A joint benefit to assist SWOON and the New Orleans Airlift is currently being planned for February 18th at the Antenna Gallery (www.antennagallery.org) in New Orleans' Bywater Neighborhood. Antenna has generously donated their space for a silent auction featuring screenprints by SWOON among many others. Musical acts Dark, Dark, Dark from New York, Church Rag (New Orleans), and Ratty Scurvics doing a rare piano set will accompany the auction, and a dance party featuring the Airlift's own Rusty Lazer will follow. Proceeds will be donated to assist the Airlift in it's upcoming visit to Berlin and the SWOON's Swimming Cities of Serenissma which is a flotilla of three intricately hand crafted vessels that will navigate the Adriatic Sea from Koper, Slovenia to Venice, Italy in May, 2009. The boats are descendants of the flotillas Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea (Hudson River, 2008, www.switchbacksea.org) and the Miss Rockaway Armada (Mississippi River, 2005 and 2006, www.missrockaway.org). Join us, get some new art for your shack, and help artists do what they do best in places they've only dreamed of!

Deitch Projects' Artist SWOON Dresses Up The Ninth Ward For The New Orleans Airlift!
Internationally known artist Swoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swoon_(artist)) visited The New Orleans Airlift in Halloween for a week of costumes and wheatpasting. In addition to leaving her mark on our future offices, she traveled around town and into the Lower Ninth Ward to bring her particular kind of people-centered beauty to neglected buildings and houses.
Doug McCash, Arts writer for the New Orleans Times Picayune, covered it from his perspective on his widely-read blog. In the past few months Doug's work has become the center of a debate in New Orleans over the merits of graffiti versus architectural blight following his controversial discussion of the work of Banksy, a London based graffiti writer cum fine artist who left his (very politically astute) mark on the city last summer. See Doug's video of Swoon's work here...
