Sounds like a good Shel Silverstein poem, but it’s a group show put on by Mather:Kunst (Andenken Gallery affiliation) at Streetlab in Amsterdam.

This Group Exhibition features work from 6 contemporary American artists:  Evan Hecox, Rich Jacobs, Kenyon Bajus,
Buff Monster, Amanda Marie and Exploding Dog.  Artwork from the exhibit will be available for purchase.

The aim is to show how vastly different the perspective of each artist is, whilst visually marking a strange thread that
binds them all in the important web of contemporary culture.

In a nut shell, each of these artist’s personal story is a stone in a wide stream of amazing progressive visual art.

After you’re done buying up all my original pieces and prints at the show, stop by Wolf & Pack and buy all my tees and prints there… BEEEYAAAATCH!!!

The gals at Parlor Gallery (Asbury Park, NJ) are putting on a screen print art show opening the 4th of July. Don’t worry, this won’t conflict with you watching the Coney Island hot dog eating contest. C’mon, admit it. You watch it. I do.

Anyone going to be at the Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt, Germany? (Jan 24-25, 2009) There will be the first installment of the group show Where On Earth Have You Been? In Hyland Mather’s own words (owner/founder of Andenken Gallery in Denver and Mather:Kunst in the Netherlands)

Basically, the show combines work from the personal collection of Malia and I, Artwork on loan from the Andenken Stacks, and lots of work that artists have sent to us over the last several months. There are a lot of personal pieces in this show for me. A piece Evan Hecox made for my birthday. A ’spin the bottle’ photograph Vin Comparetto made. A piece Faile sent at Christmas a few years ago. A long list of memories for the Mather’s. I can’t wait to see it all in one place.

This is the first installation of what we hope to make a growing traveling collection. A Dutch organization called, The Urban Arts Foundation is working with Mather:Kunst now to help make this a reality in Holland.  www.urbanartsfoundation.nl

Already, there are 200 ish pieces from about 85 artists. The roster and a program fact sheet are available on the project site: www.whereonearthproject.com

I will have some prints up in the LA vs WAR show. April 10-13, 2008 – Downtown LA

LA vs WAR highlights the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year, giving LA artists a platform to exercise their freedom of speech. Hundreds of artists representing our diverse communities unite in delivering a universal message of peace and understanding, and offering resistance and opposition to the US government’s war policies.

La vs WAR

The SugarHeads are hosting a unique exhibit of artists, brands and friends at the shop this Thursday, 7-10pm, to celebrate 3 years in the Lower East Side.

The event will bring together SHQ’s friends and contemporaries, from the brands they stock to some of their favorite artists. The show participants were each presented with a one of a kind framed work of art; an oil painted canvas each depicting a Bob Ross style landscape. These canvases are to be considered blank, as each artist will put their distinct mark on the pieces. The only direction provided to the show’s participants; take every liberty with your canvas to make it your own. There are no boundaries. The show will be displayed at the store beginning October 25th throughout the holiday season.

Check out canvases and have some cocktails and empanadas next door at Label Lounge. The after-party will be at 205 with music provided by The Bangers, DJ Roctakon, and Unemployed Lloyd.
