Brooklynite Gallery

[Harveyn]

Love this idea Rae and what a great way to raise money for a charity.

[BROOKLYNITE]

Thanks Harveyn. We will be announcing shortly which charities the funds will go to. We have received numerous emails from kids and parents letting us know they will be submitting work--- Keep them coming!

More details to follow....

[Pure Evil]

Do you guys have 'pin the tail on the donkey' in the US ? Im having a paint session with Inkdeath on friday. Im going to take her up to the Chrome and Black paint store to meet ZOMBY and she's going to pick herself out some colours, she's going to do some pieces for you and then Im gonna do a pure evil donkey painting with a separate painted tail and we'll send you a care package when its all dry....

easynow !
PE

[BROOKLYNITE]

Yes we do do Pin the Tail here.... That's dope PE. Please make sure the canvas she is submitting is the correct size-- (35.5 cm x 50.8 cm) or smaller.

Also our show title suggests that she can use alternative materials to make her piece-- Hence the name "By Any Means Necessary." Have you decided if you will submit a half finished piece to have the youth here collaborate on too?

Woke up to an inbox of 20 confirmation emails from kids from round the world. We will have a section dedicated to Ethopian Kids art work.

[Pure Evil]

Cool im up for doing a collab piece... what dimensions ? same as for the little 'uns ?

[BROOKLYNITE]

Great! Yours can be a bit bigger. Preferably on canvas board or something more rigid. But the choice is up to you. We are getting a mixed variety of mediums. Metal, found wood, etc from the other artists.

Thanks for your support on this PE and everyone pushing this event.

Hi, is it your space that Goldie is showing in ??

[BROOKLYNITE]

Marshman,

The Goldie show looked great man. Well done. Yeah for sure Ruby can post some bills for Goldie. Just let Eddie know it will be in exchange for a shinebox! He'll know what I'm talkin' about---

[amsterdam9697]

Right on! Absolutely hilarious ;D

[BROOKLYNITE]

We have decided on the charities that will benefit from our upcoming Kids Show, "By Any Means Necessary". May 16.

They are:

Haven House: www.Havenhouse.org.uk - A children hospice dedicated to creating a happy environment for terminally ill children.

H2 Empower: www.H2Empower.org - Dedicated to improving lives in Africa through education and sustainable development.

2 Local Brooklyn school art programs.

I hope many of you will help us raise money for these worth while causes. The kids art will be priced very reasonable. The $30 range. Also the pieces that MISS BUGS, JOE BLACK, DAIN, K-GUY, LUDO and PERU ANA ANA PERU collaborate with kids on will be posted here and priced very reasonable and auctioned off.

. . . COMING IN NOVEMBER TO BROOKLYNITE GALLERY . . .

What does it mean for an artist to “survive” in a tough economic climate?
Can business ever be “bad” for a diligently working artist? Making an
honest living ---in a group show like NO OTHER, these artists, some legendary
and some suitably hungry, will dissolve the line between utility and luxury
for an exhibition entitled, "NOW GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX".

If you’ve spent time in a "third world country", you’ve had a chance
to see kids carrying ingeniously designed work boxes, set up for
shinning shoes. We find that the variety and exuberance of these
objects perfectly captures our world climate.

With the global economic downturn and the hardship it has caused
blue-collar workers throughout, we find it fitting to explore the
world’s simplest way to make a living— SHINNING SHOES. We are
planning an exhibition around just that-- SHOESHINE BOXES.

However a "SHOESHINE BOX" should not be taken in the most literal sense
of the words. These objects, our inspiration, have all been created out of
necessity- a need to earn money, or further, to survive. We push “the need
to survive” beyond its literal context, commissioning our favorite established
and emerging artists to design their own, "SURVIVAL BOXES".

A shoeshine box is a medium, a framework, the boundaries of which
have not been pushed ...till now.
