The show begins with an opening reception on Tues., Sept. 23, 6-8pm and continues through Nov. 1.%u201c In the case of Peter Nagy and Jessica Diamond, the non-traditional display follows non-establishment themes in the works,%u201d says Battenfield. Nagy, who owns the East Village gallery Nature Morte, employs xeroxes of appropriated images to make satirical comments on the current art scene and culture. Diamond collages cartoon-like drawings and words on translucent rice paper.%u201c With the other artists it is the use of the materials themselves that defy traditional framing,%u201d adds Battenfield. British-born Dina Helal%u2019s highly colorful figurative work in mixed media includes lush materials on collaged irregularly shaped canvases and paper. Cyrilla Mozenter will display a special 20-foot drawing which was commissioned for this exhibition. Michael Ross uses small images appropriated from newspapers and magazines to make subtle comments about the contemporary American landscape in banners made fromflourescent colored nylon parachute cloth.The fall season at the Rotunda Gallery continues with %u201c The Animal Within,%u201d running Nov. 10-Dec. 20. Artists Emilio Cruz, Linda Peer, and Rochelle Shiroff will show work that seeks to achieve psychological impact by incorporating animals into figurative paintings and sculpture. The first exhibition of 1987 presents the work of Group Scud, a loose collaboration which characterizes itself as %u201c a benevolent anarchy of irreverent artists,%u201d says Battenfield. %u201c Group Scud %u2014 Projects 1982-1985,%u201d will go on view January 13, surveying their work by presenting documentation of street events, recreating exhibitions, and displaying their art vending machines.In March 1987 The Rotunda Gallery expects to return to its original site at the newly-renovated Borough Hall where expanded space will allow for the presentation of two shows concurrently, says the gallery director. %u201c Each exhibition will feature on of Brooklyn%u2019s more established artists as well as a group show of emerging artists.%u201dThe Rotunda Gallery was founded in 1981 by Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden, in cooperation with the Brooklyn Museum, and Pratt Institute. The gallery is supported by grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and by corporate contributions. Hours are noon to 5pm Tuesday through Friday, and 11am to 4pm on Saturdays.

And it is the spaces of these recent newcomers that is being featured on the 17th annual house tour of the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Neighborhood Association, Saturday, Sept.27, l-5pm. Most of the tour homes feature stunning tum-of-the-century period detail such as oak, cherry, and mahogany woodwork, leaded glass skylights and windows, original mission-style brass light fixtures, and a profusion of Ionic and Corinthian columns. In addition, several have had extensive renovation, either still in progress or completed by former occupants. For example, one particularly fine modem kitchen, in an otherwise meticulously restored classical-revival house, has a glass wall that opens onto a balcony overlooking the garden. There is a feeling of an informal, almost California, style of living. The wood cabinets and furniture were all handcrafted by the kitchen%u2019s designer who will be on hand to discuss his work.Another highlight of the tour will be ProBrooklyn Museum HasThe Brooklyn Museum, which offers free drop-in art-making workshops for children throughout the year, and special events during holiday and vacation periods, has created the theme of %u201c Designs on You%u201d for its activities in the month of October.While every workshop includes an exploration into the museum%u2019s collections, each month a different theme guides the young artists%u2019 experiences. %u201c In November, in addition to exploring the permanent collection,%u201d says Abby Ehrlich, museum educator, %u201c we will examine a special exhibition which surveys American art and culture between the world r/ars.%u201d This is the major new %u201c The Machine Age in America: 1918-1941%u201d exhibition and workshops will be entitled %u201c Made in America.%u201d In December, the museum theme will celebrate the holiday season with %u201c Modem Merriment.%u201dTwo regular programs take place every weekend at the museum, says Ehrlich.

What%u2019s Up? is a program ofspect Lefferts Gardens%u2019 first condominium conversion: an original double-duplex notable for extensive use of stained glass in both apartments as well as particularly fine woodwork and fireplaces. The upper duplex was used by Amelia Earhart, a friend of the original owner, when she stayed in Brooklyn.There are two centers to this year%u2019s tour %u2014 Lefferts Manor, the single-family area which comprises most of the official City historic district and Parkside Avenue with imposing homes said to be designed after 10 Downing Street. Other notable features of the tour include a post-Victorian garden based on the Victorian idea that the better house was the one that linked most to nature. There will also be demonstrations on landscaping and planting city spaces and exhibits on renovation resources as well as chamber music and refreshments plus a block-long flea market will offer many bargains.Tickets for the tour are $7 on tour day with seniors, $5; children under 12 are free.
