Joey, a rap by Gina Beavers

Here to talk about Joey
Had his picture on my wall, my one and only
It started at school, me pressed up against the bricks
In the summer out back, in the sticks
The city screamed to us from it’s canyons
With its beats and passion and sins
We scrawled our names on its walls
An ancient city—
we moaned our love down its halls
We scratched our names in the sand
And when we fought I scratched lines in his hand
I saved all our memories in my scrapbook
Empty pack of cigs, a ticket stub, all ready for one look
That day it rained, he came round the same way
The clouds crowning down, waiting for our play
Oh, yeah and how we had loved minute to minute
Never lookin up, not thinkin time would tip it

Bushwick Schlacht!
245 Boerum Street, Brooklyn NY (subway directions below)

April 3 and 4, 2010

Opening Reception: Saturday April 3rd, 6-10pm

Exhibition hours: Sunday April 4th, 12-7pm and Monday April 5th, by appointment

http://www.fortresstosolitude.com/schlacht

Curated by Guillermo Creus, Tom Sanford and Marcel Hüppauff

Special thanks to Photios Giovanis.

The German title of the show Bushwick Schlacht! (Bushwick Battle!), refers to the original conception for the show: a battle and at the same time collaboration between artists mostly from the US and Germany, with the idea of creating all kinds of visual interrelations between each individual work, sourced from different aesthetics. Like an international dj battle, like a rap battle that creates a new sound from action and reaction and so forth, this painting battle will generate a new visual experience through addition and accumulation.

PRESS RELEASE
SYMBOL RUSH
Lauren Beck
Jude Broughan
Adriana Farmiga
Alicia Gibson
Meredith James
Sascha Mallon
January 15 – February 20, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, January 15th, 6 – 8 pm

Newman Popiashvili Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition of six artists whose work all weave fantastical narratives based on their own personal accounts. These artists incorporate autobiographical elements within their work, which ranges from ink drawing, watercolor, collage, photography as well as video and sculpture. The three artists who work in drawing vary in their use of the medium. Lauren Beck’s collage watercolors create narratives of desire and forms of escape, but in each tale, the mechanism of escape renders the escape impossible.
Alicia Gibson documents aspects of her life through humorous parody and creates colorful watercolors of either books she is reading, the Netflix package of a movie she just viewed or the inside of her lingerie drawer. Sascha Mallon’s stark black and white drawings are surreal stories completely filling the paper so the “picture-drawing” reads like a novel. Brooklyn based New Zealand artist Jude Broughan’s stitched photo collages trace her fascination with ideas around sustenance and growth, fallibility and imperfection, travel and home and the “native.” In these works the hand stitched threads and cords are exposed as if rejecting the perfection of a finished piece and appear as work “in progress.” In her new work, Adriana Farmiga pushes the boundaries between sculpture and drawing. Her large-scale drawing of bright turquoise clothespins is rolled and
then placed upon the aforementioned clothespins and stands in the gallery. All this forces a reexamination of the object, its drawing, and the resulting shift in context.
Again shifting perception in their art, Meredith James’s video, Present Time, has the artist along with her sister moving through numerous sets of interiors and facades of buildings. The camera zooms and pans from one scene to another, seamlessly joining together rooms from different houses.

Thursday July 30th
6-9pm
One night only - I will be showing a bunch of new watercolors loosely based on the idea of a girl gang (our old Boston graffiti crew, Ladies in Heels, tore up the streets with our cursive graffiti and block letters. With such tags as Wuz Here, Diet Coke and Keep it in Your Pants, we had no qualms about going over any of the major writers... and of course the movie Switchblade Sisters).
