What a great picture from ilovegraffitti.de
Saddam Hussein, Adolph Hitler and the sly smiles shinning through it all.

IAN PEDIGO
Call it big-box-store haiku: the sculptor turns the stuff of Home Depot, Pier 1, and their Dumpsters into pared-down, poetic assemblages. Bamboo placemats are arranged on the wall in an octagonal “O,” a stylized emblem of emptiness. A scrap of carpet is paired with a birch branch and a fluorescent tube like industrial ikebana. The young artist plays clever games with the conventions of indoor and outdoor, turning the light coming through the gallery windows into a piece titled “Emptied Projections,” using commercially available diffusion material that casts shadowless light. Through Feb. 14. (Von Nichtssagend, 438 Union Ave. 718-383-7309.)

Nicole also gave a speach while I was at RISD. She chose to speak to the juniors, so it must have been 1999 or 2000, rather than the seniors feeling that she would have more impact. I hope she is doing well. She was so nice. Is so nice. This is a 1996 Gallery Beat video - gallerybeat.net

Oh my god! Best show ever. I have only seen images on line, but I have seen enough GB work to know that this show is the most amazing thing I have ever seen or not really seen. If I could I would get my self and who ever I could bring to Klaus Von Nichtssagend Gallery and check it out.
Glen is the most amazing printer and for this series of prints he has used scratch off ink. How awesome is a casket catalogue printed with scratch off print titled Lucky Sevens…
And even better adding to the shows value is a work like Collection 2004-2009 - A 5 gallon glass carboy, losing scratch off lotto tickets, milk crates, and acrylic paint. No explanation needed. What a great use of found objects relating critically to our lost hopes and golden dreams of quick richness. What nice touch of process the white paint adds and how beautiful the glass case sits on its pedestal. The same goes for Gentleman’s Toothpick a similar sculpture consisting of painted milk crates a wooden tablet with folding knives stabbed into a slightly slanted display like cut. The entire gallery is bordered by a sun set screen printed on perforated vinyl.
The show transforms the entire gallery and displays Glens awesome ideas and insights and skill not only as a skilled printer, but also and most importantly as a great artist.

the peeps at artlog.com caught some nice points on the current show at Klaus Von Nichtssagend.
And I am wondering who and how the works for Skateistan got appraised. I am pretty happy with mine even thought 5k is a lot of money for a skateboard it is a great donation to a great cause.
I just finished my article on Michael Mahalchick for 8′eren magazine. I LOVE HIS WORK. And I was really pleased to meet him.

Julian Tepper is a New York New Yorker. As far as I know his ancestors lived in Green Point hundreds of years ago. He is an awesome guy and I love hanging out with him. He too has a large family and we can bitch about the intricacies and boast about the joys for hours on.
He is a great young writer and on his website you can read his current book I_Ivan. Check it out.

Good to be home. But what an awesome trip. Stine, all the kids and me. Yes. Everything makes so much more sense when they are all around. Crazy and chaotic, but meaningful.
To top it off - a great show, great opening and now Barry Hoggard made it a top pick on Artcal. Yeah.

Klaus Von Nichssagend used my work as part of their application to this years NADA Art Fair in Miami. It made me really proud and I am now happy to be showing new works in December. Rob Hult just told me that they got accepted.

Rob Hult got into fractals at RISD, and this lecture strikes on the coolness of nature and the stupidity and ignorancy of early western science or at least its selfsufficiency.
