STATELESS
This piece is part of a series of illustrations that artist Steven Bradshaw and myself have been working on for The Crossing Choir. It's been wonderful working on these pieces, you can view more and also listen to their beautiful music at |www.crossingshoir.org____
Introducing a massive project I’ve been working on with the amazing and wonderful @nyahzul and @thecrossingchoir : A new series of pieces entitled STATELESS: Our theme centers around a David Lang composition based on a letter from a well-known rabbi exiled from Barcelona to Jerusalem during the 13th century. He writes of a time where Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived in (relative) harmony and made great societal strides together on the Iberian Peninsula. This series is an attempt to tell our modern story through the 2D Iberian painting style of the time. Visit www.crossingchoir.org to see more of the series and WHAT WE HOPE will be our 2020/2021 seasonArtists/Work Group Exhibition

BLAM is pleased to announce the exhibition "MATERIA PRIMA", curated by Stephen Romano. The exhibition is a mixture of leading contemporary artists, folk art, vernacular photography, esoteric ephemera, outsider art and unexpected images and objects."MATERIA PRIMA" is based on the theme of diverse magical practices, challenging the notion that all magic is necessarily dark in nature.
Curator Stephen Romano says,“The exhibition is an articulation of the esoteric nature of the artist as shaman, a producer of art works that serve as social healing devices, to make well again our collective consciousness. To re-inject the forces of hope, optimism and belief of magic into our declining culture. The true artist…the art they make, is a primary experience in and of itself. The creation is an act of magic, a conjuring or a protective spell. It is where the artist makes a stand: socially, politically and spiritually.
We live in this universe that has no known boundary, the concept of the scale of spatial infinity is one that is impossible to comprehend, and equally we live for a very brief time, in a very microcosmic space. Given that realization, what is purpose? In my experience, which is what I try to articulate as a curator, what sustains us is the need for self-actualization, the perpetuation of the metaphysical, and contact with the higher order.
This is achieved through culture, in what Teilhard de Chardin would call a ‘biophilic’ experience as opposed to say, looking at something that would dumb down our perceptual senses, a ‘necrophilic’ moment; one that perpetuates the death of the psyche. Great art is an enrichment, and one that ought to be a shared social experience."
When asked about the extreme and esoteric nature of the works in the exhibtion, Stephen Romano responded "We live in extremely times, the art of our time should be an extention and reflection of those extremes"
Stephen Romano has been a prominent Brooklyn gallerist and private art dealer over the past few years, curating exhibitions at his eponymous galleries in Dumbo and Bushwick featuring the works of well known artists such as photographer William Mortensen, Charles Dellschau, Colin Christian, Rithika Merchant, Jel Ena, Matthew Dutton and David Molesky. He has also held ambitious group exhibitions such as "Mysterium Cosmographicum", "In Missa Interfectionis", Infernum", "Heirogliphica", "Saint Bowie" and the blockbuster "Opus Hypnagogia" at the Morbid Anatomy Museum in Brooklyn. Stephen presented outside curated exhibitions such as "Destinesia" and "The Devils Reign' curated by the high priest of the Church of Satan Peter H. Gillmore.
Romano has published several seminal catalogs on the works of Jel Ena, El Gato Chimney, Darcilio Lima (with text by Barbara Safarova), William Mortensen (with text by A.D. Coleman,) Colin Christian "Trypophobia", Rithika Merchant, Pavel Kraus (with text by David Ebony), and Lu Chan (with text by Robert Morgan). He has also produced a large format coffee table book on the works of renowned artist Charles Dellschau (1830 - 1923) which included the final published essay by the late Thomas McEvilley. Stephen Romano is the publisher of lexiconmag.com.
An active and enthusiastic member of the international art community for the past 30 years, Romano has championed female artists, artists of diverse cultural backgrounds, as well as esoteric and occult artists. He also includes outsider, marginalized, self taught artists, and artists whose visionary practices placed them outside of the mainstream art world.
BLAM Mission Statement
At the core, BLAM is an exhibition model focused on creating a synergy between artists in Los Angeles and Brooklyn. These bi coastal, multi-platform exhibition spaces in downtown Los Angeles and Bushwick are designed to showcase a wide range of artists and curators. The goal is to introduce the wealth of talent in both communities to a wider audience of art lovers, art writers, curators and collectors. The spaces also brings selected artists/curator from other states and countries to audiences in the two cities. Each coast differs slightly from one another, constantly adapting and adjusting based on what works best for each city.
For each show at BLAM Brooklyn, we seek out a curator whose vision in which we trust and believe in. The individual shows can differ in personality and mood, however BLAM always aims to exhibit respectable artists that are distinctly recognizable and push boundaries. We lean towards intellectually and visually stimulating art, that a wide audience can identify with and be excited by.

