    Art’s Birthday is an annual event first proposed by French Fluxus artist Robert Filliou. On January 17, 1963, Filliou celebrated the 1,000,000th Birthday of Art, which he determined was born when a sponge was dropped into a bucket of water. On January 17th, Parlour and Town Hall will be celebrating Art’s 1,000,047th Birthday, and we invite you to bring or send a gift for Art. Your gift can be anything and will be on display/ presented/ performed/ etc., documented and enjoyed by all. This event will also feature birthday cake, refreshments, games, and live feeds to other birthday parties for Art around the world. Please join our Facebook page for “Art’s Birthday” and feel free to post any thoughts, ideas, photos, etc.

  • Two’s Company
  • <?php the_title(); ?>
  • February 13 – 14, 2010

    Parlour’s thirteenth exhibition, Two’s Company, features the work of six artist couples living and working in New York City. The exhibition sets out to explore the relationships between not only the artists themselves, but between their individual artistic practices. Each artist’s piece in the show has been selected by their significant other, and in some cases, collaborative pieces have been made specifically for the occasion. Two’s Company is hosted by Parlour co-founder, Leslie Rosa-Stumpf, and her husband, Lawrence Stumpf, in their Clinton Hill apartment.

  • December 12 – 13, 2009

    Parlour is pleased to present its eleventh exhibition, When All Through the House, which features short video works by eleven contemporary artists selected from the open call that Parlour hosted this autumn. The show’s title invokes the first couple of lines from Clement Clarke Moore’s The Night Before Christmas: “Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house/ Not a Creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” In Parlour’s rendition, however, everything is stirring; The works will be installed throughout an old, ivy-covered mansion, pervading the space and creating a dynamic experience for the viewer. Featured artists include: Colleen Asper, Orit Ben-Shirit, Filipe Bessa, Amanda Friedman, Elizabeth Hirsch, Harold Moss, Matthew Newton, Lars Ramussen, Adam Shecter, Mary-Ruth Walsh and Simon Woolham. Parlour No. 11 is hosted in Bushwich by Cedar House, a group of nine renaissance men and women who work in various creative industries.
