Coming up this weekend: Aryz (who did the artwork for Aesop Rock’s Skelethon) has been creating new work for a show at FIFTY24SF Gallery. The opening reception is this Friday and it runs through May 31st…can’t wait to check it out!
Today is the last day of our 12 Days of Christmas Contest (and as a friend pointed out, it’s the last time we’ll see a sequential date in our lifetime). Today’s package is from Upper Playground & Sam Flores. It’s been 5 years since Sam has done a SF show, so today’s package features 5 framed prints. Each frame has also been signed.
Where Hearts Get Left is Fish’s first gallery show with Upper Playground in 5 years, featuring 60 new works inspired by and created as a visual love letter to the city of San Francisco. The exhibition will open on July 14, 2012 with a special afterparty at Milk Bar in Haight Ashbury, featuring a set by hip-hop artist, Edison. The exhibition runs through September 14, 2012.
For Where Hearts Get Left, Fish has prepared six paintings, four statues, fifty drawings, six screen prints, and an installation specifically created for FIFTY24SF Gallery. As well as the original artwork presented in Where Hearts Get Left, Fish has created 6 screen prints for the show, each in edition of 100 only available through FIFTY24SF Gallery. There will also be a limited edition, hand bound book featuring 50 black and white drawings, printed in an edition of 100 in a wood and leather cover, printed by Edition One Books in Berkeley, California. (UP press release)
