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...

AFH + BOS2013

Bushwick Open Studios is arguably coming into its own as the best such event in the USA or anywhere. Art for Humans & Paul McLean will be participating in BOS2013 at several locations, including SLAG, the AFH Studio BK 2 (Brooklyn Fireproof #411, #66 on the directory), and Pickthorn BK. A "4dPop-up" - or two or three - may be happening at Good Faith Space (details TBD).

“A cultural phenomenon, BOS2013 will take place Friday, May 31 – Sunday, June 2, 2013 and will include over 500 individual studios, shows, and exhibition involving thousands of artists. This free event invites visual artists, performers, musicians, designers, and the public to celebrate creative expression in one of the most vital arts districts in the world.”
