Spencer Tunick Gets 5,000 people to take it all off in Australia

Spencer Tunick did it again bringing people together.... Spencer is a friend and has been in shows at the gallery a few times. I lovvvve his photos and own one of a bunch of naked people lined up at surf break in Brazil.
The guy running with the pink tee shirt is a friend, artist collector surfer pal
Roger Stevens who works with Spencer.
Too bad they had to blur the video and give it that guilty bad look!
I almost forgot, we live in a Puritanical society.

Ed Templeton "The Seconds Pass"

Ed signing autographs.

Ed and artist- actor- comedian Kevin Christy. And Kevin you were right!
Naheed has serious ESP!

Awesome artist,skater,vegan -- Ed Templeton had a solo show last night in Culver City.
Go on by and see the large run on photo. Truly the epitome of So- Cal art...
Ed took "drive by photos" from his car over the course of 15 years and this was the climatic show stopping experience.
As Ed said -- " it was minimal for him."
Especially,compared to his usual installations of tightly hung (no pun intended ED!) salon style,mixing of photos and paintings and sculptures.... this show was simplistic. one idea. that reads fast and simple.
It ran around the room in a perfectly straight line of non stop narrow photos.
I would have liked to seen the photos
a little bit larger,because there seemed to have been details that my lazyness wanted to see even faster without having to study them. The size Ed chose did create tension and worked. It is a beautiful show and elegant in it's simplicity while still channeling Ed's vision of OC life. I am sure the show would be breath taking without people in the gallery. But that is the downside of attempting to see
art at an opening...
Just the raw continual sequence of photo...Ahhhhhh Nice. Go by and see the show
without the crowds and take it all in.

Did not get to see Deanna
except for an instant in the corner of my eye but she was of course there and all smiles!

Congratulations go out to Ed on another strong and cohesive body of work I had no idea he even had.
Show up till April 3rd.
5801 Washington Blvd.
Culver City

name from a liquor store a few blocks from where I live in Silverlake. A big shout out

Last weekend Tim Kerr had a solo show at Family Book Store on Fairfax , just a few blocks
from NIA. Mike Watt and No Age and Tim of the Texan skate band The Big Boys rocked out
and shook the books off the shelves! BTW it is impossible to walk into Family and not buy something. Their books are killer!!! I bought one on Eddie Martinez's artwork and few zines
and Tim's book....Tim curated a group show which included Rich Jacobs and me along with many friends.
These pics are courtesey of my buddy,Laurie Steelink who is working with Mike Watt's photos
