Exhibition @ Berkeley Gallery Preview Timelapse – Matt Hill Art from Matt Hill on Vimeo. See it on YouTube.

Last Saturday, my good friends Brian and Christian, otherwise known as Attack and Release came over and made music while I was cutting some of the new pieces for the June Exhibition at Berkeley Gallery. I was shooting timelapse of three potential candidate piece for the show while Brian and Christian made gorgeous music. Simply said, we all had a hell of a time making art collaboratively.

Big thanks to Attack and Release for contributing the original music that graces the timelapse. Not sure what’s going to make the show yet, but at least you get a taste of its origins. See you Wed the 9th of June!

I am excited to announce that I will be exhibiting at the Berkeley Gallery from June 1 – 30, 2010.

There will be a public opening on June 9 from 5:30pm – 7:30pm – all are welcome. RSVP is reccomended, but not required. Either email matt [at] matthillart.com or use Facebook.

Location:
Berkeley Gallery: 3 East 43rd Street, Main Floor, New York, NY
Note: Located in Berkeley College

I am preparing a new body of work that includes much larger pieces. Looking forward to seeing you there!

It’s hard to describe all the warm, fuzzy feelings I have the day after my opening. But, I’m going to give it a shot, as there are a lot of people who deserve a shout-out.

First off, huge thanks to my family for coming out early to have a lazy dinner at Klimat. You are wonderful!

Secondly, Mike and Peter at Klimat get mad marks in my book. They are super-friendly, helpful and supportive. You would be hard-pressed to find a more hospitable public space in NYC. I highly recommend spending a few hours at Klimat, you will leave a happier person.

Next up is Plywerk, whose outstanding customer service and personal touch made it possible for me to hang the show the way I envisioned it.

Last and certainly not least is my wonderful group of friends who made time to come to the opening. You made the evening cozy, happy, wonderful, full of light and laughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you. One friend made this comment,

“Made me never want to see an opening at a regular gallery ever again. No boxed wine, no dried out cheese, no strict two-hour window, no people hanging around just for the sake of being seen. The bar has been raised.”

I couldn’t agree more – it was a magical evening.

If you would like to experience it for yourself, drop by Klimat 77 E 7th St, NY, NY (1 block south of St. Marks) Here is what is currently on exhibit.

And give me a shout if you want to have a beer :)
