Description

"...Barrister's has of late entered a Twilight Zone of its own devise, a Gothic hyperspace on the far side... More than just a gallery, it may have inadvertently become a kind of conceptual art environment in its own right. And, unlike most such things, it is an environment devoted to a concept that is ultimately beyond all concepts: the ancient and eternal mysteries of this planet and the cosmos -- as well as lots of other freaky, weird and far out stuff." -- D. Eric Bookhardt, Gambit

Calls for Artists

Open Call For February Group Show at Staple Goods Gallery

Brother, Can You Spare a Day?

2012 is a leap year, meaning that February graciously offers an additional day to our calendar year. The members of Staple Goods have decided to seize this offering as an opportunity to consider our relationship to the tick of the clock, the turn of the calendar page, and the like. We invite you to submit works in any medium that deal with concepts of time, calendars, unexpected extras, second chances, or other subjects that the consideration of Leap Year conjures.

Testemonials

"It's that bracing spirit of art anarchy that makes the on-and-near St. Claude Avenue art scene the spot to watch in 2008."

- Doug MacCash, Times-Picayune, Dec. 28, 2007

"I've told anyone who'll listen that, in many respects it was the most satisfying exhibition I've ever had. Primarily, I think, because of the people who attended. Not at all snooty and pretentious, like many art patrons (Like here in Atlanta f'rinstance). And not superficial dorks cruising from gallery to gallery in search of cheap white wine, but really not interested in the art (Like a crowd I had in Philly a couple of years ago.). I dunno...the people who showed up in NOLA were more straightforward and appreciative. Maybe because of the burgeoning art district you guys are developing there. Or maybe because of the nature of the unfeigned eccentricity of the New Orleans resident.

Thanks again. Let's continue this relationship.
