Pop Up in Jersey City

2011-05-17T13:04:00.000-07:00

Pop-UP Art is an arts organization seeking to break the boundaries of the traditional art setting, by showcasing art events in non-profit, underused and site-specific locations throughout the NY Tri-State Area.

Beth Ann and Michelle who founded the organization, invited us to come make some art for the community of Jersey City at their Adopt A Lot festival; an event promoting their local Community Gardening Program. There were plenty of related workshops as well as local food and beer vendors, musicians and of course the visual artists!

Community enrichment is something that informs our practice as artists. Pop Up and 4th Street arts both promote that so we were psyched to come together with them and do something for a growing community. Jenevieve painted collaboratively with Then One, Mr. Mustart and Lugo. On repurposed wood panels which will be displayed throughout Jersey City over the next few months.

Hi, 8.5" x 11". 2011.

Vernon pays homage to the past and revises the traditional ghost story, addressing questions of postcoloniality, racialization, and historical memory. By means of the machine, text-inspired images are construed into rich black lines against white pages, she interprets such themes as violence, cultural exile, detachment, womanhood, sexuality, and the psychology of blackness. Think On It-Then Lay It Down For Good is longing, fear and memory translated onto fragile sheets. Ghosts congeal and bodies form in dark corners and hang about whispering until the inflection of their voices can be heard among the living.

2011-01-15T20:53:00.000-08:00

On the morning of Friday, October 8, 2010 Emilie Louise Gossiaux was struck by an 18-wheel semi-truck while riding her bike in Brooklyn, NY. She was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan where trauma doctors performed emergency surgery to save her life. In addition to stroke, traumatic brain injury, and resuscitated cardiac arrest, she suffered multiple fractures in her head, pelvis, and left leg. She emerged from the ER in severely critical condition with a pessimistic assessment of her brain function. A “grim” prognosis was made of her chance for survival.

Emilie Louise Gossiaux is an artist, student, and survivor currently alive in New York, NY.

2010-11-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

Native New Yorker and Cooper Union School of Art graduate, Malcolm A. Davis II utilizes glass, canvas, lamps, chandeliers and other objects in an attempt to capture the human experience. The decadent use of light, color, and the obsessive application of diamonds stimulate both the sense of exaltation and meditation through repetition. These mixed media arrangements of diamonds cut from magazines and foil papers, are used to crystallize our collective indulgences, desires, and experiences into compositions, portraits, and objects.

on view until December 2nd 2010 at 90 Stanton Street, NYC.

A short time lapse of two paintings done back and forth. They measure 44" x 27.5" each; acrylic, spray paint and screen prints on canvas. They aren't a diptych but I consider the two a pair. I might add some final touches later on. Next time we'll definitely start from stage one with the video. So, stay tuned for more and in the mean time check me out at:

I burnt the screen, literally.

2010-09-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

Well after months of printing around the hole, I decided to take action. Re-stretching a screen always feels like a huge job until I actually do it. Once I get all the materials together and 15 minutes later, voila!
Fresh and clean new screen. Now just the prewash, coating, drying, and yes, the burning! the good kind though. Time lapse coming soon?

stay tuned.

It's always interesting to meet people who collect art. It's even most interesting to meet people who collect your art. Terry stopped by the sidewalk gallery on Spring and Mercer last weekend to inquire about the work and the artist. He mentioned that he found a piece of art on the street in Chelsea that was similar to what we were selling. I mention to him that I sometimes leave art for people to find on the street with a message on the back. Terry and I had a great conversation about what he found and why it is important to express yourself through art. He recently sent a photo of what he found and said he will continue to support 624713.

Graffiti NYC: Artists of the Third

2010-07-03T17:48:00.000-07:00

Opening reception July 15th, 2010 6 pm - 12 am.

Graffiti NYC: Artists of the Third Rail features photographs, works on paper, paintings, sculptures, murals and live presentations by Martha Cooper, John Naar, Richard Hambleton, Snake1, Noc167, Jamestop, Stayhigh149, PNUT, Cap1, Tracy168, Futura2000, Dondi, Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Phetus, among other legends of the third rail.

