Jennifer West Exhibition Preview @ S1 Artspace (UK)

From S1:

S1 Artspace is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new and recent work by Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer West, her first solo exhibition in a UK public gallery. It includes six new and recent videos presented across two large-scale triptychs, installations that immerse and implicate the viewer within the work. West approaches filmmaking like an alchemist, experimenting and transforming the surfaces of blank film stock, shot footage, found photographs or off-cuts from Hollywood blockbusters into abstract kaleidoscopes of colour, allusion and direct reference.

The private view is generously supported by Brooklyn Brewery.

The Brooklyn Comedy Party Series: Michael J. Fox Night

The Brooklyn Comedy Party Series is a monthly comedy show and party at the Brooklyn Lyceum that pairs top comedy performers with a great after-party in a beautiful space, with beer lovingly provided by Brooklyn Brewery. Each month, the producers of the show select a performer and build the show around a charity of their choice, which will then receive the profits from the show.

February’s show benefits the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Improv teams Diamond Lion, UCB Harold Team Deckard, 3D Beard & New England will each perform a totally improvised set based on all your favorite Michael J. Fox movies. Who will get to perform the elusive Back To The Future set? What about Teen Wolf? We can’t wait to find out.

Super Bowl 2012 @ Brooklyn Winery

From Brooklyn Winery:

The Giants made it to the Super Bowl…so we’re throwing a party! Come watch the big game on the 92” screen in our Parlor room on Sunday, February 5. The kickoff is at 6:30pm, but you’ll definitely want to show up before that–seating is limited and first come, first served.

We’re offering game day food and drink specials, of course, because what’s a Super Bowl party without delicious munchies and brews? Hanger steak chili, rough cut fries, and a trio of dips are on the menu for the evening, and you’ll be able to purchase buckets of Brooklyn Brewery beer to enjoy with your food.

Cheer on the Giants with us at Brooklyn Winery!
