Rebecca Shapass
Video & Photography
DUMBO, Brooklyn
Rebecca Shapass is a filmmaker and artist investigating documentary form and archival practice through the creation of film & video, photo, installation, and text. In her studio, she combines techniques of optical & aural abstraction with documentary sensibilities to propel audiences into a space of questioning not only what they see & hear – but how and why. Rebecca is compelled by the uncapturable – what escapes both image & language — and how these absences haunt memory & archive.

Craig Anthony Miller (CAM)
Painting & Public Art
DUMBO, Brooklyn
Craig Anthony Miller (CAM) (b. 1971) was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He received his BFA in graphic design from Saint John’s University in Queens, New York. His profession as a graphic designer, gave way to his natural transition into painting. The opportunity to share his creative process at a live painting event on the Lower East Side in 1996 was the first in a series of events that would lead him to shift his focus primarily to painting.
Working in primarily acrylic and aerosol paints, both in studio and public spaces, CAM has created a series of paintings and murals that combine the style of stained glass and the energy of the urban landscape with symbols of freedom, strength, resilience and wellbeing.
