Not Out Of The Woods Yet

Can you believe it? Another art show is opening at Everbrite Mercantile Co. this Saturday.



Not Out Of The Woods Yet reflects Alejandro Teichberg's semi-urban perspective of nature from which he is inseparable, yet alienated. Teichberg weaves natural themes together with personal memory, and allegory into landscapes that represent his psychic environment.

Just like our bodies react to exposure, so do our minds, well- marinated in processed foods and sensory overload. As every minute is layered with contradiction- tinged truths, the definition of nature expands while the very edges of the woods shrink. Despite these discords the mind ties the loose ends into a relatively uniform whole.

Alé, a old friend from my Richmond days, will be showing his collection of richly painted canvases. The opening will include intermittent sounds by ambient-experimental project Muilch.

this is yer brain on drugs

Finery, frippery, gee-gaws, gadgets and ephemera.
Quite a few things you've never seen in your life up to now.
Uncommon fanciful things.
Obscure objects of desire.

There is a critical mass of such stuff at our Red Hook store at the moment.

Behollllld:

Things from rural Pennsylvania farm country strewn about the front.

A rifle case. It probably had a .22 bolt action in it at one time. I made a rubberband assault rifle that fits perfectly inside.

Look. He's smiling.

All sorts o' stuff - jewelry, Pop Chart Lab posters, vintage shoes...

Ye Olde cardiac monitor.

A 52-year-old painted bamboo calendar. We have a selection of these with various artwork screened on them.

Decades old lighters. They all light on the first strike.

Jao in the house, sharing space with Patent medicine bottles from the 1800s

Kreepy Dolls. Always unique: Never the same doll twice.

Mmmmm, this death is cool and refreshing. It has the "Thinking man's filter and the Smoking man's taste"
No wait that's Viceroys, sorry.

Who doesn't like mugs? No one doesn't like mugs.

I got yer mudra right here, buddy!

shapes

circles, squares, rectangles




surrender the fixation on words.
replace with fascination for shapes and horrible Photoshop filters

Celebrating Our Nation's Independence

In-store purchases this weekend in Red Hook get an extra bonus.






These vintage magazines are actually lightweight compared to the stuff your 10-year-old regularly views on the interwebs here. They also contain some hard-nosed political criticism - you know: to balance out the sleaziness. Much of the same issues we face today are echoed in the pages of these 70s thru 90s "smut" publications.

delicious retro fragments of the Historical Record.

...and a session of intuitive bodywork broke out

We've had Gay Charleston dance parties manifest themselves, so really nothing is unexpected at what some locals refer to as "that crazy place".

so, yeah, anything is possible.

This evening: the gallery of Kegan Fisher paintings somehow became a sacred space for Felecia's own version of muscle-release bodywork which seemed to help Mollie immensely (and me too: while sprawled on the floor taking these pictures, some pain/cluster thing in my shoulder gave way.)

That's how things happen here in Mollie and B's Happy fun land: flow, recognize, re-flow... always spotting the magic.

So if you are interested in private yoga and/or bodywork sessions, Felecia is available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays here at the Everbrite space, $85 per session.

Kegan Fisher's CUSP OF CONFLUX

CUSP OF CONFLUX
Kegan Fisher
paintings & drawings
June 25 - July 31

CUSP OF CONFLUX explores the moment before everything ends. It seeks to capture time as so incomparably quiet, so impossibly still, that we are unaware if movement persists.

Kegan Fisher's new collection of paintings and drawings is composed of works constructed around horizon lines, tight as skin stretched around sockets, full of memory and yesterday. Worlds are full of elemental structures that have long outlived their architects. Skies droop like wet cotton, with clouds hung up to dry.

Fisher's artwork encapsulates the point at which development has ceased, cities are empty, and we stand as voyeurs, witness to a silent future.
