BOS2013 Weekend!

BOS2013 rocked! The weekend ended for us with the block party at Troutman and Scott, but the good memories from this year's Bushwick studio tour will roll on through the year, no doubt. The Society for the Prevention of Creative Obsolescence debuted at the 411 Brooklyn Fire Proof studio. Shane's wall painting was a game changer. I got to spend a couple hours there on Sunday, and the walk-thru traffic was consistent and strong, the crowds diverse and friendly. Most of the time I was situated at SLAG, which was swamped with guests both days. The timing of BOS2013 was perfect, relative to the "DIM TIM" exhibition. Many folks, like Eric Leiser, who weren't able to make the opening last weekend, visited during the tour. BOLD JEZ successfully launched the Novad Library at the entrance to Good Faith Space/STK (722 Metropolitan) on Saturday afternoon. Wilson Novitzki, whose "RELIABILITY" opens Monday, 6-3, dropped by to finish installing his photo exhibit, but took a little time to play a tune on BOLD JEZ's famed ukelele, while enjoying beautiful Williamsburg. The great company & fun at Pickthorn barely stopped all weekend. The out-of-this-world delish frozen, chocolate-covered bananas Rebecca Thom was peddling were just magic, and a great treat at day's end... - PJM

4D Panorama

In early May, a crew from Ecogradients visited newly christened Good Faith Space for a primer on 4D art practice. I provided participants with hand-gathered wildfire charcoal [Rodeo-Chediski Fire, Show Low, AZ; "FIRE" (2002)] and invited them to free-style sketch directly on the painted drywall of our room, after a brief introductory 4D transmission. I returned to the space and overpainted the drawings with Golden acrylic (titanium white). Next, after a drying period I began Phase 2 by painting small black circles (black) on the three prepped walls. Then, I executed a waveform painting on the quadrant #1 wall.

Today, Wilson Novitzki dropped by GFS to have a pre-production meeting for his upcoming photography show here. While we discussed the project, I painted the second waveform piece on the quadrant #2 wall. Wilson posed in front of that one for a mobile cam snapshot. We're tentatively planning a reception for Monday or Tuesday of next week. Some photos below...
