Said to have traveled through a vast number of galaxies before arriving at our current terrestrial grounds, the STEAKMOB* based out of Minneapolis, MN has created and curated a show that’s sure to bring the young blood, in everyone, out to play. Working exclusively from their notorious studio, Da Haunted Attic, the STEAKMOB* have created a body of work that encompass the nostalgia of being born in the 80s and living in the 90s. Though thematically similar, the body of work spans across many different kinds of form-making and exemplifies the over-processed-analog-loop element that has become a staple of the STEAKMOB* and it’s affiliates.

Involved in the show is the STEAKMOB* who is, at its core, Andrés Guzmán, Eric Gorvin, and Tomás Villaseñor. However, the over-arching collaborative nature of STEAKMOB* obviously necessitates the help from the homies. In this show the lineup boasts a select mash of illustrators and designers including Llew Mejia, Tuesday Bassen, Bill Rebholz, Anton Pearson, and Feng Meng Vue.

“SUPERNATURAL? PERHAPS.”
New works by Heather Gabel and Christopher Norris (Steak Mtn)
Runs July 9th – August 10th 2011
Reception 6-10 pm July 9th at POVevolving Gallery
939 Chung King Road, Los Angeles, CA 90012

POVevolving Gallery and Print Studio will host artists Heather Gabel and Christopher Norris (aka Steak Mtn) July 9th for a month long exhibit of their latest works. Heather and Chris have much in common, most notably a background heavy with design work for many bands. Both also share an obsession for the face melting powers of the darkest kinds of imagery while maintaining their unique and vaguely ironic interpretations. The title of the show itself is the perfect anomaly for these two visual artists, pulled from a Bela Lugosi/Boris Karloff classic; it personifies their attraction to the kitsch of the occult. The results of their insatiable appetites for a viscerally brutalizing aesthetic can be seen at POVevolving this July/August when they have their way with the space. The larger front room will showcase their fine art work; drawings and collages culled from their wildest dreams and worst nightmares, while the smaller and fittingly cave-like back room will serve as a living breathing archive of their cumulative efforts in design. Showcasing sketches, photocopies, original album artwork and shirt designs for such bands as Against Me!, Alkaline Trio, Rancid, Joan Jett, Garbage and Green Day assembled together for the first time.

ART DEBAUCHERY ORGANIZATION presents

// ALT to the ALT //

an xxx-themed art event

SHOW CAVE 3501 Eagle Rock Blvd Los Angeles 90065

OPENING: Saturday, April 9th, 2011 7pm

“ALT to the ALT” is an XXX-themed art event showcasing some of the well-respected movers and pornographers within the alt porn industry through their photography and art. “ALT” is “Alternative”. True to the saying, there is an Alternative to everything. The “alt” in adult cinema is an aesthetic difference that showcase the work of these pornographers as artists, rather than playing to the general public’s stereotype of the adult industry. By pushing the boundaries of the artform, these artists bring forth the true ALT to the Alt.

MEL KADEL
ARMS OUT

At The Merry Karnowsky Gallery

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 8 – 11pm

MERRY KARNOWSKY GALLERY
170 S. LA BREA AVENUE
(IN THE ART 170 BUILDING)
LOS ANGELES, CA 90036
323.933.4408

http://www.mkgallery.com

Exhibition Dates:
February 5 – March 5, 2011

Gallery Hours:
Tues – Sat 12-6pm

Merry Karnowsky Gallery is proud to present Arms Out, a solo exhibition by Mel Kadel. Using coffee-stained paper, micron .005 pens, hand mixed ink wash, pencil, and blades, the artist creates carefully detailed and layered drawings of childlike characters exploring, opening up, and overcoming peril with fierce determination. Thick layers of hand cut paper are carefully collaged within each scene, making Kadel’s work delicate and dimensional, patterned and precise, with foregrounds, middle grounds, and backgrounds reminiscent of 1950’s engravings.

With a technique some have called “drawing with an eyelash,” Kadel has created a visual narrative that communicates interconnectedness, balance, and the idea that we are all part of a system whether recognized or not. Inertia is an important part of what propels the work, and whether standing idle, entwined, or reaching up, or outward – what Aristotle said is true – the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts. In Kadel’s world characters embark on wondrous adventures, face absurd obstacles, and complete daunting tasks within their lush, imaginative world. Undaunted by gravity, they push, pull, climb, and reach to arrive at their veiled destination.

