New York Minute features sixty artists in and around New York City who capture the drama, danger, speed and savvy of the vibrant and diverse art activities happening in the city today. This exhibition brings together for the first time the best of the downtown community, showing behind the scenes connections and collaborations between artists not only in Manhattan but in the extended network that includes active art spots like Providence, Miami, San Francisco, or Philadelphia. New York is exploding with new talent and though not every one of these artists live in the city, every single artwork nonetheless contains the immediacy and energy packed into a New York Minute…The expression “a New York Minute” refers to the speed that New Yorkers react to stimuli, with a bit of impatience and a bit of ingenuity and savviness thrown in. Johnny Carson once described a New York Minute as being the time it takes “From the lights to turn green, till the guy behind you starts honking his horn”. During the late 1980s crime wave, David Letterman defined a New York Minute as the length of time it took to be mugged in New York City. Or like Chris Johanson’s clock that is the show’s main image, a New York Minute is simultaneous, constant, crazed and beautiful.With that in mind, these sixty artists show a rapid and resourceful response to current cultural events and issues specific to their generation. Mostly emerging artists and young artists living in downtown New York, this exhibition explores some of the leading tendencies in new art making such as: updating action painting and abstraction with the toughness of the streets, synthesizing low pop culture into handmade heartfelt hybrids, taking conceptualism to new and absurd ends, organizing into collectives and bands to take all their interdisciplinary art on tour, and bringing a downtown punk attitude to assemblage, collage and sculpture.The sheer variety of this new, energetic art making defies pressing and releasing so the best conceptualization of this show is that all the included artists are indeed in lived reality a tightly-knit group of interconnected and collaborating artists. All these people have exhibited together, partied together, dated, studied together, or painted together at the very most two levels of removal from each other. Collaborative assume vivid astro focus has worked with almost a third of these artists at some point. Downtown New York City organizer Aaron Bondaroff has worked with at least half of them. This exhibition truly represents a cross section of an expanded artist community.“Downtown Don” Aaron Bondaroff will turn the upper deck of one museum building into a pop-up shop with all the zines, records, stickers, t-shirts, and books this group of active artists have produced along the way. Renowned downtown designer Rafael de Cardenas will be styling both this space and also the overall exhibition design. Tinyvices creator Tim Barber will be curating his own section of the exhibition with contributions from his network of artists and photographers from around the world.This exhibition is produced by the >DEPART Foundation, Rome in conjunction with the MACRO Museum, Rome and is supported by the Province of Rome, Adidas, Peres Projects, Wallspace, O.H.W.O.W. Miami, and Deitch Projects.This book is dedicated to Dash Snow… RIP Dash.

The Autobiography of: ANYThing’s/L.E.S’s A-Ron aka A-Ron the DON aka Aaron Bondaroff…

…The book is primarily shots of an entry by MR. Bondaroff at an art show that appeared at the A.S.S. gallery (Asia Son Society) in NYC’s LES sometime last year… If you missed the show to read whats the skinny on the T’s, now you can take his Bio home.
Her’s a taste for now…
- Growing up in Brooklyn with a Puerto Rican mother and Jewish father, both of them New Wave health nuts, Bondaroff’s family was atypical in more ways than one. When he was young, A-ron’s father schemed to make extra money; the whole family sold “blue-green algae” with chlorophyll that was supposed to give you energy. “Kids who knew nothing about the health food game—we had them sold… We came up with a better hustle than the pyramid money scam; we had the super blue green algae!”
- A-ron and his family had trouble with pets. They froze their hamsters and dyed Pepper the dog purple. But A-ron’s biggest problem was with the two Siamese cats; every time he brought a girl up to his room, the cats would sit and stare at the action: “Cats are very sexual like that,” He says in the book.
- A-ron was always causing trouble at the camp he and his sisters attended each summer. One of his punishments for being (admittedly) a pain was clearing rocks off a field all day. Years later, counselors joked that the camp’s new arena should be named Aaron Bondaroff Field—because he cleared the way for it!
-In the ninth grade, his friend’s brother began to DJ at clubs in the city. A-ron was under age, so he would carry the records to get in, nap until people arrived, and then dance for the rest of the night. “[We'd] do this every Thursday. Every fucking Thursday. I would hit the club, get home like 5 AM, and then wake up at 8 AM and go to school. I was living a secret life.”
-After a long night in Manhattan, A-ron and his friends would take cabs back to Brooklyn (and usually cheat the driver by running out on the tab). When the cabbie refuse to take five people, they would stuff a kid into the trunk, until one friend, Salamander, was forgotten. “He ended up at JFK… The driver opened the trunk and Salamander popped out like the Crypt Keeper. He jumped out of the trunk and ran.”
-Though he says he’s always been called A-ron, he added “the Don” to his graffiti tag, and it stuck. Later, friends started calling him the Dirty Rotten Don. “It’s funny when you have a name you start to become that name. Like Dirty Rotten Don. The name started to take over the person. I was getting dirtier and more rotten, but at the same time I was learning how to be a Don.”
-A-ron claims he was always good with word play, so when he started his own brand, it follows that the name would be clever. aNYthing was all about living and breathing the streets of New York. “One day runs into the next—and as demented as it might sound to an average person, it’s still this freedom that we dream about and live, sometimes, in the city, a paradise island of opportunities.”

Elms- “I originally didn’t want to do any of my own books for the launch but I had this idea kicking around for awhile so I decided to get it done. This book is based around Kilroy, a subject that I have worked with before. The idea of where it came from always fascinated me so I wanted to really explore that idea by combining it with everything I could think of.”
