Friends With You:

PK SHOP is pleased to announce the release of the Psychic Stones, a series of unique multiples by L.A.-based artist collaborative FriendsWithYou, on October 24, 2013, from 6-8pm at 511 West 27 Street. Drawing on global spiritual practices and the belief in the animism of natural physical entities, FriendsWithYou artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III conjure each resin Psychic Stone with a customized spell, imbuing the sculptures with powers of healing and self-empowerment. The result is a sculpture that is both an object of aesthetic contemplation and a power-amulet, tailor-made for each collector through an experiential process. The new edition of Psychic Stones debuting at PK SHOP includes theEverything, Evil Expel, Future, Golden Spell, Happiness and Nature spells; each accompanied by a unique magical ritual designed by the artists, along with instructions for their use and care.
