OPENING EVENT: FRIDAY, DEC. 7TH, 7 - 10PM.
POSTCARD EXHIBITION + 2ND ANNIVERSARY BLOW-OUT + FUN(D)RAISER. RSVP ON FACEBOOK.
Fowler is pleased to present YEAR TWO, our annual birthday party celebration being held on Friday, December 7th from 7-10pm. Artists from all over the United States have sent postcard-sized works that will be filling our gallery walls. All work will be affordably priced at $80 or below. Many local businesses have generously donated gifts and prizes to be raffled off at the end of the evening. See the amazing list of prizes below. Check back soon for a list of exhibiting artists!
The band, Globular Cluster, will be playing mellow, hypnotic tunes for your auditory enjoyment. Our event will also coincide with an event down the hall at Calico gallery: Calicornicopia. Double the fun at 67 West Street!
YEAR TWO, the exhibition, will be on view all weekend, Sat. and Sun., from 12-6pm. Many other businesses in our building at 67 West will be open during the weekend, so keep an eye out for signs leading the way to more fun!
This year because of the devastation so many of us have experienced as a result of Hurricane Sandy, we will be donating 25% of funds raised from the evening through artwork, raffle ticket, and beer/wine sales to the NYFA’s Emergency Relief Fund to support artists most affected by the storm. The rest of what we raise will contribute to the Fowler operating and exhibitions budget for 2013. That means anything you spend will directly support the artists in our studios and in our gallery so they can do their work in a comfortable and encouraging environment. Support your local artists!

EXHIBITION OPENING: Friday, Sept. 7th from 7-10pm
Fowler Arts Collective is pleased to present Odd Job, an exhibition of new work by artists Ted Carey, Jacob Goudreault, and Simon Slater. Painting in the 21st century is an odd job. With no rules or boundaries, how does one beat a path to new possibilities? Each exhibiting artist addresses this question in their own way, but shares an underlying strategy of poking around in little-noticed or neglected corners of painting culture.
Manipulating painting language with materials only occasionally including paint, Ted Carey melds painting and sculptural traditions to exploit and question our cognitive tic of finding representation in abstraction. Jacob Goudreault’s work addresses the painting support and its construction, redirecting our attention backward to focus on the process that precedes what we traditionally conceive as creative activity. Uber-Modernist critic Clement Greenberg believed each artistic medium was evolving toward an ultimate purity, and in Simon Slater’s work this vision achieves its absurdist apotheosis. Slater eliminates the use of any support, inventing methods to make paintings composed purely of paint.

Please join Fowler for the opening reception of Odd Job on Friday, Sept. 7th from 7-10pm. The exhibition can be viewed on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-6pm and by appointment. The exhibition runs from Sept. 7 to 30, 2012.
Fowler is located in the historic Greenpoint Terminal building on the East River waterfront in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The closest subway is the Greenpoint Ave. G train stop. Our address is: 67 West Street, Unit 216, Brooklyn, NY 11222.
This exhibition is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council, Inc. (BAC).

Check out this article by photographer Nathan Kensinger on the Greenpoint Terminal Market complex of buildings (where Fowler lives!). Nathan found so much beauty in the majestic ruins of these buildings. The article walks us through a history of the Greenpoint Terminal Market’s industrial and tragic past, and it includes amazing photos of the buildings right after the catastrophic fire of 2006.
Read the full article and see more photos here.
He spelled some names wrong, but got across a general sense of discovery which is what Fowler is all about. Yay! Thanks Mr. Philip…..
