The dynasty continued for 3 centuries as one of the most prosperous and most respected institutions in Europe. PURE LUCK holds the same philanthropic policy as the House of Medici and advocates artistic expression as a means of innovation, unity and community. Moreover, as a means of creating historical while advancing society. PURE LUCK’s support is broad and covers an array of disciplines from traditional artistic mediums and culinary ideas, alternative energy sciences, to Earth cohesion systems and the hybridization that is art, architecture, technology and design today.

PURE LUCK’s inspiration began as a nickname for a woman who is overflowing with the joy of life, love and learning. Attracting countless admirers and acts of generosity this woman was a classicist and trained in the classical Arts. She is the embodiment of ‘pure luck’ and sits atop our crest.

Projects will vary greatly from traditional to non-traditional applications in fine art, installation, performance, architecture, design and technology. We aim to curate visionaries and tomorrows leaders today. We distribute PURE LUCK in the form of pointed, positive, substantial projects and exhibitions that pay inspiration, innovation and prosperity forward for future generations.

Our mission is to fund artwork with exceptional historical value and present it on a scale and in a format that is bold and outstandingly conceptualized. Future projects will consist of small scale artworks with a solid message coupled with large scale longer term projects. These larger, more pointed works will combine architecture, green technology and city planning elements tied into a conceptual package that are nascent homes, buildings, cities, suburban developments and communities.

Our members take part in a cause that aims at a better quality of life for everyone. PURE LUCK curates innovation through art application at a societal level.

Should you choose to support PURE LUCK you will be at the forefront of new ideas in societal infrastructures, the generation of new artistic methods and literally seeding grassroots change at a communal level. 

Support PURE LUCK today by making a charitable contribution to one of our projects. Thank you.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody"&gt;Demarcating territories and the desire to posses physical arena while asserting dominion over what is, or has been, through force or coercion seems unchangeably hardwired to animal actions on every level. From neighbors bickering over a bush that needs to be trimmed to someone’s dog encroaching on another’s lands. To global wars over invisible lines and political uprisings rejecting authoritarian rule. One theme is consistent, the desire to posses, assert influence upon, or control physical dominion and that capitol material which lies within it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="messageBody"&gt;The second exhibition in the PURE LUCK Charity Series brings together two artists that survey spacial awareness and literally landscape the territory provided to them in the form of their material area. John Plunkett, veteran painter, takes a more traditional approach using paper, pencil, charcoal, paint, pastels and color. While newcomer Twyla Feinbloom manipulates leather and wood in a manner that resonates more with the current state of human interaction with nature. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Landscaping territories poses questions about animal instinct and how it forces us to act as we do. Coinciding with Armed Forces Day, this fundraiser for Veteran’s of Foreign Wars (VFW) poses the question, will humans continue to follow animal instinct or as a self aware conscious beings become one to their own rather than a servant to unconscious survival instincts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

