Saya Woolfalk’s artwork re-imagines the world in ‘multiple dimensions’ to explore issues of identity. In her #MTAArts project “Urban Garden Rail” (2017) at the Van Siclen Ave (3) Station in Brooklyn, Woolfalk reflects the people of the East New York community who have worked together to enrich the local community by reclaiming vacant lots to transform into local gardens, resulting in fresh produce for neighborhood residents’ consumption. The figures and the patterns in the painted steel panels capture the beauty, pride and intergenerational collaborations embedded in these spaces.

Woolfalk explores questions of identity and belonging in two related shows currently on view at the Newark Museum, where she is an artist in residence. Responding to historical landscape paintings and plant specimens in the museum’s collection, "Saya Woolfalk: Field Notes from the Empathic Universe" includes an immersive four-channel video installation that creates a luminous environment of plant forms, digitally constructed portraits and landscape fragments. “Saya Woolfalk: Tumbling Into Landscape” is an intervention into the Museum’s American art and natural science collections, and features a new life-size abstracted self-portrait with a selection of the Museum’s Hudson River School paintings.

Even as the winter clouds loom over Brooklyn, there’s always a fiery sunset to be found at the Avenue I (F) station in Kambui Olujimi’s “Where the Sky Begins” (2018). His laminated glass panels were created from a series of photographs of the sky taken around the world. To experience more of Olujimi’s celestial views, his long term installation “Skywriters & Constellations” can be seen every Wed-Sunday at 4pm at the Newark Museum, where his collaged animations are projected onto the night sky of the Planetarium’s dome.

Bark Frameworks was thrilled to support last week’s Newark Museum of Art 2021 Art Ball, a virtual gala celebrating the Museum’s outstanding collections, exhibitions, and education programs. This year’s honorees included Orange, NJ-based fiber artist Bisa Butler, as well as philanthropist Arlene Lieberman, and Panasonic. The event featured a specially-commissioned performance by Newark-based dancer and choreographer Darwin Black, entitled “Run to the Fear.” The Newark Museum officially reopened to the public on June 3rd. #NewarkMuseum #artmuseums #reopening #NJarts #gala #bisabutler #arlenelieberman #panasonic #darwinblack #njartists #njarts #tristatearts #BarkFrameworks #virtualgala #njmuseums #supportingthearts (at The Newark Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHY82plhO_/?utm_medium=tumblr
