[size= x-small]Microscope Gallery takes over a floor of Manhattan’s White Box Gallery with moving image installations by seven emerging Bushwick artists. The young artists are among the most innovative of those working with the light-based arts that we have encountered since opening our doors in the neighborhood last September. Many of the artists in the show have exhibited at Microscope or at one of our weekly screenings. Others appeared in our Bushwick Survey program as part of a film festival we curated for Bushwick Open Studios in June. The works on installation include altered Nintendo generated images, microscopic images, works originally shot on film, archival footage, shadow play, performance, and animation.[/size]

[size= x-small]Bushwick in the Box runs from Sept 26 to Sept 10, concurrently with the White Box exhibition How to Philosophize with a Hammer curated by Raul Zamudio. Opening night features performances by Jason Martin and his ‘animals friends’, followed by Jeff Donaldson’s improvisation on his prepared Nintendo console. Closing night will feature a sound set by Lea Bertucci/TwistyCat, and more surprises![/size]
