"Paper Dogs" from Matte Chi on Vimeo.
It's looking to be quite an event. I'm honestly humbled that my short film is a part of this exhibition, but incredibly happy to have a chance to share my work with, well, whoever wants to see it.
There are a ton of other interesting artists exhibiting as well, so I'd definitely check out the Art Walk just for that, or if you've got the cash, I hear they're, um, selling some condos too. Hope to see you around this Saturday.

The DETAILS:
On Saturday, April 25th, the art world will intersect with the real estate world for a little joie de vivre. If Cannes and Art Basel had a Brooklyn outpost it would be the site of the very first Art Walk @ Hello Living (4.25.09 - 5.22.09).
24 artists and 10 filmmakers will showcase their curated works and short films along the luxe walls of Hello Living Condominiums and within The Theater Room respectively. The art walk will be the neighborhood's first event of this caliber -- a tour de force for Brooklynites within the art, design and business worlds.
If walking around in luxury condos while looking at arts and socializing with people doesn't spark your interest, how about 4 hours of FREE dessert and wine tasting? Our friends at Brooklyn Oenology and Patisserie Lafayette is offering some of their best selections to treat your appetite. What? You are trying to stay away from alcohol and sugar? Not a problem! We've got tons of fresh fruit baskets and SuNo Water lying around to keep you healthy and refreshed.
And yes, there is going to be A RAFFLE for some FABULOUS PRIZES:
- A gift card to Picholine ($50 value)
- A Social Club Wine Basket by Brooklyn Oenology ($75 value)
- A gift certificate to Enve Beauty Lounge ($100 value)
- A gift card AND a satchel full of goodies from Sephora ($125 value)
- A home accessory gift set by BoConcept ($150 value)
(Home buyers who are already pre-approved for a mortgage, the developers of Hello Living are offering $1000 off closing cost to those who make an offer on the same day and a signed contract within a week.)
Pretty sweet Art Walk, don't you think? It's not over yet. Triumph Property Group is hosting an AFTER PARTY @ 957 Pacific Street with OPEN BAR and LIVE JAZZ! So get there early and get on the list!
Last but not least, there is going to be a PING PONG TOURNAMENT held at the after party! The winners, of course, get A PRIZE! (I've already said too much, let's keep this one a secret.)
