an “interactive, multi-media installation that plays with perspective to create the illusion of a manuscript book, in which viewers see themselves and others moving about as miniature characters.”
last year SUMAKSHI SINGH .. “worked on a 70 ft. illusion-based installation for the KOCHI-MUZIRIS BIENNALE, an animated painting for the INDIA ART FAIR, a projection based installation for KUNSTHAUS LANGENTHAL in Switzerland, and is currently in GURGAON, working on ..” her upcoming USA exhibit . . .

the first, and only time I met Sumakshi Singh (and got to see her work in person) was at her debut NYC solo show: ‘Lumps, Bumps and Things that are Art’, 2006 – in Chelsea, at the now defunct Van Harrison Gallery.
the show held out a lot of promise, and a very light, light hand . . in both the painting, and the actual site specific installation – and esp re: a very ‘bio-beautiful’ – ‘future vision’ . . . for things to come.

Q: What’s worse than your hubby fffffucking the household nanny ?
A: the green glow of radiation ssssickness.
and you think, we don’t . . eat our – young ?
THE ACID GREEN LIGHT . . of the SUMMER of 2015 – !!
well, I can categorically report that Instagram is great platform for trend-spotting.
and – telepathy. or as we like to call it: T & T to the maxxxxx !!!
take GREEN LIGHT.
Green, once the grassy warm fuzzy huggy color of bio-health, organic farming, and positive thinking things like . . Green Lit – to happen !!, is now the subconscious color of fear, chaos, in a word: nuclear destruction, nuclear explosion, & including nuclear plant accidents, radiation sickness, putrid water, barren soil for devades if not cneturies.
hell no, I don’t want Iran to have nuclear capability, I don’t want anybody to have nuclear capability, we are just not advanced enough, as a PEOPLE to handle it. I mean, we can eat our young, with our bare hands – so, thank you very much.
shout-out to the YELLOW DOGS, the ex-pat Iranian band that got blown away in Brooklyn a few years back. tell me their anti-Iran repressive gov’t big mouths – didn’t get them blown to smithereens. we never did hear how that ‘disgruntled’ band member got his hands on that big assault rifle, did we.
and of course the USA is right in there like a dirty shirt, make that a dirty pair of shit smeared underwear. natives of Bikini atoll, lend me your island for a weekend and $60 each. 60 years or so on, and it’s still not safe for the native sons – to return.
and what about JAPAN. damn, they got it coming and going, just like a used-up porn star. they got bombed, and then half a century later, they shot themselves in the nuclear ass, ok – foot. too.
so, what’s the coolest color this summer, or what ?
acid green light, and then like an collective empathy, a kind of ‘fellow-well-meet’ cosmic dusting, a small puppy brood – of fruit ‘loopy’ colors – of all neon hues, spins the art world, from . . NYC EVIE FALCI rhinestones – to LA. KB, better known on these pages as: ‘ain’t KARMA a BITCH’.
you know . . like, watermelon slices . . adorning Venus.
PHOTO: NANCY SMITH. NJ, AUG 2015.
I guess the neon radiance had been seeping in all summer, til it jumped right back at me, as I was bemoaning my sorry financial state, due to lowlife ‘Christianos’ Jersey City tenats not paying the rent, (yeah, karma is a bitch, tell me about it !!) and I caught the evil-green hue – shining as sickly magnetic radiation like morning-light on my vintage green glass, in a lower case window.
SADIE LASKA – at Marlborough Gallery on Broome St.
image via Instagram
no sooner do I go to post it, when what pops up before my very eyes: @SadieLaska’s green light spilling on figure. I’m dumb-struck. I feel like – Japan !! double whammy. T & T.
Trend-spotting & Telepathy – !! – I guess that should be . . T’NT !!
and it just keeps on . . rollin’.

