Look at 'em—red dots! So, big surprise...painting's still a winner even in this economy. It's nice to picture yourself somewhere else and a purdy lil' painting can help. I bet those wandering path paintings leading into a bright light with a hanging noose are big sellers these days. What, wasn't that what Mr. Ross painted? You can look at that painting as your color-palette-matching couch gets repossessed. What fun life is these days!

Melinda Ring/Jennifer Nelson: for the birds @ The Box


Melinda Ring/Jennifer Nelson
for the birds
PR: The Box is pleased to present the first collaborative work of choreographer Melinda Ring and artist Jennifer Nelson.

SUPERSONIC @ The Los Angeles Art Show (The "other" fair)


Here we go. What should I start with - the roll-paper covered walls? Wow, all of these kids actually possess an MFA? Not that they all were blunders but how can you honestly look at serious MFA works on wrinkly walls, jam-packed "mom" curating and all within the context of what is the Los Angeles Art Fair. Oh, yeah that and the current economic depression and lack of anyone at the show made for tears to run down my face - good thing they served free mini bags of potato chips and tequila.
