Back homethanks to crza & nkanne (natanya) for taking photos at the Wolfgang Bauer reception at Found Gallery.
thanks to everyone for coming out. spread the word. mad decent proppage to the FOUND FRIENDSHIP CREW.
here are some of my favorites.
In what is, by no means, the first time anyone has done something like this, I want to start posting images of my favorite bits of paper every week. I feel like I am particularly good at attracting bullshit, so hopefully you’ll enjoy.
This first one was easy. Come on, Bruce M. Margonlin. This was lodged, as shown, in the fence outside the gallery. Judging by my calculations is placed there somewhere between 4-20 & this morning. Haha.
Join our friends Tony & Chris Tarantino (Djs Ts & Tarantino, respectively, together they form ‘the Buttons’) this Thursday night for “HALL OF FAME” at the Broadway for some swanky bullshit, full of sexy patterned interiors and posh surfaces. I had my birthday there two weeks ago…click here to see photos (it’s a biweekly thing). No cover. No excuses.
i took pictures of the burbank fire on top of the parking structure at work. you can see the rest of the photos from the set here.
Found Gallery proudly presents ‘Displaced,’ a collection of recent works by several artists from the greater Gulf Coast area. Featuring several musical treats from New Orleans local musical treasures. Art by Jonny C, Joint Custody Artist Kim Culotta, Jonny’s uncle Keith Eccles, Mississippian Ginger Williams, Moxy Studios owner Joan Cox, Kenny McAshan, Dena Richardson, Rochelle Alfaro, Daniela Marx, and Adam Farrington.
5-8pm at Found Gallery in Silverlake.
Jonny Coleman, a native New Orleanian, recruited the help of some old and new friends in order to share the perspective of a region that, for many, has its denizens feeling abandoned, lost, or forgotten. Coleman’s uncle Keith Eccles (an inner city New Orleans high school two time teacher of the year and artist who designed a giant thank you mural to Congress after appropriating billions of dollars to reconstruction in the area) will be displaying a huge new 7 x 12 foot painting. Joint Custody Artist Kim Culotta spent a few months using her uncle’s unlivable house as a painting studio. Culotta’s colleague Ginger Williams, a Missisppi resident, presents a barrage of small mixed media portraits, several based on the Saffir-Simpson scale (see above).
Coleman met artist/gallerist Joan Cox about (whose Joan of Arc piece is above) a year ago. She opened Moxy Studios in Uptown New Orleans about a month prior to the hurricane. After battling to return to New Orleans, she reopened and stayed open until only weeks ago. She had to relocate to the D.C. area. Cox was kind to share her artists for this exhibition. Painter Kenny McAshan (image below) has delivered a dozen small framed works on cardboard in two series, titled ‘Debris’ and ‘Houston.’
Rochelle Alfaro, Dena Richardson, Daniela Marx, and Adam Farrington (another Uptown gallerist/artist) are artists that have shown work along with Coleman at another store-turned-gallery near Moxy Studios called Mystic Blue. Their work is very sculptural, with Richardson and Alfaro creating trash collages and Marx and Farrington working in metal.
You must come view how the works as a whole cohere into a colorful, stylized, and intimate importing of a very specific time and place that most have only read about or seen on television. Please come see what these people have produced, going beyond an objective elegy or simple documentation of destruction, and into a real first hand account of people, places, events, and emotions.
As an extension of Mr. Producto’s Mustache Theory (by the way, the album is awesome), Chris and I have decided that at the rate we’re going, we’re still two clicks away from moving out of this grimey lifestyle.
Basically, we have found that the amount of filth, disorganization, and neglect is directly inproportional to our idleness.
Or, rather, our cleanliness is indirectly proportional to our progress.
Scratch that - our godliness decreases whilst our number of projects/jokes increases.
We are the League of Extraordinary Busy-Body Cunts.
In addition to being the name of a city in 14 of the contiguous states, the name ‘Norman’ also applies to a film that Chris Cruse and the NoPerformance Cavaliers shot this weekend. Here is the link to photos from days 1 & 3. We will add info & photos of screenings, events, wrap party as soon as they come.
From the director: “I’ll die when you sleep.”
