Lucky Gallery Welcomes Amy Weng
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Welcomes Amy Weng on December 3rd, 2009
Amy Weng
Lucky Gallery welcomes Amy Weng, who was born and raised in the beloved state of New Jersey. She had a happy childhood filled with creativity and imagination, setting her ambitions high on the path of becoming a unicorn when she grew up. When that career option proved to be impossible she chose to dedicate herself to the world of Art.
Amy experimented with many mediums like animation, painting, sculpture, dance, theatre, and music, but found a special interest and connection with photography. Amy had a little camera, whose body was black as coal. And everywhere that Amy went, the camera was sure to go. She practiced and played with photography for seven years. Nowadays, Amy is constantly surrounding herself with creative energy; eager to share artistic ideas, construct intriguing objects, and collaborate in engaging performances. She hopes to ignite communication between the community and the Art.
Amy graduated from Purchase College with a B.A. in Art History; and minoring in photography, she spent most of her time in the photo lab and darkroom. Amy currently resides in Brooklyn, NY with her cameras.
We are so lucky to have Amy work with us and please send her a warm welcome amy@luckygallery.com.
Lucky Gallery’s, “Honey I Shrunk Red Hook” on RADAR
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery's, "Honey I Shrunk Red Hook" on RADAR on November 13th, 2009
RADAR is a weekly mini-doc series produced by WBP LABS-a division of the Workbook Project. The series is a timely, insiders view into the cutting edge of storytelling & creativity, & the attendant tools, tech, models and community. View it on www.babelgum.com/radar
When curator Laura Arena approached MIT’s Luis Blackaller & Andy Cavatorta, her brief was simple: create something that initiates interaction between the inhabitants of the neighborhood. From the Portuguese fisherman to the Projects, to the artists and hipsters, to a new influx of people, Lucky Gallery sits at the crux of several different communities, none of whom talk, but acknowledge each other as familiar strangers. Luis and Andy’s response was to build a miniature version of Red Hook and populate it with photographic doll versions of people they met and talked to on the street. We join Luis and Andy as they prepare for the opening and watch as the element of play in a virtual world impacts communication in the real one.
Lucky Gallery Presents “Wearing Whitman’s Words; A Typographic Exploration” Exhibition
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Presents "Wearing Whitman's Words; A Typographic Exploration" Exhibition on November 6th, 2009

These designers were asked to make selections from Leaves of Grass to visually explore letter forms. The designed words will be displayed on the front of t-shirts with the selected text written on the back in a font consistent across each of the shirts. This contrast will highlight how the shape of letters can add meaning to the words we read.
The visual form of words is one of the largest influences of design on our everyday world. In this show, t-shirts are used for their value as common objects and as a vehicle for personal expression. The individualist attitude portrayed in Walt Whitman’s poetry shares the spirit that designers bring to the letters they create. Everyone attending the opening will be given a free shirt, extending the show beyond the gallery walls.
“The idea for this show is to introduce design to a new audience through typography in a way that is accessible and fun, while showcasing exciting new work to the design community,” says Ben Peterson, the guest curator for the exhibition.
This show is supported by generous donations from Monotype Imaging and Portal Porfavor.
The typefaces featured in this show are Slate, a versatile humanist/grotesque sans serif and Egyptian Slate, its slab serif counterpart. Both typefaces were designed by Rod McDonald, the award-winning typeface designer and lettering artist and are available from Monotype Imaging.
