Non-Native New York will open on August 5th – August 22nd, 2010 at the de Castellane Gallery, located at 525 Atlantic Ave. Brooklyn, NY.
Opening: Thursday, August 5, 6-9pm.
The selected artists for the 2010 exhibition are:
• Mahtab Aslani
• Jaclyn Conley
• Francisco Correa-Cordero
• Emile H Dubuisson
• Yuhi Hasegawa
• Hai-Hsin Huang
• Jee Hwang

Non-Native New York is organized and curated by Linn Edwards and Brian Bell, artists who have collaborated on art projects for over five years and lived in Brooklyn for a decade. They have been inspired by the many cultures that are Brooklyn’s signature as a borough and by the many artists who have moved here from other lands.
Non-Native New York is made possible by a Brooklyn Arts Council
2010 NYSCA Regrant and de Castellane Gallery, and is fiscally sponsored by South Of the Navy Yard Artists, (SONYA) a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

I am pleased to announce that a new, luxury (aren’t they all) hotel in Soho called The James New York has acquired 11 of my works including a new 4′x4′ used envelope commission. They bought a mixture of my newer envelope pieces and some older rainbow-themed work. They could make a “haul” video and post it on youtube! The intention is for my work to fill the hallways of one floor.
The hotel is not complete yet but they should be opening in September at which point I’ll post opening reception deets and which floor you can see my work on.
This event is organized by the wicked-awesome art space Eyelevel-BQE and is being hosted by La Crêpe on Bleeker Street. There will be drinks and fun folks so stop by after work (or whatever you do) on Friday to say hello. Visit Eyelevel-BQE’s website to read bios of the participating artists.
* The auction will open with a reception on
Friday June 18th from 6 – 9.
** Bidding closes on Sunay June 20th at 2pm.

I recently taught a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown). For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.
