BROOKLYN COLLEGE–On March 4, the Brooklyn College Art Gallery opened its doors for its newest installation. Curated by Professor Bentley Brown, the gallery presents two exhibitions: Deborah Willis’s “Saturation: Beauty in the Everyday” and Mason Webb’s “Sonic Saturation”.
“One thing I really want to do in curating [the exhibition], is create an exhibition that puts an artist from a previous generation in conversation with an artist from a younger generation […] I really like this pairing of two approaches that are totally different, but are focused on the same trajectory of feelings,” Brown told The Vanguard.
Having previously worked with both artists, Brown views these exhibitions as conversations between one other rather than two separate bodies of work. The exhibitions incorporate an array of mediums, which students can take away as a source of inspiration for both their art and where they can go in their careers.
“I want students to say, ‘I can, I’ve been, I have access to the highest level of art making and I can do that too’,” said Brown.
