Community Rallies to Limit Two Trees Construction at Domino to Weekdays
Following the Community Board Land Use Committee meeting Monday night, I want to provide everyone with an update on the issue of Saturday construction at Domino. First, there are a few pertinent facts to be aware of:
– As of last year, Community Board #1 had already taken a position against Saturday and evening construction variances (i.e. the permits that allow developers to work outside of normal hours).
– The ultimate decision to grant Saturday variances to Two Trees is made by the Department of Buildings…the CB is one input into that decision.
– The Community Board stance has been ignored to date by the Dept. of Buildings which has been granting Two Trees construction variances during the demolition phase.
– It is unclear on what basis the DoB grants these variances in general or in this specific instance. Many variances, likely including the ones for Two Trees, are issued in the interest of “public safety”, which is another definition that we do not yet understand.
twohundredfiftysixcolors at Union Docs, 10/5
Crafted from over 3,000 animated GIFs, twohundredfiftysixcolors is an expansive and revealing portrait of what has become a zeitgeist medium. Once used primarily as an Internet page signpost, the file type has evolved into a nimble and ubiquitous tool for addressing everything from politics to pop-culture, madison ave to main st., and the labyrinthine multiverse of sub-cultures to the art world’s white cube. The film is a curated archive that functions as a historical document charting the GIF’s evolution, its connections to early cinema, and its contemporary cultural, political, and aesthetic possibilities.

Opening Reception, Pressure Point Group Exhibition at Outpost Artist Resources, 10/4
“Soft pressure is a tactic that uses almost unconscious modes of cultural/social domination occurring within the every-day habits maintained over conscious subjects. The more artfully the propaganda is camouflaged, the more it imperceptibly penetrates without being protested. These are the shrouded encounters at hand.”
“In Pressure Point I have brought together artists to demonstrate, with their concise concepts and skillful use of medium, an experiential analogy for the precision, knowledge, and dignity of kung fu and its soft pressure. The outcome is charged, collected, and delicately deadly.” -Alexandra Drewchin
