#opening receptions

We hit up the opening party for UXA’s new store at 99 Scott Ave in Bushwick Brooklyn. It felt like late 90’s Supreme with all the OG’s in attendance including Ryan Hickey, Joey Alvarez, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Alex Corporan, Dave Ortiz and Peter Huynh to name a few. Neighboring Bunker Vietnamese provided hors d’oeuvres, Pabst hooked up the beers and Selection Massale kept it classy with some wine.

With some help from adidas the UXA store is now open and will be focusing on concept-driven capsules with limited runs. The collaborative UXA co-branded products are something to seek out like their previous projects with Mark Gonzalez, Eli Reed, Zered Basset and most recently Ryan Hickey & Ari Marcopoulos. The UXA store is open from 3pm – 9pm, closed on Mondays.

George Hearts Maria @ Helium Cowboy! Sept 1st

We love this!

George Hearts Maria is a romantic and diverse pop up exhibition by Art Nerd New York's, Lori Zimmer. 

Lori Zimmer is the founder, writer and creative director for Art Nerd New York so we can only assume this show will be as thoughtful and lively as her articles for Art Nerd.

We are so looking forward to opening night!

Check out more about George Hearts Maria below. 

In 1785 Prince George of Wales fell in love with Maria Fitzherbert, a commoner. Because their love was forbidden, they each had miniatures of their eyes painted for one another, so that they could look deep into them always- without fear of being caught by the royal family.

Although he officially married another, he was buried with his token of Maria around his neck. Eye miniatures, or Lover’s Eyes, stayed popular through Victorian times, before fading out of fashion.

On September 1st, Art Nerd Invasion and Lori Zimmer present “George Hearts Maria,” a Victorian pop-up plucked out of history and taking root in Helium Cowboy’s summer group show. The parasitic gallery takes residence on the gallery floor, amidst the summer group show. Inside the appendage-gallery is a pristine Victorian sitting room, complete with a collection of eye miniatures.

“George Hearts Maria” asks contemporary artists to pay tribute to the star crossed lovers, and reinterpret the lost art historical tradition of eye miniatures, adding a modernist skew to the once romantic art movement.
