Is there a tiki art show going on now?
Uh..... did you not see the 2008 mentioned twice in the sentence you quoted above? Back away from the bong.
GROG see your confusion now. The Tiki Art show would START in August 2008, but it would end in January 2009. Sorry about that. You can go back to your bong.
For those who are not on Otto's email list:
WHAT: The "In Search of Tiki" art exhibit
WHEN: Friday, August 8, 2008, through Sunday, January 4, 2009
WHERE: Forest Lawn Museum at Forest
Lawn-Glendale, 1712 S. Glendale Avenue, Glendale,
CA 91205. For more information, please call
1-800-204-3131, or log on to http://www.forestlawn.com
HOW MUCH: Admission is free.
"In Search of Tiki," a fascinating juxtaposition
between the old and the new, between the
traditional Oceanic art made by the native
peoples of the Pacific Islands and the entire
gamut of second-generation Pan-Polynesian
artifacts that embellished restaurants and bars
from the 1940s through the mid-1970s. The
exhibit will also feature inventive
interpretations by a new group of artists who are
pushing the boundaries of Tiki Style and creating
objects that have little or no basis in
Polynesian arts.
"In Search of Tiki," which embodies the Forest
Lawn Museum's goal to enrich, inspire and educate
the community, will display traditional Oceanic
Tikis, featuring Polynesian, Micronesian, and
Melanesian figurative carvings and photography of
Tiki archeology in their original settings; Tiki
Americana, featuring 20th century American
carvings and paintings in the spirit of the
romantic South Seas; and current 21st century
tiki artists, such as Josh Agle (better known as
"Shag"), Mark Ryden, Anthony Ausgang, Art Katz,
Atomikitty, R.K. Sloane, and more. Authors
Douglas Nason and Jeff Fox will serve as guest
curators for the exhibit. Major contributors to
"In Search of Tiki," are Oceanic Arts Tropical
D?cor in Whittier, California, and the Marc and
Alice Davis Collection.
