The Brooklyn Navy Yard offers an annual program for artists seeking to work onsite creating new work that is inspired, informed, or influenced by the Yard. The 2018 artists-in-residence: Christopher Brown, Niki Lederer, Amy Lemaire, Mark Street, and Gerald Wagoner, represent diverse backgrounds, materials, and points of view; yet, together their work reflects the Yard’s living and evolving ecosystem and the site as both a manufacturing hub as well as a community of people.
Working Rhythms highlights the main projects each artist has been developing while onsite this year. Although each body of work is unique, the artists share a curiosity and passion for history, people, and labor. Their work captures both the Yard’s storied past and its innovative future and explores the concept of work in new ways: new people, new construction, new vocabulary, new materials, new meanings. Like the Yard itself, the work of these artists captures the innovative spirit of the Brooklyn Navy Yard and its forward-looking future.
