This is an on-again, off-again series that started under Charlotta Kotik decades ago. I once wrote a long review of an early iteration in ARTS MAGAZINE, now defunct of course, about how the “Brooklyn Artists” category was a rather contorted curatorial construction with little basis in reality—other than to seem responsive to community. I’d be interested in new reviews that address the subject! Is there really such a thing as a “Brooklyn Artist?” The catalogue essay must make a persuasive case for it; otherwise, I’d probably remain skeptical.
