Paul Pfeiffer will be inaugural artist-in-residence at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center arena

Conceptual artist Paul Pfeiffer has been named the inaugural artist-in-residence at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, as the arena expands its art programming with new commissions and digital-screen projects. Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment said Pfeiffer will be embedded in both public events (including New York Liberty and Brooklyn Nets games and concerts) and behind-the-scenes operations, and will collaborate with artist Shaun Leonardo and the Social Justice Fund on a year-long project titled “Exodus” offering media workshops for people affected by the criminal-justice system. The residency is set to begin next month, alongside “Art on the Hour,” a program of 60-second moving-image works shown at the top of every hour on the arena’s plaza “oculus” screen in a partnership with Barclays Bank running until spring 2027. Additional works planned include new commissions by Sarah Sze and Kambui Olujimi and existing works by Rashid Johnson and Mark Bradford.
