SACROSANCT
June 14th-June 21st 2009
St. John’s Episcopal American Catholic Church
1610 Lexington Avenue, New York City
Opening Reception: June 14th, 4:30-7:30pm
Closing Reception: June 21st, 5-10pm
Sophie T. Lvoff is pleased to present “Sacrosanct”, a group exhibition dealing with issues of religious resonance and spirituality on view from June 14- June 21.
“Sacrosanct” takes place at a church on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The building was built in 1920, and acted as a church from 1941. Since the dissolution of the church body in the 1990’s, the space has been abandoned and closed to the public. Despite its subsequent deterioration, the space still retains its sense of holiness and importance. The surrounding neighborhood has also been in a state of transition, adding significance to the building.
For the exhibition, ten artists have been invited into the abandoned space to work both independently and collectively to create, install, and perform pieces that respond to the sanctity of the environment. St. John’s is an elusive and unorthodox venue for the arts, and will be explored as a unique site for the duration of the exhibition.
Featured artists include: Antoine Catala, Stephen Collier, Patrick Duncan, Michael Clyde Johnson, Heather Jones, Zaq Landsberg, Sophie T. Lvoff, Santiago Mostyn, Eric Payson, Grant Willing and Alana Celii.
Featured musicians for the closing reception include: Young Man About Town, Patrick Cleandenim, the St. John’s Choir, and others to be announced!

Design has many rules that claim to be big truths and full of wisdom. Designers all go by rules that work for them. However, their rules may not work for someone else, or for a particular piece of design work. When a rule is forced upon you, it stops working and becomes a joke, like “Never use a PC,” or “Leave it until the last minute,” or the most famous of them all, “Less is more.”
The problem is that every rule related to, or governing, design is ultimately ridiculous. In this book we have collected the most talked-about rules and the viewpoints of designers and thought leaders who live by them or hate them.

Web Design World conference which runs from July 20-22, features an amazing line up of web professionals. The design conference for the here and now. These days, everyone’s having to do more with less. We get that. That’s why Web Design World Seattle is all about teaching you what you need today. Like CSS and markup that’s easy to maintain and broadly accessible. Web typography that carries your message and is beautiful to look at. JavaScript that works. Mobile design that expands your reach. Social networking instead of social not-working. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash power tips. And the design aesthetics and user experience concepts that make for happier visitors, happier bosses, and — our accountant made us say this — a maximized return on investment.

Highly expressionistic, great movement and deep depth texture are three phrases to describe Anthony Lister’s work. Mister Lister enjoys painting a plethora of subjects, one of the repeating subjects is the superhero. Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, Hulk and Wonderwoman are present, and keep looking because Robin isn’t far behind. A breath of fresh air for the juxtapoz era of modern art.

Perch is a really little content management system for when you (or your clients) need to edit content without the hassle of setting up a big CMS. Perch has been created for those situations where you, or your client, would like to be able to edit text on a website without rolling out a full content management system. It’s an inexpensive and quick to deploy solution for when you need something that is inexpensive and quick to deploy. There are all sorts of very powerful large content management systems on the market, and lots of sophisticated blogging tools. Perch is different – it doesn’t want to be like those big systems when it grows up, because it doesn’t want to grow up. Perch is for small sites with simple content management needs.
