September 25th, 2012

by Irina Makarova

Born in Siberia, Slava Mogutin is a New York-based visual artist and writer, whose multidisciplinary work delves into themes of transgression, gender politics, culture clash, adolescent sexuality, and more. Banned from Russia in 1995 for his critical writing and open vocalization of gay culture, as well as his attempt to register the first same-sex marriage, Mogutin received political asylum in the States. Author of two acclaimed photography books, Lost Boys and NYC Go-Go, as well as seven Russian publications, Mogutin is now at work on a book of panoramic travel photos, as well as upcoming art exhibits: “Diana World Tour” at Lomography gallery store opening September 27^th, and “Skin Graphs/Metabods” at Envoy Enterprises on November 15^th.

Super queer-centric gallery Envoy Enterprises is expanding this month with the opening of a new Lower East Side space. The 2,500 square foot duplex at 87 Rivington opens on September 13, with the launch of Desi Santiago’s “This Pop is Perfection,” a “sculptural environment comprised of new video, miniature robots, custom-made suits and masks.” While the new space will host the gallery’s upcoming fall program, Envoy’s space at 131 Chrystie will host the gallery’s special projects schedule. Santiago’s show runs through October 14.

Dear Shaded Viewers, 

The Envoy Enterprises gallery space will be christened with the work of the artist Desi Santiago promises a multi-sensory ritual that you, the viewer, will participate in and an enigmatic environment fluctuating between the realms of seduction and mourning.

At the same time as his solo exhibition at 87 Rivington, Santiago will have a satellite installation on view at envoy enterprise's project space on 131 Chrystie St.

During Art Basel Miami 2012 Desi Santiago will transform The Lords Hotel into the body of a black dog named Gypsy.

 Later,

 

Diane

Preview: Desi Santiago at envoy enterprises NYC

September 10th, 2012 by Aaron Berger

 

Desi Santiago recently opened a solo show at envoy enterprises’ 87 Rivington St. NYC. The show includes sculpture, installation, and video works in “an enigmatic environment fluctuating between the realms of seduction and mourning”. Robotic skulls with chattering dentures,  glowing pentagrams, and masks cast from the artist’s face are a few of the things you will find in the space’s first floor and basement. This looks really good and should not be missed. Click past the jump to see more of what you can expect from the show, which is entitled This Pop is Perfection.

Desi Santiago, “This Pop is Perfection,” at Envoy Enterprises, 131 Chrystie Street, September 13-October 14

A former New York club-kid who went by the alias Desi Monster, Santiago’s work is a fusion of fetish attire with a goth-metal twist, and if the balloon demons and illuminated occult symbols he’s made in the past are any indication, his fall show will be a funhouse of creepy wonders. — A Martinez
