\nNATE LOWMAN & LEO FITZPATRICK, COLLECTIVE HARDWARE, LOWER EAST SIDE. MARCH 8, 2009<\/p>\n

. . . we scored that photo of NATE & LEO, at COLLECTIVE HARDWARE – at a ‘little’ party ERIK FOSS threw to close SCOPE during ART FAIR WEEK. COLLECTIVE HARDWARE – 169 Broadway – is kind of a multi-service building – that aims to serve up art, music and film events. It’s kind of like a newborn deer trying to get up on its feet, some of it works, some of it’s wobbly, and some of its completely unknown – and … let’s see what happens !!<\/p>\n

\njust as we leave – we catch ALEX ARCADIA – our fellow veteran of the late 90’s JOSH HARRIS\/PSEUDO crew – he made the awesome ‘Meditation’ temple featured in the film – ‘WE LIVE IN PUBLIC’ – the ONDI TIMONER\/Interloper Films bio on JOSH HARRIS – dot-com visionary and art party thrower non pareil – that had its NYC premiere at MOMA last weekend.
\n‘WE LIVE IN PUBLIC’ won the Grand Jury award for Documentary at this year’s (2009) SUNDANCE.
\nJOSH HARRIS’ million dollar+ MILLENNIUM PARTY – the legendary ‘QUIET’ !! – (also in a 5 story warehouse downtown – with many widely ranging & diverse ‘underground’ artist\/participants) was the ‘grandfather’ to this nascent ‘COLLECTIVE HARDWARE’ model – except for one really important detail, now missing, – and that was the man himself – JOSH HARRIS – his eye for raw talent – and his willingness to throw his dot-com mega bucks – and big-time – to fuel it !! well, in the face of the new Depression, in stark contrast to the dot-com circus days – you gotta hope COLLECTIVE HARDWARE – can help keep the faith !! <\/p>\n
