Brooklyn Army Terminal, BLD A
Main Entrance Located on the Waterfront.
Saturday 10/16, 12-5pm
Sunday 10/17, 12-5 pm
BioBAT Art Space is a gallery entirely dedicated to the intersection of Art and Science. Our mission is to bring innovative Contemporary Art, Science, and Educational programming to Brooklyn that is accessible to all and fosters community. As we think of the future and try to solve the problems of tomorrow, the fusion of art and science holds the key to unlocking the answers. We believe in the power of the arts to enhance creative and critical thinking, make connections across disciplines, and expand knowledge.
BioBAT Art Space cultivates relationships between artists, the community, and future generations of innovators BioBAT Art Space is pleased to present Common Frequencies, an exhibition that brings together the works of Lorena Mal, Marcela Armas, Gilberto Esparza, Tania Candiani, and Interspecifics, and curated by Elisa Gutierrez Eriksen. The work of these Mexican artists meets at the intersection of art and science, and explores the relationship between these two disciplines through sound, urban ecology, language, and the construction of collective imageries. The artists—working across performance, installation, photography, sound, and drawing—are inspired by resonance, mechanics, electricity, and magnetism and take these phenomena as the basis for the invention of mechanisms that give voice to nature.
Concert: “Household Requiem”
Performances on 10/17 at 3 pm and 4pm
Household Requiem is a collaboration between Mexican artists Tania Candiani and composer Rogelio Sosa with the Grace Chorale Brooklyn, to be presented in the framework of the Common Frequencies Exhibition at BioBAT Art Space in Brooklyn. The presented piece was composed in response to the pandemic, and the lives that have been lost since 2020. It brings together the inner and external sounds of the lockdown in a composition about grief and unity.

Target Margin Theater
232 52nd St.
Sunday, 10/17 from 2-3pm
Target Margin Theater is a multi-OBIE Award-winning theater company based in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, founded on the principle that works of art return us to real truths most powerfully by their divergence from a strict illustration of reality. Over the past 30 years, we have energized the cultural landscape with innovative, experimental performances of classic plays, opera, literature and historical sources, continuously seeking to expand our conception of what can take place in a theater.
Led by Sarah Bitar and Rawya El Chab, Variations on “Exercises in Style” is a two day theater workshop for BIPOC youth that invites them to create a variation on the play by Raymond Queneau of the same title. On our first day we will introduce the participants to a variety of theater tools and exercises, from the Viewpoints Method, the Theater of the Oppressed, Kristin Linklater voice & speech, etc. On the second day we plan to develop our own take on the play and come up with a flow of theatrical tableaux. We will open our doors at 2pm on October 17th for visitors to come witness our explorations.
About the artists:
Sarah Bitar is a trilingual actor, vocalist and activist from Lebanon. She graduated from the Stella Adler Studio. She utilizes her craft in acting, teaching and devising to create compassionate dialogue that explores the different facets of the human social experience. Credits include: Glimpse; Revolucion (Rattlestick Playwrights Theater); Hail Elisha (LAByrinth Theater Company).
Rawya El Chab is a Brooklyn-based theater-maker from Lebanon. Her career trajectory combines training and experience in classical theatre, contemporary art performance and community engagement. Her work emphasizes the development of ludic practices and the democratization of the tools of theater as a means to dismantle modes of oppression.
