an out-of-doors art event featuring video, performance, installation and temporary artworks
Saturday, October 22nd 2011 from 3pm to 9pm
Halsey Street, New Street, Central Avenue and Broad Streets in Newark, NJ
Curators Jeanne Brasile and Jade Lien are pleased to announce their most recent curatorial collaboration on view during the 10th Annual Open Doors and Studio Tour sponsored by the Newark Arts Council. “Letting Go” will activate the block encompassed by New, Halsey and Broad Streets and Central Avenue with public displays and performances by over 50 participating artists. The exhibition is a discourse on the notion of catharsis, or emotional cleansing. Catharsis, or purging of emotions, produces profound feelings such as fear, sorrow, pity or even joy. In a broader sense, it can also refer to a sense of restoration, renewal, and revitalization; concepts that are poignant and greatly needed in this complicated emotional landscape we presently occupy.
Participating artists include; Kristin Anderson, Scot Andreason, Jacqueline Arias, Soraida Bedoya, Cynthia Berkshire, Ben Bernstein, Gianluca Bianchino, Mikel Bisbee-Durlam with Jody Wood, Christine -Jean Blaine, Boys and Girls Club of Newark, Collette Broeders, BroLab Collective, Sandra Burke, Giovanna Cecchetti, Russell Chartier, Bryan Christie & Jeremy Mage, Magenta del Ray, EGG, Mike Estabrook, Rico Fredrick, Jerry Gant, Kristin Grey, Bruce Humphries, Jones and Roa, Darren Jones, Jenna Kline, Samantha Marie La Alta, Greg Leshé, Timothy McMurray & Jacqueline Weaver, Aaron Oldenburg, Ben Pederson, Barbara Polster, Gerald Pryor, Sally Richardson, Tara Raye Russo, Kate & Beau Sage-Lindholm, Jesse Eric Schmidt, Kat Schneck, Narubi Selah, David Sinaguglia, DC Smith, Lauren Smith, Nyugen Smith, Mark Starling, Starski, Sara Suleman, TangenT and Heidi Zito.
Presented by Rogue Video + Performance, New Jersey.
Live Feed is a meditation on the increasingly complex ways the Internet automates our identities + interactions.
Alison Knowles Newspaper Music (1965) – a performance during which a variable number of people simultaneously read aloud from different newspapers – was the original inspiration for the basic form of Live Feed. For years, I’ve been fascinated with the way I acquire news, and more generally with the way we as a culture create, receive and share information about ourselves and current events.
Come see me perform the first iteration entitled, Me/assage Me, LIVE at H+R Block Artspace on Friday, October 14 from 6-8pm.

We’ve been in Kansas City for nearly two months now. The Organic Art Factory itself is taking off in new directions. Most recently, we completed two commissioned paintings for the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, and have begun work on a series of paintings entitled, The Air with Variations.
Teaching is going well at the Kansas City Art Institute and the University of Missouri – Kansas City.
We’ve also been writing a column as Lilika Ruby entitled Art & Sex for the online magazines, The Faster Times, and Ovi Magazine.
Stay tuned for details about an upcoming show…
An article by Ivan Moreno in the Associated Press (Denver):
“Colorado artists want to give a futuristic makeover to the rustic sheep wagons used by immigrant workers across the West.
Immigrants from Peru, Chile, Mexico and Nepal who come to the U.S. sometimes live in worn-out one-room trailers in desolate landscapes, including in Wyoming, California, and Utah. The working conditions caught the attention of Colorado lawmakers this year, but no legislation materialized…”
