New Park Slope art exhibit explores income inequality

08/05/2015

Day 1 of installing the show! First artworks to go up: this triptych by Brian Fernandes Halloran, "Buying a 6 Pack." Based on the artist's memories of brief encounters with his Lefferts Gardens brooklyn neighbors. These paintings were part of an interactive local pop up exhibition the artist organized, where neighbors actually got to know each other better! — at Old Stone House (Brooklyn).

With a title Loosely based on the New York City mayor’s well-known campaign phrase, In Search of One City intends to promote continued dialogue around this timely topic, exploring artists’ role in investigating, navigating, and mitigating income inequality, with a focus on New York City. The exhibition will include both artists who expose and critique the systems that perpetuate income inequality, and artists and arts groups engaging with underrepresented communities towards developing new models and services for a more equitable city.
