Drawing bikes at Copy Gallery

Copy Gallery was a stop during the recent RE Load April Fool's bike race. Damian, Miriam, and I made all of the racers draw their bikes. For some reason I don't have a pic of the bike we choose to be the winner. But these flicks may give you some idea of the action:

YOUR WEEKEND/WEEK IS BOOKED ALREADY (PHILADELPHIA):

4/9/08!!!! DAVE DUNN AND OTHER PALS AT PHILLY FILM FEST.

(text found on Copy's web-site)

The Philadelphia Film Festival is showing a program of short films on WEDNESDAY APRIL 9th featuring work by Copy member Dave Dunn and Space 1026 Member Ted Passon.

Dave is screening HELIUM BALLOON, a short video made from his one day show the ICA last year, and Ted is screening a short work-in-progress version of the SPACE 1026 DOCUMENTARY.

Also in the program are videos from a bunch of our pals including: Andrew Watson, Sara Zia Ebrahimi, Chris Thomas (showing a mindblowing work-in-progress animation for the Extraordinaires), and Ryan Trecartin showing an excerpt from his new work I-BE AREA starring lots of Philly kids.

Buy Tickets HERE before they sell out.

SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS IN APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4/11/08!!!!!! JAYSON MUSSON'S BOOK.

(text found in my electronic mail-box)

Hey all, Too Black for BET Episodes I & II have been released as a single volume by Free News Projects and this email is just a quick reminder that this Friday, April the 11th, I'll be having a small release party and exhibition of posters from both volumes in celebration of the book's release. The book itself is a perty little thing with an even pertier matte finish and it manages to pass off as an actual art book! William Pym of Philadelphia's Fleisher/Ollman Gallery kindly lent me some words in the form of a forward he wrote for the book as well. And since the book is only $15, it's a definite bargain and must have for your bathroom reading collection. The release party of course is free and I will have drank and hummous out the ying yang for all to eat and enjoy. Thanks for your time. -Jayson

UPDATES:

I'm bringing bike painter Taliah Lempert to Copy Gallery this April. The show is opening next week: Opens Friday, April 4th 6-11.

I'm writing an essay that takes painting the bike back to around Renaissance era and compares it with the old-school inclination to paint horses, there may even be a word or two in there about custom paintings in general. I promise to publish it here when it's done and also to have copies available at the gallery for the opening.

This painting show will also coincide with R.E.Load's 8th Annual April Fools Fun Ride (more info here.) which Copy salutes and supports. Bikes rule.

Below are some pictures I took when I visited Taliah's studio last year:









Also I'm headed to The Armory Show this Friday, and I mean to check out The Dark Fair at The Swiss Institute, and I want to stop by Honey Space. I'll probably also go to many more things, but these things sound the raddest. If you have a hot tip let me in on it.

Also! Next week I'm going to the press preview for Murakami at the Brooklyn Museum. Yes! Art candy!
