The Future Is Now

dalek

If you’re in Nyc this weekend you should definitely check out what promises to be a dope ass art/music pop-up show curated by No Agenda, Ad Hoc Art, and McCaig-Welles at The Highline Loft, 508 W. 26th Street. Some of my favs will be showing such as Dalek, Maya Hayuk, Cycle, John Breiner, Cern, Mike Giant, Indie 184, Dave Kinsey, Greg Lamarche (aka Sp One), Swoon, Thundercut, Morning Breath, and a grip more of talented mofo’s. There’ll also be a performance by “revolutionary sound/music/noise group,” Gray.

You can check out some more of the artwork at McCaig-Welles tumblr.

Tim Doyle “UnReal Estate II” Art Opening Tonight

worst-ever

Spoke Art unleashes another beast today with Tim Doyle‘s follow up from last year, “Unreal Estate II.” As they put it he will “once again remap our collective consciousness through a whole new series of re-imagined iconic pop-culture locations.” In simple terms, he recreates iconic places of interest from the canon of some of the best fictional tv shows, from Twin Peaks to The Simpsons.

The irony here is double edged seeing as art in itself is inherently a fictionalized form of reality. In this sense “UnReal Estate” is a fictionalized account of fictional places. Double down on that when you throw in Arrested Development, the Bluth home wasn’t a real home either, it was just a model. Bam!

Forget all the babble though cuz it wouldn’t mean anything if the art looked like crap anyway. But it doesn’t. It’s pretty awesome. The opening is tonight at Spoke Art in San Francisco AND the first 100 people there get a special, not-for-sale print. Daaaaaamn.

Missed Out: READ MORE’s Show @ Ditch Projects

For obvious reasons I try to keep up with my favorite artists, for unobvious reasons I completely missed out on hearing about Reader’s newest gallery show (granted it was in Springfield, OR (?)). Luckily, better late than never, I came across a post about it at Vandalog. Reader, Read More, OYE, Rancour, Boans, Books etc. etc. is killing it, inside and out.

You can also check out photos of the whole show at Ditch Projects.

Rafael Cerveglieri Tweet

Rafael Cerveglieri is 25 and used to wear funny t-shirts. He was born and still lives in São Paulo, the biggest city in Brazil. For some years now, he’s been working with stuff he loves: making comics and editorial illustration. He’s one of those boring guys who loves to talk about books, movies, comics and songs, and would love to talk about these things anywhere with anyone. Also, he lacks a haircut. If you’d like to waste some time talking to him or perhaps you have some work you’d like him to do, feel free to contact him by e-mail: rafael [dot] cerveglieri [at] gmail [dot] com.

He would be proud of it, and you can even eat some sandwich with him, but please don’t put tomato slices on it.
