Fuego 718: Best of New York 2009

Best Latin Arts Store

Fuego 718

THE VILLAGE VOICE

BEST OF NEW YORK 2009

It's been five years since Fuego 718 opened its doors, which is like an eternity for businesses in the financial churn of Williamsburg. The longevity can be credited to the eclectic handmade merchandise sold here by owner Alex—an outgoing señor who seems like an old family friend who knows the story behind all the handbags made from recycled rice bags, bracelets designed from vinyl records, and mirrors shipped from Mexico and Haiti, as well as the symbolism of every milagro charm.

Luckily for us, the store is expanding to a much bigger floorspace at the same location, which means even more of the sweet charm that cannot be duplicated

(not to mention the insane low prices).

I am more than happy to share this with you!

Have a great day and hope to see you very soon at the store.

New e-mail: fuego_718@nyc.rr.com

New hours: 12PM to 8PM everyday!!!!!!!

LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

Gracias,

Rover Yonder

BEFORE THE WIND BLOWS IT ALL AWAY

Friday, October 23rd 7-10 p.m

305 Grand street, vacant lot

Williamsburg

Brooklyn, NY 11211

ROVER YONDER is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition "Before the wind blows it all away," curated by Claudia Martinez Reardon, opening Friday, October 23, 2009. This sculpture show marks Rover Yonders' first in a series of site specific, multi-artist installations around New York City. Rover Yonder seeks to promote young and emerging artists through nomadic art projects that challenge traditional notions of the exhibition space. This show will highlight the works of James Walton, Shaun Acton, Hanna Liden, Justin Adian, Uri Aran, Jose Krapp, John Finneran, Nichole Arvin, and Shawn Curtis.

“Before the wind blows it all away” takes inspiration from the transformative power of art and the anarchic beauty of urban decay. Altering the land through sculpture and installations, each artist reconstructs the contours of this once derelict lot into a conceptual playground. While each artist employs unique interpretations and practices, they are united in this common exercise in urban regeneration.

As the viewer enters the exhibition space, they are met by a monumental sail by Shaun Acton. Created from repurposed drum parts, the sculpture undulates in concert with the environment. From its rigging in the earth to the breeze that fills its volume, the sail reflects the symbioses of natural, industrial and recycled elements. A pyramid of fabricated rats by Whitney Biennial alum Hanna Liden juxtaposes an iconic and grotesque byproduct of urban life with the structured order they oppose. Jose Krapp's screen of smoke forms a veil, a stage set for revolution. From each of these and several more discrete works "Before the wind blows it all away" invites viewers to create their own narrative, a convergence of creative will, landscape and time.
