END OF THE WORLD!


Please join our good friend Chaz Bojorquez on Friday, December 21, 2012, 6 PM - 2 AM, at Plaza De La Raza, Boathouse Gallery for his END OF THE WORLD exhibit!


Smogtown presents a solo exhibition titled “END OF THE WORLD” featuring new works by Los Angeles esteemed artist, Chaz Bojorquez.  

Opening reception accompanied with entertainment program is Friday, December 21, 2012, 6 PM - 2 AM, at Plaza De La Raza, Boathouse Gallery, 3540 Mission Road, Los Angeles, 90031.  Exhibition runs through January 31, 2013.

The Mayan calendar has just completed a full cycle of 5,125 years as of December 21st, 2012
predicted as an apocalypse ‘End of the World’ of humanity, glorified by movies, rushed occult writers, bloggers and New Age visionaries foreseeing all manner of monumental change, from dooms day to a new age of enlightenment.  

To celebrate this singularly monumental moment in time, the evening includes a special ceremonial Mayan dance performed by Danza Xipitotec, live music by Youth Mariachi Plaza de la Raza, Very Be Careful and DJ Beeside.

We'll be there supporting a long time Crewest friend and LA Godfather of graffiti.
Hope you can make it to!

"BUY PRODUCT" A SOLO SHOW BY TWO RABBITS

Two Rabbits Solo Show "Buy Product" Opens:
Thursday, January 12, 2012 from 6 – 10 pm during the Downtown Artwalk

Crewest has just opened a third room to our gallery space namely “The Front Room”, making it now a larger, high ceiling, 3 room gallery space. A new solo show by a special guest artist will open in The Front Room every artwalk night. Come out this coming artwalk to view "Buy Product" a Solo Show by Two Rabbits.

Buy Product” will feature the latest work of Two Rabbits which drastically focuses on the repurposing of their by-product. From their test prints to their mixing sticks, Two Rabbits see the chaos and beauty of their artistic endeavors in everything that's left over. Two Rabbits have taken what many consider to be useless scrap and turned it into beautiful works of color and shape to display.


“Buy Product” will be on display from January 12 through February 5, 2012


About Two Rabbits:
Two Rabbits Studios is a design firm, commercial screen print shop, and fine art studio ran by Los Angeles-based artists Mike Thacker and Bob Motown. Since 2007, the pair have designed and printed hundreds of rock posters and promotional pieces for movies and video games. Two Rabbits started small in a North Hollywood backyard—less than five years later, and they've been featured in galleries, Flatstock poster shows, and craft fairs in the United States and UK. They've worked with Warner Music Group and concert promoters Goldenvoice for artists ranging from Skrillex to  Wu Tang to Portishead. Recently, Thacker and Motown's focus has been on fine art pieces that reflect upon their hand-printed process and design.

ART + EXHIBIT PICS: BEFORE THE REVOLUTION

If you haven't made it down to the gallery to see Gusmano Cesaretti's exhibition, you're really missing something!

In case you don't know the man has been documenting LA life and culture since the early 70's. Gangs, Virgen Mary murals, graffiti, he was even one of the first to photograph Chaz Bojorquez and publish a book featuring his street graff.

Couple of the folks that showed up last weekend to bless his show included: re-known digital artist David Em and "Quantum of Solace" movie director Marc Forster.

Here's the slideshow of his art and the opening reception. If interested in purchasing some of his grid images, they are very affordable, most only $30-$50 each!

Enjoy!
