Mosquito shows Trailer Park ‘realness’

By sarah | Published: July 25, 2011
Mobile public artwork, parked in Carroll Gardens, outside WORK Gallery. Yes, there were actual mosquitoes that bit; strange, since I encountered not one all day–outside. Weird reality. Needed watering… But a nice, James Turrell-like moment to be had.

Stuart Nicholson, Man of Our Time

..was memorialized yesterday by many many loved ones in his home/gallery on Van Brunt Street. It is an understatement to say that he is sorely missed. This is a detail of some of the work he was doing just before he passed away. Seems he picked up a piece of this wire while he was diagnosed [...]

Street Art, (dis)course: Discuss

Post Passeggiata report. A July night on Van Brunt Street—indoors.

By sarah | Published: July 7, 2010

Union Street Outpost: WORK

By sarah | Published: June 20, 2010
Interrupting this studio-visit bonanza to say (once again) that Carroll Gardens, proper, has an outpost of art as serendipitously fun as that last studio—and accessible, ’cause it’s a gallery: WORK. At the end of Union Street. Wandered into the open door this morning. And, in addition to these nifty stools and table altered with wooden ball/dowl-y [...]
