The 2006 Summer Auction at 3rd Ward
The pieces displayed in 3rd Ward's Summer Group Show offer a snapshot of the up-and-coming Brooklyn art scene. The subject matter and approaches vary, but all are rooted in this time and place. From a grown man decking out childhood model toys with electrical circuits and metallic automotive paint, to women taking craft sensibilities to a powerful level of finish, the subject of growing up is one that is prevalent throughout the works. In dream-like drawings, fantasies and rockabilly/hipster iconography collide, as cyborgs are redefined in photos of contorted bodies.
