BioBAT Art Space

Brooklyn Army Terminal, BLD A
Main Entrance Located on the Waterfront.
Vibrant Matter is a solo exhibition by Japanese bio-artist and researcher Yoko Shimizu that features a selection of the artist's work exploring the dynamism, agency, and expressive potential of living systems. Working with plant and microbial organisms as subject matter, material, and artistic collaborators, Shimizu's work probes and reveals the invisible intra-acting forces that animate processes of creation, adaptation, growth, and transformation in all organic matter. In both her scientific research and her artistic practice, Shimizu's work asks the question, how do we as humans shift our relationship with nature from one of domination and control to one of symbiosis and collaboration? She develops novel techniques and new materials, harnessing the infinite wisdom of nature and the tools of emerging technology, to push the boundaries of newly imagined non-human forms of communication.
BioBAT Art Space is a gallery dedicated to the intersection of Art, Science, and Technology, cultivating relationships between artists, the community, and future generations of innovators. The art space is housed in the ground floor lobby of a nonprofit bio incubator, BioBAT Inc., located in the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.

Free Workshops: 1-1:45pm & 2-2:45pm at Art Cake
The International Contemporary Ensemble is an artist collective that is transforming the way music is created and experienced. The Ensemble’s 36 members are featured as soloists, chamber musicians, commissioners, and collaborators with the foremost musical artists of our time. Works by emerging composers have anchored the Ensemble’s programming since its founding, and the group’s recordings highlight the many voices that weave music’s present.
About the Workshop:
Phyllis continues Floating Verses, a global community music-art piece that invites participants to create their own music box strip. Participants design, draw and punch out their own tunes on music box punch tape. Eventually, these strips are connected together in a quilt-like fashion, adding to the fabric of sound collected from other participants in previous workshops.
The sounds you hear during the workshop are strips from the following places/workshops:
University of Ioannina (Greece)
Far North Festival (Illulisat, Greenland)
Morris Museum (Morristown, NJ)
Philly Magic Garden (Philadelphia, PA)
Ben Franklin Institute (Philadelphia, PA)
SUNY New Paltz, NY
Abrons Arts Center (NYC)
Described by The New York Times as “spellbinding” and “delightfully quirky matched with interpretive sensitivity,” Phyllis (2022 Guggenheim Fellow, 2019 Cage-Cunningham Fellow) is a composer, pianist and sound artist whose music draws from her tactile exploration of object and sound. She has performed her music at Lincoln Center, Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Abrons Arts Center, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Los Angeles County Museum, Baryshnikov Arts Center and numerous other places.
