Art Pop Up Shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The Art Pop Up Shop (TAPS) is the latest swank space in Williamsburg which turned heads and hearts with work from Ellen Jong’s book titled Pees on Earth by powerHouse Books. The piece Cocktail might leave a bad taste [photo above]. Be careful. This work is dedicated. Coco Dolle is the Director at TAPS, which was founded in partnership with Hotel Existence, a creative network inspired by Thomas Brodin. The French have a way in Brooklyn, not to be missed.

Mike Rogers draws America’s nuclear power plants
75 colored pencil drawings by Mike Rogers recently exhibited at the impressive Parker’s Box Gallery in Williamsburg. The work documented all of the nuclear power plants in various locations throughout the United States. An ambitious obsession with primary color coded repetition, depicting complex landscapes in simplistic Christmas Card fashion. The individual pieces are small, delicate, romantic, yet the overwhelming numbers stagger. The controversial subject, handled in a manner few have attempted, provided quite a challenge.
