The Secret Life of Antlered Girls

yo. back in the day when i worked ata record label and i was a super party girl i used to send out a curated events listing every week or so, remember that? i’m not announcing a return to those days, but i am announcing the start of the antlers list. email me if you want fairly rare (not making any promises about frequency but i will totally not spam you) email update on upcoming events in antlerland. email antlered@gmail.com to be added. i’ll invite you to the stuff i go to, that you see pics from here. suggested email titles: “i wanna party,” “subscribe,” “down to live the antlered life,” “add,” “antlers blah,” “when i say dance you best dance motherfucker,” “i make a better antlered girl than antlers.” [update: troublebrass has just sent me a fantamatastical titled email: iwannapartydowntolivetheantleredlifeaddantlers

So tonight in the Brooklyn Deitch Projects space is a release party for their 2005 shows book. I was leafing through it and as a dear friend pointed out it’s totally a hipster year book. The best thing about a hipster year book is you might be in it! Anyway, since I’ve been helping out with Swoon’s upcoming show I’ve spent gazillions of hours in the building that this party will be in tonight and man, I’ll never look at it the same way ever again. Speaking of all that, the show opens July 7 at 6pm at 76 Grand st. Come celebrate the raddest, most beautiful show ever by an exceptionally incredible artist. Until then, stop walking by the windows and heckling me while I’m sewing there at night.

RELEASE PARTY with LIVE BANDS!!!! Deitch Projects is pleased to announce the publication of Live Through This: New York in the Year 2005, a huge anthology edited by Jeffrey Deitch and Kathy Grayson showcasing the most exciting and fresh art being made right now in and around New York.

Live Through This brings together over thirty of the most innovative and influential art, music, and fashion people who are changing artmaking now. New art practice is now intimately tied to the lived experience of the artists themselves, and this book– through more than three hundred color reproductions of artists, artworks, events, zines, concerts, openings and parties– illustrates and examines the nature of this relationship.

June 30th, 9pm-midnight
@ Deitch: 110 North 1st Street, Brooklyn

on the wburg bridge this morning. i was really hoping someone would fuck this billboard up. first it was neckface begins and then they put the same one back up and rambo covered it and then this horrible navy shit. not that “make fuck not war” and “love, love” are neccessarily the most effective slogans but hey, at least they did something. up today on wooster.

my knuckles are getting better though the wound is still all deep.

this artist is doing stuff all outside this gallery. when callie and i walked by i snapped this pic and he was like “you owe me ten dollars” then i kind of giggled and was like who are you? and he says “I’m THE ARTIST” and i’m all, okay. and i’m thinking–it’s probably not the best way to make public art–by charging people to take photos of it when they walk by, jackass. his stuff is pretty clunky and ugly anyway. moral of the story is, whoever this artist is, he sucks.

some neato stuff in soho

i thought my bike was the party bike.

Here’s a bit of what it said:

The stenciled images are not the only new memorials for bicyclists. Last week, a collective of artists called Visual Resistance began using bicycles that have been spray-painted white, called “ghost bikes,” to designate spots where bicyclists have died. The first was on Fifth Avenue near Warren Street in Park Slope, where a 28-year-old lawyer, Elizabeth Padilla, died after being struck by a truck on June 9, said Kevin Caplicki, 26, of Fort Greene. Mr. Caplicki is a member of the collective and said he happened by Fifth Avenue moments after Ms. Padilla died. The experience motivated him and others to introduce to New York this type of memorial, which has appeared on the streets of St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

“I feel an affinity with any cyclist who has fallen,” Mr. Caplicki said. “I hope that people can make a connection when they see a riderless bicycle and think about a life that’s gone.”