TAYLOR McKIMENS Instagram feed – was the first . . to tip me off.
though truth be told, he was leaning in this direction . . in his recent NYC Indie show – produced by Paul Bright of Bright Lyons.
not to forget the scintillating summer sketches of NYC ex-pat MIKE PARE aka @easyjammer.
of course, getting back to . . WEIRD KARMA !!
nobody – escapes !!
ARTLOVERS FAN MAIL – from PACO, in WASHINGTON DC !! – image via Instagram
I GOT ‘FROOT-LOOPY’ FAN MAIL, inspired by the enemy: KB – ain’t KARMA A BITCH !!
boomeranged back at me – like a real sick banana – or what !!
OK: for the uninitiated, I have a top ten ‘user’ list,
and, coming in at the top 3 slots are:
KG, KB & BB – and, trust me – they know who they are !!
YEP, artlovers glows with the toxic light – too !!

‘AMY’, (2015) – a film by ASIF KAPADIA
FILM REVIEW by NANCY SMITH, AUGUST 4, 2015
yep, we DO eat our young.
AMY WINEHOUSE – A YOUNG TEEN ON SUMMER VACATION.
IMAGE VIA @amy_filmuk
AMY. a young teen on vacation, much as many of you are. talented. and with dreams as big and, as unknown – as that big summer sky.
no, no, no. it’s not just a “sad and depressing” story. it’s a powerful, fascinating document – an epic film painting a vivid, living 3-D portrait of an epic talent, an astonishing voice, an astonishing song writer, and an astonishing personality. Now playing to packed houses, at the Sunshine theater on Houston St. in NYC. and for good reason – it’s a powerful, powerful, soulful film composed entirely of archival footage, and the voices of the people who knew her, and above all . . her voice, dark and dusky, illuminating her shadowy lyrics, and her life. and all, up front, up close, and in the first person personal . . early home movie clips, archival media interviews, recording sessions, and performances. and, above all – her music, her big voice, her phrasing, her song writing – all deeply black magic – and absolutely hypnotizing . . on the soundtrack.
the first few frames of the films trailer summation-capture it all in a couple of e seconds: back to bbbblack. the brilliant musicality that rolls right out of her, like water off a duck’s back. natural talent – if you need a definition. that’s Amy.
I knew her dad was an ass-hole, and that he left the family when she was 9 years old, but in this film he actually says he ‘left’ the family way before that. he fell in love with another woman when Amy was at the ripe old age of 18 months, but he didn’t have the guts to leave until she was 9. so tell me why she keep saying “he was never there”, even when he was “there”.
tell me, we don’t eat our young. and of course the most talented, the most rare, the most brilliant are going to be – the most tragic victims.
no wonder evolution has us so dumbed-down, we can’t manage to parent the naturally numb-ed ones, let alone the ones that shine and . . divine, like the natural-born stars they are.
natural-born stars vs. natural born killers ?
I hate to say who wins the equation on this specific playing field.

