Alter Your Reality and Step Into the World of M.C Escher at Industry City

You’ll be able to immerse yourself in the mind-bending designs of M.C. Escher with a special exhibition opening up this month at Brooklyn’s Industry City.

More than 200 works by the Dutch graphic artist, known for his mathematically precise, yet seemingly impossible, drawings will be on display in what is being billed as “Escher: The Exhibition & Experience.”

The works on display will showcase his full career, from his nature-inspired work of the 1920s to his illusionary work of the 1960s. Some of his most iconic pieces will be included, such as “Hand With Reflecting Sphere” and “Metamorphosis II.” In addition, a section of the exhibit will also explore Escher’s impact on pop culture and the work of contemporary designers, filmmakers and artists.

The “experience” part of the exhibition includes opportunities for visitors to step into Escher’s works with immersive photo booths, made for that selfie moment. There will also be play areas and educational resources on hand for those who want to delve into the math and science behind his work.
