THURSDAY (Feb. 4): The Gentrification of Brooklyn
Gabriel Reese’s (aka Specter) clever faux-advertising pieces can currently be seen around the streets of Brooklyn as they speak on what’s going on in the community as well as promoting MoCADA’s (Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts) group show The Gentrification of Brooklyn: The Pink Elephant Speaks which opens tomorrow night in, of course, Brooklyn.
Click here to see the entire set of Specter’s ads here via the wonderful Wooster Collective.
Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts 80 Hanson Place Brooklyn, New York 11217 Show runs from February 4 through May 16, 2010
More from MoCADA:
“This exhibition, guest curated by Dexter Wimberly, will examine how urban planning, imminent domain, and real estate development are affecting Brooklyn’s communities and how residents throughout the borough are responding. The exhibition will include the works of several Brooklyn-based artists, as well as those who have been forced to relocate as a result of gentrification. In addition to works of art featured at MoCADA, there will be a schedule of public programs taking place throughout Brooklyn.”
