‘Brainstorming Session’ for Minority Politics Art Project Invites ‘Those Frustrated by the Current Political Climate’

By |

The Housatonic Museum of Art will host a special project launch and brainstorming session for artist Rachel Owens’ project, “Life On the Other Side of a Cracked Glass Ceiling – Bridgeport.”
Owens’ artwork will center on the Mary and Eliza Freeman Houses, the oldest standing examples of Bridgeport’s seaside village known as Little Liberia. A series of scaffolded casts of the front porch of Mary’s house will be activated for discussions and performances pertinent to Bridgeport’s diverse population. Part of the ‘For Freedoms’ platform, the project will seek to create greater participation in the arts and civil society. For Freedoms, inspired by American artist Norman Rockwell’s paintings of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms (1941)—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear, produces content to advocate for inclusive civic participation. During the brainstorming session, which will be held on Tuesday, Oct.

The name of the ‘Drip-Drop, Tick-Tock’ exhibit at Housatonic Museum of Art in Bridgeport went beyond irony and well into eerie coincidence when sprinklers were activated and, you might say, the “clock stopped” on the exhibit opening, which will be postponed for two years. At this rate, it’s probably fortunate that “Boom Boom” wasn’t part of the exhibit’s name. The exhibit is expected to reopen, but not for another two years — on Sept. 3, 2020. (No artwork was damaged in the event that sparked production of this article.)

Here’s the announcement about the closing, opening and opening reception:

The opening of the “Drip-Drop, Tick-Tock” exhibit by Joseph Fucigna at Housatonic Museum of Art has been postponed.
