Real on Rock Street
Rock StreetOn view 33 continuous hours during BOS 2014 Real on Rock Street is curated by artist Deborah Brown and gallerist Lesley Heller to showcase the work of artists who work primarily in sculpture and whose work engages “the real.” The artworks are sited on Rock Street in Bushwick, allowing visitors to engage the work at close range, outside the confines of a traditional gallery setting. The exhibition is on view continuously for 33 hours during the Bushwick Open Studios festival. Some of the work is created for the event and responds specifically to the site. 2014 Artists Fanny Allié, Jesse Bercowetz, Julien Gardair, Daisuke Kiyomiya, Will Kurtz, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Tom Otterness, Kurt Steger, Lynn Sullivan, Tyrome Tripoli, Hans van Meeuwen, Melanie Vote Rock Street is a one-block street owned by Frank Brunckhorst Company, LLC, a Boar’s Head distributor, located 2 blocks from the Morgan Avenue L stop. Frank Brunckhorst Company, LLC, owns and operates a plant on Rock Street and is a proud employer and important presence in the neighborhood. For the second year, the company has generously granted permission for the curators to place the artwork on Rock Street for the festival, a ground-breaking collaboration between a Bushwick-based business and artists in the community.
