One more thing… Fun Razor at LACE Saturday night

I forgot to mention that Fun Razor for LA Freewaves that’s going on at LACE this Saturday night.  I got the chance to work with Freewaves director Anne Bray during FR8 last year, she was our special guest video curator, and if they let me do FR8 or anything like it again, I’ve got [...]

More Beginning of the Season Show Pimping

Again, I’m not sure I want to make this a regular thing, but since it’s the beginning of the season, and there’s so much great stuff going down, here it is.

Thursday, September 13

Impressions, The Printed Image @ the El Camino Art Gallery. This show is a winner, featuring both South Bay [...]

Impressions, The Printed Image at El Camino College Art Gallery

I’m taking classes at El Camino this semester, cleaning up my much abused academic record, and preparing to finally go about getting my BA in something…  So spending time in and taking photos of the ECC art gallery shows is awfully convenient.

Impressions, The Printed Image is apparently a really popular show on campus.  [...]

Lisa Solomon Argyle Tank Installation

I’m engaged in an interesting conversation with artist Timothy Buckwalter in the comments of one of my Flickr images, and I cruised by his site, only to discover a post about what looks like an awesome Lisa Solomon argyle felt tank installation as part of her Currently West show in Kuomi, Japan.  Lisa [...]

Basil Wolverton / Mark Mothersbaugh at Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana & Orange County Never Changes

Basil Wolverton Homage in a Basilic Vein

I grew up as a devotee of Mad Magazine, and thusly, a Wolverton fan.  I’d go a lot further than Santa Ana to see a show of his works, especially a private collection show.  In addition to the works below, there was a wide selection of works [...]

Tomato Porn – Yellow Edition

The heat wave was cruel to my tomato plants, as well as to my corn.  I have high hopes that warm weather will continue, and that my garden will experience a second coming of sorts.  My heirlooms seem to have stopped producing, and are trying to become some sort of a fruitless bush, [...]

Yong Sin at the Torrance Art Museum

I neglected to mention one of my favourite institutions in my “weekend openings” post, and I’d like to rectify the situation.  The Torrance Art Museum had a trio of really great shows opening last night, photos of all to come.  These images are of Yong Sin’s show, Rule Out, in the “hallway gallery” – [...]

The Great Picture

Outside of the obvious “world’s biggest” aspects, it’s hard to describe what makes The Legacy Photo Project’s Great Picture so compelling.  Like many other things who’s impact is governed by scale, The Great Picture really needs to be experienced directly.  It’s on view at Art Center in the Wind Tunnel until September 29th.  There’s [...]

Start of the Gallery Season

This week marks the start of the season for galleries in Los Angeles.  There are innumerable shows opening this and next week.  I don’t normally want to use this space as an “exhibition listing” but I wanted to pimp some really great projects that some of my various friends and associates have going on [...]

Tomato Porn

The festival of summer tomatoes continues.  Can anyone name the exact point when it became common/acceptable to refer to exceptional examples (or even regular, everyday examples) of things we like as “porn”?  Does this mean that pornography has become so acceptable that we’re now categorizing everything in terms of it?  Or does it [...]
