Film Por Vida
|
Saturday, 29 September 2012 09:25
Written by Isaac Randozzi |
The San Francisco showing of the well traveled Film por Vida show was packed. Photo nuts and skate rats poured into the new Book and Job gallery on Geary street to view the hundreds of post cards and framed photos. Contributed by members of the Print Exchange Program that Jai started over six years ago, the walls on the ground floor were blanketed by carefully strung 4x6 postcard prints.
Since its inception, the program of mutual exchange of original images has grown to include many international participants and followers of the web site, http://filmporvida.blogspot.com/. At this showing, the exhibitions 4th, participants were featured on one wall and specific heavy contributors had their own sections. A framed section featured many Bay Area and previously featured photographers like Joe Brook, Bryce Knights, Sam Millianta, Takeshi Abe, Dave Schubert, Dennis McGrath, David Franklin, Dan Boulton and skater-photo-nuts like Ben Gore and Ryan McWhirter. From a photographers prospective is was amazing amount of eye candy; medium format to half-frame formats, machine prints to hand printed masterpieces just about every type of process was on display. The subject matter went from boobs to boards, sunny skies to frightful nights and dipshits on drugs.
If you are a fan of photography even in the slightest, go visit the show it's up for the rest of the month and into early October. Many thanks to Jai Tanju, Cameron Balliet and Shawn Whisenant for putting the show together and making it such a great time. Apologies for not writing down the names of the photographers whose photos are featured, it was a long and fun night with a few beers.

Last week we checked out Mike Shine's current show running @111 Minna through Oct 13th here in San Francisco. Nordic, Teutonic philosophy, Kubrick, PT Barnum, Absinthe, and other influences taint his paintings. The Carny Bastards. Spanning centuries and geographies, the ragtag collection of souls are a mix of gods and mortals, beauty and beasts. The work will be a follow up to Shine's show at the SF Outside Lands in August, offering an in-depth look at the world of Dr. Flotsam.

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 13:57
Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold's photos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey's photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can't ask him to find out.
Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes "Ripped off!", so we guess that's your answer.
Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Homemade Tattoos (+How To)
Friday, 14 June 2013 10:00
Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Tuesday, 04 June 2013 14:00
Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.

The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service.

| Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF
Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.

I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing.
