Wednesday, June 6th, 7:30 pm Live sets by: – Katherine Liberovskaya & Ursula Scherrer with Marina Rosenfeld – Text of Light, featuring … all » Alan Licht, Lee Ranaldo & Tim Barnes with film “I…” by Stan Brakhage, 1995 – Phill Niblock, film and music, featuring his film “T.H.I.R. aka. Ten Hundred Inch Radii”, 1971
On a technical note: My camera is lousy in low light, I had to boost the brightness and contrast way up in order to have any image at all. And the colors are nowhere near what my eye saw projected by the 16mm projector. The Brakhage film, especially needs to be seen as intended, the detail and colors are all consuming.

Roxy Paine
(May 15-December 31, 2007)
Internationally renowned conceptual artist Roxy Paine exhibits three stainless steel sculptures—Conjoined, Defunct and Erratic—in Madison Square Park. Roxy Paine’s long interest in the juxtaposition of nature and industrialization has brought form to an extensive body of work. From his mushroom and plant fields to his art-making machines and large-scale metal trees, Paine continues to see nature through an industrial prism. Through work that combines the organic with the manufactured, he questions our position between the man-made world that we control and nature’s world that we do not.
The artist is engaged in an ongoing ambitious body of work: the creation of large stainless-steel tree sculptures, ranging in height from 12 to 55 feet. These complex works are fabricated from up to 7000 metal pipe and rod elements, in 30 different diameters, are assembled through the rigorous tasks of cutting, bending, tacking, welding, grinding and polishing. This industrial process is central to the work. The trees have been placed in numerous important public collections across the United States and Europe, including the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, the St. Louis Art Museum and the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Nebraska.
Tats Ad?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007I guess I’m just falling into whatever marketing campaign this is, but I’m a sucker for craft and sweet line. There is no doubt of the skill of Tats Cru. But so far they all turn out to be ads of one sort or another. Even that great surveillance mural had some tie in with some stupid celebrity reality show. At least it’s not for Hummers this time.

Copyrighted Graffiti – Photo Book Pulled
Privacy might seem like an odd desire for these professional graffiti muralists whose works adorn everything from bodegas and medical vans to playgrounds and public schools. But they have been serious about controlling their work ever since a number of their aerosol tableaus were photographed — without their permission — for a book and an exhibit on the murals of New York City.
Tats Cru and a dozen other similarly aggrieved artists have joined to seek a settlement from Peter Rosenstein, a photographer who spent more than a decade shooting pictures of their work and included the photos in his book, “Tattooed Walls.†As a result of the artists’ complaints, the University Press of Mississippi, the publisher, removed the book from its catalog a month after its release last year. – NY Times
