All Over the Map at Gowanus Open Studios

Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood, best known for it's stinky, super-fund site of a canal, is becoming more known for supporting a vibrant art scene. This year's Gowanus Open Studios will be bigger than ever.

If you're up for exploring the neighborhood, you can find Ian's work at two places. His new interactive cardboard sculpture, "The Sisyphus Experiment" will be rolling amongst the crowd at Gowanus Ballroom during the Honk festival concert.  And a collection of his other wall hung textiles and piano piece sculptures will be included in a two-artist show curated by Fiercely Curious at the brand new Threes Brewing, 

You can try to catch Ian at the concert on Friday night and the open studios closing reception at Threes Brewing on Sunday.

As any artist with even the slightest web presence can attest, it's only a matter of time before some "online gallery/database" asks you to put images of your work up on their site. And then you just sit back and watch the sales happen, right? More likely you'll forget the name and that you even submitted images.

This couldn't be further from the truth with online art showcase Fiercely Curious, a project homegrown in Brooklyn by founders Erin Przekop and Tom Critchlow. These two are smart, energetic, professional AND they work their asses off. Needless to say, Ian is incredibly excited to be working with them.

Check out some of Ian's work here on their new artist gallery page.
