The exhibit will be April 1-7, 2010 at the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica, CA. The winners celebration will be held April 3, 2010, 7pm-10pm in conjunction with MOPLA.

now for the third contest  i submitted  the females from above to The Silicon Gallery Fine Art Prints Ltd.

boy that was some work day which i don’t usually put myself through because i try to submit long before the deadlines, but somehow things got away from me this year. hope this isn’t a harbinger of the year to come.

i’d be happy with any of these associations because looking at past winners  i’d be in some pretty good company. tomorrow i have to pack up my Ascending print and send it off to C4fap.

woohoo the day is done .

Artist wanted: Submissions Open for FIGMENT Events in NYC and Boston

February 23, 2010

Artists Wanted:
Submissions Open for FIGMENT Events in NYC and Boston

In June 2007, a group of New Yorkers came together for a new kind of arts event on Governors Island in New York Harbor—FIGMENT, a free event in which everyone is invited to participate and collaborate to create artwork and build community. By 2009, FIGMENT had grown to a 3-day event, in which over 13,000 participants came to interact and engage with over 400 participatoryarts projects. FIGMENT also presented several summer-long projects, including an 18-hole mini golf course designed by artists and a 16-piece large-scale interactive sculpture garden, which were enjoyed by an estimated 40,000 people from June through October.  As FIGMENT grows beyond the New York City area to launch FIGMENT Boston, and further expands its NYC presence, artists are invited to participate.

Submissions are now open for 2010 FIGMENT events in New York City (June 11-13) and Boston (June 5).  Art projects in every imaginable medium are welcome, including sculpture, installation, performance, music, workshops, activities, games, visual art, and electronic art.  In addition, FIGMENT is also accepting proposals until March 1 for its summer-long exhibitions on New York’s Governors Island: the FIGMENT Sculpture Garden and Mini Golf Course. Below is a summary of our current calls for participation:

New York City Event: June 11 – 13, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline May 1

Boston Event: June 5, Memorial Drive, Cambridge
(co-located with Cambridge River Festival)
Art Submission Deadline May 1

New York City Sculpture Garden: June 11 through mid-October, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline March 1

New York City Mini Golf Course: June 11 through mid-October, Governors Island
Art Submission Deadline March 1

FIGMENT celebrates an abundance of creativity and passion, challenging artists and our communities to find new ways to create, share, think, and dream. Become a part of events in NYC (June 11-13) andBoston (June 5), and interactive exhibits on NYC’s Governors Island from June through October. For more information, visit http://figmentproject.org.

FIGMENT is a project of Action Arts League, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and is created and produced by a coalition of volunteers. FIGMENT is entirely funded by grants and individual donations, and accepts no corporate sponsorship of any kind. FIGMENT is made possible by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s SwingSpace program, which was created with lead support from the September 11th Fund. FIGMENT is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

FIGMENT Boston is produced in collaboration with the Cambridge Arts Council (www.cambridgeartscouncil.org), which exists to ensure that the arts remain vital for people living, working and visiting Cambridge.

C4FAP ‘Motion’ selection

January 29, 2010

well i’ve had one of my images selected for a c4fap Motion shows coming up this spring. i also have a cold as does mary, these things happen when we are out and about in the world.

nude female leaping upward

Ascending

i’ve made a package for the image and have downloaded the forms needing to accompany the framed print. one really should never have to read instructions and understand them when one doesn’t feel good. it’s just too much to understand nor wanting to comply with. i’d rather lay down on the couch, turn on tv and see what’s going on in soap opera world and put my head gently down on a pillow waiting for oprah to come along and lull me to sleep.

i’ve time to think about all this and since it’s 23 degrees outside i don’t need to trudge off to UPS and send the package. besides they want an artist statement. do you think they accept a note saying i’d rather take a nap?

i’ve plenty of time as the show isn’t until march 19 thru april 17 2010.

busy week as i am going over to meet the people who run the 52nd Street Project tonight and see one of their shows. the project is about helping the neighborhood kids expresses themselves using theater and since we are living in the theater district capital of the world, arrogant statement for sure but this is broadway. i think it’s nice to give back to the community who supported me and i know that one person can make a difference in another’s life.

i’ll always be grateful for Joe coming into my life, a newark policeman who read my families dynamic and offered me friendship instead of telling me what i should do. me being a teenage i wasn’t too open for advice as i knew everything but he was there with a friendly place for me to go when i needed another perspective.

i think everyone needs places like that in their lives.

so i’ll just not do too much thinking today and maybe take a nap. we can all benefit from my doggie’s suggestion on this cold winter day.

but with the snap of a shutter and living with a photographer one can never relax completely

Tim Burton @ MOMA

December 31, 2009

or how i learned to love the ‘A’ train at rush hour.

yesterday mary and i took the kids to MOMA to see this show as did most of the tourists visiting new york that day. to say the lines were long is an understatement because as i past them they reached to ave of americas  from the entrance. i knew i was in trouble right away.

moma is not my favorite museum but i remember it more fondly before they spent $858 million on its renovation  and expansion which has seemed like an actual reduction in viewing experience. they say there is more room  for exhibits but the whole museum experience for me is too crowded, not just popular shows as is the burton exhibit, but the hallways, stairs, bathrooms  and moving to the elevators, everything is square and small.

i tried looking down on the sculpture garden from one of the floors only to be blocked by some horizontal bars that obstructed my view. what was yoshio taniguchi thinking while designing this space?

even with the open space in the middle of the museum,which to me in reality feels restricted space where one can never touch. maybe it’s a japanese thing. when i first revisited moma they had Monet’s water lillies hanging there, what a waste to try to see them so far away,50 or 100 feet away, since then they’ve moved them to their own room next to the second floor cafe  which now reminds me of the port authority bus terminal waiting room. what happened to the nice quiet room they hung in at old moma?  but the room does make a nice place to drink your cafe latte or whatever comes from the cafe. slurp quietly.

i now feel crushed by the weight to the condo tower, or what ever it is,  above the exhibit space i guess by the money represented above. but i am being distracted by my hate for the new building. but before i move on you know the nice first floor restaurant in the old building, the one with lots of light coming in the floor to ceiling windows, well it’s now a much smaller members only dinning room. the masses are shuttled to the other cafe’s, now just feeding rooms on long impersonal tables popularized by barbican courts to feed the masses with no views.

but the tim burton shuffle show, and that’s what the experience is, shuffling along, reminding me of an old character on the life of riley radio show, digger odell ‘i’ve got to be shoveling along’, which in a way suits tim burton’s work very well. but because of the crowd one is moved along or bumped into by the mass. most of the show consists of small working drawings and it’s  really exhibited in a very small space.

what i’ve aways thought the strong part of burtons work were his movies. at the entrance to the exhibits there are a number of televisions sets showing different segments of a video piece. they don’t seem to be coordinated as the first one ends the next station should  begin so one can see the video as a whole. as it is now the next video is already running so you move to that staqtion in the middle. how hard would it be to sync things up? hello museum. ‘well move on there, we’ve got your money’, there is big crush  behind you and lots of kids,, little ones to the front please, ‘hey you big oaff could you move, you’re blocking the screen for everyone else, yes you.’

the crowd moves on one more hansel & gretel video with a small space to sit. the crowd moves on into bigger smaller room with models of characters from movies them over to the egress, hey what happened ? ‘oh bauhaus, looks interesting lets go there.’

did i say how much i despise moma, yet i go there, now i won’t pay $20.00 to visit a place with a lot more money than i’ll ever see, but target still subsides friday’s at moma which i support by going and making purchases at target stores. so supporting the arts is always nice.

if only i could get some people interested in buying my art work oh well see www.jeneyoutt.com or my OMP portfolio  for samples.

Two More Highline Arrests ordered by Parks Commissioner

December 18, 2009
know your rights
Two More Highline Arrests Ordered by NYC Parks Commissioner

Sunday 12/6/09

ARTIST President Robert Lederman and ARTIST member Jack Nesbitt were both arrested on the Highline Sunday, 12/6/09 at approximately 12:30 PM. Lederman was previously arrested on the Highline on November 21 and issued 5 summonses for vending without a Parks permit.

In today’s arrest, the artists were handcuffed by 5 Parks Enforcement Patrol officers (PEP), taken to the 6th Precinct, held in a cell, and later released with two Criminal Court summonses given to each artist for disorderly conduct and failure to comply.

Lederman and Nesbitt are both plaintiffs in a Federal lawsuit (Lederman et al v Giuliani decided in 2001) which overturned the Parks permit requirement for artists. Since 2001 visual artists may sell in all NYC Parks without needing any license or permit.

Today’s arrest was the 43rd for Lederman. He has never been convicted and has won 5 Federal lawsuits about about street artists’ First Amendment rights.

The PEP officers were led by Inspector Robert Reeves. The arresting officers stated that the arrest was directly ordered by Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe.

A video of the arrest is available on Youtube at this address:
http://www.youtube. com/watch? v=KcHH5TwA7zw

Still photos are available here:
http://www.flickr. com/photos/ street_artist/ ?saved=1

Below are links to official Parks Department documents, the Federal court ruling and other materials proving that artists can legally sell in any NYC Park. There is also a link to materials from the Friends of the Highline website showing that it is a 100% public, city owned park.

