Preview: Kukula – “Immortal Artifacts” @ Corey Helford

Posted by sleepboy, December 14, 2009

Our friends over at the Corey Helford Gallery sent over some preview pics for Kukula’s upcoming show opening this weekend. From the looks of things, cultural artifacts from music and the arts was chosen as one of the themes of this new body of work (painted over the course of 10 months). Kukula says – “the paintings in this exhibition try to hint at the obscure process by which culture flows in and out of individuals. In several paintings I use music to represent this […]

Posted by sleepboy, December 14, 2009

Wintertime groups shows are common this time of year, so it’s not surprising we have another one to share with you. “Winter Warmers” opened last week at in London at the StolenSpace Gallery, and as you can see from the image above, D*Face (interviewed) was in a festive mood. The show also marked the release of VNA Issue 10 with a special screenprinted cover by D.

Openings: Audrey Kawasaki – “Hajimari – a prelude” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, December 14, 2009

When hype is built up, rarely does the show ever meet the expectations. Once in a blue moon does one actually surpass the expectations – which is exactly what this show did. Audrey Kawasaki opened up her much anticipated body of work “Hajimari – a prelude” (previewed) at Jonathan LeVine Gallery last weekend in New York City. The sold-out show drew a max capacity crowd that overflowed from the packed gallery space into the adjacent hallways. There were three lines going the whole night – one to get […]

Teaser: The LOST Underground Art Project @ Gallery 1988 (LA)

Posted by sleepboy, December 12, 2009

Some of us at the AM office are pretty hardcore LOST fans or Losties for those who are hip to the vernacular. That’s why we are looking forward to “The LOST Underground Art Project” opening this Wednesday, December 15th, at Gallery 1988 in LA. Some of you may be aware of the LOST prints that have been released periodically through DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear over the last several months. Well, for the first time, all 16 prints (released and sold out) will be seen in one room. More […]

Openings: Herbert Baglione – “The Dark Wave” @ FIFTY24SF

Posted by Ken, December 12, 2009

Brazilian artist Herbert Baglione opened his latest solo show, “The Dark Wave” last night at San Francisco’s FIFTY24SF gallery. Though the artist was unable to attend, due to passport restrictions, Baglione certainly came correct with an overwhelming selection of original sketches (close to 300!) and nine medium to large sized paintings. The sketches, which are cash-and-carry till Christmas, have been taken out of Herbert’s personal sketchbooks and provide an insightful look at the processes and growth of this important Brazilian artist. More pictures after the […]

Preview: James Marshall – “And There Was War in Heaven” @ Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Posted by juggernut3, December 11, 2009

Opening tomorrow night at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is James Marshall’s (interviewed) latest show entitled “And There Was War in Heaven.” With this new body of work, the artist formerly known as Dalek continues down the path of near-total geometric abstraction, with few or no references remaining to his early space monkey character. In addition, Marshall has created several paintings with a more simplified style and a very recession-friendly pricing, which will no doubt interest old and new Dalek collectors alike. See the rest of the […]

If you’re like us at AM, you can’t wait until Josh Keyes’ (interviewed) show at Jonathan Levine Gallery (previewed). But to keep his eager fans happy in the meantime, David B. Smith Gallery will be releasing a hardback book next Tuesday cataloging his recent “Sprout” show (covered) and related pieces. We got an in depth look at this book at the DBS’ SCOPE booth and we must say that this book is not only gorgeous, but also features several multi-page layouts of some of Keyes’ best works to […]
