CARL WEATHERS rides the PATH train – heading back into the city. New York City.
PHOTO: NANCY SMITH, April 3, 2012
. . . I first met CARL WEATHERS at EASTERN DISTRICT, Public School did several shows there when the space first opened. Carl is ‘family’ with the cutting edge fashion group – he’s related to one of the head designers, I’m thinking . . . MAXWELL OSBOURNE.
Public School / Black Apple were founded by menswear designers DAO-YI CHOW and MAXWELL OSBOURNE. Public School apparently became their hi-end brand, and Black Apple is more the off-the-rack, diffusion line.
DAO-YI CHOW and MAXWELL OSBOURNE talk about how the company(s) got started and then evolved – in this video link, below. if you’re quick enough you can catch a few early pix of . . . MICHAEL CABRERA, EASTERN DISTRICT’S founder and Creative Director. . . in the mix.
this might help: EASTERN DISTRICT’S bit of a blog (!!)

note: artist JUAN DOE wore that V for Vendetta ‘mask’, which also scored press during OWS – at his MARCH 2009 solo show at EASTERN DISTRICT … but it doesn’t quite look to be him modelling it – in this fashion forward (!!) video. (have to get back to you on that !!)

so, apparently his pitch to take over the world, or at least New York City, was a pop-up bubble in a pop-in kinda gallery – thing & by the time I strolled by – it was over. I was told the huge bubbles his pedal-powered bike-like contraption generated – wafted over the nearby High Line. well bubbles, better than cranes bearing 3 ton locomotives . . . is all I can say. the Empire State building to the mid-north was lit up like an Easter egg – definite the way to go. I also caught a glimpse of the BLACK LABEL tall bike crew tooling around Chelsea, terrorizing traffic, no brakes, dude, with SADUE in the lead, thick hardcore bad white boy Rastafarian locks flying back, in the light nighttime breeze coming off the Hudson River.
see: the FAMILY BUSINESS PRESS RELEASE regarding TIM’S “Plot for WORLD DOMINATION” and a cool photo of a bonafide Amish family using his pedal-powered butter maker !! Tim apparently hails originally from TEXAS. wouldn’t you just know it !!

‘FOLIO’ by 2-UP – OPENING TODAY – SAT APRIL 7, 2012 / 6-8PM
the show runs: APRIL 7 – 29, 2012
SOLOWAY – 348 SOUTH 4th ST – BROOKLYN
HRS: Saturday and Sunday, 12-5PM
SOLOWAY presents ‘FOLIO’ – an exhibition by the group 2-UP.
from the press release:
Over the past few years 2-UP has produced a series of poster publications. This will be the first group exhibition of the individual members’ work in a gallery space. The exhibition is structured in 2 parts: a free newspaper that dissembles into 7 double-sided posters, and corresponding works in the gallery.
Each participant has been given a 2-page spread of the newspaper publication. The only constraint beyond the format of the page is that each contribution exists in some relation to objects exhibited or events taking place at SOLOWAY. They may predict, document, or become materially incorporated into works in the gallery. In addition to the opening and gallery exhibition – there will be a closing event with readings and performances.
2-UP was formed in February 2010 as a cross-disciplinary group of artists working in visual arts, curating and writing. For each edition, 2-UP pairs 2 members to produce a double-sided poster, packaged in sets of 2. All of 2-UP’s activities are entirely funded by its members. 2-UP is currently participating in the Millennium Magazines exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. In addition, a survey of posters ‘This is 2-UP’, is on view at the Bowery poetry club, curated by SUE SCOTT.
Members of 2-UP participating in the exhibition are: COLLEEN ASPER, MATTHEA HARVEY, CHRISTIAN HAWKEY, CATHY PARK HONG, ZEREK KEMPF, BENJAMIN KRESS, NATHAN LEE, PAUL LEGAULT, JEN LIU, MORES McWREATH, ADAM SHECTER, JOE WINTER, and MONIKA ZARZECZNA.

