A talented group of local artists, designers, musicians and chefs were joined by over 5,000 visitors for what became a magical evening.  Nomadic in nature, the next Bazaar will take place over three nights in a vast 40,000 sq ft warehouse with soaring ceilings. Highlights will include:

Artist films, projections and installations programmed by NBNY Projects.

Specially designed layout by JDS/Julien De Smedt Architects.

Live music and DJ sets including James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), The Crystal Ark, Midnight Magic, The Hold Steady, Titus Andronicus, Wakey!Wakey!, and more. See Ticketfly.com for tickets to the Bazaar’s performance space.

Beer and wine garden featuring local breweries and wineries.

Another spectacular line-up for 2010, from the fine folks over at Sunday Best – the easy-going, late afternoon, backyard barbecue cum dance party. Every Sunday from May 30th to September 5th at Brooklyn Yard, a leafy waterside lot on the Gowanus Canal, they’re serving up tacos on fresh-made tortillas (via the Red Hook Ballfields) with cold sangria and beers while resident DJs JUSTIN CARTER, EAMON HARKIN and DOUG SINGER play alongside some of the finest DJs to ever take on a back yard.

SOME QUOTES TO LIVE BY

I think advertising should be like poison gas. It should grip you by the throat, it should bowl you over, it should knock you on your ass.
GEORGE LOIS
Fonts are like cologne, a bad choice speaks louder than a good one.
JUSTIN FIENSTIEN
Good design goes to heaven. Bad design goes everywhere!
THE DESIGNERS REPUBLIC
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
DOUGLAS ADAMS
Design is easy. All you do is stare at the screen until drops of blood form on your forehead.
MARTY NEUMEIER
The distance between insanity and genius is only measured by success.
BRUCE FEIRSTEIN
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.
SCOTT ADAMS
Good design is good business.
THOMAS J. WATSON
Design trends online change more often than the wind, and slightly less often than my socks.
SULEIMAN LEADBITTER
Art is like masturbation. It is selfish and introverted and done for you and you alone. Design is like sex. There is someone else involved, their needs are just as important as your own, and if everything goes right, both parties are happy in the end.
COLIN WRIGHT
The life of a designer is a life of fight against the ugliness.
There is no design without discipline. There is no discipline without intelligence.
MASSIMO VIGNELLI
Practice safe design, use a concept.
PETRULA VRONTIKIS
Math is easy, design is hard.
JEFFREY VEEN
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
HUNTER S. THOMPSON
I have a brain and some hands and every once in a while it feels like they’re working together. Those are the best moments.
People ignore design that ignores people.
FRANK CHIMERO
Vision without execution is hallucination.
THOMAS EDISON
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart & intuition.
It's not the consumers job to know what they want.
Stay hungry, stay foolish.
STEVE JOBS
A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.
L.P. JACK