Benrimon Contemporary is pleased to announce a group exhibition that demonstrates the trajectory of the history of graffiti in New York City. Graffiti NYC: Artists of the Third Rail is curated by Molly Sampson in collaboration with Mario Ramos (ARE) and Claudia Bumbac (DIA), owners of 1HUNDREDB; a Lower East Side storefront gallery that serves as the mecca of NYC urban art and graffiti culture. Aerosol Art has festooned New York City’s concrete facades and steel traincars for over four decades, it began as a humble trend of “tagging” in 1969 and transformed into what is now referred to as street art. The scope of this artistic genre has swelled in size to encompass a myriad of styles ranging from painted murals to wheat pastes and stickers. Graffiti as a fine art form has been the subject of controversy since the first appearance of street art into galleries nearly forty years ago, yet overtime, this rebellious and living art form has become a prominent component of the art historical canon.

As urban art culture has grown in popularity and adapted various forms, art dealers saw an opportunity to promote a new art form within the white walls of a gallery. Graffiti artists began to exhibit works in galleries and museums in the 1970s, and subsequently adapted their graffiti techniques into works that fit the gallery mold. Graffiti NYC: Artists of the Third Rail will present a range of canvases and works on paper that tracks the pulse of NYC street art over the past forty years. This paradigm-shifting art genre will be exhibited as a retrospective of NYC’s writers’ culture.

Photographs are an essential method of documenting graffiti since they are a permanent way to capture such a transient work of art. Photography has prolifically prolonged the short-lived existence of graffiti pieces that were cleaned off, painted over and disbanded, while successfully becoming its own artistic form. In the absence of photographic images, graffiti would be all but a vague memory in the minds of New Yorkers. Photographs from the 1970’s and 80’s will provide the present day viewer with the opportunity to walk the streets of NYC painted inside out at the height of graffiti’s explosion.

Graffiti on subway cars was a phenomenon witnessed by New York City’s straphangers during the early 70’s and lasting in intensity until 1989. Though the art on train doors today is mostly limited to photographs or black book sketches, the gallery will pay homage to the origins of graffiti by incorporating actual NYC MTA subway doors into the exhibition. These doors will be painted as a live installation to demonstrate graffiti techniques and auctioned off during the exhibition’s opening night to benefit The Bowery Mission.

Graffiti and street art are normally viewed in public outside of institutional spaces. The gallery acknowledges the natural setting of this art form and will allow the art to thrive in its proper street environment by having two murals painted on the gallery gates for the duration of the exhibition.

Benrimon Contemporary is located at 514 West 24th Street, 2nd floor, New York, NY 10011, between 10th and 11th Avenues. Our hours are Monday to Saturday 10am to 8pm and Sunday 12pm to 6pm.

The Artist Studio

2010-06-30T19:23:00.000-07:00

When discussing the collaborative process, one is usually asked where the work is done and how. People are inquisitive about art making; curiosity in possibility led me to create and discover. Perhaps, that same curiosity also landed me in Art School. That's been over for some time now but the inquisition has not ceased. Art making is sometimes a matter of figuring out; figuring out how this will look, how this will work, how this will be. Business people have offices, mechanics have garages, and artists have the studio. I like to have my studio in my home. I often find the studio to be the most private place next to the bedroom. It is the room that holds the creations of one's mind. All interactions in the studio between artist and material are related and intimate and I don't know how to share that moment.

I began this post with some intention of sharing photos of the studio but no photos were taken inside.One day we'll get to that. Recently the weather has been beautiful and hot here in New York. We just so happen to be working on a project too big for the studio. So here we are in the front yard sweating away absorbing hours of sun light. Not much can be said about the project at this time but the opening reception will be later this month in SoHo, NYC. If you will be in the city and would like to attend, send a message to 624713nyc@gmail.com.

@ Cooper Union's new academic building.

Installation by Jenevieve for Rites of Passage.

Opening Reception: Thursday, January 21, 2010, 6-9 pm
Exhibition on view: January 21 - February 11, 2010

Rites of Passage is a group exhibition, organized by guest curator Thomas Micchelli, that considers the multiple paths taken by new forms of expression at the turn of the 21st Century, specifically those found in the work of alumni of The Cooper Union who graduated between the years 1995 and 2009 from The School of Art, The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, and The Albert Nerken School of Engineering. Their explorations range from the intangibility of light and sound to the poetry of infrastructure, autobiographical reflection to political outrage, naked terror to absurdist humor. Rites of Passage takes its title from a poem by Audre Lorde that speaks of the transition between generations, of young people as agents of change as well as witnesses to the passing of obsolete ideas.

