Borf Release - Wednesday June 3rd - Sneek Peek

Just wanted to drop a quick note about this weeks release.  We are happy to present two new prints and a couple of original works by our man Borf.  The prints have lots of hand loving and the subject matter is something I can only describe as very Borf-esque.

The new work will drop Wednesday around noon here in New York (Eastern Standard Time).

Benefit Raffle for Swimming Cities of Serenissima

Wanted to give a quick shout out for the Benefit Raffle Swoon and her crew is throwing to raise funds for this summers Swimming Citites of Serenissima project.  This year Swoon will be raffling off one of ther larger, signed works to raise funds, and we hear it is very nice.  We also have a few Switchback Sisters prints left, the proceeds from these prints also go directly to fund the project.

More info by clicking here as well as below:

The Swimming Cities of Serenissima is a fleet of three intricately hand-crafted vessels that will navigate the Adriatic Sea from the Karst region of Slovenia to Venice, Italy in May of 2009.  Designed by the artist SWOON, the floating sculptures are descendants of the Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea (Hudson River, 2008) and the Miss Rockaway Armada (Mississippi River, 2006 and 2007). The Swimming Cities of Serenissima are built from salvaged materials, including modified Mercedes car motors with long-tail propellers.  For Swimming Cities, SWOON will collaborate with 30 artists from the United States, including OBIE award-winning playwright Lisa D'Amour.  As the Swimming Cities move toward Venice, the crew will collect and install keepsakes in an ark-like cabinet of wonders that will be on display on the boats when they arrive.  Once in Venice, the boats and crew will offer intimate performances that incorporate music, shadow puppetry, and story.  The project is produced with the assistance of Deitch Projects, Paper Monster, Black Rat Press, Build It Green, and a thousand other people.

Upcoming Show: Tomokazu Matsuyama aka Matzu @ Joshua Liner Gallery.

We at Paper Monster have been a fan on Matzu for a while now and are excited for his upcoming show at Joshua Liner Gallery, opening March 6th here in NYC.  Expect a great show and exciting stuff from Matzu this year. 

If you have some time drop by his website here and have a look.
