"GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX" - NOV. 21, by BROOKLYNITE on Jul 9, 2009 20:38:20 GMT 1, . . . COMING NOVEMBER 21 TO BROOKLYNITE . . .
What does it mean for an artist to “survive” in a tough economic climate? Can business ever be “bad” for a diligently working artist? Making an honest living ---in a group show like NO OTHER, these artists, some legendary and some suitably hungry, will dissolve the line between utility and luxury for an exhibition entitled, "GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX".
If you’ve spent time in a "third world country", you’ve had a chance to see kids carrying ingeniously designed work boxes, set up for shinning shoes. We find that the variety and exuberance of these objects perfectly captures our world climate.
With the global economic downturn and the hardship it has caused blue-collar workers throughout, we find it fitting to explore the world’s simplest way to make a living— SHINNING SHOES. We are planning an exhibition around just that-- SHOESHINE BOXES.
However a "SHOESHINE BOX" should not be taken in the most literal sense of the words. These objects, our inspiration, have all been created out of necessity- a need to earn money, or further, to survive. We push “the need to survive” beyond its literal context, commissioning our favorite established and emerging artists to design their own, "SURVIVAL BOXES".
A shoeshine box is a medium, a framework, the boundaries of which have not been pushed ...till now.

"GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX" - NOV. 21, by Martin DK on Sept 16, 2009 16:15:48 GMT 1, Very cool box. I think this shows how amazingly creative many artists can be, even though they have to follow the shoe shine box theme. I'm sure that will will see a lot of things we never thought possible for a show like this.

ARTIST: zOOt
CONCEPT: The idea behind the box is for each note to take approximately 4 hours to print (including drying time, serial number stamp, foil strip etc..) this works out at minimum wage. The box is born of necessity, it gives the owner the opportunity to create a modest income only. Anyone thinking it is a "get rich quick" machine will be sadly mistaken.
"GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX" November 21 - December 19 Featuring Over 100 International Artists
But first... Coming in October (17)-- A solo exhibition for PERU ANA ANA PERU
