Actual Size Biennial: Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit
2009 Actual Size BiennialNovember 7 – December 19, 2009
Opening Reception: November 7, 6 pm-11 pm
More than 100 Metro Detroit and Windsor area visual artists will show works in all mediums in the 2009 Actual Size Biennial.
Curated by Aaron Timlin, the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit (CAID) presents this year’s biennial at CAID, “This is always a fun show and I look forward to it every time,” said Timlin who invited each artist to create one work in any medium, 2-D or 3-D, with the stipulation that at least two dimensions are 8 ½” x 11”.
I'll be showing one of my smaller, sound-activated companion pieces to the
ATMOSPHERIC/PRESSURES series:
Atmospheric/Pressures, 2009
Wood, reclaimed latex rubber, dye, sound-reactive circuit, EL-wire.I once got a really bad critique way back in art school about my making sound and light activated work - that the same thing was going on in the lighting aisle of Home Depot and in airport toilets. Yeah, I'm over it now, thanks!
Hope to see you tonight!
Crash + an art opening in New York
Egads, is this thing on? Being so busy has sadly really halted my old penchant for writing on the interwebs, and that's a shame. I miss it, and promise (as usual) to be better this time! So many interesting things have gone undocumented. Bah.
ANYwhooo, if you're in the New York area, tonight
Devotion Gallery in Brooklyn will host one hell of a grand opening show - I'm honored to be showing two photos alongside some truly amazing artists:
Keep Adding;
Arnold Steiner;
Sougwen Chung;
Carrie Villines;
Elisabeth Timpone;
Dan Tesene and
Jeffers Egan.

Carcrash Set here.
Schooled in both sculpture and photography, Bethany Shorb creates elaborate prop, costume and set constructions that blur the line between both editorial fashion photography and performance art documentation. Her recent Crash series refers to J.G. Ballard's novel of the same name with scenes titled by the lyrics of The Normal's song of similar influence, "Warm Leatherette." Technology, celebrity, sex, and death are perversely glamorized and fetishised in unison in a single explosion of red Swarovski crystals and inflated black latex rubber. Models, wardrobe and set decoration all retain the same visual and emotional weight, a hyper-saturated amalgamation exploring the interstitial space between the alluring and repulsive; hedonism and restraint; the seductive speed of expressways and the still finality of Last Rights.

NEW YORK -- Devotion Gallery is pleased to present "Pherepaphe: The Fourfold Roots Of Everything", an inaugural group exhibition opening October 31, 2009.The name "Pherepaphe" alludes to Plato's recontextualization of the Greek goddess Persephone as "wise for seeing that all things in the world are in motion" and who, furthermore, is a part of that dynamic quality. Traditionally, Persephone is known as both the "Queen of the Underworld" and the "Goddess of Fertility". These seemingly disparate titles collide each year on All Hallows Eve, a ghoulish day that also marks the harvest and descent into winter. Persephone's conflicting roles point to the cycle of life and ultimately explain the changing seasons, a process Empedocles referred to as "the fourfold roots of everything".
"Pherepaphe: The Fourfold Roots Of Everything" visually resolves the contradictory elements of Persephone, through her recasting as Pherepaphe and the primordial of the fourfold roots. It makes the necessary visual references to the dark and the sacred, but also to the organic and the dynamic -- the "in-motion" quality that Plato referred to in his renaming of the dark goddess. This group exhibition includes in-gallery work by Arnold Steiner, Bethany Shorb, Carrie Villines, Dan Tesene, Elisabeth Timpone, Keep Adding, and Sougwen Chung. A living installation of dark fashion works by Bird Ov Prey, Cyberoptix, Mercantile, Sinner/Saint, and Victorian Death Kult in November will further underscore the dynamic and ephemeral qualities of Pherepaphe.
"Pherepaphe: The Fourfold Roots Of Everything" will open with a reception at 7:00 p.m. on Halloween, and remain on display until December 14, 2009. The reception will also serve as the public opening for Devotion Gallery, located at 54 Maujer Street in Williamsburg (near the corner of Maujer and Lorimer Streets).
Admission will be free and open to the public. RSVP to
http://AreYouDevoted.com is recommended. Attendees who arrive in-costume will receive one free top-shelf signature cocktail!

ABOUT DEVOTION GALLERYDevotion is a new gallery located in Williamsburg, where space exists as a cross-section of the world at-large. Devotion combines science, art, sound, data, and complexity to reveal our existence as part of an integral whole.
Devotion Gallery will open its doors to the public at 7:00 p.m. on October 31, 2009.

