Being Lost and Found in Bushwick | Arte Fuse
Olya Turcihin of Arte Fuse made it out to BFP Creative's first group show, Hrönir: Un-Lost Things. Copied below is her experience at the show! (All photos and text are the property of Olya Turcihin and Arte Fuse).
Trekked out to Bushwick last week to view Hrönir: Un-Lost Things curated by Hazel Lee Santino for BFP Creative… BFP Creative housed the show in their temporary storage galleries at Brooklyn Fire Proof. I was lost and disoriented at first, entering through the Brooklyn Fire Proof bar. As I tried to find the gallery space, I thought to myself that a whiskey was in order on such a cold evening. A quick right out of the bar and then a left opened up to a large airy white space which housed some of the most creative art I have seen in a while. “Hrönir” are objects that, once lost, have been found–but they are duplicated and somehow affected by having been lost, or by having been found. ”The premise of losing something and then finding it again only to reveal that it has somehow changed, lent itself to experiencing the art by trying to figure out the story behind of each individual piece. Brilliant! In the end, I found myself sipping a whiskey and ultimately feeling quite satiated. Here’s to getting lost but now I’m found – CHEERS!
