Im in this show opening today (Sunday Sep. 7th at 5p.m) at FiveMyles organized by Hanne Tierney & myself.... NEW VISIONS: CROWN HEIGHTS ARTISTS Chosen from work seen on studio visits to young or relatively established neighborhood artists, NEW VISIONS: CROWN HEIGHTS ARTISTS, as organized by artist/curator, Carl E. Hazlewood and FiveMyles’ Director, Hanne Tierney, is evidence of the constantly evolving cultural energies focused around the gallery. Included are Lourdes Bernard (b. Dominican Republic), Fran Kornfeld (b. US), Oasa DuVerney (b. US), Carl E. Hazlewood (b. Guyana(, Musa Hixson (b. US), Naomi Safran-Hon (b. England), and Amanda Turner Pohan (b. US). and Naomi Reis, (b. Japan) The area’s essential fifteen-year-old art space has become a platform for all types of activities and presentations, from its regular exhibitions of advanced art to entertaining puppet shows for kids and grown-ups. The linkages and partnerships it has developed with other organizations encourage vitality and a natural multicultural vibrancy to its various continuing activities. FiveMyles provides a home for the Haiti Cultural Exchange and has participated regularly in projects such as the annual Brooklyn Film Festival, An Obie Award winning art space , it sis fully embedded in the spiritual and practical life of the Crown Heights community as a multidimensional presence with a cultural impact far in excess of its actual modest size. While the current exhibition, NEW VISIONS: CROWN HEIGHTS ARTISTS, is not intended to be a thematic show, the work presented tends to cohere around issues of environment as a personal and affective aspect of modern life. The eight artists use various individual methodologies, techniques, visual and conceptual strategies, to communicate with viewers and to activate the cool grey ambiance of the gallery. Carl E.
