COLOR ME PORNO PLAYHOUSE: the opening!!!
well well well wellll welllllllll...you guys have certainly outdone yourselves this time!!! Jesus! I just want to extend a really huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support the show on Friday! Man...that was just too much fucking fun!
Seeing everyone color the girls, lifting each other up for the dirty werd search, and get totally shitty drunk was so amazing. My goal was to create an environment that turned my artwork into a fun, horny, drunken, debaucherous evening of interactivity, and I think it definitely worked! The shit that everyone drew was SO awesome and hilarious, I could've never thought of that stuff myself.
There was a point in the night when, after stepping out for about 45 mins to spoke a joint, the party had officially reached "the next level" once I returned...crayons ground into the floor, people writing on the ceiling, air ducts, window, wood floor, couches, and anything else they could reach. It was absolutely fucking crazy. I loved it so much...
I will be photographing the space properly this week, but in the meantime, check out these flicks from the opening. We will be opening the space for the Aftermath Viewing on FRIDAY, JULY 27th from 9-1am. Erick Sermon will be spinning live, so DEFINITELY don't miss it!!!!!!!
(Miami Local PUCHO blessed me with this little section...pure magic)

The coloring wall at my show was really the most fun shit I've ever done, so I thought that instead of just hanging pieces in the gallery I would make the whole space like walking into the pages of one of my activity books: coloring, connect the dots, werd searches, etc. It will be super fun and hilarious....I can't wait!!!

If you come late, the gallery is open til 1, but the party will be INSANE downstairs and in the yard. The NFA dudes are Not Fuckin Around when it comes to raging!!!!

Primary Projects presents Jessy Nite's Color Me Porno Playhouse
An interactive breakthrough installation launching with NFA’s first event in a decade
Friday, July 20, 2012 at Villa 221 (221 NE 17th Street, Downtown/OMNI in Miami)
Color Me Porno Playhouse by Jessy Nite – Skybox Gallery, Mezzanine Level
Private Preview from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m., open to the public until 1:00 a.m.
On view through July 27, 2012
Miami, FL (July 10, 2012) – Primary Projects presents Jessy Nite’s Color Me Porno Playhouse, a pop-up produced in response to NFA’s dramatic return to Miami nightlife. On the heels of Nite’s February 2012 solo exhibition Bad As I Wanna Be, the mixed media artist is expanding her Color Me Porno gallery installation into an interactive exhibition of pornographic proportions. Just one floor above what is being billed as the revival of Miami’s golden age of parties, two giant rooms at Villa 221 (Skybox Gallery) will be transformed into an adult-themed playground. Nite revamps childhood art games including connect the dots, word searches and coloring activities to both visually and viscerally complement sets by the legendary Tom Laroc and DJ Elle, with DJTonyG, Tommy Clark and Tony Bird Torrellio. The first in a series of standout events by the NFA crew in more than a decade, Color Me Porno Playhouse launches on Friday, July 20 with a private preview of Nite’s installation sponsored by Voli Vodka from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m. For more information and exhibition hours, please visit www.primaryprojectspace.
“This project with Primary Projects and NFA gave me the opportunity to create an unadulterated environment with no holds barred,” said Nite. “Color Me Porno Playhouse taps into that intimate - perhaps uncomfortable - shy place, and turns a traditionally private emotion into an over-the-top, naughty collective experience. The hyperbolized sexual imagery becomes a platform to have fun, self-express and be free.”
With Color Me Porno, Nite radically expands upon the draw-it-yourself and coloring components that emerged as a crowd pleaser at Bad As I Wanna Be. The artist’s brash confidence and overtly sexualized line drawings lure the viewer into becoming willing participants in her work; and blur the lines between audience and performance, privacy and shared experience.
Jessy Nite is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer who studied shoe design at the Fashion Institute in New York and Art Direction at the Miami Ad School. She has exhibited both fine art and design projects in Miami, São Paulo and Bangkok. Press coverage includes HypeBeast, the Fader, and CG+Bangkok. Nite lives and works in Miami.

BEST OF MIAMI 2012
Check the article here!
BAD
SALON de NOTRE SOCIETE: opening!
This past Saturday, Primary Projects Space had the opening of their first salone style exhibition, Salon de Notre Société! It was cool to see little pieces left behind from all of the artists that have been showing there in the past year and a half, and it was incredible to see some new talent too. I have some terrible iphone pics below, to show you!
The giant black flower painting was a show stopper...apparently the dude who painted it is super young, so we should for sure be seeing more cool stuff from him.
John Vale, who isn't necessarily new, had a SICK little diorama thing that was so tiny and detailed...I haven't seen him make something like that before and I was really gassed on his progression...plusssss he did my "All Thriller, No Filler" tatty, so I extra love him. That was one of the best pieces in the show, though...so so soooooo rad.
Oh annnnd...I gotta say it...I loved the desk with my Paid piece hanging over it!!! It looked the way I hoped it would in someone's home. And, I was in the best of company: book ended by my buddy, the super g Andrew Nigon, plus a few of my fav ceramic pieces from a very sick artist whose name I forgot...again....thats a Kim Jong Il teapot! And the set in the drawer has a porcelain tooth!
But, I think that my true personal favorite came from my good friend Manny Prieres. He is a technical master and does a lot of text in his work, but its the sayings he chooses that I go nuts for...his "WORK SETS YOU FREE" piece literally stopped me in my tracks while walking around...that saying is so powerful on its own and at first I thought of my favorite quote from Henry Rollins. But when I then realized it was actually from the front gate at Auschwitz, I was blown away. I like text because with the right kind of saying, the work becomes really emotional. Manny!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway...another really great show...thanks PF and congrats to everyone who showed...it was a super fun one :D
