. Vibrant Matter is one of her first major solo exhibitions in the United States and is informed by over a decade's worth of Shimizu's scientific research exploring the intersection of biological systems and emergent technology.

BioBAT Art Space is a gallery dedicated to the intersection of  Art, Science, and Technology, cultivating relationships between artists, the community, and future generations of innovators. The art space is housed in the ground floor lobby of a nonprofit bio incubator, BioBAT Inc., located in the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.

Floating Verses: Community Music Box Workshop
Free Workshops: 1-1:45pm & 2-2:45pm at Art Cake

The International Contemporary Ensemble is an artist collective that is transforming the way music is created and experienced. The Ensemble’s 36 members are featured as soloists, chamber musicians, commissioners, and collaborators with the foremost musical artists of our time. Works by emerging composers have anchored the Ensemble’s programming since its founding, and the group’s recordings highlight the many voices that weave music’s present.

About the Workshop:
Phyllis continues Floating Verses, a global community music-art piece that invites participants to create their own music box strip.  Participants design, draw and punch out their own tunes on music box punch tape. Eventually, these strips are connected together in a quilt-like fashion, adding to the fabric of sound collected from other participants in previous workshops.

The sounds you hear during the workshop are strips from the following places/workshops:
University of Ioannina (Greece)
Far North Festival (Illulisat, Greenland)
Morris Museum (Morristown, NJ)
Philly Magic Garden (Philadelphia, PA)
Ben Franklin Institute (Philadelphia, PA)
SUNY New Paltz, NY
Abrons Arts Center (NYC)

Described by The New York Times  as “spellbinding” and “delightfully quirky matched with interpretive sensitivity,” Phyllis (2022 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 Cage-Cunningham Fellow) is a composer, pianist and sound artist whose music draws from her tactile exploration of object and sound.  She has performed her music at Lincoln Center, Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Abrons Arts Center, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Los Angeles County Museum, Baryshnikov Arts Center and numerous other places.

BioBAT Artspace

140 58th Street, Brooklyn Army Terminal Building A
Brooklyn, NY 11220

Saturday 10/16, 12-5pm

Sunday 10/17, 12-5 pm

BioBAT Art Space is pleased to present two exhibitions: Common Frequencies, an exhibition that brings together the works of Lorena Mal, Marcela Armas, Gilberto Esparza, Tania Candiani, and Interspecifics, and curated by Elisa Gutierrez Eriksen. The work of these Mexican artists meets at the intersection of art and science, and explores the relationship between these two disciplines through sound, urban ecology, language, and the construction of collective imageries. The artists—working across performance, installation, photography, sound, and drawing—are inspired by resonance, mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and take these phenomena as the basis for the invention of mechanisms that give voice to nature.

Impending Beauty, a solo exhibition by Tatiana Arocha at BioBAT Art Space Project Space, that transports viewers into a tea room that recalls early 19th Century European opulence, yet every surface bears images of an all-engulfing rainforest. The installation interrogates man’s instruments of aggression as well as those luxurious, ‘civilized’ artifacts and furnishings that hold so much material value but exist purely as a result of the heedless ransacking of natural resources. Within this room nature prevails, the flora and fauna recolonizing their sacred spaces.

Concert: “Household Requiem”

Performances on Sunday 10/17 at 3 pm and 4pm
Household Requiem is a collaboration between Mexican artists Tania Candiani and composer Rogelio Sosa with the Grace Chorale Brooklyn, to be presented in the framework of the Common Frequencies Exhibition at BioBAT Art Space in Brooklyn. The presented piece was composed in response to the pandemic, and the lives that have been lost since 2020. It brings together the inner and external sounds of the lockdown in a composition about grief and unity.

2015 Fall Open Studios
Saturday, September 26 12-6pm

The NARS Foundation invites you down to Sunset Park to peer into the natural habitat of the artist: the studio. While viewers are typically invited to experience artist’s work at a completed state in a traditional setting, such as a museum or gallery, open studios allows the community to glimpse into the private world of an artist. A unique opportunity, open studios lets visitors understand the development of the work itself, by communicating with the artists amidst its creation. The Fall 2015 NARS Open Studios offers an opportunity to foster engagement between artist and community. Artists open their doors to the public in order to expose an otherwise private workspace, whilst gaining feedback and exposure. In turn, visitors get access to witness the creative process in motion.

The NARS Foundation will be hosting Open Studios on Saturday, September 26, 12-6pm. We are also pleased to announce that our neighbors, chashama at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, will additionally be hosting Open Studios, with a free water taxi running between Wall Street, DUMBO, and Sunset Park.
