Donate Art for ABC No Rio Clothesline Benefit

Submitted by alycia on Tue, 12/01/2009 - 19:45

Dear Artist--

ABC No Rio, the Lower East Side gallery and arts center, is planning another of our Clothesline Benefit Art Sales to raise money for our Building Fund.

The event will take place on December 10th and 11th. We are asking artists who support ABC No Rio to participate by donating work.

Work should be no larger than 11" X 17", and limited to two works per artist. All work will be presented on clotheslines strung through No Rio's gallery space, and should be unframed, two-dimensional work.

For our Clothesline Benefits prices are set at either $25 or $50, depending on the size and complexity of the work, and to be decided by you.

Work can be delivered on December 8th or 9th, between 7:00 and
9:00pm, or you can mail work to:

Clothesline Benefit
ABC No Rio
156 Rivington Street
New York, NY 10002

Please download the CLOTHESLINE BENEFIT DONATION FORM at
http://www.abcnorio.org/events/clothesline_call.html and include the information requested with each donated work.

Your participation and support is crucial and important to ABC No Rio. Please freely forward this request to friends and fellow artists. Announcements and invitations for the Clothesline Benefit will be sent to all participating artists. Please invite your friends, colleagues and collaborators!

Daily Reading Log

March 9, 2010

  • Helped a bunch of Queens Public librarians read some zines
  • Got my issue of On Wisconsin in the mail, and got a little nostalgic. Interview with Lorrie Moore.
  • Still working on the Teddie Roosevelt and manliness essay for homework this week. Didn't get much reading done on the 3 hour commute to Flatbush--a bit to tired in the AM to read about imperialism and conquest.

March 8, 2010

  • Today I re-read, and then did some free writing. Kind of. I was trying to write up a homework assignment, and the writing came a bit less calculated and organized than I would have liked. I'm going to sleep on it and try again tomorrow.

March 7, 2010

  • Sometimes when it's real. slow. at. the. desk. it seems like the day didn't even happen at all. And I couldn't find where that woman's class was! Or satisfy the CPE student! Long Sunday.
  • Read some more On Writing Well, but couldn't make it through kind of watching the Oscars.
    I liked this paragraph on revising well enough a few days ago that I folded over a tiny corner on page 87:

March 6, 2010

  • I got a really looming and somewhat gluttonous stack of books checked out for me through CLICS today (really-I have over forty books now checked out, and ten more requests...)
  • The beginning of Theodore Roosevelt: Manhood, Nation and "Cilivilization," for this week's gender theme in class.

March 5, 2010

  • More biking and celebrating than reading today.

March 4, 2010

  • Re-read all the homework essays, looking for the threads of resistance that I thought united all of them, and found out I am the only one to have thought out my final paper (overachiever strikes again?).

March 3, 2010

  • On Writing Well
  • More of Counterpoise
  • Call numbers for books for MALS class; American print culture and the construction of publics...

March 2, 2010

  • Fall/Winter 2009 Counterpoise; amazing letter by Sandy, and a nice piece by Dr. John Van Hook.
  • A bit of On Writing Well by Zinsser (one thing that I found this semester is that reading about writing is invigorating for me in terms of wanting to write and be engaged with scholarly activities).

March 1, 2010

  • Constance Penley, "Brownian Motion: Women, Tactics and Technology"--highly recommended article about women and Star Trek slash fanzines
  • Robin D.G. Kelley, "'We Are Not What We Seem': The Politics and Pleasures of Community"
  • Kelley, "The Riddle of the Zoot Suit"--also really great; talks about Malcolm X's writing about his time as a zoot suiter and how his later perspectives clouded his recollection of the cultural significance of his hipsterism.

February 28, 2010

  • Teaching myself about the American Revolution and tracts. Not finding exactly what I want, and not sure if that means I have to make it...

February 26, 2010

  • Lizabeth Cohen, "Encountering Mass Culture at the Grassroots: The Experience of Chicago Workers in the 1920's"
  • George Lipsitz, "Listening to Learn and Learning to Listen: Popular Culture, Cultural Theory and American Studies"

February 25, 2010

  • Raymond Williams, Base and Superstructure in Marxist Theory
  • Zitkala-Sa, School Days of an Indian Girl
  • Finished Trachtenberg; recommended--his vision of American culture is a bit bleak, but true to life (largely powered by capitalism, for worse rather than better).

February 24, 2010

  • Trachtenberg; 4 chapters by tomorrow!
  • Grant proposal, talk proposal, paper proposal

February 23, 2010

  • More Trachtenberg, with a particularly enjoyable part about the myth of Thomas Edison as inventor and made man (as opposed to entrepreneur with an economic eye and workshop of collaborators)
  • Booking a Flight the Frugal Way
