Real Crash- Looking at Capitalism and its Laws:
Bushwick NY, artsy real estate, brooklyn
Now in its third year, BETA Spaces promotes and facilitates open dialogue among curators, artists and visitors. This huge party event is today Sunday Nov. 8th from 12 noon to 7 pm. The free, one-day festival features hundreds of artists in over thirty curated shows. Events have suggestive names such as "The Other Side" - mixed media new paintings at 83 Wyckoff St. and "Space is the Case.." at 1 Grattan St. From reading the program, I suspect that this is an artsyed up abandoned gas station. Perhaps the USA can collapse and then be artsyed up by President Obama as a "Green Exhibit" featuring abandoned cities with little patches of urban agriculture in between.
All locations are in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, NY, New York
City. Special events include a panel on public art production at Lumenhouse- 47 Beaver Street, at 1pm, and the BETA Spaces After Party at 76 Jefferson Street, which will give visitors and artists a space to unwind and discuss the events of the day, and also to get shitfaced- 7pm - midnight. Arts in Bushwick is also excited to partner with 3rd Ward's Moviehouse, 95 Morgan Avenue, which will screen films from 7 - 9pm.
It's kind of sad. Is this event a desperate attempt to jack up the collapsed real estate market in Bushwick, a black and puerto rican ghetto that is a focus of an attempted artsy real estate bubble.
