LAST 2 DAYS !!!!!!! – at the new JOURNAL space in BROOKLYN !!!!
CABINET OF CURIOSITIES – CURATED BY KATHY GRAYSON
SEPTEMBER 14 – OCTOBER 4, 2007
THE JOURNAL GALLERY – 168 NORTH 1ST STREET – BROOKLYN (WILLIAMSBURG)
small works by: CHRIS JOHANSON . DASH SNOW . BARRY McGEE . JESSICA CIOCCI . BRIAN CHIPPENDALE . JUNG HONG . XYLOR JANE . TOMOO GOKITA . RY FYAN . AUREL SCHMIDT . TAYLOR McKIMENS . DEARRAINDROP . ASHLEY MACOMBER . MATT LEINES . JOE BRADLEY . ROSSON CROW . ANDREW JEFFREY WRIGHT . DEVENDRA BANHART . PATRICK GRIFFIN . TAUBA AUERBACH . WES LANG . CLARE ROJAS . BRIAN DeGRAW
p.s. this is the image/painting MATT LEINES has in the show – it’s great – it’s small, too – it’s kind of curious seeing Matt’s work small – usually he presents big pieces. worth the visit – all on its own – but the company is awesome – some pretty famous stuff – some new work – some familiar pieces that have been exhibited before – the BRIAN CHIPPENDALE piece is one of his signature “elves” – if you’ve never seen one – you can now.
p.s.s. BRIAN CHIPPENDALE will be in a 3 person show at CINDERS – mid November 2007.

the card for: AD HOC ART & YMI CREW PRESENT …
ARTWORK FROM ARTISTS: NATIVE, SPACE, CEKIS, SEKS, and CERN.
the show ran from AUG 10 to 19, 2007 at AD HOC ART, 49 BOGART ST, BUZZER 22, UNIT 1G, EAST WILLIAMSBURG INDUSTRIAL PARK, BROOKLYN, NY.
the card is a composite of the YMI CREW and includes pieces from Native, Space, CEKIS, and CERN.
CAROLINE PHAM designed the card.
the card was featured on the artlovers homepage – week of AUGUST 21, 2007.
maybe because we missed the show – but were so intrigued by the card – it started to haunt us and we did a little digging that we now share with you.
. . first of all CERN was kind enough to answer our dumb inquiries & sent in an additional jpeg image (above) that I believe is a collaborative (mural) work, and that was not part of the AD HOC ART GALLERY SHOW.
mostly, we asked – what does YMI stand for: ………. CERN replied:
“YMI …. why am I ? i m y.
your mind’s i. you must imagine.. your mother’s idols.. you me it…
your missions incomplete..
and anything else you might make up with the 3 letters”
and who are they:
“YMI is an art and music collective from New York City that has been creating large scale murals and exhibitions since the mid nineties. The murals are often collaborative works, the current show presents each artists’ work done individually and in different locations. Cekis, Cern and Sek 3 are each currently living in Brooklyn, Native is in Paris, and Space has been touring the East Coast for the past few months. The show consists of paintings done in many different mediums.”
Here’s a few jpegs from the ADS HOC show:
