After a successful 2008 debut, Brooklyn Flea is moving its "Gifted" holiday market into Manhattan, taking over the 6500 square-foot former Tower Records Annex storefront at E. 4th St. and Lafayette St. in Noho, where it will launch an expanded five-day-a-week pop-up shop from Thanksgiving to Christmas.
Gifted will feature a rotating cast of 50 vendors from Friday, November 27, to Thursday, December 24. Complete dates are as follows: Fri-Sun, Nov. 27-29; Wed-Sun, Dec. 2-6; 9-13; every day, Dec. 16-24. (Hours will vary from day to day, in the range of noon to 7pm.)
Note: From December 5+6 through March, the "regular" Flea will be moving indoors to 81 Front St. in DUMBO for its annual winter pop-up market, with about 50 vendors, every Saturday and Sunday, 11am to 6pm. The outdoor markets' last weekend is Nov. 21+22; they will re-open in April 2010.

Nov. 30: Creation In Reverse
with David Byrne
Open City Dialogue (OCD) is a bi-monthly lecture series unraveling on alternating Mondays in the backroom of Pete’s. Short (35-40 minute) lectures are woven together from the common thread of people’s obsessions, with guests coming from all over Greater New York. Whether academic or crackpot; celebrated or unsung, our lecturers all have something to tell you…
OCD is held on alternate Mondays at 7:30pm.
“What I'm going to talk about is an insight I've had about creation. That insight is that the context largely determines what is written, sung or performed. That doesn't sound like so big of an insight, but it's actually backwards from what I perceive to be conventional wisdom- which is that creation emerges out of some interior connection or upswelling of passion or feeling that innevitably needs an outlet. I think the passion is there, but it's largely unconsciously tailored to fit an available context and circumstance."
David Byrne is a musician, visual artist and filmmaker. A co-founder of the band Talking Heads, he has also released several solo albums and garnered an Academy Award for his score to Bernardo Bertolucci’s film The Last Emperor. His art includes photography and installation works, and has been published in five books, most recently Arboretum. His latest projects include a musical collaboration with Fatboy Slim invoking the life of Imelda Marcos; a travelogue entitled Bicycle Diaries; and Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, Byrne’s second album with Brian Eno. Last year, he designed a series of artistic bike racks to be installed throughout New York City.
