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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

Her long awaited book, The DbD Experience: Chance Knows What It’s Doing!, just came out last month through Routledge. Samuel French is Los Angeles’ largest theater and film bookstore.
Details!

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 [...]
Santa Con 2009 is HERE!!!

SantaCon 2009 is here people! Dec. 12, 2009 is your one and only chance to rally around town with a bunch of other people dressed up like Santa, or their own interpretation thereof. Did I mention that it’s a massive bar crawl? So, make that hundreds of DRUNK Santas gallivanting around LA all day long. [...]
Luminosity by Sean Sobczak
See what downtown LA is talking about: A one-of -a kind Sculpture Show – LUMINOSITY – featuring the illuminated works of Sean Sobczak!
It was born at Burning Man – and evolved into a spectacular art form! This show features new sophisticated and delicate works, and also the amazing fantastical creatures that have made this artist [...]
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 [...]

Infinity will feature the work of approximately 30 local [...]
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 [...]
Spilt Society, One Night Only!

Spilt is essentially a live art event in which the artists choose how they present the process and product of their work. A crushingly simple, direct, and unique concept, Split asks the artists, “Do your thing.” Nothing more, nothing less, no molding their works into the confines of a prescribed exhibition format. The artists, expressing [...]
R. Crumb Terrifies You With The Bible

In the late ’60s, R. Crumb’s psychedelic comics—including the characters Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, Devil Girl and the popular Keep on Truckin’ cartoon— propelled him overnight to celebrity status in San Francisco’s burgeoning underground scene. His charming “bigfoot” style fused with overt sexual images were very well received in the free-love capital—but also led [...]
