Lucky Gallery Welcomes Alexander Ellis – Event Photographer
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Welcomes Alexander Ellis - Event Photographer on March 3rd, 2010
Alexander Ellis
Alexander is a recent graduate of the George Washington University, where he was the photo editor of the independent college newspaper, the Hatchet. Here he developed his love and passion for photography and journalism. His favorite photographer is Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of modern photojournalism.
When he is not shooting for Lucky Gallery, you can find him freelancing in the tri-state area and taking his dog on long walks.
Smile for Alexander at the next Lucky Gallery event (he most likely will be the guy with the biggest camera in the room)!

“Anatomically Incorrect” Closing Party, Feb 6. 6-9pm
Posted by admin in "Anatomically Incorrect" Closing Party, Feb 6. 6-9pm on February 1st, 2010
Saturday evening, Feb. 6th from 6-9PM, Lucky Gallery is hosting an a closing party for the exhibition “Anatomically Incorrect” which is an an on-site collaborative drawing installation by Anastasia Akulinina/Kaerfkrahs, Brian Butler, Downer, Faro, Scott Ferguson, Fish McGill, Maxwell Piersol, Cardon Webb, and Eunjeong Yoo.
Local Brooklyn-based band, Descender will be performing. Taking their name from an obscure typographic term, Descender is a band made up of four graphic designers. Drawing on influences ranging from early ’90s indie and punk rock to hardcore and new progressive metal, Descender effortlessly fuses together a sound that defies easy classification. Often sidestepping traditional verse/chorus conventions, their songs are short and to the point, but also richly textured. Try to imagine a hint of Sonic Youth’s wall of guitars, Snapcase’s brutal breakdowns and Fugazi’s anthemic energy mixed with Slayer’s unrelenting metal riffs and you’ll have a reference point for Descender.
Over the last year Descender has been making a name for itself playing regularly in NYC-area clubs, basement venues and DIY loft spaces. Lucky Gallery is excited to have them perform along with a live drawing performance from local Red Hook artists, Todd Von Ammon and Nate Luce.
Bring your earplugs and have a drink or two and say good bye to “Anatomically Incorrect”.
Lucky Gallery Presents “Daily Porn”
Posted by admin in Lucky Gallery Presents "Daily Porn" on January 27th, 2010
Iulia Toacaci
From Feb 13th to March 6th, Lucky Gallery is pleased to announce “Daily Porn”, a pornographic bonanza of erotic books, collages, drawings, sculpture, and performance by artists Greg Beyer, Will Kurtz, John Lennon, Morgan Miller, Mark Mulroney, Kevin Muth, Hannah Nelson, Tara Sinn, Alix Sorrell, and Iulia Toacaci, exploring the ever-changing role of pornography in the realm of the contemporary art.
No longer confined to the pages of antiquity (Re: Petronius), the erotic has transcended into the world of mainstream media to become a propaganda tool and everyday commodity. Regardless of its highbrow/lowbrow underpinnings, we continue to create, display, question and enjoy images of desire both openly and secretly.
From the surreal eroticism of Salvador Dali to the kitsch eroticism of Jeff Koons, erotic art (in all its forms) has always inflamed public opinion. Even today, our supposed relaxation of the codes of behavior often rings false, as images involving nudity and the erotic are considered provocative, dangerous, and unwelcome in the public sphere.
Curated by gallery director Laura Arena and artist Iulia Toacaci, Daily Porn aims to explore and define what is erotic and titillating to different creative individuals, displaying a diversity of sensibilities and approaches that range from the humorous and raunchy, to the personal and the intimate.
The intent is not to criticize a direction or another, an attitude or a preconceived idea on the existence, the nature, and the social / political and economic implications of sexual imagery. The exhibition is not a re-action to people’s prudeness when it comes to exposure to sexual content and is not actively and consciously trying to educate an audience but reinforce something that everybody already knows, whether they agree with or not, accept it or not, and that sex and its visual representations have been part of our lives for as long as we can discuss consciousness.
To quote Henry Miller “obscenity, like sex, has its natural, rightful place in literature as it does in life”.

Mark Mulroney
Mark Mulroney
Instead of paying attention during class Mark copied his older brothers Iron Maiden album covers in his notebooks using a Ticonderoga #2 pencil. Several years later and following a two year long bout with colon cancer Mark’s work changed in a direction that disturbed his mother. The work became more sexual and absurd. Mark accounts for this by saying, “Impotence will do a lot to stimulate the imagination.”