Lost Dreams On Canvas
It was a privilege and honor to do this portrait for Lost Dreams on Canvas of Jerome Salley. Time is ephemeral, be thankful to live and love another day <3
Jerome Salley
18 years old
January 26, 1991 – November 17, 2009
Jerome, nicknamed “Bodda,” was a miracle baby – he was only 2 lbs, 3 oz at birth. He was not supposed to arrive til March.
He had a lot of friends – he was well liked. Jerome loved to make people laugh. He was very creative – he was a good photographer and also enjoyed being photographed as a model. He loved singing and dancing.
He was a lady’s man –– he was charming, funny and good natured. More then anything, he loved his mom.
Jerome was a peacemaker. If he could help anyone he would. If he could break up a fight he would. If he could help someone improve their life he would.
He had recently graduated from Ben Franklin High School and attended his prom with his girlfriend. He was about to start a new job on November 18, but his life was cut short on November 17.
That night he told his mom he would be right back. “I’m going to play some basketball.” He left the house as 3:30. His mom, Virginia, stood at the door and watched him walk away. He blew her a kiss and she blew him a kiss. After the game, as Jerome was leaving the recreation center gun fire broke out. Everyone scrambled, but Jerome was shot in the neck. By 7:45 that evening Virginia received a phone call from the Hospital telling her he had been shot. When she arrived doctors informed her that Jerome didn’t make it.
“God gave him to me too soon and he left too soon” – said his mom. Jerome’s family and friends miss him and think of him everyday.Honey & Venom Group Exhibition

shishigami.com/srfa/Blanco_Nolen_Deirdr…Masks Of Courage: Defying True Identity
PRESS ADVISORY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GALLERY HOUSE IS PROUD TO PRESENT: "Masks of Courage: Defying True Identity" (Fine Art Group Exhibition - Brooklyn, New York)
Original works will be raffled off and auctioned to benefit the Natalia Ponce de León Foundation, a Colombian organization that supports acid attack survivors and works towards the end of acid violence.
Opening Receptions: Thursday April 28th & May 5th, 2016 and by appointment.
“Masks of Courage: Defying True Identity” will take the viewers through a journey that separates the sense of self worth from external attributes of identity, to ultimately confront them to the reality acid attack victims experience.
The show challenges the collection of attributes that defines how we see ourselves, and how others perceive us. Our face, body, language, relationships, what we wear, like and own, paints an image of who we are. But what happens when we take those things away? Who are we then? In that spirit, we are delighted to work with artists who inquire and/or answer the question: “Who am I?". Selected art works will be donated and all profits will go to the non-profit Natalia Ponce de León Foundation.
When: Thursday April 28th and May 5th, 2016 from 7pm – 11pm
Where: Gallery House, 272 Clinton Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11205

Natalia Ponce de León Foundation defends, promotes and protects the human rights of victims of chemical attacks. Natalia Ponce, a 35 year old Colombian, had a liter of sulfuric acid thrown over her face and body, March 27, 2014. She suffered 3rd degrees burns on a quarter of her body. Less than two years later, she has founded this organization and successfully campaigned for the amendment of a law that prosecutes the attackers, protects the victims and regulates acid sale.

6pm to 9pm
www.shishigami.com/srfa/multi/
Stephen Romano Gallery in collaboration with curators Kalyana Thiru and Nyahzul Art, is pleased to bring you "Interpreters Multimedia", a live dance performance, video, live vocal performance, conceptual Dj performance, and live make-up art interpretation of the gallery's current exhibitions.
www.shishigami.com/srfa/Exhiball3.html
This first installment is part of a series called "Interpreters Multimedia: It is a Meaningful Life". Here, the exploration of the "grotesque" by William Mortensen, the ritualistic withcraft practices captured in Rik Garrett's Earth Magic, the personal recounting and symbolism photographed by Lu Zhang, and the voodoo artefacts, spellbooks, ghostly explorations, and aesthetics of the macarbre and illusion of In Missa Interfectionis are perceived as the artist/practioner's attempt at finding meaning. The performers are connected to art in which their respective process into the darker elements of the self, psyche, aesthetic and esoteric are explored and expressed. Each performer shows a slight awareness and sensitivity to their surrounding art and fellow performer. The viewer is invited to experience a "feeling" of perhaps synesthesia of overall mood, as well as its detail.
Performances
6:00pm-9:00pm
Zak Moon will play the darker side of his soulful minimal techno, deep house selections to introduce you to this evening's mood.

