:: NO!!!!! ::

THE GOVENATOR WANTS TO CLOSE 223 STATE PARKS IN CALIFORNIA TO CURB BUDGET SHORTFALL <-- that's 25 parks within an hour of San Francisco including our beloved Angel Island, Mount Tamalpais, China Camp and Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin County, Mount Diablo, and several coastal beaches along the Peninsula!... Drastic cuts are necessary, the governor said, because of the slipping economy, declining revenues and a deficit that deepened after voters rejected five budget measures designed to help close the gap. Goldstein argued, however, that the savings derived from cutting the parks out of the budget would amount to 0.26 percent of the $24.3 billion budget gap... "It's a very, very tiny portion of the financial need, but the impacts would be draconian to say the least," Goldstein said. "Not only is this bad for people who are relying on state parks more than they ever have for recreation and vacation, but it is also bad for the communities surrounding these parks." -READ ON

POLAROID LOVERS TRY TO REVIVE ITS INSTANT FILM <-- In this small town just across the border from Germany, a small group of Dutch scientists and one irrepressible Austrian salesman have dedicated themselves to the task of reinventing one of the great inventions of the 20th century - Polaroid's instant film... Digital cameras are ubiquitous, cheap and easy to use - the reasons Polaroid stopped making the film last year - so what this group in Enschede is attempting may seem hopelessly retrograde. -READ ON & Check the slide show & audio - Thanks, Nat.

:: Chicago Porous ::

Hey, Chicago, Porous Walker is making his way out there to Believe Inn with a show entitled Ferris Buehler opening this Saturday featuring work from him and Chicago natives Gabe Levinson & Timothy Pigott. As everything Porous, should be interesting. You see our preview of his show at Receiver?
BelieveInn_PorousWalker_May%2030th_b.jpg
Porous Walker is a Chimpanzee at heart. He once met David Copperfield. His artwork has been featured in magazines and galleries around the world. His art is a reflection of the concepts and ideas derived from observing and absorbing the worlds around him. He likes laughing and trying to make others feel the same way. He was voted 'Best Cartoonist' in San Francisco by the San Francisco Weekly in 2006, after that he stopped being funny.

Our buddy Kill Pixie now living in LA but from Australia opens I'll Hit You Up Tomorrow May 30th down there in Los Angeles at Merry Karnowsky Gallery... Did you see our studio visit with him we did in March as he worked on the show? Great stuff.
PLAYERS_low.jpg
CEREMONIES_low.jpg
PR stuffs: Kill Pixie (Mark Whalen) began as a graffiti artist on the streets of Sydney, Australia. His medium of choice nowadays is mostly ink and acrylic on paper mounted to wood, and coated in shiny resin. Inextricably embedded in their geometric, candy-colored environments, Kill Pixie's humanoid characters are like puppets compelled to enact roles prescribed by powers beyond their control. The machinery and structures are all made up of much smaller objects, giving the impression of a kaleidoscope opening up into ever more intricate worlds.

:: Case Solved | Simon's Body Recovered ::

It's with a heavy heart that I report this morning that the case of the missing beta fish known as Simon has been solved.

At 10:52am Pacific this morning his body was recovered from a bag of paint rollers and paint trays.

In bed last night we retraced the evidence. Yesterday morning I noticed a trail of barely visible water slim on the desk which was very hard to see. You had to tilt your head just right. In the chaos of trying to find Simon I moved the bag which was next to the desk. I didn't realize that he could have fallen in... well, he did... We set him atop the desk for the first time the night of his death. We hypothesize that he didn't like the lights coming from the street which now would have been visible and made a jump for it. He must have forgot that he needs water to stay alive. Poor fella... The good news though is that our friend's body can be properly laid to rest in the San Francisco Bay come this Saturday. Please lower your head in prayer at 12pm Saturday in remembrance of this proud fish whose life was cut much too short.

Simon's body will be on display at Damon Soule's opening of Same Loud No which opens tomorrow at Fecal Face Dot Gallery. Long live Simon!

:: Simon R.I.P. ::

Changed Simon's water before leaving last night at 9:30pm. Wiped the crust out of my eyes this morning after opening the gallery. Went to say hi to my buddy Simon, the gallery Beta fish, but he was gone. His clean water glassed container was empty. Thinking he jumped ship or something, I searched the floor and cracks around the desk where his bowl sat... NOTHING. Simon straight disappeared!!! What the f*ck?! My buddy is gone without a trace. Killed by a rat? He evolved legs and ran away?! Where are you, Simon??? My desk is so lonely now. Not even a corpse to bury at sea. My friend is gone. The mystery of the missing Simon begins now... I WILL avenge your death, ol' buddy.

It's no secret we enjoy us some Oh Sees. The mugginess of last night's show at The Knockout only made it better. Hey, if you're in Ohio see them at Oberlin College Friday... Oh and the Movie Star Junkies from Italy were damn entertaining as well. Good times... Oh Sees at Amnesia May 15th btw.

Did anyone see the Kentucky Derby yesterday? Man, what a race! We try and keep it art related as much as possible but how often do you see an upset like that? In case you missed it, a 50-1 horse named Mine That Bird came flying up the rail from last place in the final stretch to win the race. It was so quick that announcer didn't even see it coming and hardly mentioned it at all. The horse cost $9,500 (compared the the million dollar horses owned by the leader of Dubai) and was brought up to the race on the back of a pick-up truck. It was the second biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history and has to be seen to be believed (especially jockey Calvin Borel's toothless cries of joy.. so rad). A girl I was sitting with had put $20 bucks on the horse because she liked the name and won $1,000. Watch the after race footage (about 7 minutes in) with the arial camera to see what an amazing move it was.

:: Rich Quick ::

The Carmichael Gallery in LA hosts Get Rich Quick featuring art from a lot of heavy hitters opening May 7th. That's good, but it's interesting to note the work comes from the collections of their collectors. Maybe bad economy hit these collectors and it's your win win if you score on their misfortune? Or another sign that the art market is still in freefall? You decide.
