6. Worm Carnevale is an exception to many, many rules.
****
Rule 1: He hangs all of his own work.
Rule 2: He can pack a wall until it looks like the Milky Way.
Rule 3: Life Café? 9 pieces instead of 20.
Rule 4: No eyes know I. Glasses on.
Rule 5: Turn the camera on yourself.
3. There’s a way around every wall.

-To do well, we had to become innovative and always work harder on the upcoming show. For our fifth show, it was the fifth year of Bushwick Open Studios. Bil Bond revamped his installation for the “Garden of Eve”. Inside the gallery Kronenberg and I hung track lights that our guardian angel had given to us. From there, Kronenberg put a bar up across the sprinklers. I climbed our borrowed ladder to suspend Raquel Echanique’s paintings from wires.

Jarvis Earnshaw - Happiness is a Warm Gun | 950 Hart Gallery
**
A truly spellbinding performance by Jarvis Earnshaw during Bushwick Open Studios at 950 Hart Gallery. He makes his own rendition of the Beatles become a powerful Bob Marley meets Yoko Ono in a photo studio’s darkroom.
**
Jarvis is a Brooklyn artist who performs with a tape rig, a turntable, his guitar, and his powerful voice. He makes his own samples and records himself while performing in order to run the tape back and layer it in intricacies that he can hear with a nuanced ear.

“And it’s great music to draw to.”
