"Please Save Maria Kondratiev" with Katie Mullins & zine library

Saturday, September 17 at 7:00pm - September 18 at 1:00am
Darling House, 496 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY
We are located at the corner of Broadway and Union - Lorimer JMZ, Broadway G, or a ten minute walk from the Lorimer L. Look for the glass door, ring top buzzer.

Please join us for an evening with new paintings and drawings by Brooklyn-based artist Maria Kondratiev. In addition to the works created in her studio, Maria is bringing a can of paint and a brush to prepare a kind of anti-trompe l'oeil throughout our living space. Her forms transcribed from dreams - drawn resolutely yet impulsively, whimsical and depressed - hint at the underbelly of yearning. At the same time they address the... necessary human thing that is desire, and the humorous thing that is emerging self-awareness.
Music will be provided by the wonderful Katie Mullins. (http://katiemullinsmusic.com/)
Coinciding with the Brooklyn Book Festival we will also be hosting a small zine library featuring chapbooks by James Yeh, illustrated by Andrew Bulger, interview and other booklets by Temporary Services, prints by Rand Renfrow, and comics by Mark Hensel. Zines will be available for purchase.
Drinks and foods will be present, but please also BYOB. Bring your friends.

Upcoming show: "Confluence" Opens April 10th

Confluence: a place where things merge or flow together. This is the theme for our upcoming show. The concept is bringing in visiting artists from various place and merge together with a local artist. This concept brings perspectives that we may not get here in Eastern Oregon and an opportunity to view interesting new works. So we thought it was a good idea.
We will be featuring the work of Nathan Orton (Portland, OR), Maria Kondratiev (New York), and some additional works by our own Eric Coon.
Please plan to join us for the opening reception. 6-9pm on Friday April 10th, 2009.
More information and complete show details coming soon. Please check the website for updates.
