While I was out Saturday night to check out the Paul Chatem show, I stopped around the corner to see the latest work at the Space Gallery/Lopo Gallery. The gallery is now under new ownership and there is even more area to hang art upstairs. I mainly stopped by to see what work was being shown just to pass the time, but I am glad I stopped by since Peter Adamyan had a solo show open that night entitled “American Gris-Gris”, from what I read Gris-Gris is a voodo amulet that either brings good luck or acts as a birth control. Peter had his work shown alongside Helen Bayly but there was visibly far more work by Peter and I noticed that his work garnered more attention. I took photos of the show, and also talked to Peter a bit, not enough though so we have an interview planned for the next week.
There was a large amount of work to be seen, and a good variety of sizes as well. Not only did Peter have the standard “Center-piece” work, that you see him standing next to, but there was also some smaller framed paper works, and smaller wood ones.

“Bad Dads”, Wes Anderson prints from Spoke Editions
On October 30th the “Bad Dads”, Wes Anderson tribute show opened at the new Lopo Gallery in San Francisco. This new gallery is located via the Space Gallery on Polk Street. Curated by Ken Harman (Hi Fructose, Arrested Motion) this group show features work from over 70 artists such as Dave MacDowell, Caia Koopman, Ana Bagayan, Serge Gay Jr, Rich Pellegrino, Sandi Calistro and many more. The work is not online yet, but the show is up until November 27th so you still have time to see it in person. The Warholian has some photos of the Reception over at Flickr, and a video on Vimeo. Spoke Editions has also made a good amount of the work from the show into affordable limited edition prints. Many of the prints will be released during the next two weeks, but if you head over there now you can see what prints are available, and what will be soon.
