Note the Boxes

See those pretty little boxes down there?

Right there.

Three of them.

We'd love it if you loved us back vicariously through them.

Parents. Got to Love Them

So not quite photographic, but amazing nonetheless.

This is a series of short videos by Lernert Engelberts & Sander Plug featuring artists discussing their work and attempting to "explain" their art to their parents. I think we can all sympathize on some level. You can check out a compilation of selections from each of the nine artists that participated here and watch the full episode of Arno Coenen and his father here.

And if you're brave enough (and happen to speak Dutch), you can see all the episodes here.



And let us not forget about Shannon Ebner's book release at the Mandrake this coming Wednesday.

The Shan Shan

I know, I know. It's been way too fucking long since the last post. And I'm sure everyone has been waiting ever so patiently.

But I just can't keep this event to myself. Shannon Ebner, an amazing artist/photographer/professor/human being, recently had her book THE SUN AS ERROR published with the support of LACMA. Her explanation of the book would do much more justice than anything I can say about it, so I'll leave it to her. And on September 2nd there is going to be a book release at the Mandrake which, according to my inside source, is already shaping up to be quite the party. It's going from about 7:00 to 10:00, but wouldn't be surprised if it went well over.

So brace yourself for an evening of schmoozing with Los Angeles' elite artistic community and the most fashionable hipsters alike.
