BROOKLYN MAKES at FEAST
I am proposing my project BROOKLYN MAKES, a video walking tour about manufacturing in North Brooklyn, for funding at the next FEAST dinner, 6-9pm on Saturday, August 8th, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
FEAST is a recurring public dinner designed to use community-driven financial support to democratically fund new and emerging art makers. At FEAST dinners, everyone pays a sliding scale for dinner and a fundraiser (suggested 10-20 dollars) and then votes on one of the proposed art projects by local artists to fund with the money made at the door. It should be a lovely event as usual, with delicious dinner & fun times.
Please come out and vote for my project if you’re in town!

Attachment Update
I visited Attachment with my brother on Thursday — here’s some updated photos. You can see it (and participate) on the 2nd Floor of the Gay and Lesbian Center at 208 West 13th Street near 7th Avenue in NYC through the end of August 2009.

ONE Williamsburg
Tomorrow I will be finishing my semester-long program with kids at the PS 16 YMCA After School in South Williamsburg. We explored our neighborhood through technology and made a website. Pretty exciting for fourth and fifth grade! If you’d like to check our out site, where you can see our pictures and hear our podcast, go here. We have a video as well, but I’m waiting to hear if we can post it online, because the kids star in it.
We called our project O.N.E. Williamsburg, for “Our Neighborhood Explored.” Please feel free to leave (kid-appropriate) comments!

The piece is up until Sept. 4, so please stop by The Center to participate and watch it grow (208 West 13th Street, near 7th Avenue, 2nd Floor, 9am-11pm daily).
I will post pictures throughout the summer. A couple people took really beautiful ones at the opening. Here are a selection of Megan Cronin’s:

Attachment
We installed ATTACHMENT at The Center yesterday. I am really happy with the way the piece is coming out. The only thing missing is community participation, which will begin next Thursday, May 28th, at the opening gala. I will post documentation as it progresses. The work will be up all summer and I look forward to discovering how it will grow. Please stop by 208 West 13th Street and visit the second floor if you are in NYC this summer.
Thanks to Mimi Smith for asking me to participate in this show, my collaborator Nathaniel Lieb, Chris Hanway and Ector Simpson at The Center, the lovely ladies who donated yarn, and everyone who offered input, especially my studiomates (Francisca Caporali, Laura Chipley, Pilar Ortiz and Mary Jeys) and my homies (Sabrina Lee, Rand Dadasovich, and Rachel Messer).

The Center Show
I will be showing ATTACHMENT, a new site specific installation at Then and Now: an exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Center Show at the LGBT Center on 13th Street this summer. The work is a collaboration with Nathaniel Lieb, an artist I met at I met at Brooklyn College.
2009 year marks the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the event that many consider the beginning of the gay rights movement in America. I was honored to be asked to participate in this show, as I have always felt myself a strong ally of the LGBT community. This show also marks the 20th year anniversary of the The Center Show:
In June 1989, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center hosted The Center Show, a legendary effort in which famous and emerging artists created site-specific works on the walls of the building in commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of the Stonewall riots. Several major figures in the art world such as Keith Haring, Leon Golub, Kenny Scharf, David LaChapelle, and Nancy Spero contributed to this groundbreaking event.
One of the artists from the original show, Mimi Smith, an inspiring woman who I met through _gaia, asked if I would like to participate. This summer, site specific works from the new artists will be on display at the Center alongside the original works from the 1989 show.

Thanks to all who came! It was wonderful to have so many friends, family members & colleagues there. Check out Chris Vongsawat pictures on flickr.
