If you appreciate visual art and aesthetics—then you absolutely must watch the new Netflix original docu-series “Abstract: The Art of Design.”
The newly minted 8-episode series follows “eight of the most creative thinkers and imaginative minds working in the world of art and design today,” and ever since it came out on Netflix we’ve been receiving email, after tip, after Facebook message about it. Now that we’ve gotten around to actually watching it, we could not recommend it more highly.
Even though only one of the eight episodes follows a photographer—world-famous portrait photographer Platon—all eight are worth binge watching your way though immediately. They will give you a new appreciation for the creative process, inspire you to take your own work to the next level and leave you amped up to go out and create something new right away.
There’s not much more we look for from a documentary series, much less one that isn’t even about photography in particular, but about the much broader pursuits of “design” and “art.”
Check out the series trailer up top; if you’re a Netflix subscriber, you can watch all 8 episodes right now at this link.
For the first time in the show’s history, BKLYN DESIGNS is commissioning an original, site-specific installation to be displayed at the Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint from May 5-7, 2017.
This juried competition is open to Brooklyn-based artists, designers, architects, engineers and others with demonstrated experience in the conceptualization, design and production of creative installations.
The installation, based on the concept of connectivity, offers another avenue for designers, architects, artists and makers to illustrate their
work during NYCxDESIGN, the official citywide celebration of design, to a large audience of design trade professionals and design savvy consumers.
Concepts should also take the BKLYN DESIGNS venue into consideration and demonstrate an understanding that it will coexist with exhibitors, a curated marketplace, panels, workshops, and visitors over the course of the three-day show. Installations can be grounded or suspended and exterior installations, if weather-resistant, will also be considered.
Presented by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and co-produced with Novità Communications, BKLYN DESIGNS is Brooklyn’s premier design event showcasing the borough’s strong creative community.
Proposals with creative concepts and a mission statement explaining how the project relates to BKLYN DESIGNS and the theme of connectivity are due by March 10, 2017.
Submissions will be reviewed by a jury of design experts and the winner will be announced in late March. The winning designer or design team will be awarded $1,000 for the design and construction of the installation and showcased as a special feature of the show.

With thousands of visitors over the three-day weekend, BKLYN DESIGNS is one of the most vibrant shows in New York City. The 2017 edition is May 5-7 at the Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint.
About BKLYN DESIGNS
Founded in 2003 by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, BKLYN DESIGNS was one of the first design fairs to shine a spotlight on the creative economy in Brooklyn, and helped put many Brooklyn makers and supporters on the map.
You are invited to participate in a Sketch Workshop with a professional model and explore Steven Shearer's multifaceted drawing techniques reflecting the history of portraiture and figuration.
Sketch Night at The Brant Foundation is free of charge and open to artists of all ages and experience levels. Participants are invited to sketch from a professional model in one of the foundation’s gallery spaces, which currently houses an exhibition by Steven Shearer.

Steven Shearer on view at The Brant Foundation through March 2017.
Shearer’s work draws upon a visual lexicon of portraiture and representation of the body, often using found imagery that he collects and archives as source material. Through this process, contemporary imagery is distilled into the tradition of portraiture revealing affinities between various modes of figuration throughout history to the present.
This workshop focuses on the dialogue that exists between Shearer’s formal drawings, preparatory sketches and finished paintings and invites participants to explore the same in their own artistic practice.
