If you live in or hang out in Brooklyn and are an artist or know any, then you know that today kicks off Bushwick Open Studios. Spaces open their doors to the public with over 500 shows that range anywhere from performances, finely curated shows or just artists sharing their studios and throwing parties—anything goes and it’s wonderful. The Jeffersonian, curated by Jonathan Phelps, will be hosting another rooftop extravaganza all weekend long with a ton of artists, some of which you’ve seen at our shows—like Sherry Aliberti (who is performing twice at BOS!) and Evan Leed. Fellow curator and artist Kelly Worman will be opening her studio with fellow artists Polly Shindler, Will Hutnick, Caitlin Peluffo and Nikki Nolan. And finally check out our old haunt on Johnson Ave. at the Mattress Factory for “Home Is Where The Art Is” with Jared Williams, Lala Montoya and others.

“I don’t care if it is a painting/drawing/sculpture performance. I don’t care if you don’t like it. I don’t care if the paper is wrinkled, torn. I don’t care if somebody walked across it and got dirt on it. I don’t care if the lines vary and there are drops and splatters. I don’t care if I don’t paint on it. If I don’t care about all of the lesser elements of the painting; if it is not regarded as “sacred” and “valuable” then I can paint, without inhibition, and experience the interaction of line and shapes.”

Sara Vanderbeek is an artist based out of Austin, TX, who captures a vibrant accessibility into the subjects of her vivid portraits. Currently she is working on an ambitious series titled “Portraits of the Artists,” where she paints artists who have inspired her, including Chuck Close, Lesley Dill and Trenton Doyle Hancock among others. And, hot damn, her work is even better in person.

Two artists we’ve worked plenty with in the past, Lala Montoya and Jared Williams, will be presenting a collaborative exhibit of their work entitled “Manta Kani (I am From)” tomorrow at the Colombian Embassy in New York. The show will feature some of the exciting themes involving identity they’ve explored together through a wide array of mediums, including painting, sculpture and performance.

From Lala and Jared:
“We invite you to think about more simple times, to believe and care about the native cultures, nature, and therefore ourselves.”

Manta Kani (I am From)

Friday, April 20th at the Colombian Embassy in New York

10 East 46th St, New York, NY

Reception: 6 - 9 PM  (performance at 8 pm)

Tuesday, MARCH 6th at 6 PM Performance by Sherry Aliberti BRURAL: Art/&/of/♥/vs./or/Design (curated by Agata Iordan) Set Gallery  287 3rd Ave., Brooklyn NY “During a choreographed performance visitors and performers will interact with “Folly” and “Cocoons”. Utilizing lighting effects, unique beats and movement, everyone is welcome to participate. The architectural intervention, “Folly” is a freestanding structure that is immersive and sensory. Colorful webbed walls morph with visitor participation. Soft seating and fabric textures mingle with fragrances and the light to create a transformative “dusk sky” environment for visitors and performers.”

A few weeks ago I posted about artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres. I’d been thinking a lot about his work lately and he served as inspiration for Kate & Bear’s most recent show “Heaven”. Last week on my walk to take the subway to work, my routine was shattered when I turned the corner and found that Gonzalez-Torres’ “Untitled” had replaced the billboard that normally hangs above the train tracks. What a delight to see this piece every single day when I turn the corner onto 31st Street.

Saw this Irmavep Lab flier in this morning’s e-flux mailing and it reminded me of some sort of amalgamation of our “Heaven” artists Marcelo Gallegos, Lori Merhige and Lisa Case.
