We’re all familiar with the traditional “white box” art gallery— it’s bright, clean, sterile, artificial and unshadowed. Keeping this in mind, BFP Creative made a space that does the opposite–a black box, void of any light, designed to showcase the glowing works that inhabit it. Unlike most art, work by the eight artists in the show “Luminary,” thrives in the pure darkness. The full list of artists participating in Luminary: [dNASAb], CHiKA, Melissa F. Clarke, Lindsay Packer, Christine Sciulli, Oliver Warden, Andrea Wolf, and Natalia Zubko.
Opening reception July 17 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Otherwise, gallery viewing is by appointment only. Email creative@brooklynfireproof.com, or call/text 646-491-1730 to arrange a visit.
