TONIGHT AT DEITCH BROOKLYN

So tonight in the Brooklyn Deitch Projects space is a release party for their 2005 shows book. I was leafing through it and as a dear friend pointed out it's totally a hipster year book. The best thing about a hipster year book is you might be in it! Anyway, since I've been helping out with Swoon's upcoming show I've spent gazillions of hours in the building that this party will be in tonight and man, I'll never look at it the same way ever again. Speaking of all that, the show opens July 7 at 6pm at 76 Grand st. Come celebrate the raddest, most beautiful show ever by an exceptionally incredible artist. Until then, stop walking by the windows and heckling me while I'm sewing there at night.

RELEASE PARTY with LIVE BANDS!!!! Deitch Projects is pleased to announce the publication of Live Through This: New York in the Year 2005, a huge anthology edited by Jeffrey Deitch and Kathy Grayson showcasing the most exciting and fresh art being made right now in and around New York.

Live Through This brings together over thirty of the most innovative and influential art, music, and fashion people who are changing artmaking now. New art practice is now intimately tied to the lived experience of the artists themselves, and this book-- through more than three hundred color reproductions of artists, artworks, events, zines, concerts, openings and parties-- illustrates and examines the nature of this relationship.

June 30th, 9pm-midnight @ Deitch: 110 North 1st Street, Brooklyn

okay so lemme tell ya some roundup stuff.

1) come to the memorial rides tonight and my screenings this weekend. (july 1 & july 2) 2) seenster is starting a new blog! i can't wait. going to sit here and twiddle thumbs until it drops. thanks seenster for being so nice and good. everyone go look at his very very good site. seenster.com 3) I got a tetanus shot today. Nothing's broken in my hand from the spill but now I have to go to physical therapy. Meh.
on the wburg bridge this morning. i was really hoping someone would fuck this billboard up. first it was neckface begins and then they put the same one back up and rambo covered it and then this horrible navy shit. not that "make fuck not war" and "love, love" are neccessarily the most effective slogans but hey, at least they did something. up today on wooster.

seen this morning on the wburg bridge.
my leg. improving some.

my knuckles are getting better though the wound is still all deep.
this artist is doing stuff all outside this gallery. when callie and i walked by i snapped this pic and he was like "you owe me ten dollars" then i kind of giggled and was like who are you? and he says "I'm THE ARTIST" and i'm all, okay. and i'm thinking--it's probably not the best way to make public art--by charging people to take photos of it when they walk by, jackass. his stuff is pretty clunky and ugly anyway. moral of the story is, whoever this artist is, he sucks.

giant stay high
my hand x-rays from my wreck last week. i'm fine. i have to get physical therapy for my scarring and stuff but it's not broken.

some neato stuff in soho

i thought my bike was the party bike.

TIMES ARTICLE ON CYCLISTS KILLED RECENTLY AND THE MEMORIALS.

Here's a bit of what it said:

The stenciled images are not the only new memorials for bicyclists. Last week, a collective of artists called Visual Resistance began using bicycles that have been spray-painted white, called "ghost bikes," to designate spots where bicyclists have died. The first was on Fifth Avenue near Warren Street in Park Slope, where a 28-year-old lawyer, Elizabeth Padilla, died after being struck by a truck on June 9, said Kevin Caplicki, 26, of Fort Greene. Mr. Caplicki is a member of the collective and said he happened by Fifth Avenue moments after Ms. Padilla died. The experience motivated him and others to introduce to New York this type of memorial, which has appeared on the streets of St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

"I feel an affinity with any cyclist who has fallen," Mr. Caplicki said. "I hope that people can make a connection when they see a riderless bicycle and think about a life that's gone." [update: visual resistance said: you can also check out link for some fotos or our main site!]

SIMULTANEOUS MEMORIAL FOR FOUR SLAIN CYCLISTS WED.

Simultaneous Memorial for Cyclist Deaths Wed, June 29th at 7pm 4 Cyclists Killed by Trucks & SUV within the last two months Four different locations Andrew Morgan, 25, Houston & Elizabeth, Manhattan Elizabeth Padilla, 28, 5th Avenue and Prospect Pl, Brooklyn Brandie Bailey, 21, Houston & Avenue A, Manhattan Jerome Allen, 59, Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island Bring candles and flowers Simultaneous Moment of Silence at 7:20pm 4 Cyclists have been killed by trucks & SUVs in the past 2 months. This Wednesday will be a week from when Andrew Morgan was killed on Elizabeth and Houston. 7pm Wed night Time's Up! and the community will be having a simultaneous memorial on the site of all four deaths that will establish the link between their deaths and the need for safer streets for cyclists. We also will be bringing to light the fact that no driver has been charged in any of these cases and we want safer infrastructure now. During the course of the last year the city has not just arrested cyclists, they have also created a climate on the streets that is more conducive to a lackof respect for cyclists. The city has also spent millions of dollars trying to confuse our clear message of needing more safety and infrastructure for cyclists. TIME'S UP!! Get Outraged!! Stop the Killing, Demand Respect!! PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY
