Anonymous Brooklyn ULTRA 2023 Opening.
Anonymous Brooklyn is an installation built one person at a time. Over the course of New York City Jewelry Week everyone is invited to bring a piece of jewelry for display In the Gallery at Brooklyn Metal Works. You don’t have to have made the piece to display it. All the work will be placed on one wall, and each person will have only small nails to hang their piece. (We will have a hammer of course!) This is an accumulation, an accretion. Whoever hangs the first piece gets the first pick of placement and from there it grows. It might grow over, it might grow under. We ask that no one harm anyone else or the work of another but elbows will rub, hair may fall in your eyes, and proximity will certainly alter perception.
This call for entries is ongoing throughout the installation period. We will accept work until the installation closes on Nov. 23 at 5pm SHARP.

Bring us your jewelry. One person, one piece. Check our open hours to bring and install the work. The work will go through a formal documentation process where we photograph the work and receive your information. You will be given a coat check number in exchange for your work. You will participate in an installation performance. You will be photographed installing the piece and all pertinent information about that piece will be offered to the interwebs on all of our available platforms. Participants must be willing to wear a mask while performing these tasks. No name attribution will ever be publicly associated with the works or released by BKMW. If a work sells the name of the artist will be disclosed to the buyer if desired.
All you need to do is fill out our intake form and then come by and install your pieces during our open hours noted above. There is no review process to accept work, everyone is invited to submit one piece.
