Ghostly Part 2

Ghostly proudly re-opens New Windows To The Sky, the capsule by renowned Chicago-based artist and creative director, Cody Hudson aka Struggle Inc. Popular demand warranted a reprint while the project's spirit called for new colors and materials. The second collection brings Hudson's designs to a woven blanket, nylon hat, grey crewneck sweatshirt, and navy long sleeve. The blanket is a pre-order (ships late January), and the rest is ready to go.

OMGWTF at Primary

*Flee This Fucking City,* neon, 22 x 20 inches, 2011

Primary is proud to present OMGWTF, a group exhibition featuring Oona Brangam-Snell, Tim Brawner, Andrej Dubravsky, Loren Erdrich, Gao Hang, Cody Hudson,
Ted Lawson, Mía Lee, Tuilelaith-Fionnuala Onòra, Ryan Schneider, Mr. StarCity, and Wade Tullier.

In one way or another, this exhibit is a thick and sloppy brush stroke dragged across a surface of your preference. It is an illegal U-Turn from the right lane at 35 MPH;
a high-speed crash course in ass shaking while mouthing the lyrics "cotton candy, sweetie gold, let me see the Tootsee Roll."

Sometimes, it may present itself as a decadent dessert for your first course at a late-night dinner. Other times, it could wander off into a field with a Florida man holding an alligator and picking mushrooms. Occasionally, this offering might sound like a punk riff with extra distortion played at 120 decibels. It could easily vibrate like blue text on a red background or move like a VW Cabriolet 5-Speed with the top-down blasting Young MC while waving a white flag.

The exhibition title, OMGWTF, is a contemporary cultural acronym commonly associated with a wide range of passionate responses. It is being utilized here as a compass. It serves as a reminder that instinct and intuition, opposed to academia, are unrivaled gifts to be built upon in the execution of creativity.

In the end, this presentation is the cultivation of unpredictability and the result of a dedicated search for honest works.

Opens: November 30, 2021 | 4 - 8 PM

Paradisia II at Dutch Design Week

Paradisia II

Dutch Design Week
16 – 24 October 2021
Every Day 11.00 – 18.00
KEVN, Galileïstraat 2 in Eindhoven

Mini Galerie proudly presents the second edition of the Paradisia group exhibition. The exhibition showcases the works of Cody Hudson, Liesbeth Piena, Linnéa Andersson, Matthew Craven, B.D. Graft, Jonathan Ryan Storm and Jordy van den Nieuwendijk, all of whom see the natural world as a potent source of their creativity and artistic practice.

As the world around us teters in uncertainty, one can be sure to find solace in the botanical world. Our contributing artists were all asked to submit artworks dealing with nature as a central theme. The work shown is therefore our attempt at demonstrating the ‘affect’ of nature on the human psyche.
