Continuing the theme of their Cut Out and Fade Out project, UK street art duo Miss Bugs brings nippled lady-monster collages and colorful silkscreens to their show at the Brookynite Gallery, opening this weekend. Parlour “exploits the idea that the art establishment plays on people’s desires, whether for money, beauty, sex or ownership.” Translation: whole lotta press release that means art is decadent prostitution. “Parlour,” Miss Bugs, Jun 25 – Jul 16, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC
Oil Paint vs. Spray-Paint at the Brooklynite Gallery
Two artists of separate mediums are serving up expressive portraiture at the Brooklynite Gallery. Guy Denning self-imposes destruction on his masterful, angst-filled oil-paintings. David Walker’s slips in multi-color and metallic hues to his photo-realistic spray-paint works for the first time. Both on view now. “Surface Tension,” Guy Denning vs. David Walker, Jun 10 – Jul 12, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC
Sadly, the Brooklynite Gallery’s April 30th “Eurotrash” show is postponed indefinitely. M-City, Dolk and their art won’t be here on time. Stupid volcanoes. UPDATE: New opening date is May 8th.

The volcanic orifice of Iceland continues to spew forth flight-delaying Earth debris, so we’re not exactly sure about the exact opening date of Brooklynite Gallery’s “Eurotrash” exhibit. Before DOLK and M-CITY are imported, here are some preview images.
DOLK and M-CITY at the Brooklynite Gallery
Good thing half the Brooklynite Gallery‘s space is outdoors. For their upcoming “Eurotrash” show, Poland’s legendary street artist M-CITY will serve up a signature industrial-themed mural. DOLK will provide the mostly monochromatic story-telling stencils, promising to be extra cynical. Both artists plan to “leave many gifts to the people of NYC” during their stay, so keep a look out. “Eurotrash,” DOLK and M-CITY, Opens May 8, Brooklynite Gallery, NYC UPDATE: New date!
Instead of mourning your missed opportunism this past Valentine’s Day, head over to the Brooklynite Gallery and check out Kathryn MacNaughton ‘Filthy Rautten’ prints. They make for spanky neat gifts and make walls pretty too.
Brooklynite Presents “Artists Above The Radar”
For their first exhibition of 2010, Brooklynite Gallery opens its space to Houston-born abstract artist Derek Shumate (left) and Dutch “Pop-Fantasy Life” painter Collin Van Der Sluijs (right). Until I get back into the swing of these listings, please try and decipher the gallery’s artspeak for yourselves.
“Artists Above The Radar,” February 13 – March 6th, Brooklynite Gallery, 334 Malcolm X Blvd.

Street artist M-City followed up his recent wall painting in Long Island City, putting up a legal mural with Gaia in Bed Stuy. The duo finished stenciling and pasting up their collaborative collage over the last couple days in spite of frigid temperatures. Organized by Brooklynite Gallery and situated down the street, the finished work features some of the artists’ signature styles: bold buildings, birds and gears.
Inspired by the challenge of earning cash in this economic crisis, Brooklynite Gallery is opening an exhibition inspired by “the world’s simplest way to make a living,” shining shoes. “Go Get Your Shinebox” brings together more than a hundred artists, including Skewville, Ben Frost, Miss Bugs, Aiko and Broken Crow, showcasing their cubic works, a “survival box” for getting by. The show opens November 21st and is on view through December 19th at 334 Malcolm X Boulevard. Read more »
