The Threat of Chance

Ad Hoc in Brooklyn has a pretty cool show until June 1st featuring 4 artists. The collaboration transforms the gallery into what seems like a shanty town. There are 4-5 small shacks you can explore, with art, tags, posters, signs and anything you can think of spread all throughtout. I pretty much had to go through it about 3 times and kept finding hidden photos or hand written notes.

I particularly enjoyed Billy Mode’s work the most. I was attracted to his use of color and his (mainly) square shape layered paintings. I could relate to his use of newspaper and color washes, similar to my technique for my door series last year. So If you have a chance, stop by Ad Hoc and explore…
