...and we are back! The Project Collective has been away for a while (and we sure have missed you), but we are coming back soon with a brand-spanking-new event. Subdivide will highlight the evolving idea: with construction, comes deconstruction. We are excited to present the work of eleven talented artists who are exploring this very idea. Proceeds of the show will support the efforts of Make the Road, New York. Stay tuned for the deets!
Huge thanks to the Dekalb Market, the participating artists, and community who came out last night for our fundraiser, and over the past month during our stay. We had a blast, met new friends, ate some delicious food and put on a great show, all while supporting a wonderful charity, UproarArt -- Not too shabby!
We're going to take a break to wind down from our time at the Market but we'll be back shortly. Stay tuned!
Jo Q. Nelson has created a thoughtful, witty, and often dreamy, body of work during her artistic explorations and interactions with space, architecture and environment.
I point at things with imposter light switches, scale models, tiny cameras and reconfigured spaces. In the pointing, something subtle that is usually ignored comes to light. I use installation, intervention, objects, proposals, and social practice as a means to analyze what a space is, how it is used, and to fantasize about what it could be. In the process I address issues of access, transgression, and the different ways we experience the same public and private spaces. By encouraging interaction and by bringing attention to our expectations of the places we move through everyday, I hope to encourage analysis and insights about both concrete and social structures.
We're excited to see how the unique space of the Dekalb Market has inspired her latest piece which will be installed tomorrow at our big fundraising event for UpRoar Art.
Yet another reason to drop by!
(More of Jo's work can be found here.)
Hayseed's Big City Farm Supply. is a pop-up shop dedicated to urban farming! A collaborative effort between the folks behind Brooklyn Grange, Domestic Construction and Brooklyn Homesteader, Hayseed’s will supply soil, compost, tools, seeds, books, chicken and rabbit feed, beekeeping supplies as well as other locally made, farm related sundries.
These amazing new friends have graciously donated planting soil, heirloom tomatoes, basil, onions, broccoli and eggplant seedlings for the potting activity tomorrow at our Dekalb Market fundraiser.
Please take the time to check them out, or even better... drop by and see their space. I assure you, the Domestic Construction ladies have created a magical space that's tucked away in an unexpected nook within industrial Greenpoint.
Many thanks, Ladies!

The next featured band to be playing at our upcoming fundraiser is Brooklyn, by way of Bogotá, based, Il abanico.
Il abanico is an Indie/Experimental band created in 2010 by Nicolás Losada (guitar) and Juliana Ronderos (Voice). They expose their personalities with innovative melodies, an upbeat rhythm section and unorthodox guitars. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, this duo recorded and self-released their first work “Crossing Colors” (February 2011), A 5 songs EP, recorded in well renowned Studio G in Brooklyn, NY.
In September 2011 they toured their way across the US in a successful 18-date tour which included cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Houston, Austin, San Diego and Los Angeles, amongst others. Having played over 90 shows this year, il abanico is currently living and working in Brooklyn, performing and writing material for their new album.
il abanico was part of the Offical SXSW 2012 and will be part of NXNE (Canada) in July 2012.
Like Marigold, their album is available, for free, through their bandcamp page.
Our big fundraising event this Saturday (June 2nd) at the Dekalb Market is quickly approaching! We thought it’d be great to do a daily highlight of each band set to play our musical showcase. If you’re digging the tunes over these here interwebs, you better believe they’ll sound even better in the open air of a Brooklyn summer night.
First up… Brooklyn’s Marigold (Richie Einhorn and Milah Libin) have a great album up at Bandcamp. They have this adorable, damn delightful vibe that is a bit The Head And The Heart (meets The Pretenders at times). Milah and Richie’s voices just mesh so perfectly with each other and you just don’t want them to stop singing. True story. You can download all of Marigold for free over at Bandcamp!”
