DUMBO's gallery scene is small enough that a closing weekend actually means something, and Stephen Deffet's solo show at Stump on John Street ends with this one. It is free, it takes fifteen minutes, and it sits between the Brooklyn Flea under the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge Park waterfront, so it slots into a walk you were probably doing anyway. Small galleries like this are where you see work before anyone has decided what to think about it.
What to expect
A single compact gallery room in a DUMBO commercial building, quiet and unhurried, with the artist's work hung sparely. Expect a short visit of fifteen to thirty minutes. Staff are usually available to talk about the work.
