“The Salon at Sundown”

Payton Cosell Turner and Brian Kaspr

Wallpaper, Embroidery, Drawings and Photography

Opening Reception Thursday November 12, 2009, 6 to 9 pm

Leffot -- 10 Christopher Street -- New York, N.Y. 10014

“The Salon at Sundown,” a multi-media exhibition, features new works by artists Payton Cosell Turner and Brian Kaspr. Turner’s major work reinvents the ancient design known as damask into a dazzling, detailed wallpaper of over 60,000 hand applied, individual stickers. No two sections of wallpaper are alike. Kaspr’s meticulous and intricate embroideries with tongue-in-cheek themes, reinterprets this venerable medium of embellishment into works wholly new and modern. While both artists share a love for textiles, design, and vintage motifs, they also work in other media. Turner’s new drawings also form part of the exhibit, as do Kaspr’s latest works in color photography. The ambitious melding of artistic forms in “The Salon at Sundown” gives the audience a unique opportunity to explore the multiple visions of the artists, an engaging mix of the enduring and the contemporary.

On view through December 31st.

Reception to include hors d'oeuvres from Alex Raij & Eder Montero

Also “Background Music to an Opening” composed by Henri Honne Wells & Juan Comas

Worst Halloween Costumes Ever

CNN) -- Police say guilt was written all over their faces.

Police received a call Friday night that two men with hooded sweatshirts and painted faces had tried to break into a man's home in Carroll, Iowa.

When police stopped a vehicle matching the caller's description blocks away, they were stunned by the men's disguises.

There were no ski masks or stockings pulled over their heads; instead, Matthew Allan McNelly, 23, and Joey Lee Miller, 20, streaked their faces with permanent black marker.

Carroll Police Chief Cayler told CNN the strange disguises made it easier for his officers.

"We're very skilled investigators and the black faces gave them right away," Cayler said jokingly. "I have to assume the officers were kind of laughing at the time. I've never heard of coloring your face with a permanent marker."

Cayler said police believe one of the alleged burglars targeted the home because he suspected his girlfriend had a relationship with the man who lived there.
