Benjamin Sutton of Blouin ArtInfo yesterday contrasted the Mickalene Thomas commission inside the arena with the new Jose Parlá piece in the Dean Street entrance:
While Thomas’s work offers a vision of Brooklyn as a city of elegant and majestic buildings, Parlá’s piece locates character in the details scribbled in the overlooked gaps between city planners’ visions and real estate developers’ money-making schemes. That both works should be housed in a building many Brooklynites find inherently antithetical — if not downright dangerous — to both those characteristics of the borough only makes the commissions more compelling.Or, perhaps, consider that the developers' money-making schemes trumped city planners' visions. That suggests money saved could trickle down to buy some art.
