The Invisible Dog

I feel like I’ll be apologizing for delayed posting for a while now — with moving back to Boston things have been a little hectic but I attended an event last night in Brooklyn that I had to post on. The event was held at the old Invisible Dog factory, which was a popular 70s toy/gag. The factory, on Bergen St, was long since run down and a group of people have reinvigorated it into artists studios, events space and a performing arts space with more applications to come.

There were countless amazing artists, writers, curators, supporters of the arts, etc in attendance that I felt like I had much to learn. The event was for two artists I’ve written about here before, Steven and William Ladd, brothers who took detritus from the factory and made the most amazing, 15oo lb chandelier for the space out of beads, strapping and belt buckles. They also did a new performance piece to show their latest in a series of towers meant to look like growths, diseases, scars, etc — my favorites.

The chandelier is above — and it’s definitely not going anywhere so for sure go visit it when you can. Amazing night, inspirational people, wonderful friend — now back to the yurt!
