A-Braised Dinner with Jenny Morgan

Thanks to everyone that came out to the dinner on the Jan.16. It was a delightful evening we have never seen the gallery filled with such energy and enthusiasm. We got to hear Jenny Morgan talk about her work and were given a more...risque experience by Rachel Beach. If you were there you know what we're talking about. If you didn't make it shame shame. Lucky for you Jenny's show is up for another two weeks!

A-braised Tonight

Opening Abrasions (a selection of dark verse by Deathandra Wingbat)

Gallery Before



Gallery After
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I wandered weak and weary,
Over a many cracked and cobbled section of the Brooklyn Bor'(ough)
I was shaken, nay, arrested, by the sight of naked breasted
Giant ladies glaring proudly at me through a gallery door.
`'Tis bewitchery,' I babbled, `glaring through that gallery door -
For my eye doth crave for more!'


Ah, what underestimation, for within my destination
Lay a vision unlike any I had ever seen before.
Bodies twisted, deconstructed; while vast throngs of the inducted
Drank a suspect crimson liquid and whirled madly round the floor.
All enthralled by "Bridge" and "Kindred" as they whirled around the floor -
Wanting ever, ever more.



"Captured", "Gone", "Untitled (Claire)" - intricately rendered hair,
Skin that glowed as though alive - yet was both outer flesh and core.
Hands and feet that opened redly, all joined in the rapt'rous medly
Of this exhibition stunning, and for hours did I pore,
Over Jenny Morgan's paintings, on the upper gall'ry floor,
And downstairs- ah! Even more!




But "Abrasions'" strokes and sanding, still are standing, still are standing,
On their canvases - and calling to me - beckoning me o'er.
And so, be it hell or heaven (since it's open twelve to seven
every day except for Tuesday) back to Like the Spice's door
I'll return. I'll see "Abrasions" and stand rooted to the floor
Gazing raptly - evermore!

Praise for Abrase (opening Friday January 9th 6:30-10:00 Jenny Morgan:Abrasions)

Santa makes a last minute dropoff! New works by Nicole Stager

OmigodOmigodOmigod. We just opened up this package of 24 new resin-mounted photogram cubes from Nicole Stager, and we cannot BELIEVE how beautiful they are. Actually, we can. Every single one of the cubes we brought to SCOPE Miami was taken from us, so we've been waiting for these like a kid who just KNOWS that that's a puppy-shaped box jiggling under the tree. Nicki's works will be on display at Like the Spice throughout our next show!
