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 [...]
Create:Fixate: Vitalizes Your Eyes
“We awaken this spring Vitalized, by the knowledge that all possess the power to evolve and reinvent ourselves and the world around us. In a time when so much revolves around conflict or passivity, by tuning in, showing up, and making LIFE happen, we move everything forward. How will you Vitalize [...]
Masque Films: The Inevitable Unveiling Unveils
Masque Films’ Inevitable Unveiling on Saturday night did a great job of setting the aesthetic tone of Masque Films. Taking place in the ASTO Museum in a begotten part of Lincoln Heights, the unveiling immediately enveloped the audience into the Masque world – a dark, delicate, and hauntingly beautiful place filled with furtive, sidelong glances, [...]
Yes, Dear. There Is An Art of Bleeding.
Ahh, the Art of Bleeding. What a crazy, chaotic vaguely hospital-themed, vaguely mad scientist-themed hot mess of a show. They’ve incorporated nearly everything under the sun into their show, most notably Abram the Safety Ape – always looking out for your safety! But now, the Art of Bleeding show goes without that insolent robot, silly [...]
Bacchanal Festivus Every Friday
It’s what Baccanalia is all about – a swirling festival of art, live music, live painting, art installations, with cheese and wine flowing all around. The Daydream Republic has started off 2010 with a bang, moving into a bigger space at 4500 West Jefferson – remember the tiny gallery space they had in 2009 on [...]
Area 33 NYE was…Cozy!
In my estimation, Area 33 was the place to be for NYE in LA. At any point in the night. This new venue in Culver City seems like it could very well be the replacement Space Island, or at least that’s what I hoped. Space Island was such a cool venue, with 3 separate DJ [...]
The Evening of Sinister Amusement
The Evening of Sinister Amusement at Hollywood’s Unknown Theatre was a little sinister, a little amusing, and all in all some great entertainment. After a long, long, (maybe I got there too early?) long time to get started, in which I was subject to way too much Ramones, the night finally opened with films by [...]
Susan Arena’s “Everyday Plagues”
Indie Collective Gallery is presenting “Everyday Plagues,” an exhibition of new works on paper and objects by artist Susan Arena. Arena’s latest work reveals the underlying anxiety present in everyday life and relationships. Influenced by an obsession with folk art, Arena uses non “monumental” materials such as handmade paper, bits of cast-off clothing, wallpaper and [...]

Spilt Society Brings in the New Art
Spilt Society’s first multimedia art show last night was easily one of the most conceptually fulfilling shows I’ve seen in a long, long time. The idea behind the show was to track the creative process from the point of conception to the finished work. Causecast donated the space – an interesting multi-room affair built to [...]

Garden of Earthly (Visual) Delights
Ah, the Garden of Earthly Delights on Saturday night. Located in a previously unknown gallery, Daydream Republic, in a previously and currently forgotten part of town (West Adams for a night on the town? Anyone?…..Hello?), The Garden of Earthly Delights sprung up from literally nowhere to display some of the coolest art I’ve seen in [...]
Create:Fixate Gets their Eyes Stuck
Create:Fixate’s Build party was this past weekend, and they have, once again, managed to find the best of the best in young and emerging artists from wide and far in Los Angeles. I’d never been to a Create:Fixate party, but I’d sure as heck heard of them, something like they were these ubercool undergroundish all [...]