Lederman and Nesbitt are represented by attorney Julie Milner, who plans to file a Federal civil rights lawsuit this week about these arrests. The defendants will be the City of NY, The Parks Department and the Friends of the Highline.

Robert Lederman issued the following statement after being released:

“What the public and the media should ask the Mayor, Commissioner Benepe and the Friends of the Highline is this: If this is a public park, doesn’t the First Amendment, the Federal Court rulings and the laws of the City of NY, all of which exempt First Amendment protected street artists from any license or permit, mean that you cannot keep on falsely arresting artists for not having a park permit? And if the Friends of the Highline is advertising that they have a food vending concession up there already and plan to have more, and they also sponsor numerous art shows on the Highline, how can they legally ban First Amendment protected artists? We were arrested today as criminals, but the sad reality is that we are the ones upholding the law. It is the Mayor, the Parks Commissioner and the Friends of the Highline that are committing the only criminal act associated with these arrests. They are in blatant contempt of court.”

212.360.1371

(Note that they fully acknowledge that artists can legally sell in parks.)

Parks statement QUOTE:
“The High Line is a unique public space, a thin elevated corridor at less than three acres with pathways as narrow as eight feet wide in some places. Many activities are prohibited. These include biking, skateboarding, throwing a baseball or a Frisbee, or walking a dog. The High Line can receive as many as 25,000 visitors on a busy day, walking along its long linear surface surrounded by fragile new plantings. Mr. Lederman and other vendors are able to ply their trade in hundreds of New York City parks and on hundreds of miles of city streets, where visitors can linger and enjoy their wares.”

man ray exhibit at jewish museum

December 18, 2009

Man Ray exhibit at The Jewish Museum

For those not familiar with his work, Man Ray was perhaps the father of surrealistic photography. While living together in Paris his girlfriend, Lisa Miller, accidentally invented Solarization when she walked into one of his dark room sessions.

After Man Ray fled the Nazi invasion of France and returned and returned to the U.S., Lisa Miller went on to become one of the first women War Photographers and one of the best.

A true trail blazer, Man Ray influenced avant-garde photographers whom followed, notably Andy Warhol.

If real creative inspiration is your photographic passion, familiarity with Man Ray’s work is a must.

for artists who want to know about new spaces and opportunities

December 18, 2009
chashama Studio Application – Brooklyn Army Terminal
DEADLINE : January 12, 5pm – at our office / January 11 – postmark

The chashama Studio Program at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BAT) encompasses 89 visual artist studios in two neighboring buildings in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.

We are seeking artists to join our BAT Studio community, beginning occupancy February 2010.

chashama offers low-cost, work-only studio space to eligible individual artists for a period up to one year (depending on availability of the space from the landlord), subject to renewal. Organizations are not eligible. This program does not provide living space.

Studios:
range in size from 200 to 800 square feet,
will cost no more than $1 per square foot per month.
have 8-foot high walls, with ceiling heights that range from 12 to 15 feet.
24-hour access
freight elevators during business hours

A communal environment is encouraged through proximity of the studio artists. The studios do not have individual studio doors (if an artist wishes for privacy, he/she may hang fireproof material over the studio opening.) For an image of the building and a sample studio, check out
http://www.chashama.org/_brooklyn/index.htm

Artists who are awarded a studio are expected to work in their spaces on a consistent and ongoing basis, and must be prepared to actively use their studio a minimum of 50 hours a month or they will lose it; sign-in sheets are used to record studio use. Studios may not be sublet.

Each artist provides a security deposit ($200) along with the first month’s rent upon signing the lease agreement. Studio artists are asked to participate in one (1) open house per year in which their studios are open to public visitation.

Eligibility: All applicants must be residents of the United States or have a valid visa not expiring before the end of the residency, be 18 years or older, and able to demonstrate need for a studio. Applicants may not be residents in another studio program at the same time as their chashama residency, unless agreed to by chashama.

Welding, work that requires use of fire, or work that creates an abundance of air-born particulate matter is not allowed. If your work samples are of this type of work, please describe how your future projects may differ.

Selection Process:
chashama will place artists in a studio based on the information received in the application.
A panel of arts professionals and artists will review applications and select artists based on
• Artistic merit. Quality of work.

We will then interview selected artists to determine
• Need. The need for space measured against other options available.
• Use. Potential for making the most of time in the studio.
• Personal responsibility. Personal references and ability to pay fees.

All applicants will be notified in February if they have been selected for interview. Please do not call our office for selection results.