The works in this exhibition, most of which were made especially for the show, denote some kind of journey that signaled a turning point in the participants' lives or worldviews. Whether the passages are interior or external, they are accomplished through an openness and honesty of expression, a blurring of the lines between disciplines, and a willingness to try anything that might break apart an old paradigm and engender something new.

ASBRA X STHLM

"Asbra is the Swedish word we relate to all the good things on daily basis. We find life, quality in art, sunny paradises, fresh powder, winter land, music, happy faces, literature, action, colors, sunsets, travels, eco friendly products, everyday moments, starry sky in northern Scandinavia, first time experiences, friends, savex, Japanese game shows, big cities, boys..."

"The outcome of this can only be good things... ASBRA develops asbra things-
Being achromatic and a follower won't take you to paradise."

Keep up with the Swedish front. http://asbraxsthlm.daportfolio.com/

Meat Packing District
This past week while checking out the updates on Luna Park and Becki Fuller's RWK Street Post, I noticed that D*Face has done an installation on the wall we hang our paintings on to sell. Initially, I was flattered that this London based street artist came to America and installed on this wall; supplying us with a colorful backdrop or some active space for when there is not much art to sell. After hanging the day's exhibition this morning I thought it was a bit overwhelming with the abundance of color and activity but it's the street and change is good. The energy was great out there, paintings were selling, some clients stopped by to view the new work and people asked about the new 'graffiti mural' behind the display and I let them know it was D*Face and that his art is currently on view at the Jonathan Levine Gallery. Sometime in the afternoon while I'm away from the job, a man comes by interrogating Cris as to what was going on with our Art display; claiming that we are defacing the D*Face mural, we are wrong and that we have no right to do so. The truth is that Dick Face did his mural without consent from the building owners. Cris has actually received the approval of the building owners to display our Art leaning against the building or temporarily attached to the building.

This is when the day gets ugly. Dick Face lovers begin to arrive in small droves giving us nasty comments and disapproval without asking us questions and based on a pretense I do not know the origins of or the terms of. One couple, with an English accent, told me I was wrong for destroying his mural because he came all the way from London to do it. I explained that this mural just arrived earlier this week, we have been displaying here for the past 2 months and that the exhibition comes down before sunset. They were not satisfied. They believed that D*Face owned the right of displaying his composite stencil mural.

Authority and ownership are dangerous. I immediately found a reason to now dislike D*Face. Not only because of the response of his aficionados but because I believe he or someone representative of he sent these people to harass us. Their statements were not logic. The logic of the situation is that D*Face did graffiti on a wall that had graffiti on it already. So he has disrespected other graffiti writers. The rule in graffiti is that these writers now have the authority to go over D*Face's graffiti. Those are the rules from the 1970s until today. So where are the aficionados of the artist that came before D*Face? This all sounds silly and childish but it is what it is. The graffiti movement that began in NYC and spread over the world is based on that rule; so whether you agree or not you have to respect it or deal with the repercussions of not respecting it by those who still uphold the foundation of an element of their culture (let us not forget that graffiti is an element of hip hop which is the identifying culture of the black hispanic american). New York City is our community. We might be asked to stop setting up our art display because we seemingly inspired a large scale piece of vandalism. That wall has been in the same condition for at least 3 months, then 2 months after we are displaying there, a huge graffiti mural is applied. In New York City graffiti is a Felony and it is not taken lightly by the Police or by the Vandal Squad(a special task force which focuses on prosecuting graffiti artists). We call it art, they call it a crime. Cris, 624713, and other NYC artists who have displayed on that corner with us are bringing a live art community to the area yet we do not condone vandalism. We must now explain to the building owners that we did not inspire this graffiti on your wall and when people ask about the mural I no longer know who that artist is or where you can see more of his work.

"...half the gents in Britain were masturbating under raincoats in theaters to Shirley Temple movies, infatuated by "the turn of her leg." What Mr. Jackson was doing was merely projecting back what was beamed on to him by mass culture and consumer society.

I’ve always been disturbed by the title of Jeff Koons’ series of works based on toys: "Celebration." Was there ever a body of work less celebratory and more inert? For Koons, childhood, as shown in his art, is a lifeless signifier of death, everything from his brilliant reflecting balloon dogs to dull paintings of blow-up toys and colored clay advertising that life itself is fundamentally irrelevant, it’s the product that endures. So now Michael Jackson is now just a product and that giant sucking sound you hear is all of us consuming it. In the eyes of the culture and in his own painful eyes, he never really lived."

