Pete's Gone Again

Took a ride in the Natura sprinter to Capitol City Market on Thursday, August 26. We experimented with pendulum painted T-shirts... for sale soon!








Friday, August 27, 2010 New Jersey Sustainability round table conference at TCNJ campus - Mayor Mack was present, along with the mayors of surrounding municipalities and other politicians and bureaucrats. Sustainability is KEY - environmentally, socially, and financially. The Trenton Atelier is experimenting with new methods of living and working in line with this key issue of our time by recycling, composting, using solar and passive technologies, local food production and many other methods of being more sustainable in our every-day affairs.









Friday Night, August 27, 2010 - Gandhi's Poetry Spot at Cafe International. The Cafe was POPPIN on Friday night for another great gathering. GPS is gettin bigger than the venue - be there early for the next one people. BE of TA are also now greeting, seating, and serving all your food and drink needs at Cafe International special events :)




Saturday August 28, 2010 - Community Day in Cadwalader Park hosted by Fathers and men. Was a beautiful day to see so many people our enjoying our community, the weather, and wonderful music. TA performed a pendulum painting and cooked up some dogs on the solar dishes yum yum.











Also began experimentation with garbage bags and moving air (vents, wind, etc)... more to come.

Pete inspects the finished Small World Coffee backpacker table.

Features a full steel design with woven split steel cable backpack rack. Tabletop to be provided by another artist.














Pete also stopped by City Hall on Tuesday just in time to catch Mayor Mack before the City Council Meeting.


We made our cause for the Trenton Atelier at 114 Roebling, and Mack said to present some financials and other paperwork to be reviewed before any decision could be made on the fate of the emaciated building.







114 Roebling as it appears today from the inside.... we can only pray that one day our dreams come true and this abandoned, neglected space becomes the center for Trenton's thriving arts scene by housing resident and visiting artists, displaying works of art, entertaining through concerts and live performance, wining and dining the many visitors to Trenton, and creating inspiration in the youth of our communities.

Simply put, we need to

UNFUCK
TRENTON.

We will work night and day to change this city.

Banksy visits Trenton!!

So today began kind of odd...Bryan was irritated from staying up all night, and rightfully so. Nevertheless, we finished the Small World Coffee table, delivered the Terracycle Ppiece, sold another firebowl, and didnt get evicted from the building...I'd say we had a good day.

Pete and Bryan welding the table:




Picked up some of the new pieces from Cap City:



The Trenton Atelier also gained another resident artist, Jeremy Sypniewski! He brings media marketing and technology experience to the movement and is a great asset for our cause.

We finished the day doing a few Banksy-inspired stencils in select locations around downtown Trenton with Kelly Carvin along for the ride!

Thank you Banksy...for the inspiration ;)
