Argue about present-day Brooklyn at brunch, walk over to a gallery in Bushwick to see its future.
The work of dozens of different painters, photographers, and street artists are on display a few blocks south of the (dusty, seldom-used) Morgan L stop at The Vazquez for an exhibition entitled Brooklyn Is The Future (whether you'll be able to afford to stick around and see that Future is still TBD).
According to a release, those artists include "Appleton, Ben Angotti, BK Foxx, Cern, Chris Soria, Col Walnuts, Cozmik Slop, Damien Mitchell, Danielle Mastrion, Eelco, Ghost, Giz, Ivan Orama, JayShells, Just, Justin Carty, Lexi Bella, Lmnopi, Mason Eve, Marc Evans, Misha T, Mr. Prvrt, N. Carlos Jay, Nepo, Pesu, Rocko, Rubin 415, Savior Elmundo, Skize, TMO Plater, Zimer, Ms. Zukie, Nepo, Phetus, Li-Hill, Vanessa Rosa, Claw Money, URNY."
The shots above were taken during the exhibition's opening reception on Friday, but you can see it at The Vazquez from noon to 6 p.m. this weekend and next.
