We will celebrate a holiday for the 99%. We will come together across lines of race, class, gender, and religion and challenge the systems that create these divisions among us. New Yorkers will join with millions throughout the world — workers, students, immigrants, professionals, houseworkers — We will take to the streets to unite in a General Strike against a system which does not work for us. With our collective power we will begin to build the world we want to see. Another world is possible!

Cross-Reference: A Collaborative Exhibition Featuring the work of Hans + Gieves

Like the Spice gallery presents Cross-Reference, a collaborative of Nashville-based painter Hans Schmitt-Matzen and Brooklyn-based photographer Gieves Anderson. It’s fitting that Hans and Gieves begin the works in their latest series in libraries, which the two artists consider sanctuaries of thought. Duly titled Cross-Reference, the series enables a philosophical contemplation of color and composition through an alchemy of the disparate mediums of photography and painting. Libraries’ unbroken rows and columns of books were the artists’ inspiration for the new works, and Gieves’ large photographic prints of the buildings’ interiors and exteriors form the multicolored surfaces to which Hans applies oils in thick gestural strokes made with brushes, blades, and customized squeegees.

Causey Contemporary is pleased to present two solo exhibitions this April, New Paintings by Marc Brotherton and Acid Bath by Nina Carelli. Marking his third solo exhibition with the gallery, Brotherton will present his newest series of bold, mixed-media paintings, which explore ideas of new technology, communication, color and design. Marc Brotherton contends that living in the twenty-first century, we are constantly bombarded by input– be it from televisions, news sources, the internet, or one of the many communication gadgets. In a way, Brotherton’s paintings are a form of communication, which address technological and political quandaries, but also banalities of daily life. The outcome of his work is a materialized investigation into the perplexing world in which we live. Brotherton states that his incentive to make art comes from an “…inner curiosity, a personal necessity to acknowledge an awareness that we are here together inhabiting an increasingly chaotic world.”

5:30pm Beautiful Bountiful Brooklyn Tasting Hour | 7pm Potluck | 8:30pm Slideshow
Location: TBA | Dumbo, Brooklyn
Tickets Available Soon!
As Brooklyn is now synonymous with the seasonal, sustainable and local food movement, we are again offering a Beautiful Bountiful Brooklyn Tasting Hour, involving a number of restaurants, organizations and purveyors, as well as the beers of Brooklyn Brewery As this is our only major potluck dinner in NYC this year, we’d like to invite people to bring dishes that have as many local, seasonal ingredients as possible.
Event Description
It brings me great pleasure to announce that Slideluck Potshow and The New York Photo Festival will be teaming up again to present Slideluck Potshow XVI. Following last year’s collaboration which resulted in breaking The Guinness World Record for the Largest Potluck on Earth, we will be gathering once more in celebration of food, photography and community.
The theme of this slideshow will be UPHEAVAL. From the Middle East to middle America, we are living in a time characterized by great upheaval – in politics, nature, religion, art,climate, food, media, relationships, technology and education. Whether for better or worse, we are looking for work that speaks to the remarkable change that surrounds us.
We are excited to bring in Whitney Johnson (also a Seattlite) who is taking over for her at The New Yorker (upheaval in and of itself) as our guest curator! We are seeking creative and insightful projects about UPHEAVAL – and as usual, one half of the show will be open and not bound by any theme.
