Since 2012, Allan Amato has been taking photographs of artists, and asking to reinterpret the portraits in their medium of choice. This collaboration is not only unique because it deals with the way in which the photographer sees his subjects, but how the artists themselves interpret and deal with the portrait of themselves. The artists did not compose the photograph, they are just working from it. It’s a great project and one of those exhibitions that must be seen in person. This exhibition marks the final footage to complete a documentary on the project, and Baby Tattoo will release a book mid-exhibition. As quoted in the press release “Rarely are we given an opportunity to confront our perceptions of reality and self; this exhibition will illuminate the universal tension between the pursuit of our vision and the demands of a critical and implacable world.”

“Everything But the Kitschen Sync 14” @ La Luz de Jesus
Coming this March 4th at La Luz de Jesus is the 14 edition of the “Everything But the Kitschen Sync” group show. These group show started back in 18986 and focussed entirely on folk art. The show has now changed names a few times and evolved to encompass more of the best fine art, illustrative, and graphic design out there. New works by Michael Brown, JAW Cooper, Will Crane, Patrick “Star27” Deignan, Delphia, Robert Doucette, Caitlin Hackett, Scott Holloway, Richard Frost, Dennis Larkins, Danni Shinya Luo, Jon MacNair, Apricot Mantle, Junko Mizuno, Munk One, Scott Saw, Kim Scott, Sean Stepanoff, Bonni Read, Cate Rangel, Antonio Roybal, Celene Petrulak, Nathan Ota, Jessica Ward, James Zar, and many more will be on view. It’s an amazing show with a staggering amount of work to be seen. I especially like José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros Disney remix works, and Delphia’s “The Caul” (shown first) is easily one of my favorite works from this show. This exhibition will be up until march 28th, so if your in the area make sure to stop by.

Review: Alternative Press Expo 2010
Ryan De La Hoz and Double Punch Gallery
Once again, October comes and so with it the Alternative Press Expo. Besides the idea of Halloween approaching, the APE is the other event I always look forward to during this season. Rows and rows of tables filled with independent comics, zines, shirts, and most importantly (to me at least) original art and prints. The APE is a great place to score some art and prints, and you might also learn about some new artists. Along with all of the new artists hoping to get their work seen, there are some familiar names such as Josh Ellingson, Alex Pardee, Camilla d’Errico, Mats!?, Karen Hsiao, Danni Shinya Luo, Joy Ang, and many more.

The shows will feature artists that don’t necessarily always create dark art but will do so for this show.
