In The process interact and Collaborate with a collaborative BROOKLYN FASHION GALLERY

As a designer, with an avid interest in product development and the viability od creative collateral. My focus for the designers within Brooklyn Fshion Gallery is’ Where’s your Money at?’ A question which invariably acts as a catalyst for change and a conflict to remain authentic to their art!

The artist mosaic project looks at individual artist and the and how they are strengthened within a community. The culture of co-working and collaboration and explores ways to utilizing that within entrepreneurial situation. We interact closely with artist andobservetheir useand adaptation of emerging tools.

Currently we are exploring Virtual space;its design paradigms, then how The creative entrepreneurs adapts to it and thirdly how the consumer uses, utilizes and adapts that space to their needs..
Our first internet installation A-Liners led tothe A-Liners PhotoBlog which then led Russian Designer Alexander Seraphimoff to us. this was the first online exhibit we specifically put together for a creative artist! During That period we gave many designers blogs which all feed to www.aliners.suprglu.com Our focus on the use of internet tools to help artist create showcasing opportunities extend to music www.bigeyedbluesfestival.com and it’s community network as a tool for creative entrepreneurs. The development of these projects have become vital for the survival of local creative enterprise. the following links give a wide view of projects and I hope it answers any concerns.

Demarketplace is the most recent installation of Artist Mosaic project which explores modern technology and it’s use by today’s artist crafters and designers. Our original focus were ‘ Pop -Up ‘ facilities and special events such as http://ufashionfest.blogspot.com and VBAS Brooklyn Trade show sponsored By Macy’s and we originally used new media solely for documenting purposes. That has since changed and our present project DeMarketplace explores the Virtual marketplace, incubator, office

Artsurfin is a new take on a traditional Art Stroll, We have vast experience pulling together events, have tested and explored every web app and tool we are using. Like most events built around the Internet or developing Mobile technology. Artsurfin as an online concept is new and is the latest project developed as part of the Artist Mosaic project. While www.Brooklynfashiongallery.com is a news portal and content aggregator.. www.Demarketplace.com focuses on the use of the internet for trade purposes. All Programs are beta before official launch in September 2008.

During 2006 to 2007 we took our project to 4W Circe of Art and Enterprise, creating and testing creative enterprise training program. which was featured by Crain’s Report and Channel 2 News . We also develop the website for this incubator. http://wcbstv.com/video/?id=94980@wcbs.dayport.com rising Cost has since forced 4W Circle to close it’s doors. In June 2007 recognizing that this facility would close We were encuoraged to explore a virtual incubator and retail outlet .

The project has progressed organically , In that new directions are generally initiated by artist request. During Brooklyn Fashion Week we will explore the virtual trade show and mobile technology as an entrepreneurial tool.
