Is it the out of necessity or is it sheer resourcefulness that the exhibition titled, Use Your Illusion, is currently held behind a bodega in East Williamsburg? Viewers travel through a narrow aisle and into a raw space where the exhibition takes place. Foregoing the traditional gallery, these four white walls are of a different sort. Filled with skid marks and past adverts it’s quite the contrast from the art work. Juxtaposing the refined with the crude, the space does not detract from the works. Artists include Sherri Caudell Brennan, Patrick Brennan, Ned Colclough, Jesse Hamerman, and J.D.Walsh. Use Your Illusion is on view until Saturday by appointment only. Email curator Jesse Hammerman for more details. For more photos from the exhibit, visit The Old Gold.
