New Gallery: Pandemic opens Saturday in Brooklyn

NYC’s unemployment rate is nearing 10% (higher than the national average by a point), the heat index in the City this week was as high as the crowd at Glasslands, we’re losing Arts programs in the schools left and right, Ad Hoc is shutting down their main gallery space, and Jennifer Anniston was thrown into the trunk of a car.

Who would believe in this topsy-turvey New York that a GALLERY celebrating Street Art is actually OPENING?  You read it right. It’s called Pandemic (explanation below) and its on the South Side of Williamsburg Brooklyn in a space that used be the DollHaus, a Gothic-themed and deliberately disturbing gallery with Kewpies on skewers and mutilated cyborg dolls with Lydia-Lunch eyes. Even though it’s a little off of the main Williamsburg drag, it’s just a block from the first artist/hipster outpost “Diner”, and two blocks from the favorite place for Wall Street big-bellies to take guests for a daring trip across the river for steak on their corporate card , “Peter Lugers“

Now the newly painted space has a fresh air of possibility that washes over you when greeted by the sunny owner of Pandemic, Keely Brandon, an artist and friend of the street art scene for some time.  This week we stopped by during the installation and the gleaming walls, new lighting, and shiny floors bespoke a world full of possibilities.  Saturday night the small gallery will host a group show of work by no less than 14 street artists, an impressive show of strength for the Grand Opening.

Brooklyn Street Art: A new gallery!  How did you hook this up?
Keely: It kinda just fell into my lap, I was apartment hunting and was offered a storefront instead. At the time it was a jewelry store. I started thinking about how awesome it would actually be to have a gallery space that I could run my own way. Free to display the art and merchandise of myself and other artists I respect. So I just went for it.

Brooklyn Street Art: Is “Pandemic” referring to something in particular, or just a general feeling of dread?
Keely: It’s the concept of a creating a worldwide epidemic, but in a positive way! expanding the global consciousness of our breed of art.

Brooklyn Street Art: Have you ever had a gallery before?
Keely: Nope

Brooklyn Street Art: How did you chose the artists that are involved with this show?
Keely: I chose a group of prolific street artists who’s artwork and dedication I really admire. Many have worked together before on projects, and create an awesome looking show.

Brooklyn Street Art: This place used to be a gallery for baby dolls dressed in gothic garb – babies with black lipstick and white eyes, etc.  You find any heads rolling around in the closet?
Keely: Ha.. yea actually when i first moved in there i could have sworn the basement was haunted! No heads, but a lot of fuschia to paint over!

Brooklyn Street Art: Are you following a particular theme for this show, or is it mainly a group show?

Keely: No real theme… The name of the show is pandemic 37 – which is basically the gallery address. The show is just a grand intoduction to the place..

Brooklyn Street Art: Outside of the artists in the new show, what art excites you the most?
Keely: hmmm.. I like alot of different things.. strange 70’s artwork. Peter Max, Marushka, and other obscure wall hangings. I love old illustrations in wildlife books, deep sea creature photographs and dinosaur everything. Anything with gnarly teeth!

Brooklyn Street Art: You ever have dinner at Diner? Muffins at Marlowes? Porterhouse at Peter Lugers?
Keely: Dinner at Diner once, muffins at Marlowe… never. As for Peter Luger… I’m a vegetarian and I’m not rich!

One of the more entertaining pieces in the show is the working clock on the face of one of two monsters by Royce Bannon.  Royce explains the new development”

BSA: What made you make a clock?
Royce: I made a clock because I like functional art.  It looks cool and tells the time too.

BSA: What new skill did you use to install it?

Royce: No new skills were used in the making of the clock just the same old skills

BSA: What room of an apartment would it be more appropriate for?
Royce: Probably the kitchen.


BSA: Is it Monster Time?
Royce: It’s always monster time

In addition to celebrating the opening of the new gallery, everyone will be celebrating the new Street Art Blog by celebrated photographers Rebecca Fuller and Luna Park.

Their exciting new endeavor, The Street Spot, will feature many of the images of the street that fans have faithfully followed for the last few years.  Besides being avid documentarians of the ever-evolving street art and graff scene in NY, Park and Fuller have a deep reservoir of knowledge and stories to draw upon.

