:: Miss Rockaway Armada ::
In the summer of '06 & '07 a group of artists and musicians traveled down the Mississippi River in a giant homemade raft constructed out of reused materials. Along the way they, The Miss Rockaway Armada, would perform music and put on performances. Maybe you've seen Tod Seelie's photos from the trips here on the site. It was really incredible... Well for three weeks the group reformed to create a massive art installation at Mass MOCA in April and it's up now and worth checking out. If you're not near MA check these photos of the installation. Really great work!

YBCA has organized an art walk around the downtown area. Probably a bit more interesting with the older crowd, but it could be a nice way to spend a Saturday. Wonder about and get a little drunk in the sun and see some art. Stop through 111 Minna ( Vulcan)... Catherine Clark always has intelligent high end shows... Crown Point Press has been a leader in print making since 1962...

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Kottie Paloma and The Daily Strangers last night @ FECAL FACE DOT GALLERY. We drank some nice wine and the guy who stole our tip jar at our last opening had the balls to come through again, but we know who you were, you random street lurker guy... You got none $$$, and I managed to only have one shot of Fernet while Irving and I smoked too many cigarettes... Bozic came through and we spoke of her show that's coming up in the gallery... Yep, Tiffany Bozic is showing in a few months (excited)... Anyway, I'd post some photos, but since I only had the 35mm on me, you'll have to wait until the film gets back. Olden Times!

KOTTIE PALOMA AND THE DAILY STRANGERS <-- Pretty hyped as there was a gap in our calendar and we're able to show one of our favorite San Francisco based artists, Kottie Paloma, with a reception all set to go down this Thursday @ Fecal Face Dot Gallery (6-9pm). The show features over 250 5" x 7" portraits of some of the people Kottie has seen but hasn't meet over the last 2 years- the rough faces of the streets of SF, the subways of NYC, and the clogged freeways of Los Angeles. Come on down as it's bound to be interesting to see it all put together!

Last night I caught some of this documentary on photographer Annie Leibovitz called " Life Through a Lens" produced by PBS's American Masters series. Not sure when it'll be on next or where you can find it (searched all over online) but if you get the chance, watch it. It's a nice look into this SFAI graduate who went on to be there at the start of Rolling Stone Magazine (when it was interesting) and has since gone on to be a high profile celebrity photographer... It was nice to see that, though immensely famous, she's still just a nerd with a camera and a great eye for capturing amazing images... Well worth a watch. 5 stars... Also be sure to check out her retrospective, A Photographer's Life, that's ongoing right now here in San Francisco @ The Legion of Honor.

So we never heard back from anyone @OBEY after we emailed them to confirm about this story, but we did see a pretty official looking image of the cease and desist email header apparently coming from OBEY's Studio Number-One... That's a heavy threat for a couple prints when OBEY obviously " borrowed" work himself... In any case, it sucks when stuff gets legal in the art world, but when $$ is attached I guess it can go down. Let's hope all parties work it out... What's your take?