oops, it’s summer !!
and you know, I’m thinking . . Christmas in July ?!!
while tomorrow, FRI JULY 31, 2015 . . . is the last day to catch . . JJ PEET downtown.
JJ PEET – MAGiCSTANCE
JUNE 17 – JULY 31, 2015
ON STELLAR RAYS – 1 RIVINGTON ST, LOWER EAST SIDE, NYC
more gallery info: on the show
PIX FROM THE OPENING – WED JUNE 17, 2015
On Stellar Rays, the sunny south side of Rivington, just literally a few steps west of the Bowery . .
open the doors, and up you go . . one flight of stairs.
JJ PEET, munching on HONEYCOMBS !!
we get ya, I think.
honeycombs are . . such an ‘mazing shape. natural technological wonder. futuristic and ancient, organic structure. but cereal ? so did we forget something ? cereal is supposed to be so ‘out’. and yet, eating them straight out of the box, never seemed so cool.
this guy can do . . NO WRONG IN MY BOOK.
even the Egyptians . . ate honey.
didn’t they find some thousand-year-old honey in a tomb, and wasn’t it still good, to eat ?
yes, yes and yes.
which brings us to the title of this show: ‘MAGiCSTANCE’ – !!
which refers to . . . “the idea that when a viewer is alert, aware, and attuned to a greater consciousness, unexpected connections and coincidences are more likely.”
and I would say from the subject matter – stay alert at all – times.
it’s scary – out there.
so, yeah. STAY – ALERT !! even without . . the ‘unexpected’ connections.
JJ PEET, ‘CLOWNEWS’, 2013.
ok, so this was the only piece with a ‘ceramic’ vessel, a hand-built ‘cup’ – in it. and although the clay cup was standard size, for JJ !! the piece, and actually – all the other pieces in the show – were actually kind of mini / nano in size – for what they actually were, which was wall- mounted multi-media sculptures – that posed many strange and wonderful objects against – the bad news of our cruel, nasty world as it turns, on its axis !! and pulls us along.
so, no.
clay potters – aren’t just artisans, who are good with their hands. and, no – they don’t have their heads – in the clay, I mean . . sand.
J PEET, ‘CLOWNEWS’, 2013. the title says it – all.
Stoneware, porcelain, cedar, copper, brass, and fabric.
7 x 12 x 4 in.
on the right, CANDANCE MADEY, founder-director of On Stellar Rays.
JJ PEET, ‘SHiELDNEWS’, 2015.
Porcelain, aluminum, c-print, rubber, fabric, plastic, and acrylic on panel.
25-1/4 x 11-1/2 x 6-1/2 in.
well, the title surely makes clear, what the narrative-type image does . . express.
it’s quite a wonderful little scenario.
I wonder if that little classic, storybook porcelain couple – is ‘found’ ?
whereas the figure on the left – is all i-m-a-g-i-n-a-t-i-on !! contrast.
free-form, STAR WARS !! KAWS ? X marks the KAWS ?
I love how that super creative blob – is animated.
it’s my favorite one single element in the whole entire show.
what’s even more currr-ious is how JJ PEET has NO animals in his works, except for the humans, of course. I mean the web, social media – is absolutely overrun by pets, esp cats and dogs.
it’s amazing – you can see even the most hunky of guys, and they’re posting the cutest videos of their little kitty-cat furballs ?!!
must be the – stress ?!!
damn, I like that. surface vs surface. matte vs shiny . . strange vs glossy.
likewise, with the smallest of details, and color ‘points’.
and then, the bad news . . kicks in.
just on the other side of that sunny day umbrella.
I was told that this exhibit was also very unique for JJ in that usually his ‘sculpture’ shows, as opposed to his pottery shows, are just all over the place – with pieces hanging from the ceiling, etc and free-standing etc, and I got the impression, somewhat chaotic – but this show was very precise, and just wall-mounted.
JJ PEET, ‘INFO’, 2013.
Porcelain, paper, pine, acrylic, and aluminum.
11-1/2 x 21 x 6 in.
as you can see, the element of ‘light’ – and, in particular . . ‘cast’ colored light – was also a big part of the design. beautiful. transparent light vs opaque clay. light ‘art’ vs bad news.
unglazed organic-shaped matte clay, reflective shiny flat acrylic, transient red ‘rays’.
very STAR WARS, or is that Mad Max ?
it’s certainly not Egyptian !!
love the tiny ‘red’ carpet !!
white-out, the classic retro industrial . . tipping point.
and so annoying, to use. you guys are so lucky, you have NO idea.
oh no, missing. the heart-breaker.
lost ? stolen ? tortured ?
alive ? dead ? hurt.
bad news, the white-out may as well be the stand-in for the (doomed) Twin Towers.
the beautiful intersects with the unthinkable.
new-age rays of industrial light vs ages-old hand-wrought raw porcelain.
with . . almost a battleship element, going on. trouble in a bottle.
industrial chic. matte terror.
surprisingly, there was also a large ‘painting’.
JJ PEET, ‘REPORT_CODE_1’, 2015.
Acrylic and ink on panel. 94 x 60 x 2-1/4 in.
it was full of strange code, glaze recipe code ? bio-code ?
but I’m pretty sure – this was a camera.
it was also very binary – in contrast !! starting with the black line vs the purple ‘haze’, the well delineated vs the sublime drop-off. strangely, not too much cartoon imagery, if any. nor pets !!
honeycomb – yes. pets – NO. not even birds.
suitcase – yes. where’s Waldo – NO.
the exhibit was under-stated, but made its point(s).
plastic (art 101 – surfaces, matte, shiny, etc) . . and, political/social commentary/content-wise.
JJ PEET, ‘INTO’, 2013.
Stoneware, photograph, pine, aluminum, acrylic, rope, and paint.
19 x 32 x 7 in.
this one was the most Mad Max, futuristic, and the most brutal, and also had that ‘raising the red flag’, of danger – red light.
I mean, gorgeous, in a nano – scale way, right ?
a very sweet harmony . . of contrasts.
almost . . a ‘song’. a theater-piece. a diorama.
this piece really rocked . . mini !!
right down to the ‘caution – orange’ .. beads. on a teeny tiny dollhouse clay plate, of course !!
I’m thinking . . binary code ?
offerings ? hospitality ? would you eat a ‘fruit’ from the hand of – this man ?
yin yang. good vs evil. Alice in Wonderland ?
so, not cool. evil.
it’s like our media culture got thrown back at us, revoltingly. not . . as in: rise & revolt.
inverse rag & bone society. twisted out.
pop culture – not. pulp fiction > not.
JJ PEET, ‘UPLiNK’, 2015.
Porcelain, ink, aluminum, granite, sealed form core, and black and white c-print.
31-3/4 x 18 x 24 in.
JJ PEET, made for contemplation.
JJ PEET, made in the USA.
shiny, conservative, sneaky, not preachy.
but, definitely . . messag-ing.
on point.