New double-printed series: 7 Deadly Sins and 7 Holy Virtues
A long time in the making, we're proud to finally release the first and second pieces in our new double printed series!
Lust and
Chastity are the first counterpoint in our Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Holy Virtues line. Although they take a lot longer to actually make, the double printed ties are always exciting to design.
Intertwined snakes, conjoined Venus-like ladies, a celestial background - sure to get you hot and bothered.
Looking for a little more restraint? The padlock on the front is marked with the word "Castus" meaning "chaste" in Latin.
Be extra reminded of your favorite sin or virtue as the words "Lust" or "Chastity" are also printed inside a regal banner on the back tail of the tie.
Shop Local: Los Angeles [A+R]
This is the second in our "Shop Local" series of posts, our first was the Detroit edition - today we're heading west! Last week we proudly shipped two huge boxes of brand new silk and microfiber ties in both standard, narrow and skinny widths (and some super special ones for Valentine's Day!) to one of our favorite shops,
A+R in Los Angeles.
Michael and I were fortunate enough to be able to personally make a visit to A+R on Abbott Kinney when we were out there last September for a friend's wedding. (And our friends got some really sweet gifts as a result!) A+R was our lifesaver...and we sure wish it was more local to us...but fear not, they have a fantastic website stocked with all sorts of wonderful wares if you're not in the area...but if you are, by all means check them out. You won't be sorry! P.S. I want one of everything in there.
A+R - "Global design. Edited." is British ex-pat Andy Griffith, a former film editor and self-avowed design junkie, and Rose Apodaca, a pop culture and style journalist. A+R obsessively seeks out the newest products, aiming to offer them first.
"We love talking about the designers we find locally and from afar, because it only goes to show that this brilliant and bold community is not so much distinguished by geographic or cultural boundaries but bound by the pursuit of aesthetics and innovative ideas."

New York Times bestseller list in September 2008. She is currently wrapping up a biography on Fred Hayman, co-founder of Giorgio Beverly Hills and marketing architect of Rodeo Drive, as well as co-authoring a beauty book with neo-burlesque queen and style icon, Dita Von Teese.

New designs, sneak peek valentine!
A happy early Valentine's to everyone! We're in the throes of shooting a few new designs here at the 'Lab and hope to have them properly up for grabs on the site tomorrow. We're about to debut "Lust" and "Chastity" - the first in the
Seven Deadly Sins/7 Holy Virtues series for 2009. Here's a sneak peek, we like tickling your fancy.
Chastity - black pearl on black narrow.
Lust - gold on burgundy narrow.
This one came out this past fall, but is appropriate given the season - who isn't a little cuckoo over an object of his or her affection?
Cuckoo - copper on olive narrow.
We've also re-released an old anatomical favorite:
Heart Attack - copper on olive narrow.
Ties are always very useful to have about the bedroom or boardroom.
Stay naughty,

A fond farewell to the holiday rush...
Happy new year to all from the TieLab! We made it through the holidays once again, every last parcel was shipped by X-mas Eve. The studio has been cleaned of all the little clippings, ink splotches and doo-dads strewn about everywhere (and mountains of take-away boxes) tons of new materials have been ordered, and cheeky new designs are in the works.
Here are a few photos of one of our last shipping days.
Normally there are no sad pouty faces in the 'Lab, but it was about 30 below with the windchill and I was making the poor thing suffer while fumbling for my camera - this was at nearly 4am. I am truly evil and sadistic.
If I can remember correctly, this was from the very last day after the last drop was made, and celebratory stickers went on noses!So now I'm making up some new designs for you all to give your sweet things on Valentine's day, as always, they'll be subtly (or woefully) inappropriate. Hope to have 'em on out in the next few weeks.
Thank you all for a most fantastic holiday season.
Much love, health and prosperity.

