NO MONEY NO PROBLEMS A RECESSION ART SHOW
In Events, News, Uncategorized on September 27, 2009 at 12:34
Recession Art is a new arts organization devoted to helping emerging artists show and sell their work while giving middle-income art lovers and collectors an opportunity to buy original work at reasonable prices. We believe that in spite of hard economic times, artists and art lovers don’t have to put their passions on hold! We aim to break the traditional gallery model and make exposing, purchasing, and enjoying art more accessible for people who have been hit by the recession. We believe that we can start our own art stimulus plan today!
Recession Art – No Money No Problems
October 3rd – 10th, 2009
Weekdays Noon to 10pm
Weekends Noon to Midnight

LAST DAYS / CLOSING DAY NOVEMBER 22th
The latest group exhibition produced by No Longer Empty, “The Invisible Dog” is a show “out of nothing” in a warmly decrepit out-of-use belt factory on Bergen Street in Brooklyn.
Following the tails of the Improv Everywhere stunt last week, the show presents a multitude of site-specific works reflecting both the history of the space and the profound beauty of the Invisible Dog. A rift on the 70′s gag, it’s a void object waiting for creative minds and hands to bring it to life.

THE CHANDELIER by STEVEN AND WILLIAM
In Events, News on September 27, 2009 at 00:35
Steven and William Ladd, two artists residing in Brooklyn, NY, were invited by The Invisible Dog to create a chandelier for the art space. Upon visiting the art space, the artists were immediately drawn to the basement, where they found buckets piled high with old belt buckles and industrial parts. Sifting through the treasure-filled buckets was right up their alley. For years, they have been getting their hands dirty while cleaning, purifying and transforming objects into beautiful structures. The massive chandelier they designed and created combined elements of the found buckles with intricate hand-loomed, glass-beaded textiles.

INTRODUCING THE INVISIBLE DOG

One of the most complex and crucial questions of twenty-first century culture is how to preserve history while simultaneously making way for the new. Nowhere is this dilemma more peaked than in New York, where constant motion and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it change have long dominated the ethos. But today New Yorkers are increasingly aware of the value of preservation, of both the natural world, our city’s legacy, and our communities. Recent civic projects like the High Line signal a subtle but undeniable shift in New York culture: now, repurposing already-existing architecture seems more of the moment than does anything brand new. Call it gentrification backlash, call it environmentalism, call it recession chic, but its effects are palpable, and sometimes, startlingly touching.
