Group to present art installation, performances at Brooklyn Community Gardens
As part of Brooklyn Academy of Music’s and New York Restoration Project’s Arts in the Gardens program, Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary arts organization LEIMAY is sponsoring an art installation, “Qualia Skyhole,” in the Gil Hodges Community Garden at 534 Carroll St. in Gowanus through Sept. 9.
LEIMAY creates string installations that use tension and suspension in order to create a sense of expansion and collapse of space to present outdoor space as places of contemplation, rebirth and regeneration.
On Thursday, Sept. 3 and Saturday, Sept. 5, LEIMAY will also sponsor two performances, set against the background of its own installation, in the same garden at 7:30 p.m. LEIMAY will use dance, theater, music and light to explore the fragility and resilience of life through “Thresholds II,” a dance of rising and falling at sunset. In “In Illo Tempore Vignettes,” it will explore characters suspended in time to reveal what might be considered as eternity.
LEIMAY, based in Brooklyn, develops artwork and multiple community programs throughout the year.
