When There Were Birds- A Site Specific Installation by Millicent Young at 11 Jane Street

“When There Were Birds” by Millicent Young is the inaugural sculpture installation for the new 11 Jane St gallery. Utilizing her materials of horsehair and wood to capture the vicissitudes of light and shadow, Millicent Young’s artwork alternates between a keen conscious awareness and shifting dream-like forms. Young’s site-specific work fills this elegantly restored performance space with a sensitive meditation on space and being. The installation at 11 Jane Street Art allows the viewer to fully participate in the experience of Millicent Young‘s work as they move through the gallery experiencing the unique light of this restored 125 year old warehouse now transformed into an art and performance space. “When There Were Birds” is curated by Jennifer Hicks of 11 Jane Street and Jen Dragon of Cross Contemporary Art.

“When There Were Birds” opens Saturday, March 30 and runs through Sunday April 28th, 2019. Gallery hours: Sat and Sun, 12-5pm.
