Each introduces an extraordinary character going on its journey; Ghost from the other side, world wanderer empress, hungry man in danger, wiggly giant washcloths and a bird who breaks through the limits of this physical world. “Our personal creatures bring life to the abandoned historical building of the firehouse.”<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">This place is ours / We are this place</span> is Elizabeth Otten’s site-specific video installation inspired by the physical and emotional presence of “The People's Firehouse”. This new work reflects upon the history of the building and how the sacrifices of people who occupied it for 16 months in the 70s, people who fought in 2003, and the people rebuilding it now are alive in the architecture. A meditation on the concept that people can imbue a place with an indelible essence and importance, the installation bridges the building’s past and future in its uniquely reciprocal relationship with the community. <br /><br />The exhibition is free and takes place from 7pm to 10pm at 134 Wythe Ave. btw. N. 8th and N. 9th Streets in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.<br /><br />For more information visit: www.nthccc.orgUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704240051632991430.post-91544675775791389422010-05-12T16:06:00.000-07:002010-05-12T17:23:22.609-07:00Absolut Vodka launch party.NTHCC is chilling at the Absolut Brooklyn launch party at the Causey Contemporary Art Gallery. We're enjoying the new cocktails, some great performances by Kyp Malone and Sarah Fullen, and some cool art as well. The new vodka launches June 1st.. it has a nice apple and ginger taste to it... goes great with some Jameson and ginger ale. Really cool that out of all the places Absolut could chose for its new vodka and launch party, that it was in our neighborhood. Some nice ou d'oeuvres being passed around from locals Nita Nita and others.<br /><div>This is all leading up to Taste Williamsburg's big event in the next few days to help build our Northside Town Hall.

Three of Brooklyn’s biggest acts—Nada Surf, They Might Be Giants, and Charles Bissell of the Wrens—will be performing. The night will also include booths from local organizations, art installations, and celebrity DJs to be announced later. Tickets are $25 and available now on the Music Hall website. Those who purchase a $75 VIP ticket will have access to a private viewing area, a catered buffet, and wine from local merchants.</span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“We are honored to have these local musicians perform as part of the community-wide movement to create a badly needed resource that will work to improve the neighborhood for all of us,” says Del Teague, a member of the Town Hall’s Board of Directors. “North Brooklyn is going through enormous changes and its citizens need advocacy and activism more than ever—as well as services in areas such as affordable housing and job development. We also want to recognize and foster the connections between our local artists and the political needs of the community with the exhibition and meeting space in the Town Hall.”</span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"I've lived in Williamsburg for 14 years," says Matthew Caws of Nada Surf "I've seen the changes happen and I know this community center is necessary for responsible growth."</span></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><a href="http://www.musichallofwilliamsburg.com/event/3488">BUY TICKETS </a></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;margin-right: -0.5in; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><br /></span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoHeader" style="tab-stops:.5in"><br /></p> <!--EndFragment-->Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704240051632991430.post-43344603369918919252009-09-11T21:57:00.000-07:002009-11-28T11:41:34.927-08:00Calling all foodies.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0oEnw-77kwU/SqsvAQJmYfI/AAAAAAAAACE/FZMZ3Vf2X6Y/s1600-h/taste.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0oEnw-77kwU/SqsvAQJmYfI/AAAAAAAAACE/FZMZ3Vf2X6Y/s200/taste.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380445861205926386" border="0" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;font-family:arial;font-size:13;" ><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">We have a really exciting fund raising event for the Northside Town Hall called </span></span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Taste Williamsburg Greenpoint</span></span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">.
