Recess Art is a publicly accessible nonprofit artist work and exhibition space located in a street-level storefront at 46 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, New York City, United States.
Recess "functions neither exclusively as a gallery nor a studio space, but instead gives artists the ability to set the terms of their work in a store-front location that is open to the public.
Recess artists are given ample space, within which they can choose to create large-scale, process-based and/or site-specific work, and a stipend with which to purchase project materials.
Taking the film as a point of departure, the series continues to challenge traditional identity politics and question modes of cultural appropriation.
The evening featured performances and live tableaux reinterpreting the inaugural Michael Jackson academic conference McMillan organized for Yale University in 2004.
