October 14, 2009 – Famous Accountants is pleased to announce its grand opening reception for the exhibit “Twenty-Three” on October 24, 2009 from 6-10PM in conjunction with Norte Maar’s THIS BEAT IS SICK: Bushwick Art Spaces Stay Open Late. Famous Accountants is a shared work/studio and gallery space in Greater Bushwick run by artists Ellen Letcher and Kevin Regan. Their concept for the space is “gallery as sketchbook.” Their inspiration for opening Famous Accountants is Austin Thomas and her concept of the perch. Thomas ran the recently-closed Pocket Utopia: “a relational exhibition, salon and social space” housed in a renovated storefront space on Flushing Avenue.
The inaugural show, “Twenty-Three” features work by both Letcher and Regan. Over the course of 2 months, the two artists visited the studio separately and together, composing a dialogue of works. The show features a combination of previous pieces as well as site-specific collages, found images, words and objects.
The space will be home to periodic events (including “TV Parties” inspired by a Black Flag song which will featured curated screenings accompanied by beer drinking).
The first TV Party will be held November 8, 2009 from 1-6PM.