TheStreetSpot.com will surely add to the richness of this vibrant scene for all the fans of the wacky world of street art.  The AfterParty is where we’ll raise a glass to these fine individuals and their dream.

So that’s TWO great openings in one night!  Things are LOOKING UP!

Time to Play “Spot the Difference!”

August 17, 2009 , ,

My mom nearly busted her back one time trying to lift a couch.

So I spent a lot of time when I was 4 or 5 sitting in the chiropractor’s office waiting room.

Two things I remember are;
1. The receptionist actually played records on a record player next to her typewriter so there would be that dull and comforting waiting-room music on the speakers, and
2. They had these stoopid “kids” magazines that tried to be educational AND fun.  NOT.

So, while Dr. Manhandle was cracking my mom’s back, I was sitting on a lime-green vinyl chair and listening to Lawrence Welk on wooden speakers, trying not to scribble on the walls with my no. 2 pencil and instead looking at “SPOT THE DIFFERENCE” pictures – two seemingly similar cartoons side-by-side. The trick was you had to find the 6 tiny little differences between the two by studying them closely.  Maybe that is why I’m always spotting Street Art from 3 blocks away.  Doesn’t explain why I can’t find my other shoe.

Here’s a fun game everyone can play. (CLICK on them to enlarge)

There are supposed to be six
Okay here’s one very similar to the one’s in the waiting room. There are supposed to be six differences here – but I only saw the kat’s polly-lop first.

This one makes you think about all those "official" news pictures you see everyday. Um, which one is true?
This one makes you think about all those official news pics you see on TV. Um, some slight differences here, people.

A Very Subtly Changed
Very subtle changes in the original (on the left) and the knock-off (on the right) Are you observant enough to catch the differences?

I KNOW, it's cheeky.
I KNOW, it’s cheeky.       Study hard.

Maybe this one is not as easy a comparison
No, their are actual differences. Take your time.

I Write the Songs that Make the Whole World Think I'm Sexy.
I Write the Songs that Make the Whole World Think I’m Sexy.

Okay, one's in color and the other is in black and white. That's the first
Okay, one’s in color and the other is in black and white. We’ll give you that. Anything else?

And finally..... courtesy of the street...
And finally….. courtesy of the street… (thanks to Thomas Goryeb)

So there you have it – how did you do? Are you observant?

If you are hooked on the game now – there is an iphone app too.  Go crazy with your bad self,

Brooklyn! We Golf Hard!

Brooklyn! We Golf Hard!

INSERT GOLF METAPHOR HERE

Skewville Helps the Community by Participating in “The Putting Lot”

I have no pigging idea what real golf is like – it seems so snoozy and upper crusty and I don’t have any polo shirts or Dockers.  At a recent BBQ this guy Uly told us about Disc-golf, which he said involves frisbees, buckets, doobies and hippies/rednecks.  Sounds like my family reunion. Kidding! There are no buckets at the family reunion.

I can see your true colors shining through. And that's why I love you.

I can see your true colors shining through. And that’s why I love you.

Anyhoo, today we are talking about Mini-golf in industrial Bushwick, which doesn’t sound like it would be too hard to master and you don’t have to know about Bogeys or being On Par.

Walk right in!

They call it “The Putting Lot” and it’s sincerely and educationally constructed in an empty lot, and may be the first real addition of greenspace for the citizens of Bushwick since before Jay-Z was playing stickball.

The landlord of the lot is letting these people create a golf course on his property this summer because they seem like such nice earnest kids. Anyway it’s not like they’re a bunch of metal-heads or hip-hop thugs or graffiti artists or anything.  Ha-HA!  Just checking to see if you are still reading.

A family plays the course on 4th of July.

Little do they know, two of the most nefarious street artists, Skewville, have infiltrated their high-minded community-awareness-raising project and have constructed a pitch-perfect 3-D Skewville environment for hooligans – where else- in the back of the lot.

Oh, sure, they LOOK like they're up to nothing.

Oh, sure, they LOOK like they are up to nothing.

Gabriel Fries-Brigg, one of the Putting Lot organizers, gave us a little tour of the Green greens.

Brooklyn Street Art: What’s the big idea behind this little golf course?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: The Putting Lot is all about trying to combat the lack of affordable recreation and general lack of recreation in New York City. The theme of the course is ‘urban sustainability’, but to us, fun is an essential part of making neighborhoods sustainable. In Brooklyn, where The Putting Lot is located there are also countless artists doing amazing work. A lot of that work goes unseen or unappreciated. We wanted to create a forum where people would literally get into the art, walk through it, think about it, and enjoy it.

