Canton Projects presents American Arsenal. In the center of the gallery will be a mound of sand, from which will rise a grove of impossible weapons: pristine spearheads, hand-blown in glass, crowning tall, wooden poles. The glass, fragile and transparent, contradicts associations of primitive violence and rage. The weapons of American Arsenal, standing to protect an unnamed territory, both menace and seduce, while their sensuous, rippled surfaces distort what lies behind.
Art in DUMBO is a resource for art events, happenings, galleries and residency programs in the neighborhood.
