We couldn’t be happier to have Sarah showing here THIS Saturday, January 21st! There is a line between artists and people who make stuff, Sarah is a true artist. I’ve been fortunate enough to see her work progress, and cannot wait to see what she’s come up with. Haunting faces made of found objects and ceramic will be peering from our walls ready to go home with you…
I have always enjoyed clocks, watches or any time telling devices. Ben Broyde has created a time telling device that tickles my fancy, orlogin. “israeli designer ben broyde has created the clock series entitled ‘orlogin’. his project functions as a realized research project regarding the use of two dimensional sketches in design and the way in which an artist relates to this planning medium. due to the layering of the sketch, there is an ease present to the production of a three dimensional product. the construction process of ‘orlogin’ was accomplished as if the three dimensional object were quickly sketched by hand, and they are completed without any post-construction finishing.” and see more at designboom.
In this episode of Here Comes the Neighborhood, Kunle Martins aka EARSNOT, founder of the IRAK CREW, along with Jesse Geller aka NEMEL break down the importance of good penmanship, the difference between murals and graffiti, and the concept behind their “tagging mosaic” in Wynwood. Stealing, masturbation and other compulsive behaviors are also addressed.

With Etsy becoming ever more popular, artists from around the globe are being brought out of the dark reaches of their reclusive studios and getting in touch with a whole new audience. In reality the picture does not even contain a tenth of the drama in that first sentence, but you get the point I’m making. Etsy is connecting artists with people who never would have found them otherwise, like Ben Kandel from Turning Pro. Ben’s wood turning creations are amazing, and this video showing his shop and process is equally inspiring. Check it out!
On January 7th, 6-9pm Slingluff Gallery will be hosting a group show benefiting Penn Treaty Park.
