WORKSession In Four Walls

with Karen Bernard, Rachel Thorne Germond, Jil Guyon, and Lisa Parra

February 22-March 23, 2023
at 1 Brooklyn Bridge Park

WORKSession In Four Walls explores the possibilities created by artists sharing and commingling their individual processes in a salon-like community. All four artists are multidisciplinary and experiment with the intersection of the image with the body. Sharing a common vocabulary of dance, they explore different modalities within movement by combining it with visual art, film, video, sound, installation, and language to various effects. For this project, each artist takes a different wall to display their visual media with scheduled performances during the exhibition period, allowing new juxtapositions and unexpected connections to arise.
