Ok,
I concede! I don’t really have the time or resources to commit to this blog to do the local arts justice. The fact of the matter is that there is so much good stuff that is going on in Southern California that it would take a big net to collect it all up; not that [...]
Neo-Benshi Night
Poets & Musicians Perform Live Film Narration
Thursday April 30th
8 p.m.
Seven performers revive the art of benshi – the live narration of silent films – by muting the sound of scenes from feature films and telling their own interpretation. Be prepared for a night of hilarity, experimentation and critique featuring films ranging from John Cassavetes’ [...]
A very worthwhile exhibit is currently running at the Hammer museum. Highly recommend it. Here is a detail swiped from the horses mouth because quite frankly I have been too busy to make a worthwhile contribution to the site and today is no exception. I want to watch Synecdoche, New York and fall into a [...]
In life there are many choices. Do I curl up into the fetal position in the face of the difficult one’s? Let’s not get into that… But on the flip side there are those moments when all that is required to repel the darkness is to merely flip on the light switch. So it is [...]
I know what your thinking… but rather than engage in a discussion about the credibility of the graffiti artist, why not just dive in at least waist deep as Culver City’s Honor Fraser Gallery brings vandalism to the next level. Saturday night visit their group show “I Can’t Feel My Face”. Then on Sunday at [...]

I went on a retreat with some friends when I was younger… a couple girls, a few guys just spending some time together for a little celebration of life. We had rented a cabin with a spectacular view of a lake. We consumed beer (some more than others), things became sloppy, some paired up and [...]
The Sharpie - utilitarian writing implement or indelible tool destined for museum walls? This is a question that is sure to crawl into the back of the mind after a walk through of the upcoming exhipit (mispelling intentional) at Crewest. There is a long list of participants and there will be live printing by Two [...]
Part of why I started doing this website was to connect with interesting events that take place in pet stores. Lo and behold there is one going on. I haven’t been to the Pussy and Pooch Pawhouse and Petbar but that will be old news after the opening of Pukac Safari … and since it coincides with [...]
Group Show opens Feb 7
These days its tough to break away from all the drama, unless you happen to be a bee, in which case you can visit the Hive and receive a discount at the door, buzz around the creative process and its products, gather some pollen and go make some honey. If you [...]
