Keith Haring: The Ten Commandments
Date: Sunday, December 21stTime: 2:00pm - 8:00pm
Location: Deitch Projects in Long Island City (4-40 44th Drive, Queens) Cost: Free

The Ten Commandments, one of Keith Haring’s most powerful series of paintings, will be presented at Deitch Studios, Long Island City, from November 8, 2008 – February 15, 2009. The works portray the Ten Commandments from Haring’s point of view, combining a traditional Biblical interpretation with the artist’s liberating spirit and apocalyptic vision. The Ten Commandments were painted for Haring’s first solo museum show, a 1985 exhibition at the CAPC, Bordeaux, a reconverted wool warehouse with a span of twenty-five foot high archways supporting the roof. Thinking about how to best use the space, known as “the nave,” Haring had the inspiration to order ten tablet shaped canvases to fit within the arches. While on the dance floor at the Paradise Garage the day before leaving for Bordeaux, he had a vision to paint The Ten Commandments.

AARON DOUGLAS (Modernist/Philanthropist/Educator/SuperDOPE!)

Aaron Douglas is a gem of the Harlem Renaissance. His artwork personified the resiliency and tenacity that was the essence of African America in the 1920's. He was born just before the turn of the century, 1899 in Topeka, Kansas. He used his love for the arts to establish himself as an local painter, later attaining a M.F.A. from University of Nebraska in 1922.

Be that a success in itself, he began to teach arts in nearby Lincoln High School and soon after moved to Harlem, then epicenter of black thought, to test the waters. He left with no inclintation as to whether he would find work as an artist or if he did, whether his work would be accepted by those who had namesakes. Joining the New Negro Movement of the Harlem Renaissance, he flourished and his pictures last as both relics of that era and examples by which many artist follow to this day.

As a Modern artist he put the art world on its ear by combining the themes of slavery, black empowerment and the more contemporary ideas of industry, self image and racial and social identity. His work was featured in publications from Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, social magazines of the period and his work has been prominently displayed throughout Fisk University and its varying departments. I visited the Smithsonian this summer and was blown away.

Put simply, He's SUPERDOPE! If you can, check him out @:http://www.aarondouglas.ku.edu/

AUTO-SEX... Best... Kicks... Ever!

Jim Greco’s signature model, the Suprano High, gets the royal treatment with a tonal metallic purple upper. Staying in tune with Supra’s production of more color friendly high top sneakers, the Suprano surely holds it own with the arrival of Terry Kennedy’s signature kicks waiting on deck. Fully equipped with SupraFoam cushioning, mesh ventilation and Velcro support, this special colorway is set to release in early January 2009 at select Supra retailers including Factory 413.

Best Movie Ever!

I could picture DJ Khaled at sundance when this movie was over wildin' and shit (GoHard, WeTheBest, HeWasOutThereGrindin', He'sGoingIn!, etc.!) I am late as hell... but I saw it for free.99. I thinking about getting an air compressor right now... right now-right now...!

Noone on the corner has swagger like... PUNK! (DAFT PUNK that is...)

Words Via HypeTrak:

Daft Punk’s Electroma is a cult classic film directed by the legendary French Electronic duo. The plot revolves around two robots trek across the American landscape and their quest to become more human. The film is engulfed in the groups signature synthesizer stabs and bleeps as it’s soundtrack and score backdrop. If you have yet to see the film you’re not alone. The movie never formally debuted on screens, only enjoying a few festival and tour screenings as well as a DVD and Blu Ray distribution. However, this Friday you can view the film for free for one night only by setting your web browser to PitchforkTV. The movie will be shown on the site on Friday, December 12th 8 p.m. EST and concludes precisely 24 hours later, aka 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 13th. Check out the original trailer to the film above and be sure to catch the screening tomorrow.

KAWS Exhibit Twerk

So I of course missed the opening, but still a great experience regardless. KAWS has been a pioneer in taking abstract themes and pop culture icons and melding them in a fusion of coolness. This was me and my man Rell @ the Gehry/Lopez... almost got slandered by the deskhelp until we told them we were there to see some "graffiti"... thanks blanco!
