\"\"<\/a>
\nJESSE GREENBERG . . ‘plants’ his ‘totem pole’ in the ground.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJESSE GREENBERG’s . . totem pole, with accompanying plant ‘scaffolding’ – looking like a psychedelic tomato plant !! sprouting up, against the wild fields & open sky. this is how well it all<\/strong> played out.
\nthe synthetic materials looked awesome, luminous, with a light-filled color spectrum . . against the natural backdrop. fields of wild flowers ran crazy, old red barns stood the test of time, and further back: mountains.
\nfresh water creeks nearby \/
\nit was really fun to be out in the rural countryside & out of the city.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJESSE GREENBERG curated the art works – at the ‘HOT MUD FEST’\/ on-site & in the old white farmhouse.
\nthere were . . a lot of surprises.
\n& not surprisingly, job: well done !!<\/p>\n

Jesse has taken a break from the ‘stationary’ artist-run \/ gallery experience.
\nsee: his 247365 archives !! always the most excellent graphics, btw<\/a>
\nand now runs JAG<\/a> – his new ‘flexive arts program’ \/ ‘Hot Mud Fest’ – is the inaugural project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthis is DREW GILLESPIE, kind of the leader-of-the-pack of BOBO.
\nhe does most of their graphic design, posters, and the like.
\nBOBO . . is a 3 person artist collective, performance, rockin wild band.
\nthey started off in Philly, many years ago. and, maybe a decade+ ago I was lucky enough to back quite by random, into their very first band gig, in NYC.
\nit was downtown, the Lower East Side, I think it was the after party for some Film Festival ? it was some old NYC dive bar, with old creaky wooden floors, and it got so crowded, and so wild, everybody was jumping, up and down . . I don’t think I was the only one – who feared for the floor to collapse.
\nBOBO was dressed as . . 19th c.’newsies’, dirty faces, and all.
\nyep, got the pix !! – way back in the golden artlovers archives !! <\/p>\n

ps: that’s THOM PAYNE, behind . . Thom Payne co-hosted ‘Hot Mud Fest’ with NICK PAYNE, his son, & also of BOBO, on their Hudson County Spook Rock Farm.
\nit’s great place . . because it’s just in that crazy sweet place between falling apart – and getting a new life.
\nlots of old stuff and history e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDREW GILLESPIE . .
\ndesigned the ‘Hot Mud Fest’ logo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nTHOM PAYNE co-host, with JESSE GREENBERG.
\nthe old white farmhouse – was a classic.
\nuntouched by ‘renovation’ \/ with wild fields, old silent & now timeless barns, and fresh water swimming hole – creeks. it’s definite . . a nice day trip.
\nbring a picnic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPHIL COTE . . of BOBO.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPHIL COTE . . is somewhat behind-the-scenes, but he’s in there, like a dirty shirt.
\nhere at ‘Hot Mud Fest’, he did something probably unheralded, but amazing \/ he cleaned up this barn . . like it was born again, to showcase this tripping-the-light-fantastic, hanging, oversize, resinous – jelly, transparent blob \/ molded \/ gooey green ‘lit’ piece by . . AMY BRENER !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nso day tripper that I<\/strong> am – I didn’t get NICK PAYNE’s photo, I was too busy chatting him up !!
\nso his work, is going to have to stand in.
\nnot a bad deal, all in all. the lighting wasn’t perfect, but I didn’t want to photo-shop it.
\nI mean, look at that awesome random pink light, on the floor to the left.
\nit’s kind of muted in reality, off-primary \/ colors. looks to be oil or chalk pastels ?
\ngo see it, for yourself.
\nit was way more on the ‘lowdown’, and quite humble. compared to that all-out \/ powerfully Freudian . . show he had a year or so back, at Greenpoint Terminal. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNICK had 2 pastels in the farmhouse \/ one was a set of nesting ? birds ? doves ?
\na little charged . . . domination ?!!
\nor is that . . mating.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nthe other, hung in the kitchen, was a kind of throw-back \/ Pennsylvania Dutch, farmer boy and farmer girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNICK PAYNE.
\nPennsylvania Dutch, ha.. it got more than a little wild, if you looked closely.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nHALEY JOSEPHS and CRISTINA BOLT – at ‘Hot Mud Fest’.
\nspeaking of Farmer girl, Nick Payne’s gf Christina Bolt, was also a co-host of the ‘Hot Mud Fest’ . .
\nand she was one of the the biggest<\/strong> surprises, because even though she’s been around the BOBO crew for almost 7+ years, this is the FIRST time she is showing her OWN work.
\nmaybe . . there’s a reason, in every season.
\nbecause this was – most def the right place & time. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCHRISTINA BOLT \/ ceramic garden, ‘HOT MUD FEST’ \/ artwork curated by JESSE GREENBERG \/ JAG.
\nPorcelain, ceramic glazes & mixed media<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCHRISTINA BOLT.
\nclay vase, is not<\/strong> the end of it.
\nmore like, strange snail ?
\nor . . insect-eating plant ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCHRISTINA BOLT. in the round, 3D in a field. of clay, of earth, but definitely . . taking off !! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nCHRISTINA BOLT . . a most wonderous, clay Alice in NYC wonderland \/ on-site garden.<\/p>\n

CHRISTINA, Christina \/ how does<\/em> – your garden . . grow ?
\nA: porcelain, ceramic glaze & mixed media !!<\/p>\n

more pix to post, shortly.<\/p>\n
