Back in April, street artist Swoon moved inside for her Submerged Motherlands exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. And tomorrow is your last chance to see it in person, so don't delay!
Inspired by contemporary and historical climate change events, Swoon and her team created a site-specific installation in the rotunda gallery. According to the museum, they transformed it into "a fantastic landscape centering on a monumental sculptural tree with a constructed environment at its base, including sculpted boats and rafts, figurative prints and drawings, and cut paper foliage."
For more art fun, check out this Museum discussion about street art with Managing Curator of Exhibitions Sharon Matt Atkins and guests Keith Schweitzer, Luna Park and Swoon.
