I AM YOU/YOU ARE ME
The 24th Annual BRIC Contemporary Art Education Exhibition
Curated by Hawley Hussey, Director of Contemporary Art Education
May 17 – June 9, 2012
I AM YOU/YOU ARE ME features artwork made by students of all ages in public schools through Brooklyn, as well as in Queens and the Bronx, who participate in BRIC’s in-school contemporary art residency program. The exhibition, featuring artwork made by 10 schools during the 2011/12 school year, is created in a variety of media and includes site-specific installations that reflect BRIC’s in-depth engagement at each school. This is the first year that the student show is thematic - focusing on identity and individuality as it relates to one's larger place within a community.
