The F*ing Party
We’re launching some bullshit advertising thing, just so we can have a goddamn party. We would love it if you could come, dickweed. You could even bring some of your motherf*ng friends if you like.
We like dirty words, so we’re going to build the world’s largest motherf*ing list of the nastiest s*t you can think off, and then we’re going to make it available as a dynamic database, with an open API, for free-fifty-free, because that's how we f*ng roll. If you want to contribute, then bring a big list of dirty words on a thumbdrive or some s*t, and we'll give you an autographed Joan Bennet Ramsey tanktop, or 7 minutes of heaven with Faisal Shahzad. Or don’t. We don’t give a f*. We just want to dance.

MAIN GALLERY EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT
ARTIST TALK: "observant"
Curated by Vicki Sher
Artist(s): Chris Doyle, Cynthia Lin, Jenny Dubnau, Mike Bayne, Molly Springfield, Paolo Arao, David Clarkson
Wednesday, May 19, 6-8PM
In "Observant", curator Vicki Sher has gathered together artists for whom slowing down the act of looking is important. These artists are masterful at reproducing by hand images taken from technological source material. This panel discussion with the artists will discuss their choice of source material, and their feelings about representation. We will ask how slowing down the making of images functions as a way to re-humanize the images themselves and our relationship to them. The group will discuss both their technical processes and the various inspirations behind the art in the show.
