WELCOME TO brutjournal!
SO EXACTLY WHAT ARE WE UP TO HERE?
WELL WE’RE INTERESTED IN FORMS OF ART AND CULTURAL EXPRESSION THAT BREAK THE MOLD; THAT ARE FRESH, DIFFERENT, EXPERIMENTAL, DARING, AND DEFY FAMILIAR LABELS; AND THAT, FOR ALL THEIR INNOVATION OR FAR-OUT FORM, UNABASHEDLY CELEBRATE AND REAFFIRM THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
SOUND GOOD?

With this month’s purity theme in mind, we find that many of the works on view in Facts of Light, an exhibition at Cathouse Proper at 524 Projects, a gallery in Brooklyn, capture the spirit of the power of pure form in its most ephemeral manifestation — that of pure light.
ON VIEW IN THE CATHOUSE: THE FACTS OF LIGHT

IN A GROUP OF PERCEPTION-CHALLENGING ARTWORKS, SUBJECT AND MATERIAL APPEAR TO BE THE SAME

Several articles in this month's brutjournal touch upon the theme of purity, considering the meaning of that word in relation to art and aesthetic concerns, in particular, while also exploring its use to refer to that which is authentic, honest, or unaffectedly real. Keepin' it real. That's our bag.

Facts of Light, a group exhibition that is now on view at Cathouse Proper at 524 Projects, in Brooklyn (through January 9, 2022), serves up a multifaceted theme of its own, reminding us that when one resonant, poetic-philosophical metaphor bucks up against another — purity, meet light; light, meet purity — some fruitful crosspollinating of ideas may emerge.

After all, what could possibly be more pure, not to mention more mysteriously ineffable, than light itself?
