Six ways out
Brooklyn Fire Proof, New York
The wooden sculptures, wheat paste posters, oil paintings, installations, paper cutouts and graffiti of Todd St. John, Eric Elms, Patrick Rocha, Maya Hayuk, Craig Metzger, and Neck Face couldn't look more dies-similar, but they are champions of their respective crafts. Each challenges the classes of art that separate low from high, street from gallery, underground from mainstream, and popular from fine.

Brooklyn Fire Proof, Inc. presents Six Ways Out with new work by six emerging artists working to explode the conventions of their media, movements and moment.
The wooden sculptures, wheat paste posters, oil paintings, installations, paper cutouts and graffiti of Todd St. John, Eric Elms, Patrick Rocha, Maya Hayuk, Craig Metzger, and Neck Face couldn't look more dies-similar, but they are champions of their respective crafts. Each challenges the classes of art that separate low from high, street from gallery, underground from mainstream, and popular from fine.
The current vanguard of art looks more disparate than alike, more fragmentary than coherent. And yet, the idea of art making has never been stronger. Creative energy flows in every direction.
Please join us for the opening on June 18 from 8 – 11 PM as the newly renovated Brooklyn Fire Proof, Inc. brings together these six artists, six models for art making. With more than fifty new pieces and an enormous collaborative mural, Six Ways Out aims to show these works as myriad projections from the shared prism that ties the new art together.
