Jules de Balincourt Issues Call to Arms Against Bushwick Gentrification

by Paddy Johnson and Whitney Kimball on June 9, 2013

Tired of being flushed out of their studios and homes, this time, artists have decided to fight for their stake in Bushwick.

Artists William Powhida and Jules de Balincourt—both all-too-familiar with Brooklyn developers—have been stoking the flames over Facebook and Twitter this week, to a whirlwind of response. They’re proposing the collective purchase of studio building, a project similar to that of Chicago based artist Theaster Gates. Gates, has been gathering multi source funding to buy and repurpose buildings, using a combination of non-profit funding and private investment. Given the trends in Soho, Chelsea, the Lower East Side, and Williamsburg, artists need feasible plans like Gates’ to maintain and build enclaves in New York.

Monday Links: Grown Up Art Partiers

by Paddy Johnson and Corinna Kirsch on May 27, 2013

Silent Barn, a young, under-the-radar residency off the M line in Bushwick, is trying to get a legal space. Even with their RV “hostel” (pictured above), they’re doing it through a mix of on-the-job learning and Kickstarter. Not really sure what the Times thinks about all this transformation in Bushwick, other than that these art-partiers are now growing up. [The New York Times]

Will the Detroit Institute of Arts sell off its art collection to settle the city’s debts? The Internet is up in arms about this. The likelihood of this happening is slim, and the museum’s already come out with a statement saying this can’t happen because the museum is in the public trust. “As far as we’re concerned,” DIA’s Director Graham W.J. Beal told the Times, “as objects held in the public trust, they actually don’t have a value. I know people find that odd.” In case you, too, are wondering why objects in a public trust have no value, ask Donn Zaretsky at the Art Law Blog. [Gawker, Detroit Free Press, The New York Times]

by Whitney Kimball on May 13, 2013

We’re feeling pretty lazy after the fairs, so lucky for us, our art has come pre-bundled. This week: three fairs are still open, Eyebeam launches its video festival, and PS1 continues its Expo on ecology. On Saturday, we get to choose between Redhook and Bushwick. Now all we need is a piggy back.

Tom Weinrich

by Whitney Kimball on April 30, 2013

Nothing’s in moderation with Tom Weinrich. Two years ago, Weinrich set out for Bushwick to start a woodshop business and his gallery Interstate Projects. It did so well that the venue was able to move from 56 Bogart to an expanded warehouse space down the road, quickly becoming one of Bushwick’s largest and most innovative [...]

Tuesday Links: Selfies, Tits, and the Big “D”

by Corinna Kirsch on April 9, 2013

Profiles are big this week. New York Magazine has taken on meme-creator BuzzFeed and its founder Jonah Peretti as a case study in too big to fail. Is $46 million in venture capital worth it? Well, maybe thanks to BuzzFeed’s “native advertising” approach where it’s become nearly impossible at times to distinguish advertising from actual content on the blog. Actually, all this talk about how novel advertising strategies are carving out a niche for online content is pretty big right now; that’s the focus of The New Yorker’s VICE profile from last week. Whew. [New York Magazine]
More and more mid-level dealers are participating in the smaller art fairs popping up around the country.