EnjoyBanking: An Interview With New York's $treet Artist$

available here at the Huffington Post.

the movement of the triangle

The whole triangle is moving slowly, almost invisibly forwards and upwards. Where the apex was today the second segment is tomorrow; what today can be understood only by the apex and to the rest of the triangle is an incomprehensible gibberish, forms tomorrow the true thought and feeling of the second segment.
At the apex of the top segment stands often one man, and only one. His joyful vision cloaks a vast sorrow. Even those who are nearest to him in sympathy do not understand him...How many years will it be before a greater segment of the triangle reaches the spot where he once stood alone?
In every segment of the triangle are artists. Each one of them who can see beyond the limits of his segment is a prophet to those about him, and helps the advance of the obstinate whole. But those who are blind, or those who retard the movement of the triangle for baser reasons, are fully understood by their fellows and acclaimed for their genius. The greater the segment so the greater the number who understand the words of the artist...

independence/upheaval

cinco de mayo is popular because it sounds better than dieciseis de septiembre, that looks more like french than spanish and americans are not all that fond of the french if you know what i'm talking about...

striving for perfection

Trans-avantgarde art could, or indeed should, quote from any period it liked. Furthermore, it need not now restrict itself to fine or 'high' art but could equally well adopt craft and other 'low' cultural techniques, materials and subject matter where appropriate. Newness could no longer be criterion of judgment because newness, it was realized, was unattainable, and consequently any claims to originality were downright fraudulent. Everything had already been done; all that remained was for us to take fragments of what was to hand and combine and recombine them in ways that were meaningful.

Newness

The ambition to reach perfection is confused with the idea of making a work independent of any particular time; but the desire to be new insists on making of it an event remarkable by its contrast to the present moment. The former admits of, and even demands, heredity, imitation or tradition, which are steps in its climb toward the absolute object it wishes to attain. The latter rejects them, and in doing so implies them still more strongly, for its essence is to be different.

Manufacturing Happiness

...people mispredict how happy they will be, but they also misremember how happy they were. People's "prospections" looking forward in anticipation, and their "retrospections", looking backward in reflection, often match very well. It is just that neither of these match the experience that they have...human beings want to be happy, they attempt to find happiness; but when they cannot find it, they find a way to manufacture it...this observation is nothing new. We are enormously capable of changing our view of the world in order to make ourselves feel better...we find ways to rationalize, to think about events that will allow us to feel a little bit better about them...people are unaware of their own talents to change the way they see the world. Everyone of us is very good at this, but very few of us realize that we are doing it...it is as if we have an invisible talent, an invisible shield.

These always strike me as the mark of a man breaching into the superstructure attempting to plant one sweet flower into our polluted world and this is what comes out every time he tries to put some fresh air and a bit of foliage back into our lives. A two dimensional acrylic or maybe oil painting of a stick figure like daisy. I could be wrong but I like to think that when I see them. I remember a few years back when bombers were hating hard body on these art fags trying to do graff. Now we are all friends and the world is becoming a better place and the flowers still make me smile inside and sometime out. Thanks Michael DeFoe. Keep on vandalizing public property! oops I mean Painting. Keep painting those flowers dude. thanks.

That made me laugh this morning. Pretending to hate when you really don't care. Weezy still gets me too. He is such a gift to this world. When i'm really down on art and the colors are losing their special allure I pop in some Weezy Wee. He always make me laugh and reminds me that hard work will always pay off ..."big stacks my pockets on creatine...got the industry shakin like a tamborine, like a bitch with some lips like Angeli-na Jolie"

So every thing's there and ready to go, just about. The paper print wall was fun, they get better each time. This project thus far has been surprisingly smooth, so the expected has arrived. The cold season is marked to make it's presence felt on our very special day. SO. The festivities have been held off until further notice. This isn't a complete bad thing though. This just means more time to strive toward perfection...

Really? but it's December, in New York!

2008-12-15T18:55:00.001-08:00

Yea, couldn't believe it myself. I really had to double check, just to be sure. Then I checked wikipedia to see if this was a sign of the end. Well, what I did find out is that this recession is an effect of global warming. What's scary is according to this chart, things just get worse.
