Summer’s Not Over; Group Shows Alive and Kicking

Posted on July 30, 2010 | Leave a comment

Despite what the department store windows are telling us, summer is not over. Thus, the season of dynamic group shows is yet to be concluded, affording you one more month to see top-notch surveys of emerging artists and the like.

One such noteworthy exhibition in particular is at Joshua Liner Gallery, on view from August 14 – September 2, 2010. Featuring MMG’s Kenichi Yokono and Jeremy Fish, the concise and aptly titled “Summer Group Exhibition” will act as a potential preview of the gallery’s 2010/2011 program. Also featuring works by Kris Kuksi, SWOON and twenty others, the show will surely end JLG’s summer on a high note.

For more information on the exhibition or featured artists, visit the gallery’s website.

A sincere thanks to everyone who made it out to Santa Monica for Chad Person‘s first LA solo show opening – between the massive inflatable sculpture photo-ops and a live golf ball cannon demo, we’re confident that it was a unique event in and of itself.

We mustn’t be alone in that assessment to boot – as Daily Serving‘s Seth Curcio published a fabulous article on Chad’s exhibition. Read the full length article here, and check out the opening night photos below!

PLANET Magazine has the market on Going Green and global consciousness covered, and they do it with enviable style. Raising awareness through art, architecture, fashion, film, music and design, the publication is an e-Bible for all things Eco, with an insatiable appetite for dynamic culture to boot.

Their most recent campaign, dubbed “EARTH BY,” features ten contemporary artists’ interpretations of the world through limited-edition prints for sale. 10% of each sale is donated to Charity:Water and 350.org for their conservationist causes, and in choosing to purchase one of these fine works, you have the potential to own your very own Allison Schulnik – who was invited to participate in the project – for $75 – $375.

To view Schulnik’s contributed piece, or purchase a print, visit the PLANET website.
