I have taken a much more profound interest in interior spaces and how people, especially creative people choose to express themselves within their living and work spaces. So I was pretty excited to stumble upon The Selby where you can take a peek at the work and living spaces of people like Philippe Starck (whom I love), Karl Lagerfeld and Stephen Powers aka ESPO (whom you can see in the image above).

Two titans of the street art world collide when DOLK and M-CITY invade
Brooklynite Gallery for what is sure to be a show for the ages.

Thank heavens half the space at Brooklynite Gallery is outdoors —quite
conducive for these two addicts of outdoor activity who also plan on leaving
many gifts to the people of NYC.

“Sun Boxes are twenty speakers operating independently each powered by solar panels. There is a different guitar sample in each box all playing together making the composition. The guitar samples are all of different lengths so the whole piece keeps evolving.

Participants are encouraged to walk amongst the speakers. It sounds different inside of the array. There is a different sense of space inside. Certain speakers will be closer and louder therefore the piece will sound different to different people in different positions throughout the array. Creating a unique experience for everyone.

There are no batteries involved. The Sun Boxes are reliant on the sun. When the sun sets the music stops. The piece changes as the length of the day changes. Making the participants aware of the cycle of the day.”

“I’m exhausted, but i want to get this out. I pasted Red Lake today.

I woke up late this morning, around 10:30 or so. Stumbled out of bed thinking “…no, I’m not up for pasting today afterall.” Around noon I wandered outside for a moment and thought “…Shit! The weather is perfect. It’s warm and there’s very little wind. I’ve got to go paste.” I’d thought I was going to collaborate with someone this weekend, but she pulled a no show (leaving me alone to hang a 14.5 foot piece in 4 parts). On the 30 mile drive over to Red Lake I rethought through hanging this piece alone but hoping all the while I’d be able to find someone at the old trading post to help me.

Once I got there I connected with Lorenzo who runs the place. I learned later that he lives above the trading post. He said he’d run the place since 1991 and thinks the lower part was built in 1891. (Dig that.) I love old trading posts. The inside of this one is totally old school.

Lorenzo was super nice. Upon seeing me, he started cracking jokes and giving me shit for not knowing more Navajo after 23 years. We have a deal going. I’m going to find a hot, young nurse for him at the clinic where I work and in return, he’s going to find for me a hot, young, sheep herder. (This was all his idea.) I’d told him I’d try to get there last weekend to hang this piece. He greeted me today with “….I had four young sheepherders waiting for you last weekend.” I thought “…great. I’ve no idea why I didn’t come last weekend but really wish I had.”

Lorenzo and his three grandsons (by clan), along with the cashier from the trading post, all helped me. And here I thought I’d be installing alone and I ended up having 5 people help me. Gotta love it. I asked Lorenzo to document the process with my camera. These are his photos.
Once we were done, Lorenzo invited me to join them in a sweat. It was a most incredible end to a day when I thought I woundn’t paste. In addition to the teachings from the wise ones and his own life observations, Lorenzo gave me the name “Hosteen James.” He said “…Chip just doesn’t sound right.”