Brooklyn Street Art: Why did you pick Bushwick as a location for this?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: We chose Bushwick for a range of reasons. The first being mostly selfish, many of the volunteers that started “The Putting Lot” live in Bushwick and we wanted to put recreation near our homes.  Bushwick is also lacking in recreational options more than many neighborhoods, especially for kids.

Gorgeous Green Bushwick is a leafy paradise for kids in the summer.

Beyond that, the industrial nature of Bushwick is rapidly changing and vacant spaces are both plentiful and crucial to the neighborhood’s evolution. Vacant spaces are often places where developers, neighbors, and city workers come into conflict, but they can also be rich places for residents to imagine what they would like to see in the city. The conversion of spaces to different uses will have a big impact on Bushwick as a neighborhood. The Putting Lot proposes one use for these spaces and suggests the possibility of many more.

Brooklyn Street Art: How does it compare to the competition like Six Flags?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: We won’t make you throw-up. Plus, you can hop on the L-train and be at The Putting Lot in minutes. The most important distinction might be that The Putting Lot was designed and built by Brooklyn artists. You don’t need to go ride a batman-themed rollercoaster to get your fix of fun in the summer. The Putting Lot lets visitors interact with the ideas and work of their local arts community.

Brooklyn Street Art: Are there any water slides?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: Hole #3 has an extremely-tricky water hazard. It doesn’t make the hole any easier to play when people add to the obstacles by getting in their swim-suit and hanging out in the water, as happens on occasion.

dd

Playing in the gutter is not usually recommended.

Brooklyn Street Art: Who designed the various holes?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: The Putting Lot issued a call for submissions in the spring and selected the 9-holes out of the sumbission pool. It’s an incredibly diverse course and group of people. Designers include gallery artists, art collectives, street artists, urban planners, engineers, architects, bike enthusiasts and students.

Should naseau or light-headedness occur while golfing on this hole, bottles of Peptol-Bismol are handy.

Brooklyn Street Art: What about those Skewville jokers?  Did they give you any trouble?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: Skewville made hole #6, aka The Bushwick Art Mart. The only trouble they cause is that their hole tends to back up now and then as people like to linger because it’s so much fun. I have to admit though, during the construction process of The Putting Lot I never knew what Skewville was going to build next. Watching their hole come together was a constant surprise. One day they’d be hanging a huge awning, the next day they’d be installing construction barriers. It wasn’t until just before we opened that they brought in the last of the suprises and we were blown away, it looks amazing.

Brooklyn Street Art: What do you think of street art?

Gabriel Fries-Briggs: Take the Skewville hole for example, the front of the art bodega is periodically painted over by different street artists. It’s the only hole that has continued to evolve since the opening of The Putting Lot. While there are so many reasons to respect street artists, this is one that I love best-that street art is a constantly evolving and changing form. Something you love today might not be there tomorrow. The Putting Lot itself is a temporary project. We encourage visitors to draw on pictures we have of the lot when it was empty and imagine what might be put in the space when we are gone in the fall. Street art has this quality that we try to emulate; always adapting based on the community around it.

On with the (Street Art) Show !

July 2, 2009

Action!  That’s what is happening in the street art scene in New York,

despite the wretched economy and artists losing their dayjobs, and galleries of all types dreaming up new innovative ways to stay afloat, the street art keeps coming.

In one week only (the week we lost Michael Jackson) we hit only a few of the events going on that featured street artists – we’re considering rollerskates and interns at this point – and even if you can’t afford it, you feel rich!  Plus the refreshments are usually free… just don’t take it on the street or you get a ticket.

Bodegas, Urban Sustainability, and Skewville?

May 18, 2009

So many stimulating high minded community-based projects are afoot these days,

as Brooklyn street artists continue to draw our attention to matters more pressing than, say, topless Miss California or the latest Tom Hanks tanker.

Stay tooned for a grand opening of a summer-long project in deep Bushwick that will raise consciousness and get you in the greens. See below the very industrious and stylish action-carpenters Skewville hard at work on their contribution to this seriously fun project opening next month!
