NEWS in 2012...

...Cohen's work is part of FORMED PERCEPTIONS a show curated by Charlotte Mouquin, on view April 13 - May 20, 2012

Artists Included are Yvette Cohen, Sheila Goloborotko, Antonio Jose Guzman, Carl E. Hazlewood, Hilary Lorenz, & Cullen Washington

Art circles our daily lives and warps, bends, and expands our perceptions of form, place, and color. Formed Perceptions, on view at Corridor Gallery at 334 Grand Avenue in Brooklyn, challenges our relationship with the standard white cube and morphs the viewer’s perception of a gallery into a transcending, swirling, and grounding experience through painting, sculpture, printmaking, projections, and installations.

The opening reception is Sunday, April 15 from 4-6 pm. An accompanying performance and book release will take place on Sunday, April 29 from 2-4 pm. Gallery Hours are Friday to Saturday 12-6 pm and by appointment.
