My father lives (and hoards) in rustic ol’ Rochester NY. Not much would pull me to this bygone home of the great hunter and Kodak founder, George Eastman, but the fact that my pops is there. Well, there are also some pretty rad artists, Lea Rizzo being one of them.

We begrudgingly shelled out a door fee for a not-so-awesome bar called Bug Jar where her work is currently installed. A little further exploration and her art led me to Sweet Meat Co. a Rochester art collective, not too shabby! Just wanted to share this with you… maybe there is a reason, other than my father’s 3246 beer signs, 392 lawn mowers and 7000+ “I LOVE MY KITCHEN” plaques to visit this slice of Americana.
Lea Rizzo’s installation remains on view through June 6

Opening Reception
Friday, May 4, 2012
5-11PM

ARTISTS INCLUDE :
J.L. Joseph Beaulieu (Philly) Headlining photographer who’s meteoric upstart career fools us into thinking he’s an overnight success. A cross-motif of lavish ladies in irreverent poses, mixed with shocking self portraits … A combination that sounds polarizing, but meshes almost seamlessly. See it to believe it. A thousand words do no justice.

Amanda Shames (Philly) A painter whose embodiment has to be seen to be believed. A study in contrasts. A charming darling whose art betrays a Femme Fetale side that you could have only hoped for. One to watch, and who is hard to stop watching …

Fran Frank Francis (Philly) Infamous front man for notorious punk band Scareho – and sculptor? Artists of many mediums, this local legend does what he does. Fin. Onlookers be damned. You either love him or leave him – and we’re not leaving.

Recurring themes will include:
- Tater Tots, Starburst and Sweedish Fish on toothpicks (fancy as fuck!)
- 60 Ye-Ye GoGo dancing all night long!
- A Full Bar
- French 60s Gogo Pop all night long!
- Drunkenness.

Our 1st Fridays run late – because we don’t stop partying!

Watch as respected street artist Jeff Soto teams up with Chevrolet in an amazing world-first street-art collaboration. Check out what an artist and a paint-spraying robot car can create! For behind-the-scenes footage and more ridiculous Sonic stunts, visit www.LetsDoThis.com.

DATA GARDEN: QUARTET is the first bio-reactive and plant-controlled work of art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, hosted by Megawords from April 13-15th.
from DG:
“Situated in the Megawords exhibition space, participants will be encouraged to accompany four large tropical plants that are fitted with specialized electronic sensors. By converting the physiology of the specimens into data, the plants will perform quadraphonic audio compositions in real time. The very presence of museum goers will affect this performance, resulting in a unique composition from moment to moment.”

In conjunction w/ the Zoe Strauss: 10 Years Exhibition at Philadelphia Museum of Art

OPENING on April 6th, 2012 @ 7pm to 11pm
(Show runs to May 3rd, 2012)
