Don’t get us wrong, we love the big NYC museums, but sometimes we\u00a0just need a break from\u00a0the touristy milieu that those museums frequently\u00a0offer, especially\u00a0in the summer. So for this week’s installment of “Summer Series Favorites,” we asked Jason Peters<\/a>\u00a0for his favorite hole-in-the-wall gallery spaces in Bushwick to help you when you just want to escape the cacophony of Manhattan. Peters has lived and worked in Bushwick for just under 20 years, so we’re getting the inside scoop on the local art scene. Here’s a little more about him and his Top 6 spaces:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Full name:<\/strong> Jason Peters<\/p>\n Position:<\/strong> Artist and Fabricator<\/p>\n History:\u00a0<\/strong>I hold a BFA from the Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore. Within my\u00a0practice, I utilize mass-produced found objects to construct large-scale installations which reflect upon or make reference to their surroundings. I attempt to evoke emotional and intellectual reactions to these objects, often utilizing light to manipulate perception. I\u00a0have exhibited locally and internationally, including featured displays at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, Oklahoma City Museum of Art, Katonah Museum, Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe, Mattress Factory, among others, and my work is represented in public and private collections.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
