Power inspires and fuels the world, just as it subverts and poisons in equal measure. It is perhaps one of the great juxtapositions of humanity: when used for good, it brings joy and benevolence; yet when used with nefarious intentions, it delivers wrath and destruction. Artists have heralded and critiqued power for all time, examining all of its many nuances and forms across all media through all possible readings of the term. For this inaugural collaboration held at a former power plant in the historic industrial hub of Gowanus, Brooklyn, we encourage artists to think about what power means to them today.
