Justin Sterling's 'Orange Chapel' Exhibition at Cathouse Proper in Brooklyn
Justin Sterling's exhibition 'Orange Chapel' at Cathouse Proper's Brooklyn project space draws inspiration from the Zero Tolerance 'broken windows' policy of racialized policing, using fractured window sashes as a Rothko-like format. The show creates a chapel-like environment where prayers for Donald Trump's defeat were reportedly answered before its closing. A socially distanced closing event was scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2020, from 12-6PM at 524 Court Street, 2nd floor (enter Huntington Street) in Brooklyn, NY 11231. Sterling's work connects to art historical references including Alberti's paradigm, Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass, and Rudy Burckhardt's Brooklyn Window of 1954, exploring the literal and metaphorical potency of windows. The exhibition extended beyond the actual glass to create visual adventures within this conceptual framework.
