We are so thrilled and excited to collaborate with The New York Arab Festival and co-present "The Alchemist's Recipes - Homage to Ahmed Yacoubi" on Saturday May 31 at Atelier Jolie.

Artist Ahmed Yacoubi (1928 - 1985) knew how to play with humor and surrealism: "Soup to cure jealousy", "If you are 64, this dish will make you younger", "How to be gentle to your brain" are some of the recipe titles of his famous cookbook published in 1972.

All day long, from 11am to 6pm, poetry, performance, and art from contemporary Arab artists, living and working in New York today will infuse all over 57 Great Jones street. There will be a cooking class, readings by actors and poets including Omar Berrada, Amr Kotb and Andrew Riad, screenings of video and film from across the Arab region, as well as fashion and design throughout the day.

From 12 to 2.30pm, Eat Offbeat's Moroccan Chef Rkia will offer her famous Tagine (Chicken or Vegetarian)

Join us for a special day of celebration at Atelier Jolie

When artist 2Fik is in town, we can expect a lot of turbulences on Bergen street. And we love that!
Two Fik" (that's the way to pronounce it) is back for a 4th solo exhibition at The Invisible Dog which open on Saturday February 8.
2Fik questions his relationship with his characters, 100 of them that he developed since the beginning of his career. After 20 years of practice as the photographer, the model and the creator of all his works, these questions awakened a deep sense of grief.
2Fik’s relationship with his characters has been shattered ever since that infamous day of June, 6th, 2021. How does he get back up from the deep-cutting realization that characters he knew for a very long time are not who he thinks they were? Maybe he took them for granted. Maybe he did not see the red flags. Maybe he was in denial since their inception two decades ago. This new installation churns doubts about loyalty, creativity and vulnerability.
When a relationship changes, we need to decide what we keep from this experience and what we leave behind. Can 2Fik still be who he is after he gave all his blood, tears and sweat to his characters to finally get bamboozled by them? The bond between them is now distorted forever.
2Fik’s needs to redefine that relationship to let it thrive again, but differently...

"Reconstruction– in art or nation states– will inevitably contain the DNA of the past and present. The future has always been built with materials at hand. But simply building a better mousetrap isn’t good enough anymore. Innovation isn’t good enough anymore. We need to really rip s**t apart. I’m not talking about rampant destruction– I’m neither that punk rock nor that January 6th. I’m talking about intentional radicalism: the realization that because we authored all these power structures, their resultant turmoil is on our byline as well" says artist Mac Premo

For a whole month as visiting at Atelier Jolie, Premo has constructed a series of new work by using his body of older work as the raw material.

By precisely cutting, haphazardly tearing, or outright smashing dozens of pieces spanning the last quarter-century, Premo built a reserve of material with which he created “new” collage, assemble and sculptural work.

Collage as collage material.

On Friday January 31, we are thrilled to present hundreds of new art works at 57 Great Jones street from 11am to 8pm (reception from 6 to 8pm). Come celebrate Premo. You are invited!

All day long, Cafe will serve plates, beverage, pastries and many other wonders prepared by their chefs!
