New yorkers, you should head to this. Lyra is one of the most talented people in Chicago, and she puts together one hell of an event!

cakechicago:

BRAIN FRAME, the performative comix reading series (and Chicago’s most valuable export) is coming to New York. Watch six artists from around the country mount the pulpit to interpret their comics and zines with maximum force. Musical histories, landscape gifs, a UFO puppet, photos of forgotten females, horror crystals, and a vajazzling cat are just are few of the many splendors on imminent display. Laugh, cry, sit back, and relax // expanded comix // expanded minds.

Wed, 30 May 2012 03:13:43 -0400

What 1500 live ladybugs look like and the crazy bag that they were shipped in. Released in the garden today to chow down on aphids! I was told by a my entomology professor once that I was a “closet entomologist.” At 32 and ordering bags and boxes of thousands of insects (on a somewhat frequent basis), I’m starting to believe him…

Wuz up

Too much going on! Finally blogged about it all at: http://carolinepaquita.blogspot.com/

Essential Hues closing hangout tomorrow!

Sat, 12 May 2012 15:25:05 -0400

Last chance to see the Essential Hues group show featuring new artwork by Caroline Paquita, Adee Roberson, Sam Lopes, Caitlin Rose and Anna Luisa Petrisko.

Come chill with us from 3-6pm and enjoy the artwork or perhaps take a piece home with you? Many of the pieces are sliding scale & affordable.

BYOB. CHILL. ART.

1109 Dekalb Ave, Brooklyn
* * * * *

We live in a world surrounded by color. We lead colorful lives. We make colorful work.

As artists who identify as queers, feminists, people of color, spell-casters and radicals, our work is saturated with the chroma of the vibrant lives and communities we have created and shared over the past decade and across geographic divides. Our histories are entwined, and color embodies the bright hues of the threads of collectivity, sexuality, gender, family, history and magic that bind us together.

Featuring paintings, works on paper, sculpture, textile art, video, and more, Essential Hues is a collaborative installation.

Free reading this Saturday at the Essential Hues show

Wed, 02 May 2012 23:21:04 -0400

“What We Do Is Secret” Free Reading 5/5/12 4-6 p.m. at the Essential Hues Art Show at Wayfarer’s Studio

Where: Wayfarer’s Studio, 1109 DeKalb @ Broadway, Brooklyn (J train to Kosciuszko or M train to Myrtle)

Why: A collaboration with our friends, who are showing in Essential Hues, a collaborative group show featuring the work of Adee Roberson, Anna Luisa Petrisko, Caitlin Sweet, Caroline Paquita, and Sam Lopes. The exhibit includes paintings, works on paper, sculpture, textile art, video, and more. This collaborative installation will be up until May 13th, 2012.

Another awesome review of FAG SCHOOL #4

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 01:56:43 -0400

“Fag School is kind of my fantasy of what a queer punk zine could and probably ought to be. It captures a voice, a personality, a perspective. It’s smart, fun to read, informative, emotional, and portable. There are spelling and typing mistakes. It’s not elaborately designed. It’s immediate. It makes my heart beat much faster. Go buy it!”

-Billy Cheer
