Exhibition at 55 Washington Street, Suite 200
Murals on Plymouth, Main and Washington Streets Dumbo Brooklyn
Watch This Space
Opens September 24th, 2010 to October 23rd, 2010
Runs Thursday through Sunday, 12pm to 5pm
As a start to the Dumbo Arts Festival, No Longer Empty will be working with exteriors of buildings as well as mounting an exhibition in a vacant gallery space. United under the title of “Watch This Space”, both the exhibition and the mural works will allude to Dumbo’s industrial past as well as its current process of gentrification as the area remakes its image and purpose.
Working with the scaffolding, which surrounds the buildings in Dumbo, Chris Stain’s works will portray hauntingly photo realist images of New York crowds in gritty, urban scenery to elevate a sense of the working class hero.
In the gallery space at 55 Washington Street, NLE will be installing a site-specific exhibition, which unites the outdoors with the inner space again referencing the intensive construction of Dumbo in its march to gentrification. Artists to date include Alexandre Arrechea, Alejandro Almanza Pereda and Cal Lane.
Cal Lane creates “soft” or delicate images through “hard,” industrial tools. For instance, the artist has carved floral lace patterns into gardening shovels and car doors and carved intricate tapestries from oil drums.
The interdisciplinary quality of Alexandre Arrechea’s work reveals a profound interest in the exploration of both public and domestic spaces. He creates wry comments on the rapid expansion/demolition of cities mediating between the two impulses with his own push-pull sense of artistic negotiation.
Alehandro Almanza Pereda transforms the most basic objects from daily life or construction sites into poetic ruminations, which often seem to defy the laws of gravity. At once playful and conceptually strong, the viewer is compelled to see wood chips, crates, cinder blocks or florescent bulbs as aesthetic entities capable of transcendence.

No Longer Empty, Know Hope Mural
Israeli Street Artist, "Know Hope", graced the current exhibit space at Hotel Chelsea this past week with a beautiful mural. Here is my documentary of the mural's installation. We are sorry about the long absence, but Kay and I have been working hard with the NO LONGER EMPTY group. The No Longer Empty group is the not-for-profit organization responsible for the exhibit. Check out their website. It's a beautiful thing. http://www.nolongerempty.com/
No Longer Empty's mission is to fill vacant storefronts across NYC with world class art exhibitions. There are many additional projects in the works, so stay tuned!
Here is an image of Know Hope and myself at the mural installation:
The Chelsea Hotel (Hotel Chelsea) is located on W23rd street in NYC between 7th and 8th Avenues. Special thanks to Julian Navarro for his contribution to this documentation.
Interesting Project by David Lynch
INTERVIEW PROJECT <---CLICK HERE to view the project. Muy Interesante! Read on: David Lynch has launched The Interview Project, an ongoing online documentary.
The project is meant to feature an interview with a random person found along the film crew's route and post them on the site every three days over the course of one year.
I'm still waiting for my copy of "Dark Night of the Soul" to arrive, but this is a good pacifier.
I bought and read his recent book, "Catching The Big Fish", and did not regret it.

Kay presented me with a portrait of myself that actually manages to make me look cool! An astonishing accomplishment indeed. I think.... Steve McQeeen meets Moby? Or...ummm... maybe not.
