Join artist Beth Krebs for this Dumbo 1st Thursday special video installation event. The video screening will feature installations created by Krebs that interrupt everyday spaces and propose a kind of makeshift magic in unlikely places.

Thursday, April 5, 6 - 8pm
BAC Gallery
111 Front Street, DUMBO

Beth Krebs' installations and videos imagine a new possibility in a real, and often ordinary, place. Her videos use basic materials to make extraordinary interruptions in ordinary spaces. Her work encourages a suspension of disbelief and asks people to notice where they are and, with humor, to imagine what else might be possible there. Krebs has exhibited extensively around the New York City area including Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Bronx Museum of Art, The Jersey City Museum of Art, Smack Mellon Gallery, the Cue Foundation, Real Artways and the Elizabeth Foundation Project Space

The video screening is being held in conjunction with Funny Ha Ha, a group show at BAC Gallery that explores different approaches to using humor in art to make a serious statement. Funny Ha Ha runs through July 27, 2012. The exhibition was curated by Courtney Wendroff, BAC's Visual Arts Director, and features works from Brooklyn artists Ernest Concepcion, Katy Higgins, Beth Krebs and Iviva Olenick.
