Art Swamp - Closing Block Party

Common Superstitions En Vogue Among Savages, a show at Secret Project Robot featuring art from Conrad Carlson, Greg Henderson, and Ian Helwig will come to a close on Sunday, August 15th. 

In this show viewers are invited into a subterranean abyss inhabited by renderings of monsters and mystical creatures. Grown ripely from the artists imagination’s, vines hang low from a dark cave while saturated palates and jungle patterns overwhelm the senses and create feelings of a long forgotten mystical swamp.

To celebrate, they will be throwing a block party on Sunday afternoon. From what we’ve heard it may be a mini Bike Kill-style event. 

You missed out if you never had the opportunity to experience Bike Kill. The fun, chaos, and destruction was something we looked forward to every year. Unfortunately there are repercussions associated with turning an unsuspecting Bedstuy block sandwiched between a public school and a Home Depot parking lot into a smoldering crater of hot garbage straight out of Mad Max.  We hope things get ironed out in the future.

In the meantime, check out this great documentary on Bike Kill 666 and reminisce with us on Sunday!
