Two awesome galleries collide in this show, which brings hundreds of pieces of Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Third Drawer Down in St Kilda. The Cinders Gallery in New York was founded by artist Kelie Bowman and her boyfriend, Sto, three years ago. They named it Cinders because Bowman’s house had just burned down while she went on a ten-minute beer run during a celebration of their newly signed lease. (Are you liking these guys already?)
Cinders is a storefront gallery and a social hub for Brooklyn artists. Bowman says she wanted to establish a space where artists could sell their work (and other things too) to support themselves. The BBQ launch that Abi Crompton has planned at Third Drawer Down will reflect the laid-back-clubhouse thing that Cinders has going on generally.
This exhibition represents a group of artists working on paper (a favoured medium at Cinders). They include the founders Bowman and Sto, plus John Orth, George Ferrandi, Kevin Hooyman, Matthew Feyld, Julien Langendorff, Zachary Rossman, Allyson Mellberg, Jeremy Taylor, Logan Macdonald, Justin Williams and Diane Barcelowsky (see some of them in spectacular hood outfits under the artists tab here). Think pencil, pen, paint, pop culture, punk and psychedelia. And some of the work is cheap as a slab of beer.
