The tour focuses on the video medium, which emerged in the 1960s and has since expanded galleries into more kinetic and interactive spaces.

Featuring: Dust La Rock (Brooklyn, NY), Eric Nakamura (Los Angeles, CA), Saelee Oh (Los Angeles, CA), French (London, England), Josh Graham (New York, NY), Ill-Studio (Paris, France), Monihan Monihan (New York, NY), Mark Mothersbaugh (Los Angeles, CA), PMKFA (Tokyo, Japan), and Sage Vaughn (Los Angeles, CA).

DRAWING OF THE YEAR•
Start Time: Friday, June 4, 2010 at 6:00pm
Location: Camel Art Space
Street: 722 Metropolitan Ave
City/Town: Brooklyn, NY
june 4 - June 27, 2010
Weekends only: 12 – 6 pm or by appointment
Opening reception: June 4th, 6pm - 10pm (concurrent with B.O.S.)
Location: 722 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11237
Directions: L – train to Graham Avenue
Drawing of the Year is an exhibition comprised of works on paper by most of the artists that have shown at Camel over the past year; a year in review if you will. The works in show will be 'drawing/printmaking/photography' related, but this theme will also be interpreted more loosely, taken more liberal towards whatever means lies within the artist's methodology. Simultaneously will this be a celebratory event to toast to the anniversary of Camel Art Space. As will this exhibition partly coincide with Bushwick Open Studios.
Participating Artists include: Sarah McDougald Kohn • Ben Needham • Sam Martineau • Chris McGee • Tiana Peterson • Lance Lankford • Peter Lapsley • Matthew Murphy • Nick van Woert • Hilary Doyle • Maria Kondratiev • Julie Torres • Elisa Velazquez • Chris Martin • Maria Walker • Christine Rogers • Nora Griffin • Rachel Salamone • Carl Gunhouse • Thom Marquet • Lauren Portada • Catherine Stack • Jeremy Roby • Chris Burnside • Nathan Gelgud • Alisa Ochoa • James Woodward • Enrico Gomez • Colm Feehan • Chris Rawson • Jessica Smith • Reid Hitt • Fred Spadafora • Connie Golden • Jeff Burdian • Helena Wurzel • Yuliya Lalina • Erin Shafkind • Brian Buckley • Millie Falcaro • Bryan Graf • Julia Colavita • Molly Lowe • Adam Taye

(Found) Public Art: Street Aesthetics and Public Space
Date: Saturday, June 5, 2010
Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Lumenhouse
Street: 47 Beaver St.
City/Town: Brooklyn, NY
This presentation and discussion will explore the topic of public art through the lens of street aesthetics in neighborhood context. Part of the 2010 Bushwick Open Studios presented by Arts In Bushwick (www.artsinbushwick.org)
Two urban sociologists – Sharon Zukin and Laura Braslow will present their take on the street aesthetics of their neighborhoods – Greenwich Village and Bushwick, respectively. By offering a photographic walking tour of this “found public art” in each neighborhood, we will explore what aesthetics are at work on the streets of our neighborhoods in the context of discourses around public space, public art, and neighborhood change.
We will then open up the discussion to public art producers, activists, artists, other community members, and visitors. What public art have you found? What is public art, and what are the aesthetics of your streets?
