May 3 – 4, 2014 at Picture Farm Gallery, Brooklyn.
Hosted by Brooklyn friends Imaginary Surf Co and SMASH Productions, It Doesn’t NOT Work featured “surreal to sublime shapes by East Coast subterranean board builders.” A call for submissions proposed that “Function is purely subjective when fun is the ultimate goal. Display your failed concepts and accidental discoveries. It Doesn’t NOT Work seeks to lift up the hood on surfboard experimentation and design. Boards that are proven to work!! Boards that are proven to NOT work!!”
Full event program on the SMASH Surf site, along interviews and profiles of the following shapers:
JD San Jose, TJ Nicolich, Glenn De Castro, Neil Berenholz
