‘OUTSIDERS NY’ – 282 BOWERY – just off HOUSTON
\nthe BRIT-based LAZARIDES GALLERY – STREET ART – NYC POP-UP SHOW
\n2 WEEKS ONLY !! SEPT 26 – OCT 12, 2008 !!
\nHRS: OPEN DAILY 11am – 7pm<\/p>\n

first off, the gallery isn’t based in London, per se – it’s in NEWCASTLE. second, not all the artists are Brits either, BAST seems to be based in BROOKLYN, JR is from France, and CONOR HARRINGTON hails from CORK, IRELAND. MARK JENKINS is a native of WASHINGTON, DC and TODD JAMES aka REAS is a BROOKLYN native who lives and works in NYC.<\/p>\n

one of the best aspects of the installation is its lighting quick rough and ready, get in there & get out – conversion of a BOWERY trademark – RESTAURANT\/KITCHEN\/CHAIR SUPPLY STORE – to a guerilla exhibition space – that harks back – to the good ole days – of the wild ROGUE pop-up shows of the 80’s, before the term ‘POP-up’ existed !! They did a damn good job – of leaving the space really raw and yet: functioning as a great showcase for their brand of art. The Lazarides take on street art seems to be heavily leaning on the dark side – and the genre’s statesmen; nothing wrong with that, just an observation, (and there are several contradictions to this statement in the show, i.e. the pop graphics of TODD JAMES & the youthful visions of CONOR HARRINGTON !!) as opposed to, say the current, and slightly<\/em> more ahead-of-the-curve = pop graphic street art show show: ‘4 GEEZERS: LONDON POLICE, FLYING FORTRESS, PEZ & EINE’ – curated by ANDREW MICHAEL FORD at BROOKLYN’S own AD HOC GALLERY.<\/p>\n

‘4 GEEZERS: LONDON POLICE, FLYING FORTRESS, PEZ & EINE’ – SEPT 12-OCT 12, 2008

. . . that being said – the opening was a blast – !! – fueled by an open BELVEDERE bar. ‘OUTSIDERS NY’ – is a very very interesting and large survey show, with a wide range – the work was great !! – and looked fantastic – in the hit and run environment. <\/p>\n
