  • Review: Skinner – The Fragile Art of Existence @ Shooting Gallery SF

    Just over a month ago, the latest solo exhibition from Sacramento based artist Skinner opened at the Shooting Gallery in San Francisco. Entitled “The Fragile Art of Existence”, this new show featured work that was created with a different mindset, one with less pressure, less expectations, and more experimentation. There is a great video that has Skinner talking about this series in lead up to the show (Here). I stopped by the show reception night, took some photos and a video. This video tour idea is working out pretty well, let me know if anyone has any ideas or ways I can make them better. On to the review!

  • Photos: “Draw” @ Shooting Gallery SF

    This past weekend the “Draw” exhibition opened at the Shooting Gallery in SF. The show was curated by Erik Foss and Curse Mackey, and contained no less than 360 works of art. It was intense to see that much work dominating the wall space in the gallery. That coupled with the horde of people that stormed into the gallery right when the show started, it was almost too much to handle. They had a pamphlet that had all the works of art listed so it was just a matter or matching up the numbers. I found out about so many new artists, and saw work from some all time favorites like Glenn Barr, Shawn Barber (Shown), Van Arno, Kevin llewellyn, Jonathan Weiner and even from some unexpected ones like Gibby Haynes, David Byrne, HR Giger and Jonathan Levine.

    I took a bunch of pics from the show, but as you can imagine it was hard to grab all of them. So head on over to the Creep Flickr account to see what I was able to grab.
