"Bye Bye Skyline"

Ian Reid

This Is The Home Of The New Nets Stadium In Brooklyn.. 2007

Ian Reid is a photographer born and raised in the heart of Brooklyn, NY. Though his subject matter isn’t exclusively the borough of Brooklyn, I would go so far to say, his camera speaks for Brooklyn and Brooklynites. His images border on surreal. It feels like they are not really photos but images plucked from my own memory. An idealized version of the New York and Brooklyn I grew up in.

Today's work "Common" by Robert Hodge

Robert Hodge was born in raised in Houston, Texas and grew up in the historical 3rd Ward community. He went to the Performing Visuals Arts High School, and left Houston to attend Pratt In New York and Atlanta College of Art before returning home to continue working. Hodge is acknowledged for his style, but his topics are issues of humanity, politics, music icons and whatever he feels needs to be addressed. Hodge says “I never want to be put in a box. Things that effect me or interest me in certain periods of my life, hopefully relates to others as well. As I grow, hopefully people who follow my work grow with me.” Hodge was the recipient of the emerging artist grant from The Houston Arts Alliance in 2008, and won “Best of Show” from the Museum of Fine Arts 5A in 2007.

"Barack Obama" At the Gallery

Any first year art history student can tell you that two of the biggest influences on an art work and its artist are the political and social environment of the time. Then in true symbiosis the art and artist spark the public contentiousness thereby effecting that sociopolitical climate. This rule has not been more obviously illustrated than it has in the last year with the nomination and election of Barack Obama.

On sat January 17, the sat prior to inauguration day, I attend "Barack Obama" a collection of portraits by: Rico Anderson, John M Graham, Jean Patrick Icart Pierre, Nandi Icart Pierre, Jean Dominique Volcy at The Gallery. Exotic Homes and Gardens on Atlantic ave in Brooklyn has been clearing there show room once a month and hosting art exhibitions.

My initial excitement to attend this event was its location. The even was held in the heart of the Bedford- Stuyvesant Section of Brooklyn were I grew up. The ides that gentrification of my neighborhood, best known for Biggie songs and Spike Lee movies, had finally brought art community filled me a since of elation. This was a non-reality to me growing up but then so was the election of an African-American President. I happily ventured out into the single degree temperatures to attend this opening and I was not disappointed.

The exhibition of Barack Obama portraits reflected the emotional connection that people have for this president. This collection of paper and pencil; oil and canvas; told a story of reverence,hope and great expectations for a new leader.

"Barack Obama"

On display at The Gallery @ Exotic Homes Gardens through February 28, 2009

Holiday Hiadous : Xmas 2008

2009-01-14T14:35:00.014-05:00

Holiday Hiadous

The new year is not so new any more and art openings and viewing are on the come back.

Over the holiday season I had the pleasure of attending Holiday Party Number One at the Melanie Flood Projects viewing space as well as "The Dinner Table" at The Brooklyn Museum of Art.

Holiday Party Number One was lively and festive gathering of artists and art enthusiasts. Twenty artist, many of whom were showcased at MFP since its September opening, gathered to mingle with their patrons and sell books and printed matter. Revelers nibbled fresh baked cookies and sipped on delicious spiked eggnog while engaged in discussions on art and politics. Occasionally someone would stop to admire Melanie Floods large pine tree and its eclectic and avant-garde ornaments. Melanie Flood Projects, and its modern art-forward decor, is the home of New York photographer Melanie Flood. This cozy setting severed to heighten the holiday experience.

"The Dinner Party" by Judy Chicago was , for lack of a more fitting word, a fiesta. The triangular banquet table, with an open center, featured thirty nine place settings each representing a woman in history. The table sat on a platform. The platform on which 999 others names were inscribed. Each name on the platform , or heritage floor, correspondence to the woman featured in the nearest place setting. Each plate in the piece could quite easily stand on its own as a grate work of art. However the combination of these thirty-nine plates, table settings, heritage floor and staging by the BMoA was awe inspiring.This attention to detail and total experiences by the viewer was wonderful. This artistic journey of women thought out known time was mentally and visually simulating and truly requires at least an hour to peruse and absorb.

If you cant make it to the Brooklyn Museum of Art I suggest you take the virtual tour of "The Dinner Party" .

Wisdom From Trish

2008-12-26T01:05:00.002-05:00

Most people who create a separate world in their own minds are called crazy but those of them of them who can express that world to others are called artists.

"Top of the Line" At the Showroom Gallery

2008-12-09T23:02:00.006-05:00

I recently had the pleasure of attending "Top of the Line" At the Showroom Gallery

Showroom is a small, second floor walk up, two room gallery in NYC's East Village. Its nondescript entrance sandwiched between a Chinese food restaurant and a bakery would never draw the accidental foot traffic of the dreaded New York City tourist. Instead, this oasis of urban art, is frequented by those in the know and true urban art enthusiasts.

The current show, 'Top of the Line,' features urban art veterans Futura, Cope2, Sharp, Shepard Fairey, FaFi, Silolette, Revok, Can2 and Ron English.

Opening Night was a standing room only mash of bodies. Each person trying to maneuver and bob around heads to see each piece . Though it was not hard to find stimulating and informed conversation on the work, it was hard to finish a sentence without someone requesting to get by.

I would recommend Showroom's exhibitions as a must see, but would not suggest you see them on opening night.
