Creator, Director Bio

A Brooklyn based artist and architect, I make work that surveys an array of media including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, design, and curating. Merging these mediums, my art maps the fluctuating horizons of human scale versus landscape, manifested physically, cognitively, and emotionally through workings of the body and landscape.Classical and Contemporary training in painting, environmental design, and architecture at Maryland Institute College of Art, Parsons The New School for Design, New World School of the Arts, and Syracuse University, has contributed to my impressionist travel to over 25 countries. Growing up sailing from the Tropics, with an eye towards discovery, I tack concepts of mapmaking, landscape, rendering, and the void into my work. Constantly analyzing inner thought patterns and outer communal dispositions, my concerns of personal discovery and environmental focus appear not only in my artwork, but in architecture, performance and curatorial endeavors as well.

About

The Last Supper is a multimedia project-based collaborative festival about consumption. Viewing the creative process as a cyclical, communally interactive conversation between media, it is a non-profit benefit for the Food Bank of New York City. Last Supper is an indoor-outdoor salon of ideas occurring in NYC during the crux of seasonal change at the end of September. A feast of the senses, and a symposium of genres, the gathering kindles the creative miasma infused by New York’s autumnal shift. The festival harvests the cornucopia of talent in our own backyard, and sparks an atmosphere for open dialog and collaboration across media. Short films from emerging directors, artworks from rising artists, edible installations from food artists, design projects, writing and music from several local bands and djs will grace the dinner table. Each year, the show sparks dialog about consumption by curating projects based on a theme of global and local import. This year, over 50 creators, lecturers and volunteers will discuss ideas about “Means” with an audience of peers to evaluate our state of consumption. The transition from Summer to Winter, blurring the lines between media, and the emergence of ideas will be celebrated at the Fifth annual Last Supper.

History

The Last Supper began as a series of intimate dinner gatherings of emerging creative voices sharing their work in an environment of critical, open dialog in the context of current global and local concerns. Culminating in a cornucopia of shared projects and experimental work; the inaugural festival highlighted the crux of seasonal change with the last outdoor celebration before the shearing Winter, and the harvest of Summer’s work. In a quaint Brooklyn backyard BBQ, apple-bobbing, dancing, multi , and a sense of community and informality was served up with experimental works in progress from several disciplines. The value of critical insight from an audience of peers was shared by members of different cultural, gender, orientation, resources, education, and creative backgrounds. Relationships and collaborative partnerships sprung from this exploration of social creative practice. Themes of consumption, change, personal narrative, creative conscience, aesthetic living and story-telling sparked a rigorous momentum by the collective of artists to develop throughout the year.

Practice

Lambastic is a creative datum line and resource organization of/for a community of multi-disciplinary artists. A cross section of talent from varying professional backgrounds, and emerging ideas (with an emphasis on criticism and productive dialog), our collective promotes open access to the creative process from different perspectives. To contextualize ones work and ideas within/beyond the local and global community is a contribution to its growth, and an engagement of social currents. A salon series of public critiques throughout the year, connector events between organizations, projects, and artists, dinner lecture series, educational programming and an annual exposition- are vital functions of creative practice. The realization of collaborative endeavors with volunteerism and professional support builds momentum and strengthens responsibility for projects and their environments.

Means

An atmosphere of political, economic crisis, and dwindling resources, our precarious societal climate demands a review of the way we consume locally and globally. Creating is making something from nothing. An artist’s resource, whether medium, message, or muse, is the voice of its cultural language. Consuming like all laws of matter, transforms the states of products. As creators, we must cherish this cyclical process and consider its affect. Repurposing traditional practice to our contemporary needs and desires has become vital to both aesthetic and functional life. Whether in the form of urban victory gardens, reclaimed hand-made objects as art and design, DIY techniques, prevailing independent films and bands, the self-sustaining artist is a simultaneously complex, imperfect, and idyllic model for contemporary life. The Last Supper is the creative dialog about consumption where Means as motive, economy of Means, ways and Means, Means of production are all tools for storytelling at the 2009 salon.

