Norte Maar’s BUILT: Opening/Holiday Party

anthony browneThe DeKalb stop on the L train is getting more and more spotlight thanks to galleries such as Norte Maar, which curate independently minded artists. Tonight they’re having an opening, BUILT: Opening/Holiday Party. It’s free and it starts at 6.

Among the headliners are Anthony Browne, who has created a nine foot badly built cube. Drawing from and reacting to the tradition of Sol LeWitt’s perfect cubes, Mr. Browne finds wood around his studio and crafts it to make structures that are entirely his own, unique and unreproducible — even to move the cube would require its demolition and reconstruction in an entirely different manner and context. Themes such as time, method, construction and entropy lie at the heart of this work. The resulting sculpture encourages the viewer to walk through and around the cube, and encourages her to imagine how it was created, and possibly, how she would design a similar piece.

The other artists in the show include Tyler Considine, Eric Wolfgang Eisenhut and Letha Wilson, all of them concerned with process and material in order to create a finalized, polished product.

There may be a lot of parties in Bushwick tonight, especially around the DeKalb stop; even if you don’t have much time, make sure to visit Norte Maar.
