GO ANUS!

Last Friday, Cecilia and I went to an art show in DUMBO where are friends from Domestic Construction were showing some work. It was held at the Gowanus Ballroom. We like to refer to it as "GO! Anus!" Unfortunately we showed up a bit to early so there weren't many people there. Regardless it was an awesom























e show.

Accompanied By Nuns

Last night some friends and I went to an art show at The Convent of Saint Cecilia in Greenpoint. It's run by a priest who apparently has an appreciation for the art community. Every room had an istallation by a different artist. Around 50+ artists.
The space itself is amazing and quite large. Strange to think that at one point, nuns lived there!
I wish I had taken note of which artists did what pieces, but it's hard to take pictures, drink beer AND take notes!

Monday = Grass & Dirt

I went with Cecilia today to the Live with Animals Gallery space to help her take down an installation that she and a few other people had up for a while now. It was a lot of work, dirt, and exhaustion. It also happened to be a lot of fun!!! Afterwards we headed over to Enids for burgers and beers with Bret. We basically looked and probably smelled like a couple of construction workers. It didn't help that on our way home it began pouring rain. I guess it was natures way of saying we needed to take showers!
Here are some photos of the installation and us taking it down.


Paper shingle hut with video projection inside.



Flowers made out of paper.







An entire house was built inside the gallery for the show. (A small house.)




Large paper flowers on the side of the house that had video projected on them.



Taking stuff down.



Bags and bags of sod that carpeted most of the gallery.




Jumping around like a crazy person is very necessary when you are already completely dirty and sweaty!!!




On the way there and on the way home I took my usual photos of things that catch my eye: graffiti, art, nonsense, etc...
It's funny how I rarely take pictures of people, mostly just objects. Objects always seem to take great candid photos without even meaning to. Plus my camera is too damn slow to catch anything living off guard!
