When he talks about what’s happening at Pioneer Works, Gabriel Florenz gets visibly excited. And why wouldn’t he? The space, located in an old warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn, was founded in 2012 by the artist Dustin Yellin, who at one time planned to work and live there. Since then, it has grown considerably, almost comically — the building now contains artist studios, classrooms, a recording studio, gallery and performance spaces, offices, science lab, and much more.
On a recent afternoon, Forenz, the director of Pioneer Works, took ARTINFO on a tour of the space, where we talked about the numerous projects they have in the works and their current exhibition of the work of Shezad Dawood, which runs through November 1.
