The Old Stone House & Washington Park (OSH) is pleased to announce the opening of its latest contemporary art exhibition, Picturing the Constitution, the weekend of October 20-22, in conjunction with Gowanus Open Studios. This includes an artists’ reception on October 22, 4-6pm and an Ecofeminist Fashion Walk by artist Iviva Olenick on October 21, 1-2pm.
Picturing the Constitution features artists’ responses to the United States Constitution, including its origins, contents, and interpretations throughout history. Installations, workshops and performances in diverse media by 17 artists and art teams ask: to what extent do these founding documents still serve us (equitably)? What could we add or amend? As we approach the 2024 presidential election, it is an important time to reflect on the history and current state of democracy in America, our rights and responsibilities to our communities today, and the role of artists in depicting and facilitating these ideals.
