The ninth
artist in the Brooklyn Museum’s Raw/Cooked series presenting under-the-radar
Brooklyn artists is Sunset Park–based Caitlin Cherry. For her Raw/Cooked
project, titled Hero Safe, Cherry has created three painting installations that
draw upon Leonardo da Vinci's sketches for large-scale weapons. Each
installation includes a large wood structure that acts as a support for one of
her paintings. Two are positioned in the Contemporary Art Galleries' overlooks
and appear to be aimed at the chandelier in the Beaux-Arts Court below. The
third is situated within the brick arcade in the Rubin Lobby.
Raw/Cooked
presents a series of projects by Brooklyn artists who have been invited by the
Museum, with support from Bloomberg, to show their first major museum exhibitions.
The artists are given the opportunity to work with the Museum’s collections and
to display their artworks in spaces of their choosing, however unconventional.
The four
artists in the series' second season were recommended by an advisory board of
well-known Brooklyn artists. Museum curator Eugenie Tsai made the final
selections. Caitlin Cherry was recommended by Michael Joo.
Raw/Cooked
is organized by Eugenie Tsai, John and Barbara Vogelstein Curator of
Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum.
