The gent who let us use his space..Phillip
is an architect.
He purchased the loft and lives upstairs with his wife and 2 adorable daschunds
Dave's Not home and him organized this
but only for a night as a gallery needs to be opened at different times,etc...
So it was the typical set-up/takedown situation
and seeing as we've all done our shares of events
this was a cakewalk..
except for BigToe..he's always late
seriously..
but he sets up fast,so it balances out....

Those tacos on that Kogi foodcoach must've been reeeeeeal good
because there was a block long line from 6-ish til 11
the whole time!!!!

The funnest part was seeing how different our show was from
the other art,stylistically,thematically...
Just different...kind of a higher art sense
whereas we were the lowbrow kids!
It was really interesting hearing feedback from people
or just watching their reactions to a 5 foot piece
confronting them with the last judgement...
Good Times....
Phillip , the owner of the space,really had a good time
and was open to doing this again...
I would suggest ALL DIfferent work next time
switch it out

in fact..Clysdalle wrote

You just keep banging out the same old stuff for the same old people....

i wouldn't call a Mandala, a Battle of Fish (based on a figure from a Han Dynasty Tomb,abstract rowing orongos,a fantastic depiction of a rapture,a last judgement,and a contemporary social commentary on Surveillance "same old stuff" I would venture to call an octopus/a cannibal Moai/and some Posada knockoffs more tired and over-used than those themes....
honestly!

Don't mask your anger by diversion,Clysdalle...
