In late 2010, I co-founded the apartment gallery Small Black Door in Ridgewood, Queens with my friend Matthew Mahler. We had our first show called All My Friends, which had a pretty incredible turnout. Granted, I should have put this up earlier, but you can sign up to our mailing list on the Small Black Door website to stay up to date on our shows.
There is also a Facebook page where you
can stay up to date on the space as well.
The exhibition How to Break Up with Yourself was voted as one of the top 10 art events of 2010 in all of Atlanta. I was pretty excited about it. You can view the entire list here at Burnaway. You can also check out the exhibition catalog in its entirety.

The artists included Serene Al-Kawas, Seana Reilly, Brian Steele, Jonathan Terranova, and Marcia Vaitsman.It is now time for my thesis exhibition Interiors for an E.H.M. (Economic Hit Man).

In an effort to try and understand my relationship to the "The American Dream" I am seeking to understand how others perceive it. If you have a few minutes, please answer these 3 brief questions. Thank you.February 24, 2010

We will see what new work comes from it.I have also heard back from Susan Krane, the Oshman Executive Director of the San Jose Museum of Art, informing me that my artist book Infiltration of Opulent Militarism has become a welcomed addition to their library.

I was recently contacted by someone to send them some information on purchasing the uncut currency work. He or She used my contact form, but did not include their email address, so I have no way of contacting them. If you happen to be visiting my site again please send me an email at jist(@)jonathanterranova.com (Remove the () before sending. I use them for people who phish the net for emails. I already get enough junk mail as it is.)Also, I've been keeping my blog updated as much as I can. You can click here to view it.

New photos from the Order 81 Re-Engineering Iraqi Agriculture Series are up. The web portion of the project is up as well. The site is www.ImpedireCo.com.Also, I was searching the web to find a forum where I was able to ask a few questions regarding New York since I plan on moving back once I graduate, but I could not find any forums that covered New York in general. I mainly found Brooklyn forums and nothing else. So I decided to make A New York Artist Forum. I hope you will sign up and start some discussions. Also, if you sign up for the forum or the Impedire Co. blog they cross reference each other so signing up for one will sign you up for the other. An email address and a name is all that is required and will not be shared with a third party.
