The Old Stone House welcomes six artists from its surrounding community to exhibit and discuss the role of history, time and memory in their work.

This exhibition, which opens on February 1st at 7PM, is a collaboration between The Old Stone House and the G-Train Salon.

There will be an opening “salon” with artists Boris Rasin, Mason Saltarrelli and Karen Schoellkopf on Tuesday, February 1 at 7PM, which means there will be a Q&A with the artists. On Sunday, February 27 from 4-6PM, there will be a closing “salon” with artists Henry Chung, Robert Walden and Andrew Zarou (of the artist-run RHV Fine Art Gallery in South Slope).

The G-Train Salon made its debut in February 2009 from a living room on Atlantic Avenue.  A conversation-based exhibition series organized by a formerly Queens-based curator/saloniere and her Brooklyn-based partners, the venture has evolved into a collaboration between Krista Saunders and Jill Benson (two Brooklyn-based, independent curators who met as docents at the New Museum of Contemporary Art) and the generous residents/businesses that continue to offer them space and opportunity.

Each season, the G-Train Salon presents a series of solo exhibitions featuring emerging artists.  Each artist designs a site-specific installation for the space in question and hosts a discussion with the audience on opening night.

This is their first collaboration with the Old Stone House in Park Slope.
