Spontaneous Gorillas

G.A.S.S.Y
Gorilla Art Shows Specially for You

Random Acts of Art
Out and About #1

The idea behind getting G.A.S.S.Y is a practice in inconspicuous spontaneity.
A reevaluation of conventional spaces, and an incentive to create informal artworks with the intention to share.

point of blue review #2


everything i don't know
Bromfield Gallery, 450 Harrison Avenue
Charlie Goss

apparently doesn't know many things.
but mon cheri ignorance is bliss


In a show where the pre-requisite is not knowing, one would not expect to be so perfectly content.
As my eyes traveled about the clever assemblages constructed from bits of tongue, soap and wire I swear I could hear them snickering. Each piece was realized from tender preparation and a hilarious attitude towards creation. The result; humble and concise.

Despite the First Friday crowds that flock to SoWa for the free wine and culcha I noticed a palpable sense of ease in the gallery, I think it had to do with the presence of humor, and lack of pompous gallery nonsense.
The message quite simple, it is what it is,
Victory can simply be a congregation of a light bulb, sausage, electric cord and plaster.

Like Charles, I may not know much, but I do know that if the entire show is about not knowing we can all stop pretending .

INhabit
OUTsource

Maria Molteni
solo exhibition at gallery 263

Truly the cat's (gold lamé) pajamas

With flawless grace the lovely Miss Molteni combines
geometry and folk
vectors and decoration
NEON.STYROFOAM.FUR and PAZAZ
oh my!


a keen eye to detail and a quizzical sense of humor is revealed upon close inspection, with discrete aptitude she grants seemingly banal materials a moment of glamour.

bear fruits


welcome!
I've arrived
bearing strange fruits
for you to
taste
and
enjoy.
I have an agenda for this here blog
it will serve as a virtual trampoline.

I will chuck an array of elements
seenthings ...heardthings ...redthings...feltthings...madethings...tastythings...allsortsofthings

my hope is
that as I chuck
this virtual trampoline will repel them in to nebulous ether and straight in to your pocket.

I hope that you enjoy
