Bushwick Open Studios<\/a>, a free art tour organized by a group of local volunteers, will run from tomorrow until Sunday in the Brooklyn neighborhood that\u2019s been lauded (and in some cases, decried) as the next coolest thing. What began as a midsize festival in 2006 with 85 studios has become an enormous, hectic jumble with more than 600 participants. For the duration of the weekend, galleries, studios, warehouses, basements, parking lots and other locales will be open to the public daily, with artists (such as\u00a0Samantha French<\/a>, whose work is pictured above)\u00a0milling around to discuss their works. There will also be music, panel discussions and local food. Even with an\u00a0online directory<\/a>, an\u00a0app<\/a>\u00a0and printed maps that can be found at one of B.O.S.\u2019s nine hubs, it\u2019s an overwhelming amount of art to take in, so here is a shortlist of galleries and group shows not to be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n

NEWD Art Show<\/strong>
\nIntended to complement the experience of Bushwick Open Studios,NEWD Art Show<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 housed in\u00a0the 1896<\/a>, the building where the now-infamous \u201cGirls\u201d warehouse party episode was shot \u2014 will bring together nonprofits, artist-run galleries, collectives and project spaces. Its curators, Kibum Kim and Kate Bryan, are high school friends with solid art-world credentials \u2014 Kim teaches at Sotheby\u2019s Institute and Bryan spent time at Sotheby\u2019s and Andrea Rosen Gallery \u2014 who are seeking to lure collectors and cognoscenti to Bushwick. The work on view will be in a variety of media, from video to concrete-infused foam to aluminum. Talks will revolve around issues relevant to enterprising up-and-comers; one on Friday afternoon, featuring assistant curators from the Brooklyn Museum, the Studio Museum and the New Museum, will focus on how to bring emerging artists into established institutions.

Interstate Projects<\/strong>
\nThis established local gallery will feature the work of Justin Berry, an artist who takes photographs within video games and makes pictures out of words. Don\u2019t forget to visit the downstairs section of the gallery, where images of the sky and the earth each cover one wall, while orchestral scores play dramatically in the background.

\"JuliaJulia Curylo, \u201cChicks,\u201d (2013), at Art 3.<\/span><\/div>\n

Art 3<\/strong>
\nAs part of its inaugural exhibition and participation in B.O.S.,\u00a0Art 3<\/a>\u00a0will showcase the works of 12 artists from around the globe. Standouts include \u201cPicnic,\u201d a painting by Andre von Marisse that reimagines Edouard Manet\u2019s iconic \u201cLe D\u00e9jeuner sur l\u2019Herbe\u201d as a scene involving characters from the Popeye cartoons, and Julia Curylo\u2019s \u201cChicks,\u201d chicken-shaped inflatables covered with imagery that references famous female artists like Frida Kahlo and Georgia O\u2019Keeffe.

\"Jesse<\/div>\n
Jesse Hlebo, \u201cTomorrow\u00a0Will Be Much Like Today,\u201d (2014),\u00a0at Signal Gallery.<\/span><\/div>\n

Signal Gallery<\/strong>
\nIn a neighborhood with more warehouses than trees, a gallery show highlighting work made with industrial and architectural materials makes perfect sense. This weekend (and beyond), this large, sparse space will feature the works of three artists, Andrew Laumann, Jesse Hlebo and Nicholas Gottlund, who utilize discarded film posters, burnt plywood and recycled paper pulp, respectively. Their pieces are meditations on the degeneration and purposeful destruction of systems, and the waste and byproducts that result. Of particular note are Laumann\u2019s sculpture-paintings, which recall the spontaneity of Impressionism but are actually made of tiny scraps of paper that have been methodically applied and reapplied.
