7/23/2009- ELLIS GALLAGHER artist reception

"Please join us for the artist's reception
 Thursday, July 23rd
at Collective Hardware
169 Bowery (between Delancey and Broome streets)

In his highly anticipated debut solo exhibition, Ellis Gallagher
continues his creative quest in de-objectifying the common street icon
and manifests it into the surreal. His sidewalk chalk drawings of the
city's overlooked objects - mailboxes, garbage cans, street signs,
bicycles etc. - have become a trademark in street art culture
worldwide. OCULAR ECHOISM: THE AUTONOMY OF ELLIS GALLAGHER is
collectively the artist's most ambitious body of work to date and
includes limited edition prints, original photography, fire tags and
an indoor New York City street scene installation, garbage included.

de L'autonomy is proud to be displaying its first major project in the
Lower East Side's innovative and multifaceted art facilitation and
production house, Collective Hardware.

7PM: Connor and Jacob from THE DRUMS DJ

10PM: THE DRUMS live set

The de L'autonomy mission:
Art for arts sake; art for our sake: art that explodes beyond the
confines of institutionalized spaces. The exuberant, unplanned and
manifestly farcical elements that characterize autonomous art in all
its arresting forms serve as the mainstay of de l'autonomy. Providing
a channel for the dynamic presentation and exchange of ideas, culture
and images.
