Art in Changing Perspectives: BWAC Featured Artists:


BWAC featured artists for the summer exhibition opening July 11, 2009 are Joseph Anastasi and Audrey Frank Anastasi.
 
Fitting to the title of this summer’s BWAC exhibition, “Art in Changing Perspectives,” Joseph Anastasi debuts his dramatic, grand scale presentation of photographic images, which definitely offers an altered perspective.  Whether defining the picture plane with a field of pixels, a chain link fence or a window pane, Anastasi’s cohesive body of work is decidedly urban with a contemporary perspective and point of view.  Based largely on video screen capture from broadcast television, the poetry is created in the selection of the moment.   By translating selected fleeting moments into oversize photographs printed on canvas, the resulting “Persistence of Vision” series is a natural extension of his ongoing interest in creating the perception of movement from static objects seen in many of his photographic/sculptural installations.  
 
Audrey Frank Anastasi is known for her bold use of materials, masterful brushwork, and broad range of style and subject.  As a BWAC featured artist, Audrey has the opportunity to show a variety of pieces from parallel bodies of work. Her "Grace Notes" grid installations of experimental works on paper is based upon female subjects, and incorporates found objects, mixed media, and stream of consciousness text.

About BWAC

BWAC (pronounced bee-whack) has been exhibiting the artwork of local Brooklyn artists for over thirty years.  In 2009, over 18,000 visitors are expected to enjoy the art, music and crafts.

Their 25,000 square foot gallery space is in a Civil War-era warehouse on the Red Hook waterfront. The vista of New York Harbor, spanning the Statue of Liberty to the Verrazano Bridge, is one of the best in the city. Visitors also enjoy the nearby restaurants, bars and Fairway Market along Van Brunt Street. With every medium and style of artwork represented, from the traditional to the cutting edge, BWAC shows are as spectacular as the setting. It’s also a great place to find affordable art (as cited by Crain’s NY and SmartMoney).

Photographs by Mike Stein of the Prospect Press at the Brooklyn Library

Imagine finding a lost trove of 25,000 negatives documenting life in Brooklyn a quarter century ago. They were produced for a newspaper, beloved in the community for its honest and detailed reporting - and reviled by some for the same reasons - that published for five years, and exists only in the memories of long-time Brooklynites.

It was called the Prospect Press, and it lived a short but illustrious life from 1982 to 1987. Although it was only distributed in the communities of Park Slope, Windsor Terrace, Kensington and Sunset Park, its impact reached beyond, as it reported on events and trends that affected Brooklyn as a whole. Mike Stein was the staff photographer for the five years that the newspaper was published, and the editor for much of that time as well.

To be on the front lines of that scene was to witness the transformation of some of Brooklyn’s most venerable communities. It was a time of upheaval, as a wave of gentrification swept over whole neighborhoods, altering them forever. As the staff photographer of the Prospect Press, Mike Stein was able to connect with many of the ethnic and social groups that had staked a claim to this part of the city and were being pushed out by changes that are still occurring today.

A selection of Mike Stein's photographs will be on display in the Brooklyn Collection from Wednesday June 17th to September 9th.