artist/photographer KEVIN KAY on the streets of Chelsea, New York City . . . April 4, 2012.
PHOTO: NANCY SMITH
first of all, congrats to KEVIN and his wife, SASHA on the birth of their first child, a baby girl, CAMILLE LUCIA, now approaching 3 months.
a native New Yorker, KEVIN was born in Brooklyn in 1974, and that is also where he currently works and lives. A self-described “urban hunter and gatherer” his work combines photography, video, painting, and found objects, with the end result quite haunting and mysterious, or as his website puts it: “a glimpse of an ephemeral world often described as . . from another world.” His camera of choice is an old Polaroid SLR 680, which was in common use in the early 80s. He often uses expired Polaroid film, though that might be the only option today ?
o.k. a little more info on that !!
KEVIN relates that he has a stock of expired Polaroid film, and that “he is constantly buying it from various different sources when it comes up.” He also has about 150 (!!) Polaroid cameras in his possession. Kevin notes that you can buy (fresh) ‘Polaroid’ film from the impossible project,NYC. Polaroid no longer makes film, but impossible “took over where they left off” . . . but, he prefers to use the older stock, for it’s ‘accidental’ ambience, and color effects.
KEVIN KAY has exhibited his work, in the US and abroad, most recently at the AIPAD Photography show in NY, and in ‘Food For Thought’ at the ROBERT MANN GALLERY, NYC.
you can check out, a sampling of his portfolio, here: kevkay.com
He has a wonderful, drop-dead sensual !! very haunting, very lyrical, very poetic, very color ‘play’ intense – 3 piece Polaroid work – in the upcoming BAM 2012 BENEFIT SILENT ART AUCTION, which commences next week, APRIL 11th, with the online bidding ending April 22, 2012 at 6 PM.
BETH RUDIN DeWOODY is this year’s honorary curator.

