The Flock of Six Pack Seagulls has Moved Into Oslo!

The Flock of 9 Seagulls is hanging around Oslo on Roebling street in Williamsburg,  Brooklyn.  There will be no official opening so just go on by and see it, have a cup of delish coffee and sign the guest book.  133 Roebling Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

One Hangs Right above the Main Table

I hung the show with nothing on the walls and trained the lights to create shadows on the white walls, this adds a new dimension to the flock.

Here are the Documents for 5 completed six pack SeaGulls:

A FLOCK OF (six pack) SEAGULLS

The "Flock of Seagulls" is in the creation stage!  I have created 5 new Six Pack seagulls as well as a nest with eggs, these will be a part of my installation, "A Flock of (sixpack) Seagulls" Hopefully to be finished and installed by Earth Day.  In order to create consistency and symmetry of the animals, I built a "pegboard" to stretch the wire frame of the birds.

Here are some iphone shots of the completed gulls.

And here is the nest with eggs, the frame is made from wire coat hangers:

For this gull, #6, I used wire coat hangers for the frame and fishing line instead of zip ties to attach the six pack rings.

I am hoping to get to hang them at the Javits Center, here are some rough renderings I have created:

Of course I would also like to put them in atrium's and lobbies around the city and world.  Please contact me if you have any installation location ideas (or contacts) you would like to share!

I am also designing a workshop for schools, artist or eco groups where participants can create their own Gull  (info below)

The pointGREENpictures art show at Sustainable NYC is a HIT!

I am Very Pleased to announce that Pengee and 3 of his friends, (Turtle, Dolphin and Coat Hanger Seagull),  have found a permanent home there!

The Show will be up through early January so please drop by and have a look and pick up some Eco-Friendly gifts while you are at it.  The Address is 139 Avenue A, at 9th St. New York.

Sustainable NYC won the Green America Peoples Choice Award this year and stocks some seriously inventive inventory of sustainable substance.

The story behind this show is great.  I was in the shop having organic strawberry ice cream  with my 4 year old daughter, Quinn, and she noticed their logo, which is a Tulip with an electric plug coming out of the top.  Quinn said, "Daddy, your art is like this, you should get in touch with the owner of this store and have an art show here!"  So I did, and got the show!  How many 4 year old's are Artists Agents?  Amazing!
