Brooklyn-based artists shine in The Shed’s free summer exhibition, ‘Open Call: Portals’

The Shed in Hudson Yards has opened 'Open Call: Portals,' a free summer exhibition featuring twelve early-career New York City artists. Curated by Dejá Belardo, the show includes works across multimedia, sound, and sculpture, such as Tyson Houseman's live soundscape 'The Six Seasons,' Zain Alam's audiovisual piece 'Meter & Light: Night,' and Mel Corchado's sugar-based garment installation '$ticky $in$.' The artists were selected based on their pitches and given a year to develop their pieces, with the exhibition exploring themes of spirituality, colonialism, migration, and identity.
