The Game show exhibition

2011-05-17T08:10:00.000-07:00

About
Not to be confused with a TV Game Show, Game Show NYC (GSNYC) expands the concept of an Art Show by making the enjoyment of art an active and educative experience.

GSNYC will serve as a forum to bring together artists, educators, and game designers, with the purpose of engaging and educating the public. Game Show NYC builds on Game Show Detroit, which was held at the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit (CAID) in 2006. For details on the original exhibition please see: www.gameshowdetroit.com. Original organizers Fred Goodman, Andy Malone, and Nick Sousanis are joined by Suzanne Choo in jurying and putting on this exhibition and educational experience. They are now joined by Dr. Joey Lee, of Teachers College.

At the MOCCA Independent Comic Fair . . .

2008-07-17T13:56:00.000-07:00

artHARLEM artist Stephanie Mulvihill has launched a blog featuring new work as well as news about her participation as a teaching artist at the MOCCA Independent Comic Fair. . . .

" The Heritage School Manga Club published their first comic anthology. Six very committed students wrote and drew their own manga/comic stories. We were then very graciously offered a grant to publish from the Student Press Initiative. We decided to celebrate by presenting our book at the MOCCA independent comic fair at the Puck Building in NYC. Our students were very proud, signing autographs, shaking hands etc. It was a fun weekend . . . "

Janice Taylor at Hue-Man Books

2008-06-16T21:22:00.000-07:00

Dear All ...

I am pleased to announce that I will be speaking at Hue-Man Books
(Frederick Douglas Blvd. between 124 & 125 Streets)
on Wednesday, June 25 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Although my book - All Is Forgiven, Move On: Our Lady of Weight Loss's
101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville - looks and tastes
like a weight loss book, it is NOT.

At its heart, it is about transformation, reinvention, forgiveness,
happiness and loving oneself.

Pat Farnack, WCBS 880 radio said that I was "profound."
O, The Oprah magazine proclaimed me a "kooky genius."
And the Chicago Herald said that I may seem "one French fry short of a Happy Meal, but when you think about what she's saying it begins to make sense."

There you have it. One fry short, kooky and profound.

Hope you are able to come and support me and Hue-Man Books,
the only African-American bookstore in the city, which ONLY
invites African-American authors to speak.
Perfect!

Spread the word (NOT the icing!).

Deliciously yours,

Janice Taylor
Life Coach/Hypnotist, Author

UPTOWN/DOWNTOWN

How do you define uptown or downtown work? Is the idea grounded in geography? Community? Aesthetics? Are there uptown and downtown audiences? For eight weeks this spring we brought together a group of artists, five from 'uptown,' five from 'downtown,' to explore these questions while developing short works for performance.

Comfortable Paintings: Works on Silk

2008-05-01T14:39:00.000-07:00

Artist PJ Cobbs presents:
“Comfortable Paintings”, Works on Silk

May 3-May 31, 2008

Gallery Space
New York Public Library, Countee Cullen Branch
104 West 136th Street, Harlem, New York

Opening reception and silk-painting demo:
Saturday, May 3, 2008
2-4 p.m.

About the artist:
PJ Cobbs, is a former fashion columnist (New York Post) who gave up the Prada for a paintbrush.

The British-born Cobbs creates paintings on silk considering both form and function, whether it's a graphic scarf that can be mounted as a wall-hanging or pillow (as featured in the August 16, 2007 New York Times Home & Garden section), or her “Comfortable Paintings” series.

For this group of paintings, Cobbs explores the idea of comfort and function, integrating the tactility of the medium (silk has a reputation as being delicate, but is actually a strong fiber) with its usability. For instance, in “Tourists”, the napping visitors can either relax on a wall, or be strewn across couch. A self-portrait of Cobbs vacationing in St-Tropez makes the scene comfortable by being executed on a curtain. Her latest works include portraits-of people and the spaces they occupy. Her focus is on New York City, where buildings claim as much personality as the citizens they're built for.

PJ has exhibited worldwide, notably at the American Gallery in New York and was included in the Liverpool Biennial in 2006. She teaches silk painting at the JCC Manhattan and the New York and Brooklyn Public Libraries, and has taught in Hawaii at the Art School at Kapalua and the famed Hui No'eau in Maui. Her event companies, PJ's Painting Party and ART+BEAUTY bring silk painting to corporate and private parties. Most recently, she was an invited guest speaker (along with Ted Danson and Ed Begley, Jr.) at the recent Global Green 2008 Expo in April, 2008.

Cobbs has also created art-to-wear, spotted on Queen Latifah, Heidi Klum, Daisy Fuentes, and best-selling author Harriette Cole. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Essence, Continental Airlines, Uptown, New York Post, New York Daily News, Cigar Aficionado, House & Garden, Black Enterprise, Look Online.com, Fashion Wire Daily and Fiberarts.

“For me, painting on silk for fashion and function is a passion. In a time of fleeting, throwaway art, it transcends trends and it provides beauty to both the observer in its perfect, colorful form.”

Note: Use of library space by PJ Cobbs for this exhibit does not indicate endorsement by The New York Public Library. Groups by appointment.
