- Hello,
- This is William Etundi, one of the partners at Artists Wanted. This
- e-mail is going out to the 20 of you who had the most popular
- portfolio's in our recent competition, Exposure. We want to reach out
- to you before we make the public announcement of who won the People's
- Choice award. All of you are also still in the running for the grand
- prize, but with so many submissions of phenomenal quality, it will be
- a couple weeks before our judges will be done going through them all.
- The enthusiasm that came of this project was stunning. Many of you
- had thousands of unique visitors see your portfolio. A few of you
- became Internet sensations in your own right.
- The winner of the People's Choice award is Scott Irvine of Brooklyn
- NY. Scott had nearly 3,000 people visit his page with well over 2,000
- votes cast and an average rating of 4.7 stars. In close second and
- third was Ethan James of Murfreesboro, TN, and Qi Peng of Salt Lake
- City, UT, who also had more than 2,000 votes each. The way we
- tabulated the scoring was simply multiplying your total votes by your
- star rating.
- We are looking for opportunities for all of those who submitted to the
- Exposure competition, but especially for the 20 of you who have such
- highly rated portfolios. Currently on our site your work is featured
- at:
- http://www.artistswanted.org/exposure/
- Also, Artists Wanted is partnering with TheDanger and 3rd Ward
- Brooklyn on a massive art party happening in Brooklyn this Saturday.
- We'd like to feature your photos digitally projected at the event.
- This is a great opportunity to have your work seen be several hundred
- people.
- If you are interested in having your work displayed, simply reply to
- this message with 5 to 6 images that you'd like to show, or we can
- show the work you have in your portfolio. If you live in the New York
- City area, come to the event and you will be treated like a star with
- free entrance and free drinks all night. Simply, reply to this
- message and I'll make sure you are taken care of.
- Details on the party are below.
- Thanks again for participating in Exposure.

- -------------------------------------
- This Saturday, June 28th you are invited to the opening of:
- Dubai:Brooklyn
- http://www.dubaibrooklyn.com
- Art : Music : Performance
- Made exquisitely out of control.
- Dubai is:
- A metaphor and a warning. This is the story of the
- shifting center of the world, of art vs. commerce and the
- blurring of lines between principled escapism and
- unbridled hedonism. We are building out a space that is a
- celebration of the human extreme. As the world shifts
- from under us, this is your great escape.
- (But all the above is really just a heady excuse for a series
- of events that are intoxicatingly out-of-control.)
- Dubai Looks Like:
- 14,000 sqft. of intimate spaces, interactive art
- installations, spontaneous performance, a massive
- dance-floor and perfected sound-systems raising the volume
- on these hot summer nights. Over the course of the coming
- months, we will be building and evolving the space with a
- team of artists from Peripheral Media Projects/Ad-Hoc Art,
- ArtistsWanted.org, The Madagascar Institute, 3rd Ward Brooklyn,
- The Lady Circus and more. Expect a new experience with each party.
- Dubai Sounds Like:
- This Saturday the music will rise from classic 45s, to funk,
- house and electro-beats to a special Space Hause set
- bringing in the sunrise and beyond.
- Featuring:
- Within the Grand Mirage: the acclaimed DJ Duane, $mall
- hange, Mr. Finewine of WFMU and the Brooklyn favorite:
- Zemi17.
- In the downstairs Dome of Dubai:
- The Amoeba Collective brings a full-scale gamelan
- installation with dozens of instruments shipped from
- Indonesia and the eery beauty of Dok on Therimin. This
- set is something that needs to be experienced to be
- believed. After, the Burning Man collective ImageNode
- takes over with Morgan Packard of Microcosm playing
- abstract and sexy live PA ambient electronics, Skillcrane
- with live PA laptop and guitar duo loved by hoboes
- worldwide and dj Borne welcomes the morning with a dub,
- experimental, downtempo DJ set.
- Dubai Feels Like:
- That sticky insane summer party offering the best of this
- city when all boundaries are abandoned. Expect a little
- sweat, lust and passion plus a touch of heady Danger with:
- roving gypsy cacophony by the beautifully fierce Lady
- Circus; out-sized sculpture by Ryan O'Conner; the Golden
- Bough by Project D. in the Arboreal Room; live silk
- screen installation by Peripheral Media Projects; and a
- double-dose of fire from Squiddle and Mr. Kennedy.
- Dubai Tastes Like:
- Absinthe and hookahs, sweat and cherries, cocktails and
- the lips of your next great love. Beyond the usual
- underground party fare, we have upgraded our bar options
- with a range from cheap beer to the best Absinthe in the
- city. On the open-air terrace we will be serving high-end
- down-home Brooklyn eats from the Urban Gourmet.
- Dubai is at:
- 341 Scholes St., Bushwick Brooklyn.
- (You may have seen this space before, but never like this.
- Now we have the *entire* building.)
- Take the L train to Montrose Ave, walk two blocks north to
- Scholes and three blocks east to the location.
- Listen for the music.
- Arrive after 11pm and stay past sunrise.
- $15 with RSVP at: http://www.dubaibrooklyn.com
- $20 without.