Using her unusual layering technique, the artist creates wallpaper-like patterns with texture and depth in a seamless fashion that suspends her characters somewhere between imagination and reality. Drawn to patterns and repetition, Kadel sets her characters in surreal landscapes where girls’ tears form rivers, and horses are patched together like quilts. Intricate motifs, such as a sun made of flowers, or coils of rope-like bodies, create an allegorical glow, which is disarmingly warm. Also exhibited are more abstracted patterns with flora filled landscapes, independent of figures, yet interdependent with the elements.

Musician Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat says of Kadel’s work, “Mel goes so hard on her work it’s a wonder she hasn’t fallen in. Actually, I think if you look close enough you’ll see a piece of her in every picture. No joke.”

Kadel is originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and graduated from Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia. After living in New York for a few years, she moved to Los Angeles where she now resides in a log cabin by the 5 Freeway with her partner, artist Travis Millard. Kadel’s work has shown in numerous galleries throughout the United States and abroad in London, Sydney, and Denmark. Her work has appeared in publications including Juxtapoz, Monster Children, and LA Times Magazine.

Finally! Gingko Press has released Dan Monick’s first book of photographs documenting his years and travels with Atmosphere and Rhymesayers.

To celebrate the fine folks at Rhymesayers and Fifth Element have put together a collection of prints from the book and will be showing them at Fifth Element  on December 16th 7-10 PM.

For those of you in Minneapolis and or who know folks in Minneapolis, please try to make it down. It should be a really nice night.

OPENING FRIDAY!

First Love, Last Rights

**Skye Parrott solo exhibition
@ Capricious Space
November 19, 2010 – January 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, November 19, 7-9pm

Capricious Space is located at 103 Broadway, Brooklyn, New York 11211 tel: 718-384-1208
Hours: Wednesday to Saturday, noon to 6 pm. For additional information about Capricious, please visit http://www.becapricious.com

Having grown up with a photographer mother, Parrott’s life had been thoroughly documented until her adolescence, and then again by herself starting at seventeen. But the turbulent period in between was a void in terms of visual record. Following the demise of two key relationships, one with her first love, a boy named Alex, and then of their mutual relationship with drugs, they both went off to rehab and soon after she began taking photographs. From that brief era, she was left only with some vivid memories of particular moments. First Love, Last Rites turns around about a year and a half of her life, beginning when she was fifteen. For this work Parrott asked friend (and sometimes collaborator) Valentine Fillol-Cordier to play her, and with her old clothes and the other people who figured into these memories, she set out to recreate her recollections from these previously undocumented years.

Central to this body of work is Parrott’s interest in the subjectivity of memory. “People choose a few things to remember and those memories become representative of entire relationships or events. In doing this work, I was keenly aware that what I remembered might not be ‘real.’ Curious to explore what had actually happened, after making the photographs I interviewed Alex to find out what he remembered. There was a lot of overlap, but there were huge discrepancies too. There were incidents I thought of as key but that he had forgotten entirely but remembered when I mentioned them and vice versa. And there were places where our stories just completely diverged. I think it points to the way that memories form us, and as we form, we reshape them to fit.” This is sometimes reflected in the exhibition: a detail that she mentions in her text is intentionally different in the corresponding photograph. A scene that takes place at night is shot during the day, or a gesture is reconfigured. In this way, Parrott explores the notion that memory, and even experience, is not “true.” Rather it is something in between truth and fantasy because it goes through the filter of who we are.

In a booklet accompanying the exhibition, we are given a glimpse of the physical records that do exist from this time in Parrott’s life. Along with images from the show, she presents personal artifacts including letters, photographs, and items found inside old pockets, a personal text, and the transcript of an interview with Alex.

Friday, October 1st

HELLO by Candystore Collective
2226 Bush Street, SF CA 94115

Of Woe & Magic is the beauty of being alone in the desert and under the moon. I want to watch the dying suns and witness the new ones being born. Everything to and from dust. I miss you already. Turquoise jewelry, geodesic domes, telepathy & a feather in your hair. I want to run naked in the sunshine with you. It’s about all the love I have for everything. There may be a crystal or two involved, sorry, I tried to keep it scientific. Let’s all make something by hand. I sewed, printed, and painted this. It is only the beginning. Everything is infinite. It will last forever & it will also end on November 1, 2010.

Christopher Bettig is a French / American artist currently based in Los Angeles. His artwork takes form in various mediums ranging from crafty to painterly or illustrative, all the way to large scale sculptural installations. Often using a soft palette, his fine art can be described as decorative upon first glance until subtle layers reveal the underlying complexities in his paintings and hand-sewn paper collages. A consistent theme of recycling and reusing common objects, often deemed as waste or garbage, which would normally be destined for a landfill has become a personal trademark for him and a sort of ode to environmental stewardship.
