Feast on Brooklyn Fudge while you Feast Your Eyes on Brooklyn Interiors

Join us this Thursday (April 3) from 6pm - 8pm at Safe-T-Gallery (111 Front St. at Washington Street, suite 214, in DUMBO)for the opening of Larry Racioppo's "Brooklyn Interiors."

The spaces that fill Larry Racioppo’s photographs are always larger than any possible building that might enclose them. Whether it is the conscious majesty of the Loew’s King and Pitkin Theaters, now gone spectacularly to ruin, the blue collar universe inside the Furlong Tavern, or the scattered desks and chairs in a closed Catholic elementary school much like the one he attended a generation ago, his rooms contain an almost infinite number of lives and dreams -- all solidly encased within their painted, often peeling walls.“Brooklyn Interiors” is the result of years of seeking out and gaining access to those places where the physical bones of the city concentrate and clarify the elusive spirit that makes Brooklyn Brooklyn.

“Brooklyn Interiors” will be on exhibit from April 3 to May 11. For more information, call (718) 782-5920 or visit www.safetgallery.com.
