New Witz Book On the Way…
Street Art takes many turns and I frankly never know where it’s going to turn up. Technically, it would seem that some street artists are always challenging themselves, and you, to reevaluate your core assumptions. Like this ornate sign decoration, which, by the way, does not impede drivers ability to see the message. You wondered how this one stayed up, right? – This week it was in Dumbo, Brooklyn and at first it seemed quite impossible that it was taped to the sky. It appeared in the Images of the Week a couple of days ago – and now there is this video wending its way through the digital world.

Jim Avignon and Jon Burgerman
The Salads and Ballads of Anxieteam.
wed june 2 / 11 PM
Petes Candy store – 709 Lorimer street
The dynamic and delightful duo reunite and return for a very special performance at Brooklyn’s much loved live music haunt Pete’s Candy Store.
Adorned by their revered hand painted stage dressing, Anxieteam (Jim Avignon and Jon Burgerman) will whisk you away to a land of doe-eyed maidens of tea and carnivorous video game characters. Swooning strums of the ukulele, lacquered in lament and wistfulness, will be charged with the electronic prong of sounds from the dawn of the digital age.
The intimate set will touch upon the key universal themes of the Anxieteam oeuvre; buffets and best-friends, relationships and spaceships, cakes and cats, and of course, salads and ballads.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own salad items to the event to contribute to a communal salad to made by the band during the event.
SEE THIS DUO PERFORM AT FACTORY FRESH GALLERY ON SATURDAY JUNE 5th at 6:00 PM

ABOUT 99%
99% perspiration, 1% inspiration. This old adage still makes sense in 2010. We at 99% Art Space produce the 99% perspiration, allowing the artists we work with to focus on the final 1% inspiration. We want to do the work to create a space which will be conducive to not only art exhibiting, but also to art appreciating, art learning and in the end art creating. We believe in the artist and the artwork they produce. This is the reason we, or any other art space for that matter, even exists. It’s about the artist and the inspiration and enlightenment their final art embodies.
99% is dedicated to doing everything in our power to support the artist and the work they create. We are also dedicated to art learning, through our upcoming series of lectures, classes, workshops and so much more. Of course we also are dedicated to working with the artists we want believe in to produce a regular schedule of exhibitions throughout the year.
Lastly, 99% is dedicated to underdogs. We will exhibit artists who been inspired by the worlds of comic books, animation, new media, graffiti, tattoos, illustration, folk art and many other forms of pop, subversive and outsider imagery.
99% perspiration, 1% inspiration. We like the way that sounds. We like the idea of working hard to create an environment for our artists to engage with comfortably, as they change the world one idea at a time!
P.S. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that the number on our building is 99! 😉
