HLH @ Gallery Kayafas

Great news! In January 2011, Harvey Loves Harvey will be showing at Gallery Kayafas in Boston! More to come.....

Sketching the new project

Next weekend, HLH will be in the woods of Vermont, shooting part of a new project titled "A Dialogue About Discourse, Between A Place Of Infinite Possibilities & A Site of Finite Impossibilities: What Are We Saying?" Pictures and video to come.

In the meantime, here is a sketch of the setup. (Yes, that is the worst drawing of a Mazda 3 ever! This is why we make videos and interactive pieces, not drawings.)

14 Actions Day 2!

The second day of 14 Actions For 14th Street was cold and rainy, but we managed to get a lot done. Our first action of the day was near 14th and 7th, where we set up a small gallery and tried to sell a work of art. It may have been the cold weather, or our sales technique, but the work didn't move.



After that, we moved up the block to 14th and 8th, for a surprise inspection on a building. We looked it over, and made our report on the status of the facility, its overall safety, and our followup plans.



Later in the day, near 14th and 6th, we found a great backdrop to campaign for George McClellan in his bid for the Presidency. We read a campaign poem extolling the virtues of Little Mac and taking Lincoln to task for his terrible handling of the war. We also gave out campaign pins to passersby.



We ended the day near 14th and 5th with a tailgate party. As Harvey Loves Harvey, we often hear people question our masculinity, so we used this busy location to prove otherwise. There were Xtreme drinks, junk food and a football game. We cheered the Bills/Jets game and talked with passersby about machismo. Below is a lovely woman who told us "ABY: Anybody but the Yankees. I usually cheer for the Red Sox."

So I hugged her.





We'll be on the street again next weekend, with 7 more actions to go. See you there.

Rain Gear

Headed to B&H to get some raingear for this weekend. Hopefully we won't have to use it? Right?

Radiation monitoring

Here's our warning if needed after we collect results of radiation monitoring for 10th and 14th.

Weather

We'll need to plan for rain and foul weather. I am working out a way to attach an umbrella to the monopod, so we can keep the camera dry. We should also have some plastic bags ready to wrap the camera in as well if need be. Hopefully it won't be too bad, but we should wear rain slickers under our jumpsuits and have knit caps on under the helmets if it gets cold. Personally, I get cold easily and will wear long johns and wool socks.