About the Vocalist
Andru Pramuk
“Andrak is not just my solo project, it's a space for my subconscious to emerge. Andrak is storytelling through song. Andrak is a universal, androgynous character; he exists in nighttime, in dreams, in memories. He is a sort of contemporary cabaret, a modernist dealing with song in a digital landscape.”About the Videographer
Eman Akram Nader

About the Dj
Born in Paris in the early 90s, young music selector Zak Moon has just recently relocated to his second birthright home of New York City. Falling in love with electronic rhythms at an early age meant his ascension as a DJ and producer, shortly after arriving on the other side of the Atlantic he was thrust into a buzzing scene full of opportunities and quickly became a very well regarded artist playing inside clubs such as Output, Sankeys and for the renowned Blkmarket Membership event group amongst many others. His precise touch and carefully chosen blend of House, Techno, Minimal and Ambient music is sure to convey an inspiring journey of emotion.About the curators

She has a lush colorful oil painting style. Her paintings evoke surrealist and romantic narratives along with forgotten magic. They are as purposely imperfect as life is complex.
www.nyahzulart.comKalyana Thiru started the "Patternbraker" project in 2007 purely as a personal daily written record of her uncovering philosophy from lucid dreaming. In 2013, she began to make mandalas out of raw photographs to project optimism on dismal circumstances. She was adament to make these mandalas without retouching to preserve its raw identity. What she found was that the imagined, abstract reality she created also maintained the raw identity of the original image, thus triggering the analytical centers of the mind to uncover its "meaning". "Patternbreaker" is about polarity of extremes and their necessity in experience in order to trigger is full meaning and definition. The project furthers into an imaginary "Pattern" Movement as a personal express of her dissatisfaction with the Modernist's assertion of "a meaningless life".

FAKELORE: Fables and Legends of the Americas
Rabbithole is proud to present:
FAKELORE: Fables and Legends of the AmericasOpening Reception:
Thursday, Nov. 6th
6-10PMFAKELORE: Fables and Legends of the Americas is a stop motion animation anthology narrating folktales from North and South American countries. This exhibition includes projection screenings of the first three episodes: United States's Pecos Bill, Colombia's Madremonte, and Canada's La Chasse-galerie, and installation of costumes, photographs, and props built for each.
The project retells our ancestorsʼ stories through a combination of traditional stop motion animation, digital techniques, and large scale sets. Each story is photographed from an overhead perspective, with the camera being rigged high above and the ground being the background stage, with real actors and props built to scale. Each story is filmed with a style unique to its country; from the sepia-toned Wild West, to a lush vibrant Colombian forest, and a wintery Canadian canoe floating in the sky.
The term "Fakelore" was coined by folklorist Richard Dorson, for larger audiences. His term references the further removal and fabrication of an oral folktale to appease the masses. These tall tales, while not based on real people, say a lot about natives' cultures and values. The series spins this definition through reinterpreting these tales to re-engage a digital audience.
FAKELORE is created, directed and produced by Caroline Voagen Nelson, Nyahzul, and Maria Paula Abadia
The series has been in development since 2012 and so far a recipient of the Brooklyn Arts Council 2014 grant and "Editor's Choice Award" at this year's Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science. FAKELORE is also creating workshops to teach children folk tales through stop -motion and the raspberry pi technology.

Mira Alibek, Phil Buchanan, Elisa Dallas, Angelo Franco, Cristina Garcia, Camilo Hernandez, Raymond Klecker, Paola Nunez, Camilo Pinto, Johannah O'Donnell, Pam Treadwell and Catalina ToroIn our day and age of constant, continuous, and instantaneous connectivity via our technological communications we think we are closer to one another yet in reality, we are much further apart. We share, we like, we tweet, and we comment but how often do we debate at length on literature, wax exhaustively regarding brushstroke techniques, or lose our minds in a lengthy impromptu musical solo performance? We connect but its as fleeting as a rock skipping across the smooth surface of a silent river. We are so very far away from the intimate and intense days of salon show when peers, colleagues, and friends exposed their art and their ideas to a group of individuals collected for the singular connection of fostering, critiquing, and protecting the cultural production of the day. In the spirit of returning to the intention of historical salons and academies and returning to a more natural state of discourse and hopefully a more natural state of ourselves.
