    Dots and Dashes is an exhibition about patterns and

    their place within systems. The exhibition title refers to

    the series of tones that comprise Morse Code - a method

    of transmitting textual data. The artworks displayed in

    Dots and Dashes reveal an afnity for repetitive mark

    making and recurring formal elements. Some of the works

    faithfully communicate the complexity of patterns found

    in nature and manmade structures, while others distill this

    complexity into simple geometric forms. Organic systems,

    diagrams of consumption, maps, and human history areamong the many issues explored through the selected

    artworks.Dots and Dashes is curated by Christina Vassallo

    as part of the Myrtle Ave Brooklyn Partnership Curator-

    in-Residence program.

    This Myrtle Windows Gallery exhibit is sponsored by the Myrtle Avenue

    Brooklyn Partnership, with support from the Greater New York Arts

    Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs,

    administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc. (BAC).

    By breaking down the walls of the traditional private

    art gallery, the Myrtle Windows Gallery brings two-

    dimensional art to the public arena via the storefront

    window, where it is accessible to anyone simply walking

    down the street. The initiative helps bring together artists,

    local businesses, and the community in a dialogue about

    art in public spaces.
