Richie Cox is an emerging artist featured in Thursday's Art Rocks. With a recent solo show at the Max&Suzanne space over the summer and an upcoming show in December, he is in the formative stages of building his body of work.

"On the evening of October 8, New York- and Philadelphia-based video artist Borna Sammak will scramble all the video monitors at Best Buy on Broadway, in New York. He'll replace the promo imagery with 13 ecstatic, aggressively colorful compositions that are themselves scramblings of the same generic source materials. What would seem like a cyber hack parody of the television media and Best Buys' less than optimal choice of programming is actually Sammak's debut solo show." - Art in America
Thank you to everyone who came by the Max and Suzanne store in Sag Harbor this summer! It was a great success and a lot of fun. For those who weren't in the Hamptons this summer, I've posted some pictures of what we were up to.
We're open, come check us out.
Wooleystock 2009 was a music festival at the Wooley Street Gallery in Atlanta. It was based around music, love, peace and free beer.
Carnivores and Living Rooms performed until 2 am, illuminated by a projector playing "Bum Fights 2" on repeat. Admission and booze were free and the crowd was treated to an evening to remember (if possible). Not even a scuffle on an empty Peters St or a few local crackheads could dampen the mood for the crowd which dispersed shortly before 3.
This past Saturday at the Lola Gallery was the opening for Tim Barber's Mystic Heather & Virgin Snow. Once the sun went down the freaks came out. Jobs Lane was covered with the youths and art crowd in the Hamptons. A lot of keg stands happened...
LOLA New York is proud to announce the opening of Tim Barber's solo show; Mystic Heather & Virgin Snow, Saturday August 22nd from 5 to 9pm. The exhibit features thirty original color print photographs. The accompanying book will be available for the duration of the show.
LOLA New York is named in honor and loving memory after an abandoned, overgrown plot of land known as Lola Prentice Memorial Park. Using stolen wood from construction sites of nearby houses, a home-made skate-park rose out of nowhere within a month. It was organized, run and enforced by dozens of twelve and thirteen year olds. The park became a legendary refuge and playground for unsupervised youths. Around 1998 it became too popular and boisterous and the police decided shut it down unannounced; destroyed the ramps, dumping gravel over the park and building a police station on the grounds.
Through the designs, music, artwork, events & clothing the values of Lola Prentice Memorial Park: loyalty, freedom, creativity and camaraderie are able to live on and blossom.
