Preview: Juxtapoz 15th Anniversary Art Auction

Posted by sleepboy, September 12, 2009

Fifteen years is a long time. For a magazine & brand that pioneered coverage of art that nobody else wanted to cover, Juxtapoz has come a long way. Humble websites like ours probably would not be around if not for their efforts to expose our generation to artists who otherwise would not have gotten any publicity. So imagine what a treasure trove of works they will be able to come up with for a 15th Anniversary Auction. We are salivating just thinking about it. The […]

For his first solo with the gallery, Evanâ€™s focus will be of […]

AM sat down for a chat with the man himself. […]

Setup/Preview: The London Police – “Brothers in Arms” @ Carmichael Gallery

Posted by sleepboy, September 9, 2009

As you have seen in the video trailer we posted recently, The TLP (The London Police) show “Brothers in Arms” opening this Thursday looks to be an entertaining show. AM had the opportunity to stop by Carmichael Gallery last week to take a gander at what the dynamic duo were up to. We walked away impressed by their amazing linework (so perfect, it’s been mistaken for silkscreening) and more appreciative of the richer environments and growth of their work ever since Bob Gibson rejoined Chaz […]
