We are Art as Fuck. Come see what all the fuss is about!
May’s motif – Edgy Irreverence and Sexuality. Duh.
Exhibit Location: The Irish Pol
45 S. 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106
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!

The Brooklyn Nets yesterday introduced their black and white color scheme and new logo as the team prepares for its exciting relocation to Barclays Center for the 2012-13 NBA season. Created by JAY Z, the Brooklyn Nets’ brand identity celebrates the history and heritage of the city. View from Couch: Brooklyn, Wait No More
Rarely do I watch an entire Kickstarter pitch, but I crush on Amanda Palmer hard and this is a great gimmick for a campaign video. And well, she’s right, this is the future of music and art and filmmaking and invention and chemistry, construction, innovation and baking. Although the word future is not what it used to be. Future now means….. next 6 to 8 months? So we agree with her proclamation until September? Maybe November?

“We are delighted to be sharing the stage with pals in Band Of Horses. We danced a beautiful dance together at Madison Square Garden and there is a lot of love between our camps. It’s gonna be a good old-tyme thrill ride!” – Jim James
Shortly after completing their back to back tours in Japan and Australia, My Morning Jacket are taking their celebrated, exhilarating live show back on the road this August with the announcement of their North American tour, with Band Of Horses in support.
Since their sold out Madison Square show to end off 2011, they’ve played a triumphant performance at the Independent Spirit Awards in February and shared the stage with Preservation Hall Jazz Band commemorating their 50th Anniversary at Carnegie Hall. Jim James also completed a tour with New Multitudes (Jay Farrar, Will Johnson and Anders Parker) in promotion of their album honoring Woody Guthrie. Additionally, the band has been busy curating the Forecastle Festival for the festival’s 10th Anniversary, where they will conjointly be headlining the event along with Wilco and Bassnectar.
In a hip little stretch of street, some blocks inland from Venice beach lies the current exhibition of Michele Mikesell’s anthropomorphic tribute to one of the most interesting places of rest in Oklahoma, Hugo. Historically known as the destination for removed American Indians and later Russian Jews, Hugo is now known only for a non-deadly shootout in a Walmart parking lot in 1993 and for it’s uncomfortably large population of Carnies.
Harry 18x24
Yes, this little Okie homestead, population less than 6000, is known to the world as Circus City, who knew? Apparently Michele and Wikipedia. So while Auntie Madge goes to Boca Raton, all the tired elephants, angry clowns and 9-year-old bedazzled gymnasts go to Hugo for the winter. Not surprisingly, it is also where they often die or at the least have their worn out carcasses buried.
“Hugo, Ok”, the title of Madam Mikesell’s exhibit pays homage to those circuteers. This collection embodies the dark and tempestuous time of her subjects. Her historical portraits of bygone performers are now adorned with feathers, their eyes, tight and pointedly avian. Her colors challenge the darknes, as a sole circus tent would amidst an approaching storm on the flat horizon of the Oklahoma plain.
It is quite apparent that Michelle has caught the spirit of those travelling performers, caged them in oil and brought them back to the visual world. And the icing on this cake? Once you are introduced to the likes of “The Great Humberto” on his tightrope or “Harry” on his mile high pole you can get in your pick-up truck, drive east and place a flower on their graves.
But for now go to Altered Space Gallery. A perfect haven off Abbot Kinney Blvd. in the part of Venice you’ll want to bring your grandmother for lunch and a stroll. There’s an added bonus, the front of the space is presently home to the pop-up M|Herrington Gallery which is currently showing Michelle Wiener, Cait O’Connor and Melissa Herrington herself. This ensemble is calming and comforting in tone while the subject matter embraces the imperfections of biological forms, human included.

No shocker with this one but last night I went to see Lucero at Union Transfer here in Philadelphia but with them came this band who at first listen was not sure what I thought.. Now I did watch the introduction to J Roddy Walston & The Business video they have on youtube and i thought this might just bee one of those bands you need to see. The dudes in J Roddy Walston & The Business put on a great show So check out the video for “Use Your Language”
