  • The 16th Annual Charlie Parker Festival

    Throughout the forties, Charlie Parker revolutionized jazz and immortalized the Lower East Side by capturing its combustive atmosphere and translating it into music. It is no wonder that every year the Lower East Side returns a little bit of the favor by celebrating Charlie Parker, his life and his legacy, as well as his deep rooted relationship with this neighborhood, through A Gathering of the Tribes' Charlie Parker Festival.
    This year, A Gathering of the Tribes is please to present the 16th Annual Charlie Parker Festival, entitled "BIRD LIVES," from August 2 - August 29. More information about this year's festival can be found here

Ernest Hemingway (A Review of Tao Lin’s Richard Yates)

Since I have like three venues to publish it in, and I told Tao I needed a galley, I feel obliged to write a review of Tao Lin’s novel, Richard Yates. I don’t think I will ever read anything by Richard Yates. Reading Tao Lin has a way of erasing any literary knowledge […]


Just Kids, a Memoir by Patti Smith: “Because of Robert”

Reviewed by K.A. Sitafalwalla

Partially a proclamation to the 1970’s, the artists and the derelicts, the rich and poor, the talented and talent-less, “Just Kids” stands as an ode to friendship and love; everything in between. Patti Smith’s memoir is poetic and true with an honesty and straightforwardness that is disguised in her poetry and music. […]


I Need That Record Store: Retail as Club Membership

by Kurt Gottschalk

I first heard about it when I was about 12 — a store where Kiss albums could be procured for about a dollar less than at the mall; a store that, strangely, wasn’t in the mall. It wasn’t far, but it did mean asking my mother to make another trip.

Things seemed different at […]


Whitney Biennial 2010

By Vedan Anthony-North

With a name like “2010” you don’t really know what to expect when heading to the 2010 Whitney biennial. Unfortunately, you don’t really know what to think about the exhibit after leaving either. Though the theme of “2010” is justified by the curators Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari in the exhibit’s […]


THE LATEST FROM OILSPILLVILLE

By : Brian Boyles, New Orleans
It was getting a little too possible, you know? That we might make it, that whatever the forces leveled at our survival, they were internal, fixable, matters of fairness or racial understanding or budgeting. We could do that, couldn’t we? The Saints won, didn’t they? […]

In Church with Branded Knees

by Ayshia Stephenson
I don’t want him to tear my clothing off anymore. I don’t want him to crush my serenity
into this tiny spit of a paper ball, pit stuck in my throat, like it sits in a child who can not
say: please get it out. Branded knees need a buffer from a pebbled surface. Can […]


The Reunion: A Forecast by Suejin Suh

 
The Reunion: A Forecast                                                                           by Suejin Suh
 
 
Has it been more than three years?  Three or four years-ish since you cleverly sang,  
At the airport, we’ll cross paths walking, walking towards opposite ends/ like almostly- forgotten lovers who had seeming common sense.” (They lusted. Lusted incensed.)
 
Or was this an impromptu melody I made just […]

UNPOP curatorial statement

by Janet Bruesselbach
“A free society is one in which it is safe to be unpopular.” –Adlai Stevenson
Unpop has a variety of playful reactions to both art as commodity and the political legacy of pop art. Art is a commodity so oversupplied that it may be the testing grounds for a post-scarcity economy. Its economy of […]

A Lost and Found Art Show

August 2010 / with the annual Charlie Parker Festival

Reception with performances by Emily Hultman and her band, and Zachary King

Saturday August 14 7pm-10pm

A Gathering of the Tribes Gallery

285 E 3rd St. Second Floor New York 10009

LES/East Village, between Aves C and D near the F, L and 6 lines

thumbabyandfriends This August, we celebrate how a gallery has become an orphanage for
lost art. The makers rejected their object offspring, forgot them, or mostly simply hoped this gallery could give them better, or gave in kind. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, epochs and climates, the objects attract questions about context and absurdity, and evidence many years of Tribes history. The abandoned pieces themselves draw away from the common notion of artists’ ownership and intent and rather forces an understanding of how the collective unconscious, intentional or not, can bring new appreciation for such works once placed in a home together. Each piece has its own life story to tell, and every viewer plays a large role in discovering it.

More than a few pieces remain from previous Charlie Parker Festivals, and the lively interplay of downtown styles celebrates the Bird and his generous lifestyle.  The outcome of living for the sake of one’s art, whatever it may be, and pushing the boundaries of what that art can be, becomes most brilliantly weird in the periphery.

Works will be available for silent auction, prices based on whatever information was kept with the piece.  At least one room will be all $0 to start, with $1 bid increments.  Come help them reclaim their history and give them a loving home.  Includes work by Chris Twomey, Hilary Maslon, and Emilio Cruz. Sales benefit Tribes.

Benefit organizer/curator: Thom Corn, 212.529.4667, 917.553.7639

From the Curator:
I conceived of this ART EXHIBITION and SALE as an opportunity to support one of
New York’s most precious resources…A Gathering of the Tribes…”Tribes is an historical
(20 years) arts and literary salon,a gem here on the Lower East Side,dedicated to an
diverse view and eclectic presentation of music,visual art,poetry,prose,performance and so much more…
As an arch conceptualist I dreamed of an installation that would bring together the
best of our kind with a body of works which would represent 30 to 35 years of art and culture making in New York City and its greater environs,art and the artists who have literally changed and will change the way we look at and think and hear the world.
So here it is “A STARTER KIT FOR COLLECTORS”…
If one astute or smart or savvy or forward thinking individual, institution or group would
recognize and purchase the show as a compendium of that 30 to 35 years they would indeed possess the representation of one of the most significant eras of human development of understanding and the human interface generated by that understanding that art from this nerve center we call NYC, creates for the good and in its turn turn generates more…and what is more-will,by that purchase,in turn support a astute and savvy and insightful and forward thinking organization…A GATHERING OF THE TRIBES…
