CHRISTIAN MARCLAY: FESTIVAL
ART:
This might be the grooviest thing the Whitney's done since its Summer of Love show in '07. Christian Marclay: Festival looks even more promising to us, as it involves daily live performances and ongoing guest interaction. Marclay himself is celebrated for his audio/visual mash-ups and experiments, looking for new forms of synesthesia as he turns sound into physical specimens like video and sculpture, and vice versa. Check the schedule for featured performances by avant-garde and no-wave heavy-hitters like Ikue Mori, Elliiott Sharp, Lee Ranaldo (founding member of Sonic Youth), Christopher McIntyre, and (many) more. - Leah Taylor

MAX' S KANSAS CITY
CLUB REMEMBERING :
Max's Kansas City was located at Park Avenue on 17th Street and a key club in Manhattan in terms of the acts who either directly influenced the nascent US punk scene or became part of it. The downstairs restaurant was the melting point of cutting edge culture including rock, painting, poetry, fashion and photography. The upstairs disco was converted to performance space where Iggy, New York Dolls, Patti Smith Wayne County and Television all played. The backroom downstairs was immortalised in Lou Reeds Walk On The Wild Side. Blondie's Deborah Harry was once a waitress there. Now a deli. :(

T MINUS 20: ARTIST T-SHIRT
FASHION ART:
T MINUS 20 is organized by IGNITE, the artist representation and licensing company founded by Jason LeBlond and Ves Pitts, coinciding with the launch of Ignite’s website plus on-line store: www.ignitelicensing.com
The exhibition is coordinated with the generous support of Christopher Henry Gallery, NYC.
Exhibition dates: July 8 – August 1, 2010
**Opening Reception: Thursday, July 8th from 6 to 9pm**
Christopher Henry Gallery
127 Elizabeth Street, Nolita NYC (between Broome & Grand)
T-SHIRTS BY: BLUE TAPE CREW // MARCOS CHIN // FERNANDA COHEN // ALBERT CRUDO // DAVID DA SILVA // GIO BLACK PETER // LANCE HORENBEIN // INBRED HYBRID COLLECTIVE // JOEY ISRAEL // BRIAN KENNY // SCOOTER LA FORGE // CHARLES LAHTI // BRUNO LEVY // MACHINE DAZZLE // CHRISTOPHER MAKOS // DAVID MANDEL // OLEK // CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVÉ // DERYCK TODD // IAN WRIGHT
+ VIDEO ART BY: LEO HERRERA // NICK HOOKER // LANCE HORENBEIN // JOE JEFFREYS // JEREMIAH JONES // JULIA OLDHAM // OLEK // JOHNNY RANGER // DESI SANTIAGO // CHRISTOPHER LEE SAUVÉ // DEVAN SIMUNOVICH // SUPERM (SLAVA MOGUTIN + BRIAN KENNY) // SWEATSHOPPE // CHRISTIAN WEBER // J. G. ZIMMERMAN
T MINUS 20 is a multi-media exhibit on two levels in a renovated church. The 1st level is a presentation of artist T-shirts, with unique designs by an exciting and eclectic line-up of 20 different artists utilizing T-shirts as their blank canvases, or who have based a concept around a T-shirt. Featuring notables such as: fashion icon & media sensation Christopher Lee Sauvé; legendary painter / sculptor / T-shirt designer Scooter LaForge; with unique interpretations by acclaimed fine artists such as Olek, Brian Kenny, Inbred Hybrid Collective, and Ian Wright; accomplished fashion illustrators Marcos Chin and Fernanda Cohen; genius costume designer Machine Dazzle; as well as famed photographer and Warhol Factory veteran Christopher Makos.
The 2nd level is an installation of innovative video art. T MINUS 20 breaks down boundaries of art and fashion… two arenas that often battle for Manhattan real estate. The video “Bar Fight” by Devan Simunovich seems to illustrate this concept, with a silvery CGI mannequin that busts out of its glass box, surrounded by scattering neon letters. T MINUS 20 presents art that won’t sit still… whether it’s art that you can wear, or exciting images in motion, which in some cases literally jumps off the wall, as in the dynamic experimental 3-d video art by Sweatshoppe.
T-shirts generally are an inexpensive item, and thus T MINUS 20 is also a response to the current economic climate, which has been addressed by the brilliant recent Grace Jones video "Corporate Cannibal" directed by Nick Hooker, which will be featured. In the context of current events such as the B.P. oil spill disaster, this video is even more relevant, powerful and unsettling then ever. Additional video artists will include: Slava Mogutin, Desi Santiago, Julia Oldham, Christian Weber, J. G. Zimmerman and more. The opening reception will feature interactive living art by Olek.
T MINUS 20 demonstrates IGNITE’s mission to market notable rising art stars, to launch unknown and emerging artists by providing a vehicle by which their careers are propelled to the next level… into the stratosphere!
