Art Barter – Berlin 2010
The .HBC Space at Alexanderplatz in Berlin has just finished hosting the first Berlin Art Barter art show, where you can literally barter for art, exchanging anything except money. Seems like an intriguing concept, so I went to check it out, fully prepared to haggle my way into art ownership by grossly exaggerating my palm-reading [...]
Professor Bad Trip Tribute – Berlin
Kreuzberg is pretty trippy as it, but until June 30, you can catch the trippiest show ever down on Skalitzerstr. at X-Lab Corrosive Art Farm. The all-screenprint exhibition featuring the works of the late psycho-genius artist Professor Bad Trip (aka Gianluca Lerici) is an exercise in eye-vibrating information overload. Professor Bad Trip’s name says it [...]

Hori Smoku is Sailor Jerry: A Film Screening
Would you let that guy tattoo you? All unsanitary with his tobacco pipe, pronounced lack of sanitary gloves, and insistent use of a rotary phone?
Yes, you would in a heartbeat. He’s Norman K. Collins, king of tattoo art, and man behind the infamous Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum art. Ed Hardy is remedial compared to this [...]

Textile arts are not nearly as well represented as they should be, [...]

An Inevitable Unveiling: Masque Films
I first caught Sandra Powers films at The Night of Sinister Amusement at the Unknown Theater in December. Horrifyingly beautiful, her exquisitely-shot films provoke a squeamishness that you just can’t look away from, and that you can’t help but want to see more. From the creators of decadent and dark short films, music videos and [...]

January Downtown LA Art Walk: The Mixed Bag
…Just like every other Downtown LA Art Walk. But the art walk last week was the first I’d actually “art-walked” as a spectator. First off, even though LA is a driving town, there was a distinct lack of wine present. I’m comparing, naturally, to the artwalks of Chelsea and the Meatpacking Districts of Manhattan, where [...]
Nevermore, My Love-Children…Nevermore.
“It started out simple enough: a couple glasses of wine, several shots of bourbon, and pondering what would happen if Dr. Seuss, Richard Scarry, and a stable of My Little Ponies each downed a bucket of liquid acid and proceeded to engage in an orgy that spawned a hundred love-children.”
The Lot 44 Gallery invites you [...]
It’s Chinese New Year Time!

Symbiotic Form For the Holidays!
There’s a new chunk of stores opening up in Downtown LA on Main & 7th, at 111 W 7th St. All the ground floors are barely bigger than a large walk-in closet, some are packed to the gills with stuff, others are more sparsely designed, giving a delicate, couture feel to their stores.
Symbiotic Form is [...]

Arias With A Twist: Drag Diva Takes Redcat
“Arias with a Twist” is a whacked-out show that demands your attention by employing quick wit fused with extremely imaginative staging. This is all held together by the soaring song stylings of this demented (and very talented) singer.
