TONIGHT AT CENTRAL BOOKING: EARTHWORKS.
Paul Tecklenberg, Barbara Siegel, Anne Gilman
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 14, 6-8pm
Panel Discussion: Thursday, May 12, 6:30pm ($5)
“Earthwork” is an exhibition in which nineteen international artists look at the earth from all edges of it. Drawn, photographed, printed, cut, hacked, diced, assembled, witnessed, with resonating metaphors, these artists present their interpretations of the stuff we gravitate to.
W. David Powell combs discarded science textbooks to scavenge images, while the texts of Tania Kovats tell a different tale. David Redfern collages an advertisement of the truly high cost of the low cost of oil. Barbara Siegel recreates the study of a geologist through his own studies, a warm and inviting installation; Maureen Piggins uncovers the geologist by peeling away the layers.

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.
