Join us for a fun reception featuring Rafaël Rozendaal, a visual artist who uses the internet as his canvas. Rafaël will speak about what it takes to do self-initiated projects on the web and what it means to be your own boss. Come downtown to The Wooly for beer and wine specials and a great talk!

Rafaël's artistic practice consists of websites, installations, drawings, and the written word. Spread out over a vast network of domain names, he attracts a vast online audience of over 12 million unique visits per year. His work treats the screen as a pictorial space, reverse engineering reality into condensed bits, in a space somewhere between animated cartoons and paintings. His installations involve moving light and reflections, taking online works and transforming them into spatial experiences.

He is also the creator BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), an open source DIY curatorial format that is spreading across the world rapidly, and has participated in select exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale, Valencia Biennial, Moca Taipei, Casa Franca Brasil Rio, TSCA Gallery Tokyo (solo), Spencer Brownstone Gallery NYC (solo), NIMk Amsterdam (solo), and the Stedelijk Museum project space (solo).

This event coincides with Rozendaal's new show, IN MOTION, at W/———Project Space (October 24-30, 2011) opening Monday the 24th from 7-9pm, sponsored by The Barbarian Group and GAR–DE.