By improving air quality, reducing water run off, creating energy, neutralizing our carbon imprint and growing food naturally in a sustainable low impact manner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PURE LUCK wants to build New York City’s first alternative energy rooftop CSA greenhouse in Brooklyn. Our first location has been approved and sits just 7 blocks away  from the Brooklyn Museum!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is a community rooftop alternative energy greenhouse? Basically, it is a greenhouse (approximately 5000sq ft) on a roof that acts as a farm share feeding around 250 people. Strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, lettuces, flowers, etc grown year round in a closed environment powered by alternative energy. There are no petroleum based fertilizers and no trucking the produce from out of town, or any gasoline or oil usage at all. The system uses as little as 1/20th the water as conventional farming and much of that will be collected from rain water. Independent, self sustaining, closed system, growing and harvesting organic produce, this is the future of urban farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;THE OPPORTUNITY&lt;br/&gt;By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth’s population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use (sources: FAO and NASA). Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. Combine these facts with a fragile eco-system, increasingly extreme weather pattens, politics and rising oil prices and it forces us to rethink the future of food and energy production. PURE LUCK see’s an opportunity to change the fundamental infrastructures of society while improving the quality of life at the same time. We will streamline infrastructures and create new economies within larger population densities. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;“Urban agriculture is a growth industry,” says Dickson Despommier, a Columbia University microbiology professor and author of &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.verticalfarm.com"&gt;The Vertical Farm&lt;/a&gt;. His book touts a vision for commercial-scale agriculture in high-tech greenhouses as high as 30 stories tall, with the footprint of an entire city block.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, it takes a landmass almost as big as Ohio to feed the population of NYC. On average over $1 billion of produce is trucked into NYC each year. Vertically integrated carbon neutral urban farming is the future of food production.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can help this to happen simply by making a charitable contribution to this project and becoming a member of PURE LUCK.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PURE LUCK&lt;br/&gt;presents&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pure White&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;by Beau Rhee&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;THE ARTWORK&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Pure   White is an installation scripted within a conceptual ballet and was   conceived by Beau Rhee over the course of three years time. This   large-scale piece combines thirty minutes of choreography, snow   machines, polyurethane snow, a cigarette and a ballet barre with a   classically trained dancer in a dress of silk and feathers. The artwork   cycles and re-cycles through its own time and material. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;With   potentially political undertones, this thoughtfully scripted piece   questions the boundaries of purity and excess within the human cycle.   The balletic movements explore the tension between classical beauty and   the mechanistic all the while subtly reflecting on the current status   quo. Finally, the installation re-enforces these main ideas with its   rhythmic sounds and actual mechanism, which demands constant refilling   upon depletion of petrolium snow product. The snow falls into a   sculptural polyurethane pile that remains a constantly shifting   geography of the dancers’ movement. The installation creates a living   mechanical environment within itself. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;THE PERFORMANCE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;White   snow gently floats to the ground over a wooden ballet barre. The   peaceful sound of it falling combines with echoes of the dancer’s   sweeping feet reverberated from a past performance. At regular   intervals, a dancer emerges, smoking her cigarette and stretching in the   steady snowfall. This ballerina is costumed, powdered, masked and   feathered white. She unfurls her body, rehearses, repeats and develops   her movements. The viewer shares with her the process of entropy and   expenditure. They feel the exhaustion with what is past and are ready to   move on to what is new. The performance ends, only to resume again in   persistence.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;em&gt;BEAU RHEE&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The artist believes that true   beauty has the power for criticality and to stimulate transformation.   This is achieved in part through the emotional state pure beauty evokes   when experienced. A theatrical inspiration injection into the stream  of  consciousness, this piece is certainly in part a reaction to the   catastrophes of our society. Feeding the machine with more of the same   is no longer acceptable. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Beau Rhee received her B.A. Dance &amp;   B.A. Art History from Columbia University (cum laude). She has shown   artwork and performed at The New Museum, X-Initiative, Exit Art,   P.S.1/MoMA. Most recently Beau had been interviewed by Art International   Radio (AIR), a new internet radio station &amp; cultural archive   directed by the founder of P.S.1. There she has been invited to rehearse   and create new works. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Her previous formal dance training   includes: Bill T Jones Dance Company, New York City Ballet, Boston   Ballet, and A-Soon Dance Company in Seoul Korea.&lt;/p&gt;

