Iris van Herpen and Keisha Scarville at Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum is currently featuring "Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses," which highlights the designer's fashion inspired by natural elements like coral, jellyfish, and even cellular structures. Outside, Brooklyn's own Keisha Scarville has transformed the museum's facade with her large-scale photographs that blend fabric, portraiture, and themes of memory and identity. Both artists delve into concepts like organic shapes and fluidity. Moreover, the Washington Walls community initiative has returned this season, showcasing artworks from various contributors, including Aaron Metzger and Barbtropolis, with Jaime Rojo capturing the street art scene.
