One of 133′s nearest and dearest, Denise Nguyen (DTKN) is showing her newest work “ID” at Yeah That’s What She Said’s  Motherland exhibition at The Knockdown Center this weekend July 7th-9th. 
“ID” is a series of illustrations that are reinterpretations of family photographs from the Vietnam War. Illustrated in a dusty coral pink color scheme, the work is inspired by a mix of 70’s style graffiti and 80’s style fashion illustration. The first illustration is of her grandfather’s and uncle’s arrival to the United States after escaping Vietnam. The following work in the series is of DTKN’s father in a refugee camp in Thailand. Her father was shipwrecked without food or water for 10 days until he was rescued by the United Nations and was relocated to the camp.  DTKN chose to illustrate important male figures in her family with her mother’s favorite color, pink. The color scheme is meant to be an ironic nod to the color’s feminine connotations and to highlight one of this season’s biggest trend colors.

#tbt to our “Solace” exhibition when the very talented Kiera Bono and Angelina Marriott performed. Bono and Marriott have been collaborating on improvisational structures and choreographic processes since 2010. In the summer of 2014, they started an ongoing project with Laura Farrell called “pillow dances,” which aims to create space for collective survival through mental/physical illness, the effects of capitalist labor on our bodies and minds, and our varying distances from family and heritage. One of their main goals with this piece is to make dance that feels like cooking or companion planting. It is a living document and an invitation for everyone to cultivate their on “pillow dances” on a regular basis.

Printed Word featured artist - Owen Keogh
In his most recent work, Owen examines the translation of digital to print media – and vice versa. Using imagery appropriated from Google Earth, he gives physical form to virtual structures in two and three dimensions using digital inkjet and 3D printing. For the series re: Monument Ave., he examines the six monuments that define Richmond, Virginia’s Monument Avenue, one of two National Historic Landmark districts in the city and the subject of a problematic history since its inception in 1890 with the construction of the Robert E. Lee Monument. Taking an outsider’s perspective, Owen looks at the form of the virtual representations of the monuments as a way to draw connections to their physical sites and history. Through his choice of material and the inclusion of both successful and failed prints, he reveals the temporality of these images and limitations of technology to capture their forms.
Owen Keogh is a New York-based artist working in photography and print-based media. Mining personal and public history to generate conceptual frameworks, his site-specific projects consist of original and appropriated content subjected to meticulous editing, sequencing, and manipulation. In the process, he works toward the rediscovery of the familiar and the formation of identity through mediated images. He deploys various strategies for connecting the work to the places, communities, and events with artist editions, books, and performances.  
Owen seeks out the humorous, ironic, and ambiguous in the world, and embraces the multiplicity of roles of art and the artist in a chaotic media landscape. He is interested in the intersections of abstraction and figuration, the virtual and the physical, the personal and the political, and the limitations of technology to express these ideas.

Printed Word featured artists - Tim Roussilhe and Alex Rochet
French designers, Tim Roussilhe and Alex Rochet, are friends who both studied design in college. Their digital portfolio is a joint project that has won multiple design awards because of its fluidity, innovative animations and unique user experience. Alex co-designed the website and his work is featured in the portfolio. Tim designed the animations and is the developer behind the interface. In contrast to the other works in the exhibition we ask the viewer “should a digital portfolio be in a printed show”? Tim and Alex’s installation will be interactive and we ask that visitors share their opinion of whether or not print and digital design should live separately from each other.

Printed Word featured artist - Andy Jurinko - installation co-curated by Denise Nguyen & 133 
133 Design Collective is proud to host the work of artist Andy Jurinko at “Printed Word.”  Andy was a painter whose early work was influenced by baseball stadiums and cards. He studied baseball statistics and created works that were inspired by the players of the 1940-60s.
Andy’s studio was housed in his apartment in the Financial District across from the World Trade Center. The attacks of September 11th uprooted Jurinko and his wife, fashion designer Pat Moore, from their apartment and destroyed their belongings. Once they were able to move back into their home, Andy’s work started to shift from paintings of baseball players to brightly-colored nude paintings of models. Andy grew up in the era of pin-up girls and these paintings are a contemporary interpretation of that style.  In the installation curated by artist, Denise Nguyen, we’ll briefly explore the life of Andy who sadly passed away in 2011. Many thanks are extended to his loving wife Pat, who has loaned us some of Andy’s paintings to display. His beautifully illustrated book "Golden Boys" will be on sale this Friday.
