It all goes down at Figaros (26 West 44th Street b/w 5th & 6th Aves. New York City) on Friday October 30th, starting at 8 and ending mad late. Last year we killed it. This year we’re resurrecting it. Be there or be scared.

*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

On July 14th, Norweigen artist Bard Hole Standal will debut the first five pieces of the Deinos series as well as displaying a selection of his giclée canvases and prints at Ouchi Gallery in association with The ShadowPlastic Label.

For a little over a year, Bard has been working on the creation of Deinos, a 5 inch resin figure which he modeled, cast and hand-painted himself in his Oslo studio. The figure comes in five colors: black, red, yellow, orange and purple. The numbered 1 of 5 editions of each colorway will be available for the first time ever at Ouchi Gallery through The ShadowPlastic Label. This will be the only opportunity to purchase these figures until the casting of the numbered 2 of 5 editions in two months.

Bard’s work will be on display from Wednesday 7/15 to Sunday 7/19, 12-6p.m. by appointment only. There is an Opening Reception on Tuesday 7/14, 7-10p.m. open to the public.

Check out the next show at Ouchi Gallery. Makoto Kitazawa crafts monsters and aliens out of crochet patterns. If you’re a fan of kaiju (strange beasts) or collectables, then this show is a must

Makoto Kitazawa lives in Tokyo, Japan. He started the creation of the crochet dolls in 2006.
“The joy of my life is to create a form from a single string. Every once in a while, unexpected new forms emerge. Creating forms is not difficult; I only use basic techniques of crochet. But, by combining simple ways, I create something unique.”

Make sure you check out this sick exhibition at Ouchi Gallery. The opening reception is on Tuesday, June 23rd from 7-10 p.m. with the standard free wine, tea and Japanese snacks. All of the art is created by positioning Chinese characters (kanji) in a way to create new shapes and figures.

No, not “ouch”. Pronounced OOH-WOO-CH-I, Ouchi is Japanese for “home” or “house”. Our gallery has this name because it displays works by contemporary Japanese artists in a home-like setting.
Art should be more than a business commodity. It should transform all of our daily lives, awakening new thoughts and passions each day. The best art teaches that there are no limits to individual pursuits; that our own possibilities are infinite.
So when you visit Ouchi Gallery, we hope that you feel both at home and inspired. Perhaps you will feel something exhilarating—a positive “ouch!”

If you are not in the Prospect Heights area of Brooklyn this weekend you better try your best to be. Not only is this amazing event going on, but yours truly (Jason M. aka KAGE) will be having my very own solo show, debuting my latest series of work “Wherever It Comes From. . .” as part of it. That’s right, they gave me gallery space to put up some of my work.

Art, jazz, open bar, ping pong and prizes? What were they thinking?

*** For Immediate Release ***

On Saturday, April 25th, the art world will intersect with the real estate world for a little joie de vivre. If Cannes and Art Basel had a Brooklyn outpost it would be the site of the very first Art Walk @ Hello Living (4.25.09 – 5.22.09). 24 artists and 10 filmmakers will showcase their curated works and short films along the luxe walls of Hello Living Condominiums and within The Theater Room respectively. The art walk will be the neighborhood’s first event of this caliber — a tour de force for Brooklynites within the art, design and business worlds.

For more information, please visit www.beastsocial.wordpress.com

If walking around in some luxury condos while looking at beautiful arts and socializing with smart people doesn’t spark your interest, how about 4 hours of FREE dessert and wine tasting? Our friends at Brooklyn Oenology and Cafe Patisserie Lafayette offered some of their best selections to treat your appetite. What? You are trying to stay away from alcohol and sugar? Not a problem! We’ve got tons of fresh fruit baskets and SuNo Water lying around to keep you healthy and refreshed.

At this point, I don’t see why you are still not clicking the “I’m in” button? Maybe A RAFFLE will get you out of bed? How about some FABULOUS PRIZES?

- A gift card to Picholine ($50 value)
- A Social Club Wine Basket by Brooklyn Oenology ($75 value)
- A gift certificate to Enve Beauty Lounge ($100 value)
- A gift card AND a satchel full of goodies from Sephora ($125 value)
- A home accessory gift set by BoConcept ($150 value)

(Home buyers who are already pre-approved for a mortgage, the developers of Hello Living are offering $1000 off closing cost to those who make an offer on the same day.)

Pretty sweet Art Walk, don’t you think? It’s not over yet. Rumor has it that there is going to be an AFTER PARTY hosted by Triumph Property Group @ 957 Pacific Street with OPEN BAR and LIVE JAZZ. So I would get there early and get on the list!

Last but not least, there is going to be a PING PONG TOURNAMENT held at the after party (ever heard of that?) The winners, of course, get A PRIZE! (I’ve already said too much, let’s keep this one a secret.)

Guest and media check in @ 802 Dean Street 2PM – 5PM
Raffle drawing starts at 6PM.
After Party 6:30PM – 10PM (21+, please bring a photo ID!)

Flyer and more info after the leap.

High heels, while maybe not the most comfortable of footwear, are undeniably the sexiest thing a woman can put on her body. They accentuate the leg while emphasizing femininity and remind us why the gods made woman. Some cherish them, others fetishize them. Either way, nothing can stop traffic like a girl in high heels.

So why not celebrate them?

On March 14th at Ouchi Gallery in Downtown BK/DUMBO there is going to be a party/exhibition beyond expectation, applauding high heels and the women that go through so much pain to look oh so seductive. There will be three artists on display, a special limited edition SPL x Ouchi Gallery T-shirt for the ladies, live music and a special guest poet. And, all ladies must come dressed in their best heels, MANDATORY!
Ladies and gentlemen, trust me, this is a party you do not want to miss.

High Heels Party Vol.1
Ouchi Gallery: 170 Tillary street, Brooklyn, NY (MAP)
March 14th (Saturday),  7 p.m. until. . .
NO COVER
Ladies must wear High Heels to enter. 

WEAR YOUR HEELS!
