POWER DYNAMICS
a collaborative exhibition between AANYAA and Powerhouse Arts, curated by Eric Shiner
on view October 3 - November 1, 2024
Powerhouse Arts, 322 Third Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Power inspires and fuels the world, just as it subverts and poisons in equal measure. It is perhaps one of the great juxtapositions of humanity: when used for good, it brings joy and benevolence; yet when used with nefarious intentions, it delivers wrath and destruction. Artists have heralded and critiqued power for all time, examining all of its many nuances and forms across all media through all possible readings of the term. For this inaugural collaboration held at a former power plant in the historic industrial hub of Gowanus, Brooklyn, we encourage artists to think about what power means to them today.

About POWERHOUSE ARTS:
Powerhouse Arts envisions a society in which creative expression is celebrated and supported as central to personal and civic development.
Their vision for impact is rooted in:
People as an infinite spring of creativity: In shared spaces of exploration, communities imagine new realities for themselves and their neighbors. Powerhouse collaborates with individuals and organizations to support the creative lives of New Yorkers.
Making as a collective practice of possibility: When we make, we experiment, explore, expand, and evolve. Making is a process of dreaming of new possibilities for ourselves and our communities, thus, igniting potential transformation.
Social justice as a practice of Powerhouse Arts: Culture thrives where justice flourishes. As a creative hive, we foster an environment where people feel inspired and empowered to explore and create within and beyond the walls of Powerhouse.
Fabrication
Powerhouse Arts' in-house production facilities and expert fabrication teams help artists produce work in a safe environment, in a more cost effective and collaborative way than typical studio buildings can accommodate.
Community Ceramics Studio
Powerhouse Arts' ceramics membership program offers artists access to workspace, materials, equipment not accessible elsewhere, and professional assistance.
Community Engagement & Partnerships
Powerhouse Arts actively engages the imaginations of our neighbors in developing public programs that support the creative lives and vitality of our communities.
Space Hosting
Powerhouse Arts invites mission- and values-aligned artists and organizations to partner in activating the building, and our Private Event and Corporate Rental program supports our mission of fostering creative expression.