CORE77: 77 Design Gifts Under $77
Venerable design blog CORE77 picks out
this year's 77 under $77 most coveted/best design objects/books/and causes to donate your loot to. Hugest thanks in the universe to the editors for including the TieLab!
Cyberoptix Tie Lab: Ties That Don't Suck!
$40 microfiber (w/ wood box), $50 silk, (w/ wood box)
The original Ties That Don't Suck. Hand-screenprinted neckwear in a premium wood gift-packaging that's Forest Stewardship Council certified. The TieLab manufactured a maligned accessory in a maligned city, quietly hoping to turn around the perception of both to one of subversive enjoyment.With the economy being rather crap right now, we sure can use tips on where to find the good, clever stuff in exchange for comparatively few duckets. People always comment that my prices are too low, but I'm a stickler for not raising them just because there's some obtuse need for design objects to cost a lot. I call BS! (And it's my initials, I can't wear it out...)
If anyone is looking to send the TieLab presents, look to this list. We especially like the throwing star magnets.
Detroit By Design 4 Year, in pictures
Cyberoptix Tie Lab founder and designer Bethany Shorb ties on one with the boys. - oh
WDIV/Angela's Eye, you are teh fuuuunnny! ;) Soooo true....
Thanks so much to the hordes of people that made it to a magnificent show,
Detroit By Design's 4 Year Anniversary was our first runway show in a long time. How do you make showing a tiny little accessory into something that people will bother taking a look at? Super interesting models and photographers sure don't hurt. ;) Binding them with hundreds of ties (and tape) is a good start too. Special thanks to my main photographers
Amy Hubbarth, Josh (
grimindistries.com) and Christos (
detroitartist.org) for capturing all the brou-haha and my models...of course. Without them, neckties just really aren't all that exciting.
Sample/debut from a forthcoming line of latex dresses crafted from re-purposed, cold-war era weather balloons. Yes, this means "something other than ties" is in the works. *gasp*!
Such patient, tolerant and loyal models let me half-blind them and wrap their pretty little heads in tape!
Enough screwing around in the portrait area, on to the runway...
So at about 1am, a quick costume change and our dj alter-egos
DETHLAB+1 come out to play. I'm not sure what I thought I was doing, but I was hell-bent on making the most ridiculous faces and faux-music-making o-faces on this green earth. We must have been having fun or something. Photos all by Amy...
Broken goat? Here I am apparently quite dismayed at the site of my comparatively flaccid goat. Where is my goat? Where is my mind? who the eff knows.
My goat-throwing can sure use some work, but the fist pumping I have down. Yep. Most certainly do. RAWK. I look constipated, I assure you I wasn't.
Who me? I didn't do it. Dear lord it's a good thing I don't have much in the way of boobs, cuz that would have been a nipslip for sure.
So that's it for now. We had a fantastic show and then dj set after. Not that playing other people's music is particularly difficult, but we sure seem to have a darned fine time doing it. Doing two shows in one night was an extra special bit of fun especially while in the throes of getting holiday orders out the door, but we're masochists and wouldn't have it any other way. More special thanks to Mr. Doyle for help in visually producing the show and modeling, and my assistant David Blunk II for both walking the show as well and keeping my sanity.

Take a peek at some brand new designs, and a favorite new model:
Topographical Error A large area of the tie is printed with distressed remnants of 1900's sea-depth estimates taken in Scandinavian and Arctic waters. These levels are rapidly changing now due to climactic shift.
Cable Tie: (Haha, we made a funny!) Yes, it is a tie full of cables - 1/4" and RCA connectors. A large, bold print - great for dj's, producers, guitarists and all sorts of music nerds. Original illustration.
Our fierce new model for winter: Rick. Woooo! He's got on one of our best selling ties,
Victorian Gears, originally made for Alan and Siouxie's wedding last year, but now released in tons of colors and finishes. They're still cute as ever too.

Epic photo post: what I did on my "summer vacation"
What better way to spend Labor Day eve? I guess I'm supposed to be not laboring or some such hooha, so let's have a semi-proper Summer wrap-up, with a look at what's been going on inside the TieLab - more on the process end of things rather than product.
Overall, we're pretty product-obsessed, but our new-ish studio space has begun to make a world of difference in terms of what, how, and the quality of production. It's been, for the most part - to quote the internets -
full of win.
For those following along at home, in the beginning of March we began our migration down from the sixth floor, a tiny wee spot (ok, super-massive by nyc standards, LOLZ). It was less than one quarter of the whole floor. Our new spot a few levels down is a full half of the floor, clocking in at nearly 3000 sq'! Awesome, right? Well, most certainly, except it was
hit and required one serious load of work to transform from a predominantly afterhours raveity-rave spot to a proper studio. (Yes, we had a
EPIC SUPER RAVE one small little gathering of friends since then, and no, we won't talk about that now. ;) Thnx!
A few befores and afters (please pardon some of the camera phone shots - they're not the best but at least you can get an idea of what we've been up to. When it's a little more done, hopefully some better pictures will follow):
BEFORE:
Main printing area at brightest time of the day. AFTER:
Main printing area at brightest time of the day. 
A little cheap laminate goes a long wayOf course there were the many requisite trips to Ikea, which is always a good time!
And yes, we had to buy one. Some designer at Ikea is funny.
One of the big Ikea quests was getting some proper lighting - although the studio is well bathed in light during the day, as soon as 8pm hits now, it goes dark pretty darned fast. With 16' ceiling, it turns into a lightless cave.
Being able to actually
see what you're printing really rules!
Ikea is great, but it alone gets a little boring, so I've been trolling craigslist to try and find some key pieces that would otherwise be financially implausible.
Hello Saarinen! Painting by Joe Jagos who has since migrated to nyc. bastard.We've been up to much more than just re-decorating and minor construction. We've had a few school groups through to tour the space, given some talks on running your own shop and studio business and have had some wonderful press opportunities. Our other giganto project was the acquisition of our new
packaging. 1000 wood boxes = very heavy!
Of course this happened on one of the hottest days of the summer. We all look...ravishing! ;)
So what did you do on your Summer vacation? At some point, I'd like to actually go on vacation.

