My Brooklyn Home: Asterisk Art Project
When I move to New York in the summer of 2007, I was bless upon by Craigsist to discover my east coast home in Bushwick, BK. 'Asterisk' was one the initial artist lofts in the area, and still remains to pump out some of the best underground musicians and artist in New York. Including the Mindspray Crew, Langhorne Slim, Lightning Bolt, and many more. Also, my roommate Adam informs me that on their first American tour, the infamous Parisian DJs 'Justice' held the after party down at Asterisk. Although we hold showings for visual artists and photographers regularly, we were bless with a round table discussion by new millennium author author Daniel Pinchbeck. Asterisk is devoted to the grassroots artist development of New York, and continues to contribute to the community as a preformance stage,band practice space, recording studio, clothing design workshop, and visual art/graphic design production. I should return to Brooklyn shortly, when I can reunite w/ my brothers at this historical art project.
The video above is from the event, Fall Down, an all day art and music festival held in 2007. It features my roommate Broke, some house friendly animals, and many local underground artist.
