"Created in her own Image" Solo Show of Elisa Velazquez
Thursday, June 23 at 6:00pm - June 24 at 8:00pm
Location Hudson Guild Gallery
119 9th Avenue
New York, NY
Hudson Guild presents the solo show of LMCC Art for Space Resident Elisa Velazquez. Her work explores the themes of identity and culture both external and internal. In the her show titled “Created in her own image” she presents a series of mixed media portrait painting, drawings and crocheted sculptures made during her residency of 2010-11. These works were inspired by traditional portraiture, religious iconography and the interactions and experiences she had with the participants of the Hudson Guild. She plays with the roles and titles that society places on women: saint, sinner, princess, beauty queen, wild woman and makes them in her own image.
Opening: Thursday June 23, 6-8 pm
Show runs from June 23- August 9th
Viewing Hours / Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays / 3:00 - 6:00 PM

The Strange Boys / White Fence / Babies
Austin, TX's The Strange Boys evoke a wild-eyed, porcelain-skinned innocence that is capable of summoning the wayward spirit of Brian Jones. Greg Enlow's syncopated, organ-driven grooves hark back to the Seeds' "Pushing Too Hard" while guitarist Ryan Sambol's voice wavers beyond comparison. Older brother Philip Sambol keeps the pulse with the aptly named Matt Hammer, who unmercifully pounds an old Ludwig set. The Strange Boys were the backing band for Mighty Hannibal (the '50s R&B recording artist) and have shared bills with Daniel Johnston, Black Lips, Reigning Sound, King Khan and BBQ, Jay Reatard, Mika Miko, No Age, BRMC and many others.
Two more artists round out the night—White Fence is one man, Tim Presley, who is also a singer in garage-soul band Darker My Love, player on The Fall album Reformation Post TLC and now full-time member of The Strange Boys. And up first will be Babies featuring Kevin Morby of Woods and Cassie Ramone of Vivian Girls.
