This is the newest Dutch House project by Cobra Krames and Dactel — The New York Dutch Masters!

Formed after a night of heavy smoking, in the vapor trails was a sign that read “people gotta know & y’all gonna tell em.” Baffled by this message Cobra & Dactel pondered the sign until they came to a solution & The New York Dutch Masters were born. Their debut track & video “Voodoozela” is visionary using iphone apps and a drum machine to burn that now classic World Cup 2010 Vuvuzela sound in your brains!!! The video was shot with a Flip Vid.  What was spawned out of a smokey studio is growing into a movement that is sure to take over the World Cup one game at a time!

play and download the track, and check out the video!

Kathy Grayson and Meghan Coleman’s upcoming inaugural show “Not Quite Open For Business” at their new gallery, The Hole, in NYC. Grayson and Coleman are former directors at Deitch projects, and are branching out with a new venture, in the interest of filling the void that was created when Deitch ditched to sunnier shores.

The show features art from several  GOOD PEOPLES including fam iO Wright. The rest of the lineup for the show is somewhat of a mystery, but includes Terence Koh, Barry Mcgee, Stephen Powers, Chris Johanson, David Benjamin Sherry, Kembra Pfahler, Aurel Schmidt, Rosson Crow, Erik Foss, Taylor Mckimens, and several others.

Come check it out tonight!  Invite and press release below:

Not Quite Open For Business
Opens Saturday June 26th, 6-9pm
The Hole Gallery - 104 Greene St. (bet. Prince and Spring)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Hole is pleased to present Not Quite Open for Business, a conceptual group show of unfinished art, unfinished poems, and unfinished symphonies. The installation is designed by Taylor McKimens and the show includes over twenty artists from our community. What does a “finished” piece mean anyway? Come tell us no, no, no we are doing it all wrong it needs more yellow on June 26 when we have to open the doors, ready or not.
BLARG opening a gallery immediately on the heels of Deitch Projects closing has been a struggle. Jeffrey leaving suddenly to be the director of the LA MOCA, us not knowing what to do with our- selves after eight years here, scrambling to figure out who would be on our team, trying to wran- gle artists, looking for a space, investors, a name, a logo. We were going to open two shows June 26th but our corporate sponsor pulled out at the last second on the big expensive exhibition. We scrambled to find a different source for the 80K and FOUND IT only to have, two days later, the space for the show revoked. No way around that one; we threw in the towel.
Then suddenly our other exhibition, the inaugural show at the Tony Goldman space, was can- celled! The artist was under too much pressure to make this big installation and we were running out of time to execute his idea well. Which is totally understandable and did not make me go out- side and cry on a stoop. I GIVE UP! Or rather I did until it occurred to me:
Turn into the skid! The Hole: NOT QUITE open for business. What if the gallery didn’t look fin- ished, lights burned out, cracks in the floor, a mop bucket still sitting out. What if the sheetrock was showing and the benches were half painted and the press release full of typoos?
We called our artists and said hey, want to be in our first show opening in less than a month? They all said they didn’t have enough time, were too busy, blah blah blah. We said GREAT! Give us an incomplete piece. Give us a piece that has been on your wall half done for two years. Give us a drawing that you just can’t bring yourself to finish from your flat files. Put half your makeup on and come give us most of a performance!
The show is not about process-based art or deliberately “unfinished” artworks, it is about getting caught with your pants down and your lipstick smudged and your armpits sweaty because you didn’t have time to take a shower before YOUR FIRST GALLERY SHOW.

do you know Jahdan Blakkamore?  His recognizable vocals is that reggae hook on Smif N Wessun’s Sound Boy Burial, and most recently makes an appearance on the Major Lazer album.

Well he’s just dropped a new mixtape (courtesy of Large Up - shout out DJ Gravy!)
