Micro Museum highlights the interactive, media and visual art by Kathleen and William Laziza in a multi-year program entitled ABOVE & BEYOND. “Camera Fancy” includes a new interactive sound responsive videoart installation by William Laziza –Videoscopo - as well as other kinetic or interactive sculptures and paintings.

Micro Museum began as a brainchild of Kathleen Laziza when she invented it on Smith Street in 1986. She worked in the neighborhood through NYC Housing Authority, PS 261, PS 29, SBLDC and Brooklyn Heights Playground Committee plus exhibiting works of fine art in many genres that brought visitors to Brooklyn as a pioneering cultural destination. Under her curatorial direction over 1,000 contemporary artists exhibited their works from 2002 – 2010. Including annual presentations of the International Not Still Arts; or exhibits by Euart, guest co-curating with Reflects-Arts’ Juliette Pellitier, Luca Curci; Artists-in-Residence with Benoit Maubrey’s Berlin-based Audio Gruppe and The Contemporary Ballet Theater, ongoing musical training with Musician’s General’s one-on-one instrument lessons and professional theater/dance rehearsals on the 2^nd floor. After the closing of Signature Power in May 2010, the Lazizas are dedicating time and space to their touch sensitive and visual works of art that are open for viewing every Saturday from 12 – 7 PM.
