Come out this Saturday 10/29 from 1-4pm to see my new paintings in “Malls of America” @footnoteprojects Posted @withrepost • @footnoteprojects We’ll be open this Sat 10/29 from 1-4pm, if you missed “Malls of America” during Gowanus Open Studios weekend. 543 Union Street, Ring Buzzer 1F Also visit @ellayangstudio next door who will be showing her paintings of Tuscany and Umbria from residencies in 2019 and 2017. A treat for those who are more familiar with her work of the local neighborhood! And make a day of it by stopping by the nearby @gowanusdredgers boathouse at 165 2nd St to see “Renewal” curated by @arthagnyc a group exhibition featuring artists who have been displaced from their workspaces in Gowanus or are unable to maintain studios in the rapidly changing neighborhood.

Gowanus Open Studios is here! Sat October 15 - Sun October 16, 12-6pm. This year, come see me at Footnote, where I will be showing my new work in the exhibition “Malls of America” with paintings that isolate the architecture and signage of my native New Jersey stores and highways, uncovering the beauty hidden in the often-maligned suburban landscape. Footnote 543 Union Street, #1F, Brooklyn, NY I will be sharing my studio with one of my favorite Gowanus artists, Liza Domingues (@liza.domingues ), so stop by to see my work alongside her brightly colored, energetic paintings, tridimensional wood pieces and sculptural works. TI Art Studios at Cube Smart, Studio #57 183 Lorraine Street, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn NY Visit Arts Gowanus @artsgowanus for maps, artist directory and more info. #footnoteprojects #footnoteprojectspace #mallsofamerica #forgottenhistory @footnoteprojects #phillipbuehler #karenmainenti #shoppingmalls #photography #paintings #gos #gowanusopenstudios #deadmalls #gos2022 @sashachav #artsgowanus #gos2022, #gowanusopenstudios2022 #keepgowanuscreative (at TI Art Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjmJrousERe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally! My installation @footnoteprojects opening tomorrow Sat Oct 8 from 1-4pm🍷 🎉 “Malls of America” featuring work by Phillip Buehler (@pwbuehler) & Karen Mainenti (@kmainenti) Considered mere eyesores today, the first suburban shopping malls were examples of exemplary design: innovative civic architecture created to foster a sense of shared community. Against the background of the recent rezoning of the Gowanus neighborhood, this exhibition explores the optimism of urban planning against the eventual decline of these utopian dreams.