also making a big buzz, this summer . . . EVIE FALCI !!
EVIE FALCI – the rhinestone princess, I’m tempted to say, goddess – whatever !!
though funnie . . about BRENDAN MONROE at LITTLE CAKES, and EVIE FALCI at CAKE SHOP !!
the BIG APPLE must have a . . sweet tooth.
the poster invite for EVIE FALCI’S first solo show in NYC, at the music venue, CAKE SHOP – on the Lower East Side, NYC.
the show ran Jan 10 – 28, 2008.
now, – if that isn’t COSMIC – I don’t know . . what is !!
a very young EVIE FALCI . . at the opening.
yep, for sure. definite had her pegged for success, too.
EVIE FALCI, colored bead ‘mosaic’. she even showed some early compositions of her now signature, intricate, colored bead . . ‘mandelas’.
very tantric – to behold, indeed !!
and soooooo cutting edge, even now.
esp vs falling, sloppy seconds, wall-to-wall watermelon slices. ugh.
L.A. come on – give us a break. if, not a real !! . . break-dance !!
now, don’t get me wrong !!
I totally love, love, love her multi-colored pieces, but I esp love this black and white study, she showed at the time – mostly because of how . . well, ghostly – it is !!
but also because it looks like some crazy luminous tantric . . crochet !!
and yes, it’s made from craft ‘google’ – eyes.
if anybody can use simple craft ‘supplies’, and totally transform, and TRANSCEND their every-day DIY – it’s EVIE !!
EVIE FALCI, glow-in-the-dark, google eye, EYEBALL !!
on shaped canvas . . 14 x 12 in.
yep, I did manage to score a small piece from the show – and, I adore it.
because it transcends it’s ‘arts & crafts’ heritage, and because it is GLOW-IN-THE-DARK, and because it’s an . . . EYEBALL !!
eyeball, c’est . . . moi !!

and where you can find her newest work.
damn, do I love love love this, or what !!
kind-of a structured waterfall . . gorgeous !!
kind of a D.I.Y. – STELLA !!
kind-of a thinking person’s . . material ‘transcendence’.
abstract color-field, has never looked so good – since ERIK den BREE JEN, blew me away, and sill – does !!
I love ‘structure’ that has plastic ‘narrative’. and variance.
I love structure, that implodes . . . the i-m-a-g-i-n-a-t-i–on.
what can I say, I love ‘higher’ composition . . in my art.
art that sings – and then, runs – for it !!
in case you missed the link: EVIE FALCCI – website, go there !!
a great summer – breeze / browse !!
pss: w-a-t-e–r-m-e-l-o-n . . . alert.
okay, okay. lighten up !!
I guess it takes all kinds, if only to contrast the full spectrum !!
so, yeah put Evie to work on an exterior wall mural, too !! L.A. Venus.
but, the buildings got to be . . side-by-side.
falling sloppy melons vs tantric water fall.

