Conceived by curator Krista Saunders as a physical gift registry devoted exclusively to work by emerging artists, The Art Snack Registry connects the art-curious to underrepresented artists living in the New York City area. The event is an opportunity to buy an original work of art (priced at $200 or less) in a fun, social environment. All of the artists on view will be in attendance and each purchase is accompanied by a "cheat sheet" with information about the artist and their piece.

The event will be held at Space on White at 81 White Street in Tribeca on Thursday, December 6 from 7 - 9pm.

This group of multinational and intergenerational artists, chosen by Vijay Kumar, reflects a broad range of life experiences and aesthetic values. The artists interpret diverse subject matter—figurative, abstract and conceptual—in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video, sculpture and installation. The resulting works often meld Indian and Western ideas about color, form and subject.

“WHITNEY’S BIENNIAL” OPENS AUGUST 28 FOR ONE WEEKEND ONLY

Brooklyn, NY – Thirty-Seven Artists are participating in the 2009 Whitney’s Biennial, opening at 70 Greenpoint Avenue (c.r.e.a.m. projects) on Friday August 28, 2009 from 7-11 PM, running through Sunday August 30, 2009. Gallery hours are 12-6 PM.

The 2009 Whitney’s Biennial is an interdisciplinary group exhibition, taking place in an unoccupied commercial space in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The exhibition re-envisions the ubiquitous Biennial formula by personalizing the institution, paring it down to a single person. Whitney is the proverbial Every Artist, the flesh-and-bone actor laboring under the shadows of giants. This is her Biennial.

The exhibition explores the dubious notion of the comeback and opens days before the release of Whitney Houston’s new album. In a moment when the entire world is waiting to see if and when the economy will recover, the artist is in need of a new strategy.

The participating artists are widely diverse — from those who have exhibited in major museums such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, to the graffiti artist, to the underground filmmaker, to the recent MFA graduate. All have been asked to meet on common ground, outside of the white cube, to create new works for this show.

The 2009 Whitney’s Biennial is organized by MaryKate Maher, Martha Mysko, Davida Nemeroff, Elise Rasmussen.

This annual participatory arts event on Governor's Island is happening from June 12 - 14, 2009. My piece, unchurned, is a participatory installation that draws upon specific aspects of traditional Hindu customs emphasizing Nature’s cyclical processes. Participants are invited to join in the creation of a rangoli drawing, filling in the colors by hand with rangoli powder, encircling a central ghee entity. Individuals will then also present offerings to the entity as it slowly transforms throughout the duration of the event.

Come see this "mail-art" exhibition at Local Project in L.I.C.! Curated by Renzo Ortega, this exhibition includes reflections from NYC residents on the Queens Sky. On view from May 29 - June 7, 2009. Opening reception May 31, 4 - 8 pm. In conjunction with Queens Art Express 09
