“Village Lore” is an exhibition of video art works created by folks who lived and
worked in the little village of Dumbo in years past, prior to the current real-estate and cultural developments. Dumbo was once a little village inhabited by only artists, musicians and other creative types all working and living in our studios. We gathered at each other’s studios as well as the local watering hole to discuss and challenge our creative pursuits on an ongoing basis. The result was a plethora of works and relationships of great value.
This exhibition includes works that were created in or celebrate love and appreciation of those early days of the little village of Dumbo.
Participating Artists: Chris Herbeck, Ernesto Gonzales, Gigi Spratley, Jack Waltrip & Steve Holloway, Marton Daniel Gabor, Simonetta Moro, Paranoid Larry
Curated by John Ensor Parker.
