Tonight at Black Maria Gallery. 7 -10:30pm.

I’m an Animal is a group show of all female artists curated by painter Aaron Smith (first Artist in Residence at the Getty Museum).

I was looking through old photos and I found these snaps of my friend Dale Dreiling. Dale does amazing mixed media art. This series of portraits of Bill Murray (as various characters) was amazing! Visit Dale’s website here.

Another piece from Your Bright Future. A traditional Korean scholar’s house crashes into a US apartment. Fallen Star 1/5 by Do Ho Suh. This piece is massive and amazingly detailed.

Welcome and HappyHappy by Choi Jeong-Hwa out the LACMA. Part of Your Bright Future: 12 Contemporary Artists From Korea. I would definitely recommend checking out this show. It will be at the LACMA until September 20th. You can walk through the strings of plastic containers. It’s fun.

Jan at Poppytalk posted some pictures of these beautiful ceramic clocks by Maria Kristofersson. I would love one of these for my new apartment (alas, not for sale). Jeff & I are moving to Atwater Village this weekend. More details to come.

Please check out Poppytalk to learn more about Maria and see more pictures of her creations:

Today I came across pictures from Lee Gainer’s Two Month Salary exhibit. The show acts on the saying that an engagement ring should cost the equivalent of the man’s salary for two months. Gainer did the math for various professions and collaged them together. Gainer’s artist statement says his art “explores culturally accepted and media supported perceptions” and I think this certainly qualifies. Perhaps I just liked it because of all the sparkely rings. I wouldn’t buy the book but perhaps this will morph into a refrence guide for engaged women everywhere. ;)

This is also another example of insanely simple web design.