I actually had a striking intersect . . with BRENDAN MONROE’S work, way back in the summer of 2008, when he and gf EVAH FAN . . . presented some solo pieces, and some collaborations, at Hanna Fushihara’s – Little Cakes. it was totally charming, way ahead of the curve – and I had them both pegged for big success.
the show interestingly enough was titled: ‘Bed and Breakfast’ – and, that was way before airb&b was even a thought form, let alone a phenom. that’s how fast – time f-l-i-e-s.
BRENDAN MONROE, EVAH FAN, and that’s HANNA FUSHIHARA with her back to us, at her Little Cakes gallery, merch / zine store, in the East Village, just before the visionary, alternative space was to flee the Big Apple, for the Real Apple countryside, upstate. June 8, 2008.
detail, ‘The Cook, the Thief, and the Pompost Kyle’ – a collaboration by BRENDAN MONROE and EVAH FAN – Little Cakes, NYC, JUNE 6, 2008
they had ‘nano’ down, before nano, as in ‘tech’ – was in circulation, either. in fact they had the world down, in a nutshell. like a squiggling worm on a fish hook, if you know what I mean. all the bio-warnings – were there.
BRENDAN MONROE, ‘Pollination’, 11 x 15.75 in. gouache on paper – Little Cakes, June 6, 2008.
it’s clear to see his blobs – had organic . . beginnings.
detail, EVAH FAN, ‘Field Study 1’ – Little Cakes, June 6, 2008
her little ‘storybook’ figures have evolved to be more graphic, and ‘tighter’, perhaps more dramatic ? and high contrast . . . but still storybook, and tiny.
the show was quite the hit on the alternative circuit . . . among many others:

the BLOB MAN . . . COMETH !!
BRENDAN MONROE . . . is the CINDERS ARTIST OF THE MONTH – for JUNE 2015.
aka brendantheblob – checking out his work, just seemed to come naturally, after looking into what . . LUKE MURPHY is up to.
like LUKE, BRENDAN MONROE also cultivates . . . “a taste for the scientific, math, physics, and the surreal“, but while Luke seems to be leaving us hints, stick men, and scribbled coded messages, that go deep into unconsciousness and ancient ‘systems’, Brendan seems to have left us far behind, and has serious traveled . . far off – the ‘bio’ deep end.
BRENDAN MOORE, ‘FIZZ’, acrylic on paper, 7 x 9.75 in., signed. unique.
($600)
Photo: CINDERS GALLERY
BORN in 1980, which makes him 35, a generation younger than Luke Murphy . . . Brendan Monroe was born in Santa Barbara, California, and currently works out of Oakland, California.
just so you know, he has 36.3 K followers on Instagram.
you can read an interview Cinders just published with him, here .. 20 Questions for Brendan Monroe
this is the BRENDAN MONROE limited edition letterpress print, edition of 50 – CINDERS just put out to mark Brendan Moore’s Cinders Club Haus show – for July, 2015.
not only does it boggle the imagination, but it has amazing colors, amazing color fade, and wonder-ous 3_D implications – on a purely formal ‘flat’ plane.
when I first saw the image, my response was: damn, the blob – is on FIRE !!
the letterpress print is 9 x 12 in., edition of 50, signed & numbered by the artist – and can be yours for: $50. please note there are ONLY 9 left in stock, so don’t blob, I mean .. blink !!
grab your cart, shoppers.
buy: Brendan Monroe Letterpress Print in the Cinders online store
this is is Brendan’s website: BRENDAN MOORE, so you can keep looking, . . and reading for – yourself.
though I can’t help remarking, since the current scene is SO absolutely swamped by hand-built pottery and clay, that even on that crowded playing field – Brendan Monnroe . . stands out:
