I am 8 Bit show coverage

April 20, 2007

Vinyl Pulse has pictures and a video covering the opening of the “I am 8 Bit” show. Looks like it was something not to be missed, of course I did. But by the looks of one of those pics, the line was pretty hefty.

A.P.E. 2007

The grand opening of the SF Gallery 1988 will kick off tmw, with an art show celebrating A.P.E artists:
Gallery 1988 SF

There will also be two receptions. One at Giant Robot and 111 Minna Gallery.
Giant Robot will feature work from husband/wife duo APAK (Ayumi and Aaron Piland): Giant Robot SF
111 Minna will have a group show called “Suite Jesus”, with work from six artists and live music: 111Minna

Looks like a great day to see some art, the weather might include a lil rain, but looks to still be nice.

Tara Mcpherson “Decoder Ring” print

April 19, 2007


Tara McPherson’s Decoder Ring print “The Idealization of Asymmetrical Thought”, sold out in minutes I think. There are only 100 of these prints made. Its a beautiful 18 layer silkscreen print and would look quite nice next to one of her “Isis” prints (or on my wall for example).

Here’s Tara going through the lengthy process of making this print over at Juxtapoz: Silkscreen Process Pics

And here’s a link to an ebay auction for the print. The last print went pretty high, likely this one will as well:

Ben Templesmith, the artist that has done work such as 30 Days of Night, Fell, and most recently the very cool “Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse”.

Ben has an original page for sale up on ebay right now. So not only can you get the original page, but also a “signed 8 x 12 inch artist proof giclee print of final page on 310 gm satin photo rag”.
Sounds like a great deal to me.
