BRONX TIMES R 44 EPORTER, MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2021 BTR
Bronx artists spotlighted
on Governors Island
BY JASON COHEN
As Governors Island reopened to
visitors on May 1, New Yorkers will
have the chance to see artwork from
two Bronxites in a new exhibition “We
are in Reach.”
“We are in Reach,” which is open
through June 25, features pieces by
Kraig Blue and Dario Mohr, who were
both artists in residence in 2020 with
the West Harlem Art Fund on Governors
Island. The exhibit looks at how
those of African descent honor memory,
philosophy and tradition and was
curated and presented by the West
Harlem Art Fund.
Bronx artist Michele Brody also
created an outdoor sculpture installation
near their exhibition space that
will be on display through Oct. 31.
“Our exhibition “We are in Reach,”
is a response to COVID and how New
Yorkers are trying to connect with
family, memories, language and traditions
more,” said Savona Bailey-
McClain, executive director and chief
curator, West Harlem Art Fund.” And
since we all agreed that human life began
in Africa, this show is African inspired.”
Blue, who uses found materials and
recycled objects as metaphors, created
“Strangest of Fruits,” which was
inspired by the Billie Holiday song
“Strange Fruit” and the original poem
“Bitter Fruit” by Abel Meeropol. It is
symbolic of the past and present lynching
atrocities in America.
“It feels great because I got to explore
and transform a room into a
large idea of sacred space,” Blue told
the Bronx Times. “The piece is doing
exactly what I hoped for.”
Mohr creates interactive sanctuary
experiences. For the exhibition,
his piece is titled “Descension” and
“Genesis” and is from Mohr’s “Bloodline”
series. It is an original creation
myth narrative by Mohr loosely
inspired by the mother of the Earth
(Gaia), The Bible, as well “Homo
Deus.”
He taught remotely during the past
year of the pandemic, but is now glad
his work is on display.
“It’s very exciting to have had the
opportunity to create in this space,” he
stressed. “It’s just amazing to get onto
Governors Island in what feels like a
natural space.

Bailey-McClain
In some ways I wanted to create the
outdoors indoors. I wanted to create
this series that honored the matriarch
mother of humanity.”
Brody’s piece “Garden Sentinels,”
deals with change and the environment
and offers the public to engage
with nature.
This past year was quite busy for
Brody as she taught virtual workshops
and was constantly creating things in
her studio.
“It’s (Governors Island) a great location,
so I think a lot of people catch
as they’re coming and going,” Brody
said. “It’s really wonderful to walk
down the pathway and see the light
catching the work.”
