Atlantic Yards: The Art Show (AKA "Footprints")

The controversy swirling around the Atlantic Yards proposal, and the dramatic impact that it would have on the surrounding community and its residents has spawned an art show called "Footprints: Portraits: of a Brooklyn Neighborhood." The new group show includes paintings, photos, drawings, videos, and collages and features some of those living in buildings and on streets that would cease to exist if the development goes foward. It opens on Saturday, October 7 at Grand Space, which is at 778 Bergen Street in Prospect Heights. The show runs through Nov. 3, with an opening reception on Thursday, October 12.

Images of work produced by 32 artists can be seen at the show's website. The work above is, a print by Robert Massman. Among the standouts in the show are bold portrait of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's Daniel Goldstein, a portrait of a Pacific Street resident, some pretty cool photography and more.

The Sun ran a story about the show yesterday.
