Openings: “A Cry for Help” @ Thinkspace

Posted by marcus, January 22, 2010

A couple weeks ago, Thinkspace hosted “A Cry For Help,” a show that donated part of the proceeds to support Born Free USA & the Animal Protection Institute. Featuring a long list of great artists like Josie Morway (seen above), the show was partially curated by our friend Amanda aka Commandax from Erratic Phenomena. We must say after seeing the show in person that there were many unusually strong works from most of the artists that are not always seen in group shows, so definitely check […]

With carnival games and creepy clowns, Shine’s latest experience successfully brought back the fun and wonder of art to both parents and children alike, […]

Maybe not as many openings as the last couple weekends, but there are two major shows opening after this coming weekend that will be turning many heads in their perspective locales – the multi-faceted return of the Grammy show and the Os Gemeos show in Italy.
