Happy Valetine’s Day from two artists who love each other very much!
FREEDOM TO LIVE
Opening reception: January 9, 2013 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Address: 220 36th street, suite B-515, Brooklyn, NY 11232
Two blocks from the 36th street N,R, and D trains (second stop in Brooklyn)
“Freedom to Live” proposes a parallel journey by drawing from current cultural oracles of video games, genetic engineering, evolutionary anomalies, and sci-fi to present an array of monsters and hybrids. These depictions raise questions about the possibility of a contemporary hero as interpreted by the art world. “Freedom to Live” will combine the 8-bit pixilated terrain of early video games and mythologist Joseph Campbell’s illustration of the hero’s journey into a “game board” on the gallery walls. While Meuler and Karwacki aim to recontextualize this journey through collaborative works, the viewer is also encouraged to develop his or her own hero’s path.
We hope to see you there, adventure awaits you!
For all of you who are not in the NYC area or can’t make it out, stay tuned. We will be posting (via instagram, facebook [Rachel Meuler & Art Connects New York], and twitter) live feed from the event. All works for sale ranging from 25 to 1500 dollars.
p.s. During our live feed we will be releasing images of a limited edition of 25 collaborative pieces, each 4 x 5 inches at 50 dollars a piece. These select pieces will be available online as well as in the gallery so stake your claim and grab a piece of the adventure!
This is the first major update I’ve made to my website in over 2 years. I’ve added new work, some older work, and cleaned up all the lines. Feedback is appreciated!
My favorite part is when the artist talks about preserving the creature that had either died of natural causes or that was bred for feeding is being immortalized by these stories and used in this new context within artistic narratives and story telling. Anthropomorphic Taxidermy, as Sue will explain is the process of taking an animal’s skin, preparing it, and putting it in a human-like setting.

Rob Corradetti (Killer Acid) is a print maker and musician from Brooklyn, New York. I had the pleasure of meeting him at this year’s MOCCA Festival. He had a lot of really amazing images to see including the first print you see above, which i now own as a t-shirt! You should check out more of his work at www.killeracid.com.
New rugs now available online from the girls at Domestic Construction. The GROUNDED series. I’ve been a friend and fan of these ladies for a number of years now and I’m feeling these rugs. They happen to share the same compulsion towards cutting up paper and fabric and pasting it onto various surfaces, often the rest of us benefit from this marriage of design. Though typically working on installations and the custom curation of environments they wanted a way to display their work in your house. So guess what? Rugs! The rugs are a result of high quality scans of their collages and SPACE-AGED digital dyeing techniques. Check them out, y’all.
