Plausible Inventions, opening reception
Plausible Inventions is a collaborative installation by Nicolas Lampert and Colin Matthes that addresses a world engulfed in its own technology. Lampert and Matthes transform the gallery into an “inventors workshop” of low-tech machines, hybrid creatures, blueprints, drawings, notes, models, survival objects, and scrap leftovers that are both fantastical and commonplace.
Nicolas Lampert is a Milwaukee / Chicago interdisciplinary artist focusing on collage, graphic art, street art, collective art practices, and writing. Primarily, he is known for the series “machine-animal collages” that has been exhibited in many formats from the streets to zines to community art spaces to the MASS MoCA and the MOMA. www.machineanimalcollages.com. Collectively, he works with the Justseeds Artist's Cooperative. www.justseeds.org
Colin Matthes is a Milwaukee artist who works across a range of media including drawing, sculpture, installation, public art, print, and collective projects. His work has been exhibited in galleries in New York, Denmark, Spain, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Austria. This summer he will travel to Belgium to complete a residency at Scheld’apen. He works collectively with Justseeds Artist’s Cooperative (Justseeds.org). His website is colinmatthes.com

No PLastic day
june 8, worldwide
It's a simple idea. One day without plastic. Just a day. Think you can do it? We do.
Here's what's at stake: your health and the future of the ocean.
Participate in No Plastic Day
(sample of PLARN bag shown in picture, taught to public at Creative Grove on fridays)
No Plastic Day is a world wide event intended to bring awareness of the over consumption of disposable plastic goods such as plastic bags and bottles. It is well known that there are floating islands of trash in most of the world's oceans. The huge amounts of plastic trash we all discard daily doesn't decompose, doesn't break down, and most of it is toxic to the animals that accidentally consume it. The current rate of plastic consumption is not sustainable and is starting to create a huge problem for marine life particularly. Fish eat toxic plastic bits. We catch the fish and eat the fish. Its only a matter of time before we've polluted our own food supplies with plastic trash.
What you can do on No Plastic Day - June 8, 2010
* No plastic bags - If you buy something from a store on No Plastic Day, bring your own bags. If you don't have any cloth or paper bags, just reuse the plastic bags you already have. They'll never biodegrade so you might as well reuse them if you already have them.
* No plastic bottles - Drink water from the tap or buy drinks in aluminum cans or glass bottles if you must.
* Limit your garbage - Almost everything you throw away is made of plastic. By limiting the garbage you create, you will reduce your plastic waste as well.
* Be creative - Everyone's situation is different and you will need to customize your own situation for No Plastic Day. Be creative. Reuse, recycle, and reduce your waste. Consider it a personal experiment

The JC record/CD riot
Jersey City has now hit the big time with the arrival of the Jersey City Record/CD Riot, a full-blown music collector's extravaganza. Hosted by the same folks who sponsor the infamous Brooklyn Record Riot, the show takes place THIS Saturday June 5th at Parlay Studios, 161 2nd Street in downtown JC, just a short walk from the Grove Street PATH . Over 30 dealers from NY/NJ/CT and beyond (Quebec for example) will descend with a wonderful variety of musical wares: rock, soul, jazz, country, hiphop and more. There will be vinyl for sale or trade (of course), full-length albums, 45s, compact discs (CDs), other musical memorabilia. Chat and make new friends with other musically-inclined folk, or even think about selling your own stuff at our next show. Show hours are from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and admission is three dollars (ten dollars at 8am for early admission). Refreshments will be available. There's more information (and directions) on www.recordriots.com. See you at the show, boys and girls.

ABOUT THE WORKS:
The artworks submitted for this show represent each artist's testimony of urban life. Urban life and culture is diverse and often misrepresented in the media and other sources. This show is an opportunity for these emerging artists to tell you visually through their works how they experience life growing up or living in the inner-city.
The participating artists have been a constant supporter of CUDA Culture and its mission over the years. If you or someone you know would like to contribute/donate an artwork for CUDA’s mission, please contact us at info@cudaculture.org (subject: CUDA artists). *Due to limited availability of space in the current exhibit, some works shown in the previous art show may not be included. CUDA Culture’s online gallery is currently under construction; coming soon.
CUDA PROGRAMS/WORKSHOPS: Deejaying, B-Boying/B-Girling, Emceeing, Mural Art -- CUDA programs aim to offer young people of various learning styles an artistic and creative platform for critical thinking, visual, verbal and written literacy, physical fitness and auditory skills which greatly reinforce and supplement academic learning, while instilling appreciation for diversity and social responsibility through community service. CUDA members strongly believe in the power of creative self-expression as catalysts for change, and that change must start from within. When we nurture our young people's talent and desire to reach their highest potential, we are cultivating a fertile ground for positive change in our society.
