November 4, 2009 - Wednesday 

You are invited. Friday November 6th.

RADAR EYES, an exhibition of hallucinogenic prints curated by Canadian printmaking duo Seripop, Chicago gallerist Reuben Kinkaid, and The Space L.I.C. will open Friday, November 6th, 7pm at Fardom Gallery, 25-17 41st Avenue, Long Island City. Around the corner, a secret space will stash many more prints and a new installation by NYC artist Sakura Maku. Gallery goers will enjoy an exciting dual-opening of hundreds of works evoking altered states, perpetual distortions, and outright hallucinations. 

Including works by Le Dernier Cri (Marseilles, France), Xander Marro and Lief Goldberg (Providence, RI), Dutch Illustrator Zeloot, Minneapolis-based Danimal, and Seripop (Montreal), this show offers a mind-expanding aesthetic experience for all.

RADAR EYES debuted in 2008 at the Co-Prosperity Sphere (Chicago), home of the Public Media Institute.  RADAR EYES will travel to Glasgow, U.K. early spring of 2010.  This edition of the exhibition was made possible by NYC artist's collaborative The Space, which has been dedicated to the use of underutilized properties in the name of art since 2001.


Fardom Gallery is open Mon and Fri 12-9, Thu and Sat 12-6.  Show runs Fri Nov 6 thru Wed Dec 2.  Opening reception will be from 7 to 9 pm Trains: F (21st Street/ Queensbridge), 7NW (Queensboro Plaza), EVGR (Queensplaza)  

Proper wine & cheese throughout the opening. Jams from Dj Ej from 9pm onward.

There is an all-encompassing chorus of insects. Perhaps frogs. Night sounds. Vague illumination is provided by the diffuse glow of the windows and a trio of candles arrayed around a custom-built wood-housed organ, but the scattered stars most draw the eye. As well as, by their barest gleam, the dim form that picks its way between, swinging a bunch of smoldering incense like a somnambulant priest bearing a censer. Organ notes cycle blankly against the swirl of natural sound. "Each life, a light." The air is sweet and smoke-embellished.
He calls himself Mudboy, but his manner suggests not such simple, earthy origins, but ceremony and reverence. There is something otherworldy about his motions. His recitation builds in force, then quiets. We are told we are standing in a field, and almost believe it. Back at the organ, new notes lurk amid the prior loops; fingers twist their sounds into new, dissonant shapes that dart and wander.
He is speaking again, as the sounds turn more violent, begin to claw, mewling, from shadowed speaker mouths. "I am Pig!" Words delivered as a kind of curse. Motions becoming shakier, more forceful as he crosses and recrosses the gulf of stars before us. "When I approach, babies get up and run." Sounds building to cacaphony, tones overlapping and annihilating eachother. An animal stirs at my back, just someone's dog, but the effect is startling. More startling, Mudboy's words are suddenly being echoed into angered incomprehensibility. His eyes blink bitter red. With a lunge, we are suddenly blinded. There is a roaring in our ears, vision swims to make sense. As he spins, we see: he grasps one of the droplights, turning its harsh light directly down on us as he calls out again. And then he is swinging that light by its cord. A comet arcing just over our heads. The audience is transfixed, or I am; I am no longer aware of them around me. And then the roar breachs and falls away, the light dying, all easing out more careful organ sequences and wearied, stumbling drums.

Last Wishes by mudboy opens at Red House

Red House Arts Center opens the 2009-10 Gallery season with

mudboy.  “Last Wishes” will open in the Joan Lukas
Rothenberg Gallery on the second floor of Red House on

The opening will also act as an introduction to the

“Last Wishes” is a kinetic in the dark installation consisting of
several light ‘paintings.’  The kinetic paintings use handmade
optical projectors, LED lights and open source 8-bit controller technology to project a
constant moving image.
 
mudboy (Raphael Lyon) is an installation and sound artist specializing in the production of
wonder in dark spaces, magic in the lit ones, and meditations on the shape of life. He is
also closely associated with the concept of "Dark Cinema" and the production of
immersive, sound only narratives.  His piece Psicklops, a one hour dark cinema piece, will
be featured on the last night of ((audience)).
 
In addition to “Last Wishes,” Red House will also exhibit three pieces from Missouri artist
Barry Anderson, in cooperation with Syracuse University’s Light Work.  Treebeasties (I),
Vertical Blinds (II), and Pulp Kali will be on display on Red House’s three LCD monitors
throughout the building from September 17 until November 19.  
 
The opening of “Last Wishes” is free and open to the public as part of th3.  Festival passes
for ((audience)) will be available for purchase at the Red House box office during the
event.  For more information, call Red House at 315-425-0405 or email

"Oh my GOD. It's Mudboy and he creates the most dreamy music I've ever heard. If you're either drunk or 'high on crack', I think he can put you in a trance with his music and kidnap you to his hometown Portland, Rhode Island."
I love the idea of portland rhode island.
