Center for Brooklyn History
This exhibition was originally organized and published by the Brooklyn Historical Society.
The architectural face of Brooklyn is in constant flux.
Older buildings crumble and are torn down as new developments proliferate, sometimes seemingly overnight. For this exhibition, Brooklyn artists Sarah Bostwick, Rebecca Layton, and Karla Wozniak drew upon Brooklyn's past and present urban structures to convey the visual complexity of competing commercial, architectural, and real estate interests in the borough. All three artists have in common an interest in the specific aesthetic details and local vernacular that makes up Brooklyn. They each use drawing as a method for observing, documenting, and interpreting the past, present, and future of the Brooklyn landscape.This exhibition was made possible through generous support from The Lily Auchincloss Foundation.
