ALIFE's project Art Machine at The Hole opened last night with over 50 artists involved and a huge massive artist vending machine as it's main eye-grabber. On till the 22nd, you can pick up goodies for as little as $5 ... items include: “special personal artist memorabilia (“artist’s panties”) to customized products (“artist bicycle”), to actual artworks (mini painting and mini sculpture!), to limited edition products (T-shirts of G-Shock watches).”

The Hole is run by Kathy Grayson and Meghan Coleman, both former directors at the Deitch Projects and all-round superwomen. ALIFE is downtown New York's lifestyle concept/cultural movement. With such strong people behind it, Art Machine is unmissable. Run down and grab what you can.
