Social Goings On

Some interesting events I've heard about via Friendsters. We know I love cheap ways to get out of the house, but I don't plan to steal the thunder from my go to sources:

BURN: New works by Hef.One a.k.a HEF a.k.a Jamie MK

Inspired by his upcoming clothing line, Jamie MK moves away from his love affair with aerosol art into a world of painting influenced by the graffiti experience. The opening reception is this Friday, January 16th.from 6pm - 10pm with an open bar all night long!

Location: McCaig-Welles Gallery, 129 Roebling between Metropolitan and North 4th Streets Williamsburg. L train to Lorimer stop or G train to Metropolitan Ave. - 718.384.8729

Exhibition: BURN includes several small and large scale works, all oil on canvas. The subject matter varies between seductive, surreal pinups, animorphs that resemble Japanimation cells, and dramatic skulls that challenge and engage the
observer.

Ambience: DJ's Lase and Teflon Don spin the hottest old and new school joints for your listening pleasure.

Run Dates: January 16th - February 6th, 2004

Jamie MK (HEF) was inspired by the graffiti movement that swept New York City in the early eighties and has been painting for the last 20 years. He has been commissioned by major corporations such as Budweiser and Nation's Rent for commercial art murals. His work can be viewed throughout NY's five boroughs and in several European cities.

Join us on January 20th at 7pm for We've Come Undone, a series of monologues created and performed by NYC artivist Kayhan Irani. We've Come Undone is an often humorous, sometimes touching - but always provocative - look at the impact of recent legislation on Arab, Muslim and South Asian communities within the U.S. Using research and personal interviews, the monologues portray women and girls struggling to make sense of life in an America caught in the grip of distrust.
