JOHN HODANY, MICHAEL LAZARUS & CAETANO de ALMEIDA
\nFEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 16, 2008
\nELEVEN RIVINGTON – 11 RIVINGTON ST – LOWER EAST SIDE – NYC
\nJUST WEST OF BOWERY <\/p>\n

Our friend JOHN HODANY is in this 3 person show, the 4th show in this new space run by Director\/Curator AUGUSTO ARBIZO. (we’re guessing the space has serious ties to – and – backing from JEANNE GREENBERG – but Augusto isn’t talking – except – to say – “no strings attached” – and we’re like – hey: give a hand to the backers – no matter who they are! we all<\/em> need all the backers we can get – in this crazy artworld.)<\/p>\n

\nwe catch up with JOHN HODANY, he’s outside taking a ciggie break. with him, to the side, ANNA CONWAY<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nHODANY’S piece was hard to photograph in the room – it was so large – a totally handmade amusement park-type quarter-eating treasure hunting game.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nthese formally attired guests give some sense of its scale. JOHN HODANY made it all from wood – except the metal parts on the hardware, like bolts, and the security lock arches, for example – & – he also made all the mechanical inner workings. it runs on electricity. it’s timed to have on and off phases.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY – the red ‘lobster’ claws come down to grab the ‘treasure’ which is a wide assortment of locks !! <\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY – the locks !! <\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY – the paint job, on the wooden locks and the wooden sculpture, itself – as a whole – was every bit as good, if not better than the woodworking & mechanical workings – most of the time you thought you were looking at metal – until you picked up on actual<\/em> metal pieces – as in the lock arches.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY – an example of the ‘very swift’ paint job and the place where the quarters go – & – the joy stick. it was interactive – for real.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY lightens up a little bit, towards the end of the opening, ANNA CONWAY is with him.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nthe man who introduced us to JOHN HODANY – BRIAN BELOTT, with ANNIE PEARLMAN. BRIAN BELOTT’S gotta piece in the big MoMA Spring 2008 show about Books on Shelves !!<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\ndocumentary filmmaker MAX FIERST and artist JEFF CARAMAGNA, good friends of JOHN HODANY’S <\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nERIN<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nANNIE PEARLMAN, in a pensive moment. Annie edited that classic DAVID GREENBERG INTERVIEWS BRIAN BELOTT (at CANADA) clip – we all loved so much !!<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nCHIE FUEKI – the more we cross paths with her – the more we like her – she’s wild.<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\noh oh – the-after-the-after party at that German Bar on Rivington St .- some pretty wild rolling and rumbling around on the street – these guys are super fun to hang out with. P-A-R-T-Y !!<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY – says: cool it – what ?- he started it !!!<\/p>\n

\"Hodany
\nJOHN HODANY and MAX FIERST – who knew a night on RIVINGTON ST – in the middle of the week on a Tuesday no less, in the almost now totally gentrified Lower East Side – could be almost as rowdy as back in the old days – back in the rockin’ 80s – when BASQUIAT & RICHARD HAMBELTON used to tear up that very same street !! P-A-R-T-A-Y !! – S.P.O.O.K.A.Y !!
