As part of the Outbreak Initiative, Contaminate NYC is now spreading its activities to Jersey City, supporting local artists and communities. Stay tuned for updates!
Red Hook Outbreak
As part of the Outbreak Initiative, Contaminate NYC is spreading its activities to the different neighborhoods of New York City, supporting local artists and communities, starting with Red Hook. This urban neighborhood, just across the harbor from Governor’s Island and the tip of Manhattan, is rapidly becoming one of the hippest areas of Brooklyn, with artists, musicians, and bohemian types abounding. There are plenty of wineries, boutique shops, and galleries, ensuring enough creative spaces for Contaminate NYC to infiltrate.
Periodically local artists will have the opportunity to showcase their work at O’Barone restaurant, located at 360 Van Brunt Street. We’ll provide space to local curators to broadcast their initiatives in a way that is unique to the neighborhood’s flavor.
The first Outbreak will start with Dark Meat, an exhibition of visual works by graphic designer and icon of the comics world Joshua Ray Stephens, opening on May 4th, 2010 at 6pm.
Joshua Ray Stephens is a versatile artist that expresses his creativity and philosophy through several media: graphic design, comics, illustrations, installations and writing. With the distinguished stylized stroke of his pen, he creates provocative and ironic images while his characters wonder on philosophical matters and the contradictions of modern industrial life.