Values

While pop culture and the internet cut civilization away from physical communication, and towards ethereal relationships; distinctions between media blur along with personal and communal identity. Making with a creative conscience, we hope to extol and critique these global paradigm shifts, while sharing our local narrative. The conceptual content of our work blends preconceptions, genres, social strata and partnerships within the community. Last Supper is an experiment and engagement in social interaction, energy consumption, and dialog. Piquing all the senses, the show produces a multi-dimensional experience that allows access to attendees from varying backgrounds to reinterpret the way they consume media, interact with one-another and share. Tactics that engage the audience in an environmental spectrum of intellectual discourse (the gallery), performative story telling (the screen), to corporeal conversation (the disco) are shared with comfort (the meal). Establishing a tradition of invention, Last Supper values the sharing of ideas at one table and the home as microcosm for urban life.

A few examples of Last Supper’s community involvement: Partnerships - The feast served at Last Supper festival consists of donated food from Farmers Markets all over the city. Throughout the year, we develop relationships with the farmers to help us promote their farm practices, support artists, the food bank, and the community. During the show, TLS features a volunteer, live guest chef from a premier NYC restaurant to prepare the donated food for the event. -Last Supper 2009-2010 will be developing and implementing an educational curriculum that engages the senses, and encourages cross-disciplinary creative projects for kids K-12 by partnering with local after school programs like 826NYC. -Through social networking including attendance to openings, shows, food support, and online materials (blog, website, facebook, twitter). The Last Supper community has an extensive support stream of volunteers, studio visits, audience members, and collaborative projects ongoing throughout the year. -This year and in past years, Last Supper has partnered with Brooklyn Film Collective, Brooklyn Arts Council, 3rd Ward, Farmers Markets, Apt 138 Restaurant, Sweet Tooth of the Tiger, Joseph Foglia Designs, White Whale Review, VSA Arts, Sweet Deliverance, SALT Artspace, Gowanus Art Space and individual creators to produce an amazing multi-media event.

Anna Sui: Fall 2009 Collection

Saturday night at 3rd Ward, thirteen "food artists" will serve their work at the Last Supper multimedia festival, an offspring of a barbecue (the summer's last) that Coralina Meyers threw for her artist friends a few years ago. This year's concept is Landscape so expect bread rocks from Tattfoo Tan, organically sculpted chocolate by pastry chef Kat Korba, and the disturbingly lifelike sugar-cast syringes of Eve + Bowie. While Meyers stresses that no one should come to gorge, there's some real food too. Lamb, rice, and grilled vegetables will be served on her steel sculpture resembling the scales of justice. And if that's too deep, a dance party follows!

INTERPRETATION The Tender Diptych is made using one hundred one dollar bills. Tender One

uses only the colored parts and Tender Too the left over whites. The piece references Means directly through its medium of currency and by association through all the psychological baggage and ambivalent feelings that monies bring along for the ride.

Title: Tender One and Two Medium: 100 US dollar bills on paper Size: Two Panels 24”x 30” each Price: See Artist

Scott Wolfson BIO Scott Wolfson was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1978. He received an MFA in Combined Media from Hunter College, CUNY, and was awarded a BA with Honors from Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT.

Scott has been teaching art since 2000, and is currently an artist-teacher with the Joan Mitchell Foundation and an Educator at the Museum of Modern Art. INTERPRETATION Lightbox: Two solar-powered batteries will supply approximately 15 hours

of illumination to the lightbox. Each set of two batteries will be switched once per week and will be allowed to recharge via the solar panels. The lightbox will be illuminated for three hours per day, from 2-5pm. Depending on the weather and the amount of sunshine, there is the potential for the batteries to recharge faster and for the lightbox to be on for more hours per day.

Budget / Production Costs Previous Last Supper events hosted an audience of +/- 800 ranging in age, cultural, professional, and ethnic backgrounds. Given the increasing support garnered over the last five years and the growing fan base, we anticipate upwards of 1,000 people in attendance at The Last Supper 2009. With a larger audience and scope, we will need more resources, including more rental equipment will be needed along with typical production costs, which involve paying for projectors, sound technicians, art handlers, A/V technicians, materials and prints for flyers and mailings, merchandise for publicity, and lastly, food to feed at least 1,000 attendees.
