Monster Island is Our Town. Literally, its our clubhouse/meeting place/performance space/gallery in our neighborhood of Williamsburg. The last true bastion of a working artist warehouse where the entire building is run by artists, where all the like-minded freaks can get together that’s not a bar or a “club.” Without anything sponsored by corporations. Its just us. This month its also an installation that a bunch of the people who really hang out there worked on at the end of the summer. The theme: create a fantasy utopia inside one of the gallery spaces (secret project robot). there were grassy knolls, fountains, a comic shoppe, a shady alley, a mysterious church, a cadillac in the sky. I had the pleasure of working on the town head shop complete with t shirts, knives, posters, bongs, flyers, and conspiracy theory/black power/UFO literature on the shelves, all in day-glo black light explosion. All of our own bands got to play and it was really fun for DUBKNOWDUB to play in Raul De Nieve’s installation. Here’s some pics from the opening/block party. Good times, good friends, love it while we got it!
Well, it was time for a new website! Bear with me as I continually make this more awesome and figure out the bugs but yeah! here it is. here i am. oh boy.

TEMPLE OF BOOOM
The Temple of Booom is a collaborative installation by the artist-run alternative space Cinders Gallery from Brooklyn, NY. Artists Kelie Bowman, Kyle Ranson and STO will create a site-specific installation that combines paintings, prints, drawings, murals and sculpture. Exploring places of worship, rituals, shrines, music, and congregation, Cinders will build their own place of spiritual assembly based not on any one religious faith but on the faith of our loose-knit community of artists, performers, experimenters, and musicians.
Happening concurrently with the Austin music festival SXSW, Temple of Booom will feature a specially curated series of performances inside the installation that will act as a welcome alternative to the usual bar and club venues during the fest and will connect the often disparate crowds of music and art under one beautiful makeshift roof. The renowned Austin gallery Okay Mountain will host the exhibition and Tom Tom Magazine will curate special drum
performances.
Featuring artwork by Molly Colleen O Connell, Edie Fake, Noel Friebert, Maya Hayuk, Isaac Lin, Sam, Mcpheeters, Allyson Mellberg, Shawn Reed, Jeremy Taylor, Jessie Rose Vala, Erin Womack, and Andrew Jeffrey Wright.
With performances on Saturday March 20th + Sunday 21st by:
Beach Fossils, Grass Widow, The Beets, Gun Outfit, Awesome Color, White Mice, Screens, Lozen, These Are Powers, Sparky Dog, Wet Dog, Water Fei, Hard Nips, Katie Stelmanis, Valerie George’s Car Kit, Wet Hair, Aa, Dubbknowdubb, Dominique Leone, Chica Vas, and Pyramid Scheme

Le Dernier Cri Presents: Les Religions Sauvages
2 hours of animations by over 40 artists! Projected on 4 screens!
First screening in the US!
With a Live Improv soundtrack by Pakito Bolino, STO, Nick Lesley, and other special guests
Les Religions Sauvages tube-feeds its audience a horrific diet of sin prescription, visual torture, twisted pitch black humor, and perversion for the uninitiated eyes.
A Hypno-Epileptic Animated Ritual.
30 Kamikazes from the International underground including Mathias Lehman, Tochka, Mike Diana, FTZ, Leyla Marjeri, Los Lichis, Scott Batty, Caroline Sury, Fredox, Marcel Ruijters, Marc Druez, Dr Good+carmen Gomez, Reijo Karkainnen, Laetitia Brochier, Pakito Bolino, Judex, Ichiba Daisuke, Stu Mead, Marco Corona, Raymond Reynaud, Moolinex, MS Bastian, Matti Hagelberg, Katja Tukiainen, Jonathan Rosen, Elina Merenmies, Nicoz, Nuvish, Melted Men, Truck Van Rental, and Dr. Kob.
THIS BLACK HOLE IS SUCKING at HANNA Gallery, Laforet Harajuku, 1st floor in Tokyooo!
This new installation by STO for Hanna Gallery is based on the “cranearm” arcade games where the player uses a joystick to try to pick up a prize with a metal arm and hand.
As a bored youth, I always hung out at the arcade in my local shopping center and so in the context of the hip shopping mall Laforet, an arcade was sorely missing.
Made entirely out of recycled materials including trash, newspaper, and cardboard, the installation is kind of like a dadaist take on a purposeless machine with absurd objects as prizes.
Sushi, a large pink head, boxing gloves, vegetables, insects, swords and knives are some of the prizes inside of the window box.
On the side wall is a large scale painting of a floating alien eye that references old arcade game machine graphics(I always liked the 80s game KRULL) with these tentacles
that are named after many of my favorite places and people that I encountered during my recent trip to Japan.
Go see it if you are there!!
November 22nd 12-6pm
CASE: at the New Museum
The event at the New Museum is the premiere of Case, which will also be performed at a small outdoor
community theater in rural Missouri in summer 2010. The New York production of Case will feature
many of the ten cast members from the upcoming Midwest event, such as political activist
(and notorious local hell-raiser) Ray “Bad Rad” Radtke, who stars as the main character
Henry Dorsett Case, a drug addict and computer hacker hired to execute an impossible cyber crime.
Case will also feature Brooklyn-based performance artist Sto as Lupus Yonderboy, leader of the
techno-anarchist gang the Panther Moderns, and the actress Sasha Grey as the street samurai Molly.
The script has been prepared by the writer Brandon Stosuy, with sound design by Peter Segerstrom,
and graphic props by Breanne Trammell.

OVERTAKE was amazing! Hundreds of people came, the art looked great and the show went without a hitch…until around 12:30pm.
I had actually just left, completely exhausted and delirious from not sleeping and breathing in that abandoned building air for days on end.
Sorry to the kids who got tickets but I think people got a little too comfortbale in there and forgot that it was in fact totaly illegal.
What a great nite though! Check out pics that Tod Seelie took here.
Also we are working on a book about it so look out for that soon!

OVERTAKE
Takashi Horisaki, Sto, Ben Wolf, Jon Bocksel, Sarah Walko, Idle Hands Crew, Richie Israel, Kevn Caplicki, Vinny, Lopi LaRoe
10 artists are commandeering a 3-story abandoned building in Bushwick. The building is beyond repair and has been vacant for years; thus allowing for total freedom. We are utilizing its condemned state to make installation pieces, cutting into the walls, removing parts of the floor, adding elements, using paint, thread, words, phrases, and rearranging available materials while being sensitive to the inherent beauty of the natural decay. Join us for one special night of art, exploration, music and the overtake.
