To dis-spell a rumor this was a closing party for Cynthia Bloom and Jens Brand's show at aMP
not a closing of the gallery. Their work will remain up for at least another month by appointment only. We will remain very much alive. We regret having to postpone the shows of Adam Simon and John Giglio.
Let's start a new rumor - look
for artMovingProjects or a gallery with a different name, same players to open in china town near the new museum fall/winter 2008. Cheers and thanks to all the performers for keeping the spirit real, surfing and burning. Also, Thanks to Dan Davidson who came up from New Mexico to help with installation which is continuing with hand made kites baring the i ching.

Cynthia Bloom

“Only the good die young”

Paintings, photographs, credit cards, and assorted items come out of a home prepared for sale to support her upcoming medical expenses. Also, savaged from the house the manuscripts for the “Happy Holocaust “ by J. Zvi Namenwirth and the definitive text in three volumes on Mahler by his brother Micha Namenwirth. A mother-son psychodrama.


A new fresh spring and a fresh new sound:
I want that this song rings as the birds call
That oft heard on a summer night
In an old town along the water way.
Inside, it was dark yet the silent street
Collected twilight, last rays shone late
In the sky, there fell a golden speckled shaft
Over the roofs into my window pane.
Next blew a youngster as on an organ pipe,
That shook ripely in the open sky
As mellow cherries do when a springtime wind
Awakes in the woods to start its trip.
It roams on bridges, and at waters edge,
So slowly going, blowing everywhere.
Chirping as a long bird, unaware
Of its joy over the evening’s quietude.
And many a spent man awaiting supper meal
Listened as if it were an old tale,
Smiling while the hand that closed the pane
Dawdled momentarily for the youngster sang.

At war, I did dream it was wartime yet:
A wooden airplane tumbled from the sky
And rockingly drove through the grass
To stop the groaning, singing, and relief.

From the sickly ark came wounded animals
Of each kind one, dragging feet to a tent
While I was to beautify this heavenly house
With grass, tree twigs, the fieri firmament.

Then what did I see on a long whitish table
But the white birdie with the bluest head
Just a blue fire that in the evening heat
Burns on a summery hillside top.

Was he badly hurt and should I care for him?
Firmly he clawed my finger tight.
Then, it was night. Blenchingly white
Removed the dawn when the sun appeared.

And, examing my own two tiny hands,
The finger that he clawed became blue.
I wrote this verse as the bird did burn:
He glanced back as to bless me as it seemed.

(in scripted Cynthia Bloom the last poem 1991 by John Ree aka J. Zvi Namenwirth)

With extremely close races shaping up in states across the country, we need to win every delegate we can in New York.

It's time to put an end to the say-anything-to-win politics of the past. Together we can face the challenges of the future with a new kind of politics and a new kind of leadership.

You have built an unprecedented grassroots network for Barack. You've made us competitive all across the country, so that for the first time in a very long time, every state, every delegate, and every vote will count.

Find your polling place -- then invite your friends and family to look up their polling places and vote for Barack this Tuesday, February 5th:

Dress Code

Dress Code
an exhibition curated by Liselot van der Heijden, presenting the works of Robert Boyd, Elke Lehmann, Jillian McDonald, and Momoyo Torimitsu.
January 10 - February 9, 2008
Opening, Thursday, January 10 from 6-8 pm
LMAKprojects, 526 west 26th Street # 310, NYC between 10 and 11 avenue
Dress Code emphasizes the social and emotional impact of clothing. Since the relationship between the body and the public sphere is mediated by clothes, the art projects in this exhibition understand clothing as a vehicle for generating meaning, situating the body as part of a larger social construction.
The projects in Dress Code use clothing to examine the construction of identity within specific cultural frameworks like consumer and corporate culture, fashion, gender stereotypes, and a location where fears and anxieties are both a personal and a collective experience. The artists use humor and irony to communicate these complex social issues to audiences often unaware that they are part of an artistic project.
The projects use various strategies such as performance, public intervention, displacement, ready-made objects, as well as subversion and appropriation of mainstream media, commercial exchange, commodity objects and advertising.

The Virgin Collection was conceived by Robert Boyd while traveling through southern Spain. He was struck by the number of bridal stores and by the white-hooded robes worn by members of the Roman Catholic fraternity known as Nazarenos during Holy Week. Merging the two forms of gender-specific robes into one harmonious yet disconcerting ensemble disrupts and questions roles of gender, while the Nazareno reference can be read as a Klan reference.

The juxtaposition of different attires becomes a disconcerting conglomerate of ideals-virgin purity, matrimony, beauty, fraternity, supremacy. The Virgin Collection functions as a dislocation of these ideals. The work is fundamentally political in nature but utilizes transgressive qualities of mimicry as its core. While neither didactic nor proselytizing, the work is simultaneously critical, bizarre, humorous and frightening. Through its biting humor, it asks that these ideals be reconsidered and viewed again.

For Re-Bagged: First Collection German artist Elke Lehmann shopped at mega-brand stores including H&M, Puma and GAP to select materials for her clothing/packaging hybrids. Lehmann then employed various strategies to insert each shopping bag (sometimes even including the receipt and change) into the garment it contained, creating pouches, sleeves, skirts, hoods and adjustable design elements.

Dissolving the boundaries between container and contained, Re-Bagged: First Collection collapses the effectiveness of seductive marketing displays. Lehmann's collection amplifies our consumer culture's emphasis on packaging, brand names and logos and ultimately issues of waste and recycling.

Seams by Canadian artist Jillian McDonald is part of her ongoing series of performance interventions in public spaces that attempt to wrest everyday activities from their usual associations. In a downtown Manhattan storefront, one year after September 11 2001, Macdonald invited passersby to lend an article of clothing of personal significance, for the length of the exhibition. When participants agreed she asked them to speak with her about their personal fears and anxieties. Fears and anxieties are based on our personal and collective experiences. McDonald translated each individual's fear into a personal protection message, to counter the fear. During 4 weeks, McDonald was present in the storefront, hand-embroidering into the seams and inverted places of these clothing items the individual messages for each owner. Seams was commissioned by The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

In the Miyata Jiro project Japanese artist Momoyo Torimitsu uses the stereotypical image of Japanese businessmen: "I made a life-size crawling robot as a corporate soldier to let him crawl on the streets of big cities in the world. It provoked a variety of different responses showing how people react to the stereotype and revealing their own cultural preconceptions."

The Miyata Jiro performances triggered a variety of different reactions on the streets in New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, ranging from smiles and amusement to anger, to worries from people who took him for a real person. In addition to the videos documenting Torimitsu's performances and the public's reactions, there will be documentation of "Non-art" media reactions to the project specifically made for this exhibition. These are mainstream news papers to gosship magazine, fashion magazine.

Dress Code was originally shown at the Art Gallery of The College of New Jersey.
