 New Voices from Spain: Rosalía
Part of BAMcafé Live
Saturday, October 11 at 9pm
In conjunction with BAM’s New Voices from Spain series (2008 Next Wave Festival), BAMcafé Live presents an artist on the smoother, sexier side of Iberia’s burgeoning music scene: the keen-eared, classically-trained guitarist/singer Rosalía.
Steeped in Spanish folklore, Latin rhythms, and jazz, Rosalía’s guitar lines are lush and sinuous, guiding the listener/vagabond into the most unlikely nooks and crannies of modern Spanish culture.

The Clinton Hill Arts Festival is an innovative new partnership between Brooklyn’s art community and its real estate developers scheduled for the first two weekends in October. Brooklyn artist and festival organizer Anders Knutsson is the main drive behind this contextually exciting project called “Brooklyn as a State of Mind”. The exhibitions are a collaboration between artists, curators, community businesses and corporate partners and has resulted in a transformation of a former Helping Hands Mission – now a newly renovated condominium – into an art venue featuring over 40 contemporary artists from various backgrounds that all find their artistic home in Brooklyn.
The 2008 Clinton Hill Art Festival’s primary location will be this handsomely transformed condominium: The LOFTS on LEX at 95 Lexington Ave. To honor the tradition to present exciting contemporary art, the developer - Fabian Friedland - has provided the Festival with four large lofts - over 8,000sq.ft. In its elegantly designed first floor. The Festival Curators Kennis Baptiste, Anders Knutsson and Danny Simmons will present new works by over 40 mostly Brooklyn based artists’ works. The curators’ criteria is art that is uniquely inspiring, professional and unmistakably of our times. “Brooklyn as a State of Mind” best represents the spirit of these artists who come from very different backgrounds yet find their artistic home in Brooklyn.
The Festival has five locations and starts at 95 Lexington and exhibitions continue down Lexington Avenue at 93 Lexington Avenue (Gallery D3), and 334 Grand Avenue @ Lexington (Corridor Gallery); then down Grand Avenue to 285 Grand Avenue (Grand Dakar) and over to DeKalb by Hall Street (Pratt Institute). At Pratt, you can take a self-guided or student guided tour of this hidden gem: New York City’s largest out door exhibit of contemporary sculpture! I know you will find it a delightful surprise!
For up-to-date news and a full list of the artists and links to their websites, you may visit: www.tragallery.net/chaf.htm. Call 718-622-3432 or email a.knutsson@att.net for additional information.