MICHAEL SCOGGINS WILL CONDUCT A SHORT TALK FOLLOWED BY A Q&A ON HIS SHOW,
‘Michael L. Scoggins: US AGAINST THEM (The War Between the Classes)’
to-nite WED APRIL 4, 2012 starting at 6:30 PM
the show runs thru this SAT APRIL 7, 2012 – so this is a good chance to come see it – before it comes down.
FREIGHT + VOLUME – 530 WEST 24th ST – CHELSEA
NOTE: read that title again !! this is all about the war between the classes – the haves and have-nots !! not a war between the USA and anybody else. ok, got that ? though there seems to be some kind of referencing to the ‘red commies’ – so, I’m gonna ask him about that – to-nite !!
yeah, we know we are a war-like country. we’re also a war-like peoples !! plural, global. nobody escapes the ancient hard-wired survival genes, esp as some of us never got past the greedy lying sociopath sub-primal ones, aunt piggy – anybody ?
I know I got one – in my family !! ha.
you can see: a nice selection of works from the installation plus artist background & theory, here.
MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Red Sonja’, 2012. marker on paper, 84 x 66 in.
MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘America’s Favorite Drawing’, 2012. graphite, marker, prismacolor on paper. 67 x 51 in.
BTW:
that’s a very heavy-duty over-size roll of paper, he works on. not the everyday ordinary thin stuff you have on your desk, ha. that’s part of the illusion. part of the Scoggins – game plan. check out those dimensions, again: 67 x 51 in. which translates as: 5 ft. 7 in. x 4 ft. 3 in.
see: they have a nice run of gallery installation shots – on the website. – which makes that clearer !! the works are definite: 3D – as in sculptural !!
ABOVE IMAGES: COURTESY FREIGHT + VOLUME
a good-natured MICHAEL SCOGGINS gave a brief talk at his show, which is doing quite well, bye the way – this past Wednesday, April 4, 2012.
he is standing in front of his piece, ‘I Am A Man’, 2012.
MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘I Am A Man’, 2012. graphite and prismacolor on (torn) paper, 22 x 51 in.
MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Who’s on Top?’ 2012. marker, graphite, prismacolor on paper. dimensions vary as to how you decide to exhibit it. ($9,000. for the 2 pieces)
he began his talk emphasizing that his issue is with the fat cat corporate or ‘big daddy’ power trippers who are behind all conflicts – exploiting and dividing the masses around globe – who bear the brunt, and fight the wars (!!) of these eat’em up and throw them a bone once in a while – cutthroat dominators . . . MICHAEL said he grew up in the cold war decade – so that explains the ‘commie’ reference. it was pretty clear that there was a lot of thought behind the images, which therefore radiated a visual power beyond their child-like surface scribble. He also said he was aiming for a more ‘minimalist’ field in the work, itself – on a purely plastic or compositional level. mission accomplished.
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Who’s on Top?’
he also spoke a bit about how and when, in grad school, the lightbulb went off in his head to blow-up his notebook sketches . . . which sketches, as well as the seeds of all kinds of ideas, apparently he does non-stop, and has done so, ever since childhood.
he explained how he first makes several batches of the ‘sheets’ of lined ‘notebook’ or blank ‘sketchbook’ paper in his studio, cutting them from big rolls, and then carefully blue ‘lining’ the notebook or binder-like sheets, and cutting out the margin holes, etc, and then he works on the compositions. he also manipulates and bends the sheets in various corners, or other selected ways to further enhance the illusion of a ‘ruled’ notebook or blank sketchbook – page.
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Who’s on Top?’
in this show, he also ‘tore’ the sheets to resemble ‘scraps’ of paper, and in this case. most engagingly: flags.
one fun fact he re-counted was that his mother, who was an artist, saved all his childhood drawings, so he can still go back and consult with his younger self !!
and, yes he was into comics. in fact that’s where he thought he was heading when he was younger – to life as a comic book artist. (!!)
HANNAH HINDS stands beside a full page MICHAEL SCOGGINS’S piece – ‘Art is a Weapon’. (!!)
the piece is dated 2011, graphite and prismacolor on paper, 67 x 51 in.
($12,000.)
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Art is a Weapon’, get it ?
MICHAEL SCOGGINS with long time pal, and now wife, artist ALEX GINGROW. MICHAEL and ALEX both have advanced academic connections to the prestigious Savannah College of Art and Design, Georgia.
behind them: MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Long Live the King!’, 2011. graphite, marker and prismacolor on paper, 67 x 51 in.
you can see Alex’s work, here: alex gingrow
and, YES, it friggin’ rocks !! – check it out !!
in the middle room: at left, a large wall-sized installation of smaller individually hand-colored silk screened pieces (ranging in scale/individual prices: $50, $75 & $150) that are adhered to the wall with velcro – titled ‘War is Good’, 2012 – and – the less politically charged work, maybe !! – at right, titled ‘Explosion Drawing #1’, 2012. marker and prismacolor om paper, 67 x 51 in.
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Explosion Drawing #1’.
note: how well he does the uniform paper ‘margin’ holes, and the ‘torn’ chads from where the paper ‘was torn out of the book’ – it’s easy to overlook that precision as you encounter the visual compositions . . . but this precision mimic-ing of torn paper, almost puts him into the class of sculptor, in my book !!
it’s also interesting to pause a moment and contrast the precision production – to the child-like lettering and draftsmanship – to the grown-up thoughts.
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Explosion Drawing #1’.
detail, MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Explosion Drawing #1’.
MANDY, AMANDA JOY BROWN, beside one of my fav pieces in the show, and I just don’t know why – but it rocks and rolls !! so drop dead funny, totally droll, and against the grain, I guess. really nice off-the-usual-color-chart hue, dead-on composition, and authentic format too. MONOPOLY !!
MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘Know Your Place’, 2012. marker and prismacolor on paper. 51 x 67 in.
originally from Texas, and visiting from Savannah, Georgia, you can catch AMANDA JOY BROWN, here: amandajoybrown.wordpress.com
we’ll give the last word to: MICHAEL SCOGGINS, ‘All-American Family XVII’, 2012. crayon and prismacolor on paper, 67 x 51 in. which hangs over the gallery’s front desk.
the back story: after Michael produced a series of tongue-in-cheek, see below, diverse (!!) American family portraits, circa 2007 – with him, stuck into the ‘inclusive’ groupings – collectors began to commission him to paint portraits of their real families. and yep, that is Michael aloft in the little plane. looks like his game plan, took off – in all respects.
a page from the past: MICHAEL SCOGGINS and his ‘integrated’ family !! and yeah, he’s the blondie !!