The dynasty continued for 3 centuries as one of the most  prosperous and most respected institutions in Europe. PURE LUCK holds  the same philanthropic policy as the House of Medici and advocates artistic  expression as a means of innovation, unity and community. Moreover, as a means of creating historical while advancing society. PURE LUCK’s  support is broad and covers an array of disciplines from traditional  artistic mediums and culinary ideas, alternative energy sciences, to  Earth cohesion systems and the hybridization that is art, architecture,  technology and design today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PURE LUCK’s inspiration began as a nickname for a woman who is  overflowing with the joy of life, love and learning. Attracting  countless admirers and acts of generosity this woman was a classicist  and trained in the classical Arts. She is the embodiment of ‘pure luck’  and sits atop our crest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Projects will vary greatly from traditional to non-traditional applications in fine art, installation, performance, architecture, design and technology. We aim to curate visionaries and tomorrows leaders today. We distribute PURE LUCK in the form of pointed, positive, substantial  projects and exhibitions that pay inspiration, innovation and prosperity  forward for future generations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our mission is to fund artwork with exceptional historical value and present it on a scale and in a format that is bold and outstandingly conceptualized. Future projects will consist of small scale artworks with a solid message coupled with large scale longer term projects. These larger, more pointed works will combine architecture, green technology and city planning elements tied into a conceptual package that are nascent homes, buildings, cities, suburban developments and communities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our members take part in a cause that aims at a better quality of life for everyone. PURE LUCK curates innovation through art application at a societal level.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should you choose to support PURE LUCK you will be at the forefront of  new ideas in societal infrastructures, the generation of new artistic  methods and literally seeding grassroots change at a communal level.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PURE LUCK&lt;br/&gt;Contemporary Art&lt;br/&gt;2 Great Jones Street&lt;br/&gt;NY, NY 10009&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As the Art season winds down with the Summer, PURE LUCK brings a motto to carry with you during your travels. GRITTY, PRETTY, READY, STEADY is a collection of recent works by Beau Rhee. This special exhibition will be on view for a short period of time at PURE LUCK in our new location at 2 Great Jones Street.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ms. Rhee’s motto consistently runs through her artworks. Her performance pieces are powerfully beautiful, art historically informed and technically equipped masterpieces. Her concept of the New Baroque, which is a development of the idea of “the fold” (Deleuze), purity and the infinite/excess, runs mysteriously through her most recent performance works. Ms. Rhee conveys gestures through repetition and accumulation, thus creating a static art object that modulates through time. &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;While ideas of rhythm, beauty and mystery hide in gritty textures on paper and behind curtains, there runs a deeper meaning to all this. Cultural staticity has amassed into a charge, building and building. Eventually the charge archs or pops and releases all of its potential energy.  Beau Rhee’s works are just that. A positive charge that eliminates the excess and fires your neurons into a new mindset. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;BEAU RHEE&lt;br/&gt;The artist believes that true beauty has the power for criticality and to stimulate transformation. This is achieved in part through the emotional state pure beauty evokes when experienced. A theatrical inspiration injection into the stream of consciousness, this piece is certainly in part a reaction to the perceived catastrophes of our society. Feeding the machine with more of the same is no longer acceptable. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Beau Rhee lives and works in New York City. Drawing from her passion for performance, dance and visual art she creates a unique oeuvre that explores human movement, gesture, the intangible and the surreal. She received her B.A. Dance &amp; B.A. Art History from Columbia University (cum laude). In 2008 she had the honor of training with the Bill T Jones Dance Company by invitation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Her previous formal training includes: New York City Ballet, Boston Ballet, and A-Soon Dance Company in Seoul Korea. She has shown artwork and performed at The New Museum, X-Initiative, Exit Art, P.S.1/MoMA. Most recently Beau had been interviewed by Art International Radio (AIR), a new internet radio station &amp; cultural archive directed by the founder of P.S.1. There she has been invited to rehearse and create new works.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blood/Sweat/Tears, 2011 &lt;br/&gt; Eau de Parfum androgyne &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;notes de tête - thé, bergamot&lt;br/&gt; notes de coeur - tabac, épice, figue&lt;br/&gt; notes de base - bois, santal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;100ml eau de parfum &lt;br/&gt; blue medicinal bottle &lt;br/&gt; 100% bronze cap&lt;br/&gt; wood &amp; satin case, hand-sewn livret&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Blood/Sweat/Tears &lt;/em&gt;is a startlingly unique scent, which was  created &amp; produced in Grasse, France. The fragrance is a rich  textural mixture of notes that emerges deep from our daily lives in our  subconscious, such as notes like tea, tabacco, and sandalwood, and  surprising brighter hints of spice and jasmine. Lying mysteriously  in-between the feminine &amp; masculine, the fragrance harnesses both  energies, resulting in an exquisite &amp; captivating formula.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;eau de parfum fabriqué en Grasse, France &lt;br/&gt; all art production in NYC&lt;/p&gt;
