\n\n\n\n\nCarrie Rubinstein
School of Architecture and DesignCarrie Rubinstein, adjunct instructor of digital art and design, had her work, "Brick Fiction," displayed at the Brooklyn Art Cluster gallery from June 16 鈥� August 23, 2023, as part of the exhibition . In his review, Tyler Holter writes, "[t]he once-industrial space resonates with her paper creation. The first section, a nine-by-twelve-and-a-half-foot 'wall,' has interlocking panels with exposed layers: the brick, wallpaper, plaster; all done on paper, in slate gray watercolor, gouache, and India ink, with flashes of red. In the second section, a room takes shape as walls form a corner, capped with a wire-suspended ceiling. In minute detail, Rubinstein has sculpted electrical outlets, conduit, picture frames, light fixtures, and even breaker boxes with a functioning door. Her work meditates on our built surroundings, drawing on the material histories and even labor involved in the production of space."
