:: IN-N-OUT @FFDG ::
A lot of people have been asking if we're doing Daily Dose this year where we put a call out to local artists and go buck wild for a month during the summer- art shows galore. Well, sure why the freak not?! Starting in June for 5 weeks Fecal Face Dot Gallery will be hosting week long art shows, exclusive to Bay Area artists, and we're putting the call out now.
The shows open Wednesday with a reception Thursday (6-8pm) and run till Saturday. Things tend to slow during the summer, but we wanna speed things up and have some fun again. If you're interested in showing, we wanna hear from you. All submissions will be presented to a panel of 6 anonymous Bay Area artists and 1 anonymous cat to fill the 5 allotted slots. Email jpg samples of your work, a brief description of your show proposal, info on yourself to innout(at)fecalface.com - Should be good times and we're excited to hear what you have in mind. FFDG will have new hours starting next week: Wed - Fri (3-6pm) | Sat (12-6pm)

:: Faile ::
Spinning Faile Piece in Williamsburg <-- The international (and Brooklyn-based) artist collective Faile piece has put up a new piece on North 6th Street in Williamsburg. The carved wooden post has a spinning top, and chances are someone will try to steal it before long—after all, similar pieces were going for $100,000 at a show last year in London ( check show photos)... Old news from last week, but wonder how long it stayed up. Not long we bet. Our studio visit w/ Faile - our '07 interview

:: Point Break Live | No Good ::
Last Friday we checked out Point Break Live at Cell Space. Actors act out of the film and, though it had some chuckling moments, it isn't worth the $25 ticket cost. You're going to be WAY better off renting the film, buying beer and/ or pot, ordering some pizza, and watching it at home with some friends, and getting MST3K on it. The film is way funnier than watching some bad actors act it out on stage (the guy acting Gary Busey's part was pretty good though). Hate to be negative here, but really, if you're going to drop that kind of cash, go and see an actual good play down at the ACT... And $5 for a can of Heineken is a bit much when you dropped $25 to get in... We stayed 20 minutes past the second half before we took off, so we must have missed the blood and water spray which made it necessary for the audience to all wear rain gear... No recommend from us (seemed like it should have cost $8)... People on Yelp loved it, but that makes sense... and really, was that guy who played Keanu Reeves really from the audience. Seemed suspect.

:: Gary Baseman | May 2nd ::
La Noche de la Fusion featuring new paintings, sculptures and drawings from LA based Gary Baseman ( our 6/08 interview) opens Saturday, May 2nd at Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City. This isn't going to be your normal art reception says Baseman. "The exhibition will open up with a celebration. A carnivale, a feista, a party. We will have girls in costume, Baseman creatures and live music, and it will culminate with a sacrifice, a ceremony, at the end of the celebration before we start the reception."... Sounds mental. Anyone down in LA wanna cover it for Fecal Face?
Baseman traveled the world in '08 for shows, speaking engagements, workshops and other art related gigs. La Noche de la Fusion focuses on breaking down those walls that keep us apart as distinct cultures by embracing the differences and fusing them into my own surreal world. May 2, '09 - Corey Helford Gallery - 8522 Washington Blvd Culver City

:: Johnny Utah, Brah ::
Point Break is like the best/ worst easily quoted movie of all time ( watch the trailer). Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves star in this classic bank heist/ surfing flim. This Friday comes Point Break Live at CELLspace where actors act out the entire film and one lucky audience member gets to play Keanu ( sounds pretty funny). Anyway, I'm making it sound lame. It sounds better here. Have yet to see it, but we're going Friday night to check it out. Warning: besides monsoons and fake blood, there is gunfire and violence. This show is not for the squeamish or faint of heart. And it is messy.... so please leave the designer outfits at home! Seriously!... A bit expensive at $25, but we'll tell you if it's worth if after we check it out.

:: Sinking Outside the GG Bridge ::
Last week we told you a bit about the sailboat that lost its keel 8 miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge and of the dramatic rescue. WELL, READ THE ENTIRE EVENT as told by one of the two survivors on the boat. As I looked around I saw the clear, black, starry sky above us. There was a sliver of a moon directly to windward, which had a kind of spooky look to it above the frothing waves that kept rolling down on us. Looking the other way I could see right up the lighted streets of the city. I could see the flashing lights of the Golden Gate Bridge, and I could see Alcatraz lighted up below it. It all looked so close, but it seemed a lifetime away... Very intense read of survival and rescue as compiled by Sailing Anarchy.

:: Cocaine Cowboys ::
Watched the super interesting documentary Cocaine Cowboys last night which chronicles the drug trade in Miami during the '70s and '80s. Nuts to see how the city exploded as cocaine became more and more popular. Drug dealers making millions as coke entered the US threw Miami from Columbia- dozens of corrupt cops and city officials including multiple mayors convicted on fraud charges- banks opened and flourished with tons of cash flowing in- luxury clubs and resorts exploded to indulge the millionaire dealers. The city thrived on the drug trade until the wars started and the crack downs took place. Interviews with the dealers involved and the cops trying to stop it... Super interesting for sure. Rent it or watch it instantly on Netflix.

ZERO GRAFFITI IN SAN FRANCISCO? <-- "This is an upcoming meeting of business owners, etc to figure out a way to squash out all graffiti in SF. If you read the details, they're advocating CALLING MOTHERFUCKING 911 if you witness graffiti in progress.
Doesn't this seem like a nuts abuse of an emergency system, like those people that call 911 to report they got the wrong order at a drive thru?... I'm not like 'pro graffiti' guy, but I kind of want to know that if me or my family is bleeding, they're not out there chasing "Wyno" or whatever." Thanks for the email, Brady. Totally agree!

:: Let's Play Ball ::
No Manny, but who the hell needs him anyway? Giants got 3 Cy Young winning pitchers on board (congrats, Lincecum!) and pretty decent set of bats through Molina, the new hot Sandoval, Lewis, and Winn (hopefully Rowand can get things together)... Anyway, we wanna see the rain hold up so that Lincecum can get his first win of the season and the Giants get their winning start of 1-0 and go on to win the weak west division (what Dodgers?)... and hey, when you see a game, sneak in some strong hootch and get your yell on. That stadium could use less email checkers and more fans... Go Giants!!

:: Marci Washinton Thursday ::
Marci Washington, recent CCA MFA graduate and Fecal Pal for years, opens her solo show Dark Mirror Thursday at Rena Bransten ( 77 Geary 2nd Floor) 5:30 - 7:30pm. Titles such as Mistress, Drowned, Chandelier, and Stricken conjure up thoughts of crumbling mansions and old east coast families where secrets loom and beauty is found in the rust of past grandeur. Read our interview with her from last year.

:: West Collection ::
West Collection was founded by Paige West, the daughter of SEI Investments CEO and founder Al West, in 1996 as a way for SEI investments to aquire some "provocative art - art that full conversations around the water cooler" there at SEI offices. Paige was 26 then and began a collection that has grown to over 2,000 pieces. We found out about them after reading some PR about Don Porcella's show which opens tonight at Swarm Gallery in Oakland. West Collection had purchased his entire installation at the 2008 NEXT Art Fair in Chicago... Anyway, West Collection has a grip of great work on their website. Hours could be spent browsing the artist profiles. Every click you'll find something really great. CHECK OUT THEIR ARTIST PROFILES and enjoy yourself.
