City Reconsidered @ The HB Art Center

Tonight I ran down to the HB Art Center to catch the new show City Reconsidered. Kudos to curator Darlene DeAngelo for pulling together a great show, especially for a long time resident of HB like myself. Couple of stand outs were Mary Dessert's timeline project and the work by the mysterious artist collective LAC.

City Reconsidered at HBAC

Tomorrow night on Friday the 13th the Huntington Beach Art Center will open City Reconsidered where several artists were invited to reconsider certain aspects of Huntington Beach including transportation, public and private spaces, and economic resource distribution. Some of the artists participating are Robin Repp, Mary Dessert, Anna Friesen and Trang Le. The opening will run from 7-9pm.

Must Be The Fumes @ Chuckwa in Fullerton

For all you graff fans this Saturday night from 7pm to 11pm Must Be The Fumes curated by Bekka "P0PNZ" Utermohlen opens at the new Toy Store/Art Gallery Chuckwa in Fullerton. As always I think it's important to get out there and support the new efforts in OC so I hope to get out there with camera in hand. Details follow:

Timely..

"The arts are not a way to make a living. they are a very human way of making life more bearable. practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake." - Kurt Vonnegut

Art in America/Banks Violette

Art in America has a new site up and it's pretty damn good. I'm a fan of their artist interview video section. Something I hope to do more of on this site. Here's a clip of Banks Violette:

OCMA Auction

OCMA's annual auction is coming up on March 28th but you can start bidding on the work now. Head over to their auction site and take a look. It would seem that they decided to offer fewer works that have larger price tags. I hope that works out for them. If you would like to attend the event tickets can be yours for $200 (member price).
