i heART NEW YORK: Friday is ART hopping

FRIDAY is going to be more than one could handle in a night, but I am going to try to visit all 3 events below here...I don't get out these days very often (been feverishly working on some new pieces for my solo show in December), so I've gotta get some multi-sensory stimulation in for the whole week. So it turns out that there are two art shows I want to see on Friday, and they happen to be 3 blocks away from each other (see map below)...whew.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://hustlenomics101.com/flyer/Hustle08_flyerB.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://hustlenomics101.com/flyer/Hustle08_flyerB.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 650px;" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Come check out this dope show where art meets politricks, </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">organized by the <a href="http://hustlenomics101.blogspot.com/">Hustlenomics crew</a></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><a href="http://hustlenomics101.blogspot.com/">..</a>. </span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">I will have a few new previously unseen pieces in this show, and I am glad I had the</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"> opportunity to get some of my political thoughts out there on the canvas.

This year, the team invited a diverse range of artists to create and present art pieces encompassing the theme "Politricks". The artists will display their personal perspective on American or global politics. Since this year's event falls after the elections (in hopes that OBAMA is elected our President), it won't strictly be focused on the 2008 campaign. We've asked each artist to step outside the box and produce pieces that express how important and powerful politics has been throughout the turn of the century. These pieces will represent the impacts of politics and how its affected people of different race, demographics, economics, language and gender. Hustlenomics team is working hard to make this year's event really special!<br /></p><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><p class="style5" align="justify"><span style="font-weight: bold;">VISUAL ARTISTS </span>7-9pm FREE (Gallery Viewing)<br /></p><p class="style5" align="left">Miguel Angel Perez * Bor ish* Ana Bravo* Erin Yoshi* Juandoe* Tony Peralta* Crystal Clarity* Ron.j.nub* Shaun Turner* Romeo Rex* Lichiban* Marthalicia* Atomic<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OCjPa_mI84o/SRql1ywv_7I/AAAAAAAAB_8/9vodZ8GJGzA/s1600-h/map.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267705057741111218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OCjPa_mI84o/SRql1ywv_7I/AAAAAAAAB_8/9vodZ8GJGzA/s400/map.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 359px;" /></a><strong>PERFORMING LIVE </strong>Show Starts at 10pm<strong>:</strong><br />Blitz The Ambassador & The Embassy Ensemble<br />Wonway and The Park Band+Special Guests<br /><strong>Special Guest: LEMON from Def Poetry<br />Hosted by kahlili almustafa & Pattydukes</strong><br /></p><p class="style5" align="left"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DJS</span>:J-BOOGIE * BRAINCHILD* SCIENTIFIC aka ELAN VYTAL* Brina Payne* L.E* One Mic Rivera* Lucha</p><p class="style5" align="left">2 for 1 Drinks<br />$5-$20 sliding scale donation after 9pm</p><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">Depending on if you want to check out <a href="http://www.myspace.com/blitztheambassador">BLITZ THE AMBASSADOR</a> after the free gallery viewing at HUSTLENOMICS, or want to watch Shades of Brooklyn, the project of Sunshowah Films at the COUP D'ETAT show, you might choose to switch up the order of the gallery hopping. </span><br /><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img.ymlp11.com/HustleMode_CDTBKARTFLIER_2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img.ymlp11.com/HustleMode_CDTBKARTFLIER_2.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 394px; height: 430px;" /></a><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" ><a href="http://www.cdtbk.com/">Coup D'Etat fam</a> is holding their first annual art show in production with Sly Art Gallery / Robot City.<br /></span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >VISUAL ART: </span><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >Concep,</span><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" > Livingroom Johnson, One9</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >Photography: Alexandra Cespedes<br /></span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >the episode runs of DJ Moni's Friends We Love web series and Sunshowah Films will be in the house showing some of their work.<br /></span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" ><b>FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14th</b> Coup D'Etat Art @SlyArt vs. Robot City<br /></span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >425 Broadway (btw Canal & Howard) Trains: N/Q/R/W or 6 to Canal 7pm - 2am | $10 suggested donation art exhibition 7pm - 9:30pm</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >FILM screenings 9:30pm - 10:30pm short documentaries from Sunshowah Films</span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;" >Afterparty 10:30pm - 2am music by DJs Tahleim & Moni FLYER:</span></p><p></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.okayplayer.com/images/blast/bdk_backimage.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.okayplayer.com/images/blast/bdk_backimage.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 243px; height: 365px;" /></a></p> <p>Then you can hop on the Q/N and take it to Times Square to check out the<br /></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Big Daddy Kane's 20th Anniversary</span><br /></span></p><p><span style=";font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" > B.B.

ARTIST TO WATCH: GOOD DAY GOOD NIGHT

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">your mind ::: universe ::: heal ::: time travel ::: possibility ::: truth ::: leave ::: enter ::: future ::: together ::: we ::: one ::: always</span><br />This comes fresh from the source, my homie <a href="http://www.myspace.com/print2008">PRINT</a>. Getting to know many new-generation Brooklyn artists & movers-and-shakers made me realize how many of us are out there trying to put out art that has a subtle positive spiritual message, and that we are farthest from being plagued with apathy (I hope it's not just Brooklyn though, but we are definitely one of the centers of the ongoing artistic renaissance). I first heard Print and his band Good Day Good Night's album when I was painting my mural at the YUME loft gallery, and I really got into their music. I love this brilliant collab Print did with another Brooklyn fam member I've been supporting here for a while, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/londonwave">Theophilus Londo</a>n...if you want to get deeper into his mind, check my feature from a previous post <a href="http://lichiban.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-homies-rule-too-theophilus-london.html">here</a>.<br /><span style="font-size:100%;">the Print of GOOD DAY GOOD NIGHT Presents: Who Am I feat.

Artists such as Fresh Daily, Wordspit, Mickey Factz, Cocoa Sarai, Melo X, Rahsaan, Outasight, Theophilius London, Homeboy Sandman, and many other grace the record with their unique styles. Stay tuned for more on Print...

Obama is seen as the symbol of this, which is why he touched so many all over the world.
