*Tabula Raza gallery will on June 16 open “Rock Paper Scissors,” a show with a conceptual bent examining the shifting elements that go into each work of art (rock=physicality, paper=communication and scissors=tools).  The opening reception is Wednesday, June 16 at the gallery, 24 48th Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11220.

*Vee has been up and about, with typically lush images of Sunset Park. Stop by Sunset Park Stills and take a look.

*One of the most mouthwatering shots at Stills comes from the folks over at Buendia Productions. You can check out their Flickr page, or go strait to the (web)source.

*You should note that Buendia is having an exhibit (more here) on June 17 at Chashama’s space in the Brooklyn Army Terminal.

*It’s been a while since he visited Sunset Park, but sometime-neighborhood photographer Evan Sklar has been busy in New York and nearby states. Check out his blog…maybe we can woo him back for some summertime pics.

Sunset Park Santo, by Vee

*Sunset Park Stills has a show! Photographs of “Sunset Park’s santos” by the Brooklyn local will adorn the walls of Taza de Oro on Eighth Avenue at 14th Street in Manhattan. Take a wander over to Chelsea this weekend (they say the weather’ll be fine), eat food, scope photos and see the other western waterfront.

*Sunset Park songstress Robin Aigner got some coverage on American songwriters. She is a part of a loose core of singers playing with contemporary lyrics over old-timey tunes, lines about the F.D.R. intermixed with calico dresses and strums on an acoustic guitar. You can listen in on her MySpace page.

*Dee the Dinosaur, dedicated to a friend who drifted off one night, disappearing under the Gowanus. Check out that track and others by Brian Bonz and the Dot Hongs at daytrotter.

*Glazer has shots of some new work on the Buendia Productions website. Take a look.