Plaid Habit - new design + new silk!
New design of the week - Plaid Habit! (har har har)
Are you a design addict or fashion victim? Interlocking vintage syringes are reversed and doubled in a kaleidoscopic pattern. Fresh from the prep school underworld! Wahoo.
Finally, I have silk in colors, it's been a few years and a few manufacturers (and one positively terrifying quantity!) in order to allow them able to remain affordable ($40). Of course I still have the microfiber which is even kinder ($30) to the wallets, easier to care for and appropriate for our vegan friends. But silk. Finally. So excited. This new silk has a tight weave, is a bit more matte and as a result, holds the print detail really, really well.
Still all hand-printed right here in our downtown Detroit studio. With love.
Angela's Eye + our new NICE PACKAGE
Hanging At The House Of 'Ties That Don't Suck' - Angela, of Angelaseye.com/WDIV Channel 4 spent the afternoon in the TieLab last week.
To coincide with our nice little chit-chat, I stayed up all night last night (this morning, ugh!) and was finally able to add our NICE PACKAGE to the necktie offerings. Hopefully I didn't screw anything up too bad. I code only well enough to get myself into trouble. ;)
We also have a brand spankin' new new design I'm more excited about than a can of snakes feigning to be honey roasted peanuts: Fool's Gold.
That's the news. It's a Friday in August and we should be on vacation like everyone else...but we're not, because we love you.
Nice Package!
We're about to introduce some snazzy new packaging - it's all here and finally finished! Hopefully I'll some have time to add it to the site this weekend and rebuild the cart. It's my folks' 35th wedding anniversary (!!!) and there should be the litany of requisite sitting on planes and trains to reach good ol' Connecticut - which means lots on non-printing time where I can attend to much-procrastinated tasks like site updates. :P This is M&D's last hurrah soiree before moving down to sunny Florida, so many congrats to the parental units.
So back to that nice package. Each "gen-U-ine" pine box comfortably holds one necktie or scarf, is screenprinted, velveteen-lined, and varnished for your protection. A perfect
coffin keepsake and presentation device for your nifty new neckwear! Each one is somewhat different due to the differences in woodgrain pattern, I've been picking out my favorites all week. And another added bonus - it really protects the tie from wrinkling in transit. I Just did a test-mailing to myself to see how they fared. :)
This upgrade in extreme swankitude should only cost you a mere 10 bones more...still running all the numbers on that but should be in the $10-$12 range for the sweet package upgrade. ANyway, stay tuned to
cyberoptix.com for their launch.
Naka trunkshow photos
A quick report - better late than never? Our recent trunk show at
Naka in Ferndale was a huge success! Thanks to the staff at Naka and Stephanie of
Phantom Limb for all their help and enthusiasm. It was good to see local folks and bring the cases out of the studio, and who can turn down wine, cheese and conversation?
AWWWWW! Merry studio assistants soooo cute!
More on Kill Devil Hill
People just can't stop
talking about our Cowboy and Kill Devil Hill!
The retail stores on Franklin Street are organically developed; they are creative, unique visions of the shop keepers. Kill Devil Hill is no exception. The exciting part of this general store is that pretty much every time you visit, you will see new things. Cowboy Mark has "a whole barn-full" of unique one-of-a-kind items that will be gradually revealed. Brockman added that they both travel a lot and are always finding new things...Again, it's great to have a cravat-home in Brooklyn...stop on by for some old-timey goodness!
