PROSPECT RANGE IS REOPENING WITH EXHIBIT OF PAINTINGS

 

Opening Reception for John Wilkes Paintings

Saturday, May 6th, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Dexter Buell, the owner of Prospect Range, writes

Prospect Range is reopening its doors after a years-long hiatus. Having hosted cultural events on and off since 2009, a rebranded Prospect Range Projects returns with an exhibition of paintings by Brooklyn artist John Wilkes.
 
John's acrylic on canvas and wood panel images of the Rockaways at night will be familiar to local residents who have ventured out to our nearby ocean beaches. They are strangely desolate and familiar at the same time.

 

All are welcome. 

The opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 6th, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

PETE SINJIN'S PAINTINGS ON DISPLAY

Opening Reception for "Pete Sinjin: Paintings"

Saturday, April 14th, 6:00 p.m.to 9:00 p.m.

From Prospect Range:

"Prospect Range Projects is pleased to present oil paintings by Pete Sinjin. Observing his subjects directly, painting on-site in often harsh conditions, Pete emphasizes the act of looking at the world, to light and the time of day, to passing seasons and to the simplicity of looking carefully without distraction. Today, this is a radical approach and this body of work has a fresh and rewarding presence."

The exhibit "Pete Sinjin: Paintings" will be on display in the gallery on Saturdays and Sundays from April 15th through May 6th, between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. This is the first-ever showing of his work.

The public is invited to attend the opening reception. It will be on Saturday, April 14th, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Admission is free.

OPENING RECEPTION FOR ART EXHIBIT "THE NATURE OF THINGS"

The Nature of Things: Rebecca Bird and Natalie Conn

Saturday, March 3rd, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The opening reception for Prospect Range's newest art exhibit, "The Nature of Things: Rebecca Bird and Natalie Conn," will take place on Saturday, March 3rd, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

"Bringing together the beautifully macabre watercolors of Rebecca Bird and the disorienting diorama photographs of Natalie Conn, "The Nature of Things" reflects on the human desire to document, order, preserve, and display that which fascinates us. In this context, nature stands still--reproduced and behind glass; found and transformed--while we observe from a comfortable distance."

The exhibit can be viewed from March 3rd through March 31st, on Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and by appointment.

Admission is free.

"BLISSVILLE...AN INVESTIGATION" DOCUMENTS A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT DEVELOPMENT SHRANK

Blissville...An Investigation, ( Trailer ) from Hank Linhart on Vimeo.

"Blissville...An Investigation"

Saturday, January 27th, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

"Blissville …An Investigation" documents a "forgotten" community in a remote area of Queens, New York. A hamlet until 1870, the tiny triangle that is Blissville became a neighborhood within Long Island City. Hemmed in by Calvary Cemetery, the Long Island Expressway, Newtown Creek, and Dutch Kills, Blissville is comprised of only about eighty houses.

In the making of "Blissville," videographer Hank Linhart conducted informal street interviews with past and present residents and investigated the origin of the name of Blissville and the character(s) of the town.

"We learn of a nearby Romani village in the 1930s. It was the largest gathering of Romani in the US, with the people actually building houses. They were Ludar from Romania, noted for training bears for circuses, including the WPA Circus. The village was condemned and razed to make way for highway access to the 1939 World’s Fair. The video features an interview with a woman who grew up in the village and who remembers having to move when she was 6.

The video is not so much a mourning of things past nor a nostalgia, although both those elements are present. It is more about the resiliency of a community remarkably rich in nationalities and ethnicity, many of the people on the first rung of immigration; and it is about residential neighbors living in close proximity with active industries.

With development threatening from all sides, it is not to be idealized by any means; it is a precarious dynamic mix."

Prospect Range will host a screening of the video on Saturday, January 27th, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The free screening of the one-hour video will be followed by a question-and-answer session.

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY ON DISPLAY THROUGH JANUARY 7TH

Reuben Radding Exhibit: Street Record

Saturday, December 2nd, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

An exhibit of Reuben Radding's urban street photography will open at Prospect Range Performance Hall on Saturday, December 2nd, at 6:00 p.m.

Radding says his photography is

"an improvisation, performed in long hours of wandering the New York City streets on foot, guided by the scent of great human character and fragility, poetic physical gestures of emotion or energy, explosions of life force, and human interactions which imply uncertain stories when stopped in time."

The work can be viewed through Sunday, January 7th, during Prospect Range's open hours--Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and by appointment. To make an appointment, call (917) 776-6834.

On the weekend of December 30th and 31st, Prospect Range will be closed.

JOHN WILKES PAINTINGS ON EXHIBIT AT PROSPECT RANGE

John Wilkes Exhibit

Saturday, October 14th, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Sunday, October 15th, 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

John Wilkes' paintings of the Gowanus Canal will be on exhibit at Prospect Range this weekend. Wilkes paints on photographs he takes of the canal at night.

Prospect Range owner Dexter Buell says about Brooklyn painter John Wilkes

His exhibition of paintings based on photographs of the Gowanus Canal area at night is a continuation of his last SOLD OUT show at the Range last year.

In this body of work John's preoccupation with the scarred and beautiful terrain of our own local superfund site remains his focus even as his palette deepens. He has discovered even more subtle variations of light and gesture in these paintings.

Wilkes' paintings can be viewed on both Saturday and Sunday, October 14th and 15th, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 pm.

ART EXHIBIT OPENING RECEPTION IN THE RE-OPENED PROSPECT RANGE

Opening Reception for an Art Exhibition by Dan Drossman

Saturday, September 9th, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Brooklyn artist Dan Drossman's drawings and paintings will be exhibited at the recently re-opened Prospect Range Performance Hall. An opening reception for the artist will be held on September 9th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Prospect Range is a community gallery and performance space in Windsor Terrace. The gallery is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Drossman exhibit will run through Sunday, September 24th.

Drossman's work

"uses elements of graffiti, cartooning, and abstraction to create dynamic, comical, and sometimes dark images that reflect the artist's struggle with a lifetime of chronic back pain.

His process is both cathartic for him and accessible to his audience through a deft use of line, color, and other formal elements.

Works range in size from small to large and employ marker, acrylic, charcoal, and mixed media materials on paper and canvas."

Other exhibition and performance events will be scheduled at Prospect Range throughout the fall.
