Owner/Director Brook
Bartlett spent her teenage years downtown in the early eighties, making
street art, painting and playing underground music. Exhibiting at the
age of 17, working as a studio assistant to friend and mentor Jean-Michel
Basquiat, hosting literary and music salons, doing performance art and
curating group shows fomented the desire to create a gallery.
In the spring of 2005, a beautiful storefront became available in a cast-iron
building on the Southside of Williamsburg. For three decades it had been
closed to the public, its unique 10 ft. double casement display windows
covered up. The raw potential was immediately apparent. A few days later,
a lease was signed and Outrageous Look was born.
The vision for the gallery is inspired by Bartlett's heroes Betty Parsons,
Leo Castelli and Marian Goodman. It is a fresh take on a venerable model.
New talents are recognized and nurtured by the dealer in an extremely
personal way. In a passionate artist/dealer relationship, inspired and
relevant voices rise above the fray. The gallery is forming a family of
artists whose work will be appreciated and influential for decades to
come.
In it's first season Outrageous Look was named "Most Consistently
Interesting Outer-borough Gallery” for 2006 by the Village Voice.
