__________________________________________

To kick off the second weekend of May – as the Frieze NYC and NADA art fairs bustle away at opposite ends of the East River – over a dozen galleries in the historic neighborhood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn open their doors to art seekers from near and far. Two local gallery directors, Lia Post of Fowler Arts Collective and Scott Chasse of Calico, have organized this event for Friday, May 10th from 6-9pm to shed light on the exceptional galleries and art organizations that call Greenpoint their home.

This free evening art stroll will be the first installment of regular Greenpoint gallery nights to be held throughout the year. Visitors are invited to explore the diverse array of exhibition spaces in the neighborhood which is also home to hundreds of working artists. Art seekers can meander through tree-lined streets, marvel at the amazing views of Manhattan across the East River, and sample local bars, restaurants, and shops as they wander to each participating gallery in this unique part of Brooklyn.

While NYC is sure to be buzzing over the art fairs the same weekend, Greenpoint Gallery Night offers a way for the public to support the home-grown galleries in their own backyard.

Afterparty at CoCo66 from 9pm onward!

Surrealist Slotcar Fury at Fountain Art Fair

The G-Spot returns to Fountain for a third year with the Surrealist Slotcar Fury.  Visitors will take part in live slotcar racing action, hosted by vocal acrobat ZeroBoy, alongside the Dada/Pop creations of Chris Smith and Karl Kotas.

Chris Smith aka “subtexture” is a Greenpoint, based artist influenced by pop-artists such as Ed Ruscha, Andy Warhol. and Robert Rauschenberg, and is inspired by cross-country road trips, roadside Americana, vintage car culture and pin-ups. www.subtexture.com

Karl Kotas is an artist whose work combines the iconography of cartoons, pop-art, underground surrealism, and figurative expressionism. Working big and raw, his influences include tribal art, pop culture, Japanese erotica, American kitch, and music. www.karlkotas.com

Entertainer and “vocal cartoonist” Zero Boy is an East Village icon who uses a unique blend of sound and mime, the results being something akin to a performed comic book. His Trailer Trash Slotcar Parties are a thing of legend.
