Sept 15 - October 16, 2011
Age 37
New York City
I was born in Colorado Springs Colorado in 1972. Somewhere in the 1970's my mother decided that it would be a good idea to marry a communist from New York City who was 30 some odd years older than her and move to the Bronx with him and her two children. My communist step-father was always home and worked in profanity like others used oil paints. He was a big civil rights activist and union organizer and was even blacklisted in the 50's.
High school was full of heavy metal, stealing boats, poaching lobsters from rich people on Long Island Sound (yes I know it is wrong and haven't done it in well over 20 years) working in yacht clubs, cutting class, brawling, stolen cars, making art, swimming in the ocean and almost total freedom.
After being one of the few kids that went to class and graduated from Herbert H. Lehman high school on Tremont Avenue in the Bronx, I got into Cooper Union, a totally tuition free college in Manhattan. I majored in painting, drawing, printmaking, cocktails and the seedier side of the East Village. One summer I spent in Halifax Nova Scotia and really raised a ruckus.
Upon my graduation from Cooper, I made handmade wall paper, worked for Ralph Lauren, a high end handmade Tibetan carpet company and now I am back at Ralph Lauren working with props, art, mounted animal heads and truck drivers.
I have been a Freemason for the past 5-6 years. My mother Lodge is Mariners No.67 and I am a Shriner in Mecca Temple, the first Shrine, as well as a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason.
I paint, draw, make kites, fly them on my roof, join clubs, wear tuxedos, get tattoos, brew beer, go to Lodge meetings and am a giant fan of making outlandish statements as well as attempting the preposterous. I am a licensed tour guide of the City of New York, not for profit but because I love it here due to the fact that NYC is the best place on Earth.
You can find me in the lowest of dives in a tuxedo, eating clams at Coney Island, visiting the graves of Alexander Hamilton and Daniel Tomkins on a regular basis, spending time at private stuffy clubs in Manhattan, wearing my fez, smoking a cigar or in the nosebleeds at Madison Square Garden watching my favorite basketball team, the Knicks being beaten. Other places you may find me, on my roof in Brooklyn flying a kite, Harry Houdini's grave in Queens and generally seeking adventure. My friends range from all kinds of Freemasons, to bums, junkies, construction workers, Secret Service agents, a member of the Village People, French millionaires and all the denizens of New York City.
Adventure.

Luz Caballero
Mike's Museum Luz Caballero de Gonzalez
C. 1900 – 1990
From Siao, Guanajuato, Mexico
Luz began painting at age 60 and painted up to her death at age 90. Her paintings have roots in the Mexican retablo tradition but also in the modern European masters of landscape and portraiture. Her son the noted playwright and screenwriter Antonio ...Gonzalez Caballero gave Luz the opportunity to experience the other arts she enjoyed the ballet as well as theater. Themes taken from the bible as well as the native Mexican populations are also prevalent in her work. Luz combined these influences in her unique paintings, each piece offering insight into life in Mexico in the mid to late 1900s.

Molly Hatch
Molly Hatch studied drawing and ceramics receiving my BFA at the Museum School in Boston 2000. She left Boston to study under potter Miranda Thomas in Vermont. After several ceramic residencies in the US and West Indies, Molly worked toward her 2008 MFA in ceramics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. In 2009, she was accepted into the Arts/Industry Residency in the Pottery at the Kohler factory in Wisconsin. Currently she works from my home studio in Northampton MA where she lives with my woodworker husband Oliver Hatch and their daughter Camilla. In her words "I am a writer and an artist-designer, creating everything from fabric patterns, furniture, jewelry, prints, pen and ink drawings and paintings in addition to my primary career as a ceramic artist-designer. My work is heavily inspired by historic trends in fabric, font, ceramics and furniture re-mixed with a contemporary scale, palette and sense of humor. My use of text is often appropriated directly from hip-hop and indie song lyrics, text messages and collected colloquiums"

Rick Odell
Rick Odell is a working artist and freelance photographer on Long Island. He is also employed in the Art Department at Hofstra University. Much of his work is concentrated on underplayed and modest, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered.
Rick has over 15 years experience in photography. He has earned his MFA from Long Island University, C.W. Post. In his freelance work he has been hired by Getty Images, American Express, Tribeca Film Festival, and Svedka Vodka to name a few. I have been published in USA Today, Newsday, The Daily News, and websites like Life.com, and Zimbio. You can see his work at www.rickodellphotography.com.
“Junk Food Nation”
In our American, consumer driven society, healthy eating choices are sometimes over-shadowed by media and convenience. Driving us to make poor choices. By photographing junk food like Snickers candy bars and Devil Dogs from a macro perspective, I objectify the food, hyper realizing it. I force the viewer to examine it at grotesque proportions. The images were intended to encourage the viewer to rethink a potential snack choice. However, in an ironic way some reactions resulted in desire and craving for the food in the image

Andrew Rigsby projection piece

Typically preferring to work in an installation format using light box photographs, shaped paintings, sculptures, found objects and video to create multifarious tableaus. Rigsby was the founder of GARDENfresh, a gallery based out Chicago. He received his MFA from Southern Illinois University in 2000, and his BFA from Bradley University in 1992. Rigsby has shown both Nationally and Internationally, most recently with WII in Oak Park, Il, (Con)Temporary Art Space, Chicago, antena, Chicago, Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Meyers, Florida, Bridge ArtFair New York, Miami and London.

Rueben Moore sculptures.
Sculptures
Reuben Moore's painted box forms contain garbage and other past-their-prime objects amassed at his home and studio. Preserved yet hidden, these items are sealed beneath layers of cardboard, papier mache, paint, and varnish -- ensconced within shiny, slightly lumpy, stacked boxes. The title of each work indicates what type of room the objects inside once belonged in. The process and the end result allude to universal experiences like moving from one home to another, exchanging presents, or making a time capsule.
Moore's art has been written about in the Boston Globe, Art New England, and New York Arts magazine. He earned a BFA from Montserrat College of Art in 2001. This is his first exhibition in Manhattan, having previously exhibited in Brooklyn, Miami, Boston, and elsewhere.
