:: 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!

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.

We got this new Dave Kinsey board from the new Designarium headed by Natas and backed by NHS in the mail yesterday. Looks good/ limited numbers/ and available at skate shops nationwide... Designarium's mission: "sponsoring artists instead of skaters to explore and expand the culture and ideas that have made skateboarding as popular as it is today." Will be interesting to see what they come up with... We'll be giving this board away as a prize for next week's Free Fridayz. The theme is Rip Off Your Favorite Artist. Be sure to get your drawing in by Friday 12pm. Email it to: freefridayz (at) fecalface.com.
