RSH & Panman Arts present: Like The Spice Gallery Group Show
Posted on 05. Mar, 2010 by DanielKalmar in Art at Roger Smith, Arts, Hotel
Featuring the work of Jason Bryant, Allison Edge, and Ross Racine March 19th, 2010 – April 18th, 2010 Opening Reception: Friday March 19th 7-10pm Roger Smith Hotel 501 Lexington Ave Lobby Gallery, and Solarium Gallery 16th fl.
Like the Spice and the Roger Smith Hotel are pleased to announce that they have joined creative forces to present a group show featuring Like the Spice artists Jason Bryant, Allison Edge, and Ross Racine. The Roger Smith Hotel, a positive, open and friendly spot in Midtown Manhattan, nestled amongst the skyscrapers, is not just a hotel, but also a location for guests and visitors to get a taste of the up and coming New York arts scene. Located at 501 Lexington Avenue with its Solarium Gallery on the 16th floor, has had a long history of hosting creative and entertaining exhibitions that stimulate thought and conversation. Like the Spice is extremely excited to be invited and why we think our artists will fit their style perfectly.
In the lobby of the hotel you will find the shapes of spirals, explosions and clouds that mirror the strange psychology of Quebec-born artist Ross Racine’s fictional suburban developments. Ross has shown extensively across the United States and Canada. His “digital drawings” are hand-drawn directly by computer, creating communities that could be taken from some otherworldly Mapquest. They are in no way photographs, yet still carry a convincing feel, leaving you with the assumption that someone, somewhere, has been to see these communities in person.
Come join us on opening night, March 19th, as we begin our very exciting month-long stay at the Roger Smith Hotel! And please come to view more of these artists’ works and more at Like the Spice as we will remain open and will be hosting our own exhibition on site!

Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by AdamWallace in fashion
Victoria & Richard Emprise was created by the artists, Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs. This intimitable couple tickled the turn of the 20th century upside down. Then tumbled into today with leaps and bounties of inventions and intentions to rattle the shackles of protocol with a wry wink to the world. The designs of Victoria and Richard fetch the fancy and unfeigned wisdom within us each and shower them with crisp inspiration to conquer the callous. Their collections are full of exuberant and funky designs in dinnerware, stemware, tabletop accessories including lamps and vases.
Whether you are looking for jewelry, a purse, a lamp and magical carpet- they have it all!
Come visit them at RS POP- 501 Lexington Ave @ the Roger Smith Hotel.
FLEABAG TRUNK SHOW at RS POP- Dec 7th and 8th from 6-9pm
Posted on 05. Dec, 2009 by AdamWallace in fashion
Fleabags are ideal Fleamarket totes
Friends and family have used them for
Weekends away,
Trips to the beach,
Jaunts to the grocery store
And to carry anything numerous or unwieldly.
They are sturdy and made of eco-friendly materials.
Organic Cotton/Hemp Canvas
Vegetable-Tanned, American and Italian Leather
Water-Based Ink
Locally Made in New York
By Hand
In Limited Edition
Shira Entis, a fashion designer and lover of all things tiny and over-sized, and Alex Bell, a lawyer and seeker of adventures, have been fleamarket addicts since they met ten years ago at Brown University. Frustrated by the inconvenience and environmental hazard of accumulating several plastic bags while marketing, they craved a convenient and fashion-hot tote that could fit all of their wares. Fleabags are designed as their ideal solution – dapper, large, lightweight and sturdy carry-alls – that are also eco-minded. Thus the brand Fleabags began in 2009 while both still worked their day jobs in New York City.
THEY ARE ECO FRIENDLY
An important part of the Fleabags venture was to create a bag that was as Green as possible while maintaining high quality and covetable design. Thus much research was put into the types of canvas, leather and parts available in the United States that would fit their eco-friendly standards. Fleabags are wholly sourced in the US and made in New York of certified organic cotton / hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and water-based silkscreen ink. Fleabags use no glues or toxic paints, just good old fashion sewing.
LTD ED.
The Original Flea bags are made in Limited Edition by hand and with the Edition Number written on each bag. Four colorways are offered- White, Saddle, Coffee Bean and Pebble. Please inquire at sales@fleabg.com for information about our next set of production.

Posted on 16. Nov, 2009 by AdamWallace in Community
LEJKARAMA- Created by Lejka Sievert and Nicole Arama
Transforming and Modifying objects into new aesthetic purposes. 3 Main Collection Concepts: T-Shirts, Versatile Dresses and the Safety Pinned Line T-Shirt collection is based on vintage objects, the designs and placements are strategized to compliment and accentuate the body.
The Versatile dress collection gives the little black dress concept a new name, and let’s women re-invent themselves and is their chameleon staple. Safety Pin collection changes the purpose of “an object”- they choose ubiquitous pins and utilitize it as an ornamental graphic statement, not just a functional piece.
Homemade BFF Fashion Friday tip of the week.