CoWorker Projects Presents Works – by NICHOLAS STEINDORF
TUESDAY – APRIL 3, 2012: 7PM to MIDNITE
at ENTWINE – 765 WASHINGTON ST – btw WEST/10th ST & GREENWICH ST, just south of W12th, WEST VILLAGE, NYC
see: map
A PRESENTATION of selected videos, including Superstition, Hey Jude, 52, and How to Disappear.
from the CoWorker press release:
STEINDORF’S videos make use of accessible subject matter to eliminate complicated signs and ask the audience to enter and ponder what happens inside it. The superficial qualities of these works disorient the viewer from the original image – encouraging further analysis and examination emphasizing experience through image, time, and formal experimentation. This selection of videos oscillate between recognizable pictures and abstractions.
NICHOLAS received his BFA from Columbia College in Chicago in 2009 and he currently resides and works out of Brooklyn, NY. His work appeared in various group exhibitions over the past five years including EX (International Arts Movement, NY, 2012), Sans (Co-Prosperity Sphere, Chicago, 2012), Collection (The Arcade, Chicago, 2011), Indestructible Youth (Kunz Vis Projects, Chicago, 2010), Frame (C33 Gallery, Chicago, 2010), Regeneration (New York Center for Art and Media Studies, NY, 2010), and Venice Biennial Workshop Ancillary Exhibition (Venice, Italy, 2009).
CoWorker Projects is . . . the creation of former co-workers and friends YULIA TOPCHIY (a partner at Entwine) and JESSICA SAIN who previously worked alongside each other at GOFF+ROSENTHAL GALLERY and Entwine in New York City. CoWorker Projects find them co-working again to show weekly art videos in the downstairs lounge at Entwine, a full bar in the heart of the West Village.
The artists and the videos change weekly.
YES !!
I WENT TO THE OPENING & HAD A GREAT GREAT TIME. THE SHORT CLIP – VIDEOS WERE GREAT. THE SOUNDTRACKS WERE EERIE & AWESOME, TOO. PLUS, SOMETIMES IT’S JUST REALLY NICE TO LEAVE THE ‘TABLOID’ WORLD BEHIND & REACH FOR THE REALM of PURE ART, PURE VISION. PURE COLOR.
PLUS DOWNTOWN, SERIOUSLY WEST-SIDE WASHINGTON ST. – IS SO FUN – IT’S LIKE A CLUBBY BROOKLYN in MANHATTAN, NICE & EASY ON THE WEARY MIND.
OPENING NITE PIX – NICHOLAS STEINDORF – SHORT VIDEO CLIPS / Presented by CoWorker Projects – at ENTWINE, NYC. APRIL 3, 2012
JEREMY ALLEN of vogue.com, KATE CERIGO, graphic designer currently working at vogue.com, and on the right: NICHOLAS STEINDORF.

coworker is such a ‘hot’ button word these days !!
as in . . MEGA MYSTERY: She says she’s got the winning MEGA MILLIONS ticket. Co-workers say she’s cheating them.
so much for office lottery pools.
MICHAEL FLEMING, who with his brother ALAN – are known as the FLEMING TWINS – a collaborating art duo, are also now based in New York.
They meet up with Nicholas at a residency called ACRE in Steuben, Wisconsin – last August 2011.
They currently have work up in an exhibit titled: ‘Game-On: SOLO’ at threewalls, a gallery space in Chicago, March 9 – April 20, 2012.

you can see her own work, here: MARISSA PEREL
MARISSA PEREL, under that huge black shawl . . .
a drop-dead great temporary tattoo she acquired at the recent HENNESSEY YOUNGMAN curated – at FAMILY BUSINESS GALLERY opening !! FAMILY BUSINESS GALLEY, oft referred to on the street as the CATTALAN FAMILY BUSINESS GALLERY, (!!) is a pop-up space in the ANNA KUSTER GALLERY on W. 21 St just below 10th Av – operated by those fun guys: MAURIZIO CATTELAN and MASSIMILIANO GIONI.
see: FAMILY BUSINESS GALLERY
there’s some good, super lively coverage of the space on: what we like (!!)
p.s. more info on Marissa’s temporary tattoo.
it’s an art project that was conceived and carried out by CHRIS GOLAS, an artist working out of PHILLY (!!).
He also coordinated the Indian Food Truck and the spotlights . . .
JOSHUA RAYNER. we had a spirited discussion on the pros and cons of the proposed ‘hanging’ of the JEFF KOONS life-sized replica locomotion near the High Line. he’s all for it. and yes, he did make me re-think my position, a bit !! I dunno, maybe it’s a guy thing.
Joshua Rayner is currently a Post-Baccalaureate Fellow at the New York Center for Art and Media Studies.
you can see his work at: JOSHUA RAYNER
. . . the comfy downstairs lounge at ENTWINE, where CoWorker is presenting their pop-up video series . . . with the NICHOLAS STEINDORF clips – being the first to be shown, that were made by a New York City-based artist.
NICHOLAS STEINDORF, ‘Superstition’, 2011.
NICHOLAS STEINDORF, ‘Hey Jude’, 2011
it kind of looked like an eyeball and a clock, with a tiny futuristic spaceship, here at center left, hugging the rim, as it travels around the orb. metaphors for space, time, travel, the human condition, and comparative scales – come to mind.
all the while accompanied by an eerie, yet subtle spaceship-like ‘white’ noise.
