Dirty Show 11, February 12-20

Unfortunately, Christina and I will be in Wisconsin for a pond hockey tournament and will not be able to go to the opening of this year’s Dirty Show at Bert’s Warehouse Theatre in the Russell Industrial Center. The amount of talent that is participating in the show is pretty insane. Some of my favorite artists including Brian M. Viveros, Handiedan, and Colin Christian have all produced work for the show. Tristan Eaton is also one of four guest curators invited to participate this year. The opening reception is Friday February 12th at 7pm and advanced tickets are priced at $15.

Finally, due to limited internet access we will return to regular posting on Monday.
It’s All About (C): CPOP Recap
On Saturday, CPOP held a “farewell opening gala” for it’s last show at its Detroit location. (See my last post for more about CPOP’s future.) The place was packed, with several of the artists in attendance. Afterwards, we had dinner next door at Majestic and then saw a band at the Magic Stick. It made me feel a little wistful to imagine that block of Woodward without CPOP.

I hope by existing solely online for a while, CPOP can ride out the recession and reopen again. I really believe that seeing the art on their walls in person is the only way to really appreciate it. On a monitor, I’ve never realized how amazing Glenn Barr’s paintings are. And I’ve never noticed the crackled texture of Shepard Fairey’s seemingly flat screenprints.

Click below to see more pics from the show. The photography is a little better this time, but I think I need to do some research on how to take decent pictures of art. If I use a flash, the paintings have a glare, and if I don’t, they’re too dark. If you have any tips on this, please leave a comment! In addition, there are tons of pictures at CPOP’s Facebook page.

We got to design and print a poster for Darling Imperial's farewell show at the Berkley Front. They let us do whatever we wanted, so we went with vintage lettering and a weathered, faded feel.
