Though we’ve been talking about the local gallery SUPERFRONT for a while now, we still meet people who say that they didn’t realize that this gem exists in the neighborhood.  Well folks,  if you didn’t know about them before, now’s your chance to check them out:

Making Space – Closing Reception at SUPERFRONT Brooklyn
Reception: March 28, 2010, 5 – 8 p.m.

SUPERFRONT invites you to celebrate the success of the 1st annual Architects-in-Residence exhibit and publication of the MAKING SPACE catalog. Please join us at the gallery (1432 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY) on Sunday, March 28th from 5-8pm.

PAWEL NIEDZWIECKI, trained as an architect, literally resided in SUPERFRONT’s artist studio space for 5 months, producing work that explores personal affections through architectural methods. Niedzwiecki’s ink drawings often reference musical composition as an architectural language.

FRANCISCA BENITEZ explores what it means to inhabit New York’s system of public spaces, from community centers to Brooklyn sidewalks. Alongside her own highly political and conceptual series of graphite rubbings of built surfaces, Benitez exhibits pieces made by or in conjunction with residents of public housing.

This exhibit and the Architects-in-Residence program are partly enabled by generous donations from Nilizandr Gilbert and Sarah Millsaps.
