Miss Bugs and Joe Black's work is a Public Summit on the
infallibility of comic books, fairy tales, and emerging artists
– a cut to the core of blue chip art and born-into pop culture.

We, Brooklynite Gallery, give you "2 Many Artists": Cut it up
how you want – that's what they do, paying tribute to legions
of artists. Collaborators Miss Bugs and Joe Black lead a grim
but loving procession through hives of art world iconography.

For MISS BUGS, "2 Many Artists" celebrates their role as
middlemen, spinning toward answers in the marketplace where
art titans and street artists remake each other. Who owns art
and why do people make it? With a warped sexiness, their work
is fantastical and tangible as a bloody nose. Miss Bugs is an
image-maker using collage and layering silk screens with other
found materials to generate stories. Often the work is not
about Miss Bugs, but the images themselves, displaced from
their usual habitat.

JOE BLACK wields Lego's like arrows ---which is funny
because they end up facing everyone head on. His technique
of assembling photo-realistic images from found objects is
extremely advanced. The scarily precise formal elements are
mirrored content-wise. His specific icons and way of
depicting them highlight a sinister piece of pop culture and
the art world that, through infinite generations, will
not leave.

BIKE RACKS AT FULTON PARK


Bigup! to Fulton Park for installing bike racks. I didn't scope
the whole park but, there are racks towards the Stuyvesant Ave
& Fulton St entrance.

Enjoy

BUTTERNUT IS RESURFACING...I THINK?


A source of mine told me today that the "Butternut Market"
will open up shop at a new location -- at the corner of Stuyvesant
Ave and Macon St.

Keep your eyes and ears open!

FYI

FYI
MSNBC
has a poll up about Obama’s performance as President so far. Republicans are flooding it with "F" votes. When I looked at the poll it showed 61% with an F grade.
Pass this address on, and go to it to vote, it only takes a moment to do so.
