PowerHouse Books
Powerhouse Books has opened their doors in DUMBO, New York. I recently visited this inspiring creative space and LOVED the current exhibition of work from the 70's era. I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Sara Rosen, who is the go-to-girl for this publishing enterprise. From magazine editor, to public relations guru (there's also a division of PH books called Miss Rosen Books, where she puts her special touch on these editions), she's an inspiration. The Lucie Awards looks forward to bringing PowerHouse Books on as a partner for future projects and promotions. Written by cjimenez@photoawards.com.
World renowned independent art book publisher, gallery, and bookstore powerHouse Books announces The powerHouse Arena, a laboratory for creative thought: exhibitions, installations, presentations, displays, viewings, performances, readings, and retail therapy—all drawing upon photography and popular culture as sources of inspiration. Located at 37 Main Street in the DUMBO section of Brooklyn, the 10,200–square foot marquis showroom and retail space is unlike any other in New York City, featuring a soaring 24-foot ceiling on the 5,000–square foot ground floor, and an equally impressive 5,000–square foot mezzanine, with over 175 feet of glass frontage, designed by esteemed architect David Howell Design. This year, powerHouse launches the Bo Concept Skylounge, a second gallery on the mezzanine featuring furnishings exclusively from Bo Concept.
In 2007, the Arena offers a series of sizzling exhibitions with artists including Magnum Photographer David Alan Harvey, Wild Style director Charlie Ahearn, acclaimed Back in the Days author Jamel Shabazz, the sometimes overwhelming Arlene Gottfried, and masterful interior painter Jeremiah Goodman, as well as group shows on disco, Warhol, New York City in the 70s, the Brooklynites, Darfur, luxury vs. necessity, and contemporary homosexuality. Launch parties at the Arena are among some of the best events the City has seen in ages—with legends like DJ Red Alert, Grandmaster Caz, and Rich Medina on the wheels of steel and partnerships with VH1 Hip Hop Honors and Maripol, parties at the Arena recall an era long gone, a time and a place when art, music, and style melded into a whirlwind spectacle that left us collectively breathless.
As part of the Magnum Photo Festival, the 3rd Annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival, and BKLYN DESIGNS (presented by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and Brooklyn Arts Council), the Arena is firmly establishing roots in the local community as it continues to forge ahead, redefining commonly held notions for the place of art in our daily lives. Establishing itself as a community and cultural center, the Arena presents Ed Schmidt’s Dumbolio, a monthly variety show featuring some of the most outrageous and outlandish artists and performers working today. And last but never least, the Arena offers a one-of-a-kind shopping experience—be it carefully curated exhibitions, a fine line of powerHouse and children’s titles as well as books of local and artistic interest, exclusive apparel, music, film, and paper products, there is something for everyone—no matter where you’re from, you will be immediately at home.
Step into The Arena! www.powerHouseArena.com
