NYC Cohort I Fellow Alina Bliumis, along with her husband Jeff, have embarked on “A Painting for a Family Dinner,” a new participatory project, in which the Bliumises offer an original work of art in exchange for a family dinner in the Bronx. They approach the dinner with no agenda, merely a desire to learn more about their neighbors to the north of their own Brooklyn home.
“We just would like to meet them, talk, spend some time, have a conversation and exchange art for food,” says Alina. They have broken bread with about a dozen families in the Bronx, and are seeking more interested parties. For more info, espcially interested parties living in the Bronx, should visit the Bliumis’s site, linked here, for more details!

Alina and Jeff Bliumis are part of a group exhibition at Set Gallery in Gowanus (Brooklyn). Each artist in this exhibition is evoking a body or a stand in for the body, and the bodies on view are ethnic, distorted, chaotic, ambiguously gendered. But each artist examines the body through his or her own lens.
The show also features work by Vydavy Sindikat, Yevgeniya Baras, and Irina Danilova. .
Opening reception will be Saturday, January 7, 2012 from 7-9pm at the Gallery, with an after-party at Barbes (376 9th Street)
