Our weekly tip sheet on where to see what in the Brooklyn art world. This week’s featured listing is Jack The Pelican Presents: “Larissa Sansour: A Space Exodus.” The opening reception is this Friday, January 8th, 7-9pm.
Weary of representations of the Palestinian people in the international media, Larissa Sansour gives us a powerful alternative, as charmingly mischievous as it is delightful and magical. Visitors will encounter her video “A Space Exodus,” in which we see her landing on the moon, along with five large photographs of the event and a hundred toy-like “Palestinaut” sculptures. An excellent show to start off the new year.
