PRINCE PAUL TO ADD AUDIO TO VISUALS

PRINCE PAUL TO DJ THE OPENING RECEPTION OF:

MISS BUGS / JOE BLACK
"2 MANY ARTISTS'
OPENING RECEPTION APRIL 4th, 19:00
BrooklyniteGallery.com

Prince Paul has punched numerous holes through hip-hop. He joined Stetsasonic in 1984 as their DJ and later started producing and remixing artists like Big Daddy Kane, Boogie Down Productions, and Fine Young Cannibals. Through his inclusion of irreverent skits on De La Soul’s classic Three Feet High & Rising (one of the most creative, striking production jobs in hip hop history) he influenced the shape of every hip-hop album afterward, making the rapper’s sense of humor a major vehicle of putting your personality on wax.



After De La Soul, he teamed up with the RZA to form Gravediggaz. Still untouchable and unsurpassed, that music is essentially on its own plane. His solo album, Psychoanalysis (What is it?) is like nothing else in hip-hop and everyone should hear it. More recently, his incredibly diverse work from Handsome Boy Modeling School through his controversial “Politics of the Industry” has shown his ability to work with artists as far ranging as Cedric and Omar from the Mars Volta and Alec Empire. His latest work is Baby Elephant, an epic, harmonious interaction with legendary Parliament Funkadelic keyboard genius Bernie Worrell. Though extremely humble, he is consistently a gauge of what heights hip-hop may aspire to and will be live at Brooklynite April 4th.

REMED & ZBIOK "OWN THE BROOKLY(NITE)"

Simply put... last Saturday night belonged to two artists--- Remed and Zbiok. No matter what borough of NYC (and even some east coast states for that matter) you are from-- most were represented and braved a bit of a chill to see the exhibition entitled, "IT HURTS".

REMED spent the early part of the week leaving his mark throughout Brooklyn in a big way. Vibrant color & large scale murals with subject matter uniquely REMED can now be found on Malcolm X Blvd. in Bed-Stuy and Bergen Street in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (and we suspect other places too.)

At the gallery, Zbiok and Remed cleaned it up a bit and showed us they are not 'one trick ponies.' Both artists' exhibited works that showed a style and subject matter refreshingly new to New York City, which was also the prime reason for their pairing. Music producer MUX MOOL performed his special brand of lo-fi hip-hop which proved to be the perfect soundtrack for the night.

"IT HURTS" is meant to be an acknowledgment that everybody feels things strongly, that each of us is viscerally affected by people and events near to us. But even halfway around the world, a person or event can hit us like a force of nature. Loving someone so much it feels like an entity unto itself, feeling an overwhelming urge to change the world - nothing can make you more vulnerable, but nothing else will go as far as to amplify your joy.

NEWSFLASH - IT HURTS

IT HURTS

REMED / ZBIOK
February 28 - March 22

OPENING RECEPTION
FEBRUARY, 28th 7-9PM
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A troubled economy, a planet in peril, a new leader taking the helm …so many questions left unanswered … IT HURTS

Brooklynite Gallery however, will pass on the government bailout in favor of something better. Instead we present— ZBIOK and REMED, "IT HURTS" our new exhibition a.k.a. gallery-size healing force.



Parisian street artist, Remed takes every style past its due date and makes it fresh. Art Nouveau and "Free to be You and Me" graphics of the seventies are made strikingly contemporary. If you were to synthesize into a single body of work, the "New Image" of the early eighties with the graffiti writers who entered the New York art world around the same time. . . . Remed would emerge. Experienced with a limited time frame for execution, Remed solves color interactions quickly and accurately. The English language is manipulated with formidable typographic skill and a vicious sense of style. You know Remed is special when you see his transmutation of the curved arms of the French avant-garde. He's paid his dues, he's dubbing over history.

"Addicted to color". . . Polish street artist- Zbiok makes work that can have the same effect on its viewers. Rooted in post-Iron Curtain Poland, he has ties to punk and hip-hop, but his work looks like no other artist's associated with either. The feel of eighties graffiti is there as an intangible, not limited to any one visual cue. His imagery is far reaching in the sources of influence it indicates. Sometimes matching a political sensibility to his electric colors and pop savvy, Zbiok's pieces are immediate, while inviting longer meditation on their full complexity. In a recent interview he noted the influence of music on his work, highlighting his all-inclusive scope as "jazz to death metal." His characters and iconography feel refreshingly alien to American street art thus far.

"IT HURTS" is an acknowledgment that everybody feels things strongly, that each of us is viscerally affected by people and events near to us. But even halfway around the world, a person or event can hit us like a force of nature. Loving someone so much it feels like an entity unto itself, feeling an overwhelming urge to change the world – nothing can make you more vulnerable. But nothing else will go as far to amplify your joy.
