Career

[edit]

Sarah E. Brook was born in Reno, Nevada and currently lives in Brooklyn, NY.[1] Their practice is influenced by the Light and Space Movement and the Land Art Movement, particularly artists such as Robert Irwin, Nancy Holz and Walter De Maria, bringing a lens of queer identity and personal narrative to those traditions.[2][3]

Significant public art commissions include Viewfinding (2018) in Riverside Park South, supported by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and Riverside Park Conservancy;[3][4] The Need You Know It Is A Letting Light (2022), commissioned by BRIC Arts Media and supported by New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and Prospect Park Alliance;[5][6][7] Worthy (2021), installed at Poly Prep as part of a yearlong teaching artist in residency;[8] A permanent installation in City Harvest's NYC Hub (2022);[9] Portal (2019) at the Governors Island Art Fair;[10] and a permanent commission by the Crystal Foundation (2019);[11]

Brook often incorporates text into their works, and has collaborated with queer and trans writers in public projects at the Sweet Lorraine Gallery in Brooklyn (2024)[12] and Riverside Park, NYC (2018), in a piece covered by The New York Times.[4] Writing collaborators include CAConrad, Joy Ladin, Spencer Reece, Timothy Liu, Jen Currin, Leslea Newman, Rachel Rose and 2024 Guggenheim Poet in Residence Meg Day.[13] [3]

Brook has also exhibited at the NYC Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in 2021 with curator Avram Finkelstein[14], the 2019 Brooklyn BRIC Biennial[15][16], Open Source Gallery in Brooklyn (2021),[17][18] the Pfizer building in Brooklyn (2018), [19] Turley Gallery in Hudson, NY (2022),[20] and Glass House Projects (2022). [21] In 2020 Brook was interviewed by Yale University Radio,[22] and in 2022 created a new collaborative work with Sara Jimenez for the Artist Space Segue Reading Series. [23]
