  • It’s July 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic. Psychotropics and politics meet when host Sophia Kayafas visits Fred Tomaselli to talk about art and his ever-changing Williamsburg neighborhood.
    The new ALL ARTS short documentary film series "Flowstate /North Brooklyn Artists" explores what it means to be an artist in the northern Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick during summer 2020. Series hosts Ralf Jean-Pierre and Sophia Kayafas visit 16 artists in their homes and studios, looking at their gritty, inner worlds, and engaging in sincere conversations with a range of emerging, mid-career and established artists from diverse backgrounds.

    Three and a half years later…
    I’m so grateful that you froze this moment in time. This piece is golden. So many emotions and tears…even still. We’re still lost. 💔
    Hope? Not so sure, just grateful to still witness it all. Yeah, hopeful.

    I'm a professional artist and designer (in TX, from Chicago - heart belongs to NYC). I know I survived and thrived in 2020, it's surviving 2021 that's depleting me. I would give just about anything to be in NY, even during the pandemic. NY feeds my spirit more than any place I've been/lived so far. To all the artists out there struggling to hold on to your sanity and creativity - KEEP HOLDING ON!!! The world needs us - artists!

      Yes! The world NEEDS artists. Especially now in 2021 while the pandemic is still hanging on. What part of Texas are you in? I'm in Ennis, south of Dallas.

    What a sensitive and insightful interview. Fred and I were close before he left California for New York He had a loft he built on top of his bedroom, it was cramped and dark but he used to paint me by moonlight after we'd return from seeing a bunch of punk bands at the Vex. It brings me joy to see him in his bright garden among his botanical comrades

      That's such a sweet memory. Glad you were able to find this video -- and hope you kept some of those paintings!

    He reminds me of a bad-boy artist I knew in CO who enjoyed his plants too. Miss him...

    finally an artist who owns up to his responsibility of being the seeds of gentrification
