Event Description

Imagination is a necessary tool for all artists. Like a distortion of precognition, fantasy allows us to conceive of and engage in a world beyond the present reality. Transformation is the process of bringing that vision into a communicable form.

Brooklyn Artists Gym will be hosting our quarterly Salon show featuring select Artists-in-Residence and Room 58 Writers. Join us for a discussion of the significance of fantasy and imagination in their work and a special screening of the Art:21 Art in the Twenty-First Century documentary video “Transformation” featuring Paul McCarthy, Cindy Sherman, and Yinka Shonibare MBE.
