Thursday, 02 February 2012 /// Written by Trippe

Ever Gold in SF opens a month long residency with Josh Short's Bomb Shelter Radio and Tenderloin Self- Defense Club tonight, Thurs (6-10pm). Check the video for a complete picture of what to expect.

Over the course of his residency at Ever Gold Gallery, Josh Short will build "Bomb Shelter Radio" and host several live sonic events that will include experimental noise transmissions, live metal and hardcore bands, and subversive FM radio interventions. This will also be aided by guerrilla public installations of radios installed around the Tenderloin bringing his interventions directly to the street as a form of audio graffiti. During the day the gallery will become the "Tenderloin Self-Defense Club", where Short will offer martial arts instruction to the neighborhood inhabitants, artists, and musicians. ~show details

CCA graduate Jessie Rose Vala who moves back and forth from Portland & Brooklyn opened up Future Teller Nov 3rd at San Francisco's Ever Gold Gallery. We didn't make the opening, but Ever Gold emailed over some photos of the works and opening. Thanks for digital posting, guys.

Vala is known for her site specific installations that emphasize her diverse skill with multiple media backgrounds. Future Teller is an elaborate three dimensional mythology that serves as the artist's personal investigation into Man's fall from ‘Paradise', as depicted in a utopian existence.

Ever Gold emailed over a taste of tonight's show w/ Toronto-based artist Lucas Soi whose show, We Bought The Seagram Building, explores the architecture of capitalism and the economic effects of globalization through dotted ink on paper works. Andrew of Ever Gold, who sent us these images, says that the work translates much different in person than through these photos of the work.

A celebration of our anxieties pertaining to the body, identity, and nature: "In the Kingdom of Charisma" is a multi-media exhibit created during a three weeklong residency at Ever Gold Gallery. Through installation, video and images created by growing crystals, organisms and media collages, Chris Ritson represents the nuances of how we construct an individual identity distinct from the vast cosmology that animates our lives.

Mark McCloud @Ever Gold
Friday, 26 November 2010 /// Written by Trippe

Ever Gold Gallery here in SF is about to open a new show this December 2nd w/ Mark Mulroney which we'll be telling you about next week. In the meantime, we think it's about time we add the photos from their previous show with LSD blotter acid artist and collector Mark McCloud. Here are some photos of the opening which went down a few weeks back.

Photos: Kid Yellow

"Mark McCloud was the head of an LSD conspiracy that gained a new generation to the cause of LSD," assistant U.S. attorney Mike Oliver said. "It is a cause that creates in people the capacity to make life-threatening and life-stealing decisions."

The artist continues to document the LSD hit or dose of blotter in minute detail as he comments on the state of the arts and politics in relation to psychedelics.

TOSHIO SAEKI SOLO @111 MINNA

In a wacky mixture of classical Japanese woodblock style and contemporary Hello Kitty kitsch, Japanese illustrator Toshio Saeki challenges just about every taboo you can think of, and a few you probably never even considered. Some might call Saeki's potpourri of extreme sexuality warped, but this skilled and inventive artist has the kind of following in Japan that comic-book genius R. Crumb inspired in this country during the seventies.

MARK MCClOUD @EVER GOLD

Mark McCloud has a huge collection of blotter art... Yes, sheets of acid will be on display at Ever Gold adjorned with Jesus on a cross, Beavis and Butthead, Felix the cat, and many others. This Argentinian-born 44 year old ex-professor of art, is an old SF fixture of sorts having done drugs with notorious SF drug addled rock stars and thinkers.

Could the FBI be close on his heals? Actually, says McCloud, there is little if any legal risk in possessing these papers. Exposure to sunlight and heat has destroyed the illegal drug in every one of the blotters that he displays, reducing the LSD to an inert and legal compound. -read on.

They're hosting a closing show this Sunday, August 1st with bands playing: Melted toys, Psychic handbook, Speculator, and GDB (6-8:30pm). Below are some photos of the show...

End of performance by Charles Linder

Performance:
At the end of the opening of Charles Linder’s solo show at Ever Gold Gallery “Good Cop / Bad Cop” Charles asked us into the back room to watch as he commenced to saw and cut the bottom jaws off of 3 wild boar heads that he had in his freezer for a few months after hunting them in northern California. They were defrosting in the back room / project space of our gallery during the opening.

It took him about 30 minutes to do all 3 heads . We had all been there drinking since the reception started at 3 at it was about 9:30 at this point.

It was a very intense performance and a messy one.

Charles eats the whole pig when he hunts them and uses the teeth to make jewelry.

All the taxidermies in the front room are found Taxidermies and Charles does not support taxidermies of animals.
