Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Weather Eye, a collaborative exhibition of paintings and poetry by two brothers, James Vanderberg, a Brooklyn based artist, and Peter Vanderberg, a poet from Long Island. The exhibition opens Saturday, May 26th from 6-9pm.
The exhibition presents drawings, paintings and poems inspired by the coasts and waters of Long Island, where the Vanderberg’s grew up. James’s semi-abstract drawings and paintings allude to bay reeds, red skies, oyster shells and refracted summer sun through water. His series of knot drawings explore the context of a line both physical and drawn. Peter’s poems engage the same physical environment while also giving voice to the metaphysical currents at play there. Many of the works by the brothers were mutually inspired. Poems give voice to paintings; paintings illuminate poems and a multi-dimensional portrait of the Great South Bay is offered.
For more information, and to view sample poems and images from the book, please visit: weather-eye.blogspot.com.
Please join us for Weather Eye’s opening reception on Saturday, May 26th from 6-9 pm. There will be a poetry reading and discussion with the authors from 7-8pm during the reception. Weather Eye will be on view from May 26th to June 3rd, 2012. The exhibition can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to make an appointment.

Exquisite Show opens TONIGHT! Saturday, April 21st from 6-10pm.
EXHIBITION OPENING: Saturday, April 21st from 6-10pm
EXHIBITION DATES: April 21-29, 2012
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Exquisite Show, an exhibition that is the result of blind collaboration between four Brooklyn artists: Elana Adler, Miles Debas, Dave Singley, and Stephanie Terao.
The distinct sensibilities of each artist’s work are unified by their playful interpretation of cadavre exquis, a game developed by Dadaist artists, commonly known as an Exquisite Corpse. Rather than following the guidelines of Exquisite Corpse literally, this common theme propels each artist toward a unique interpretation of body. Whether the body is figurative or abstract, whole or dissected, human or animal, or simply a prompt for something completely different, will be up to the individual artist. By revealing their work to one another only in the moment of curation, the artists allow for elements of play and spontaneity to surprise the viewer as well as the artists themselves. The result is an ambitious and diverse collection of loose ends and spare parts.
Please join us for Exquisite Show’s opening reception on Saturday, April 21st from 6-10 pm. Exquisite Show will be on view from April 21st to 29th, 2012. During the run of the exhibition, Fowler will have open gallery hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 5pm. During other times, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to make an appointment.

EXHIBITION OPENING: Saturday, March 10th from 6-9pm
EXHIBITION DATES: March 10-25, 2012
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Buy Local, an exhibition featuring new work by Brooklyn and Philadelphia artists Susan Fang, Maria Rajewksi, Samuel Stabler, and Brian Willmont.
These four artists make works that explore subject matter as varied as the magic and melancholy of objects, awkwardness and fleeting moments of failure, vaganuses and octipenises, and the construction of a new American folktale. Buy Local, timed to coincide with New York’s greatest marketplace for contemporary art, The Armory Show, acknowledges that while all of the work in the exhibition has been made with the zeal of an art-for-art mentality, at the end of the day it would be nice to sell something. Taking it’s name from the retail movement, Buy Local aims to showcase exciting new art with the hopes that maybe, just maybe, we’ll at least break even.
Please join us for Buy Local’s opening reception on Saturday, March 10th from 6-9 pm. The opening reception coincides with a neighborhood event, Greenpoint Gallery Night. Many neighborhood galleries and alternative spaces will participate in the festivities. For more information and a map of the neighborhood listing the participating galleries, go to Greenpointers.com.
Buy Local will be on view from March 10th to 25th, 2012. During the run of the exhibition, Fowler will have open gallery hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 5pm. During other times, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment. Contact us here to make an appointment.

Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Of Mind, Body & Soul, an exhibition of new work by seven Brooklyn-based artists curated by Peter Gynd Medley.
The exhibition presents works that address the theme of questioning and exploring the self, bringing together a diverse cross-section of the current Brooklyn arts scene. Each artist was selected for their singular approach to the title subject. Carolina Duque, Katya Grokhovsky, J.F. Lynch, Ellie Murphy, Caitlin Peluffo, Katarina Riesing, and Ryan Turley uniquely explore deep and critical relationships with themselves. These works, many of which were created specifically for this exhibition, allow for an insight into each artist’s psyche, but they also pose broader questions of an individual’s internal relationship with the self.
Please join us for Of Mind, Body & Soul’s opening reception on Friday, Feb. 10th from 7-10 pm. RSVP on Facebook. From 7:30-9:30pm during the opening reception, there will be a performance by Katya Grokhovsky. The exhibition will be on view from February 10th to 26th, 2012. During the exhibition, Fowler will have open gallery hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 12pm to 4pm. During other times, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment.
