Novelty Sharpies by Nick DeMarco (Courtesy of Handjob Gallery)
We continue to be snowed under with invites to holiday markets. The latest one comes courtesy of NeueHouse, where last month photographer Jesse Frohman talked about shooting Kurt Cobain. The swank, members-only coworking space is opening its doors to the public on Saturday, from 11am to 5pm, for a Holiday Art & Design Bazaar.
Featuring a “curated selection of craftsmen and vendors” hawking jewelry, coffee table books, clothing and more, this will be a decidedly high-brow shopping experience. Among the participants are the Lower East Side’s new “art object store” , Bushwick “functional art” store Handjob Gallery (its “novelty Sharpies” by designer Nick DeMarco just made The Cut’s list of 49 Home-Good Gifts), Broome Street publisher Other Criteria (which just collaborated with Damien Hirst and Marc Jacobs on a clever Mickey Mouse T-shirt), Brooklyn-based online boutique Grey Area, and Japanese bike maker Tokyobike, which closed its shop at Prince and Bowery but is aiming to be back there with a permanent location in the spring. Designer M.Patmos will be showing off its collaboration with Chinatown/Lower East Side artist Ryan McGinley. Check out the whole list via the flyer below.
Williamsburg’s Malaysian spot Pasar Malam is also involved, so arrive at 110 East 25th Street with your wallet full and your stomach empty.
