2009 Bushwick Biennial

James Kalm hustles through this, the first installment of, the Bushwick Biennial and drags viewers along for the ride. With the audacity of youth, this neighborhood decides to organize its own Biennial and enlists over ten galleries and 120 artists studios to show the world that there is still creative life at the edges. We visit Grace Exhibition Space for the performance installation by Estonian dominatrix Sandra Jogeva titled Human Touch, Divine Touch. From there we drop in for a beer served from the breasts of Goddess Ben Godwards functional sculpture, then on for an evening visit and tour of the roof lounge at NURTUREART. The nest morning we pick up with a viewing of the Gods of Mars salon at English Kills, and wrap up popping in to see a drawing show at Norte Maar which keeps it all in the family.
