Henry Washer @ Heebee JeeBee Gallery, Petaluma
Henry Washer loves playing with wood and it all started because his parents never gave him toys or let him watch TV. I’m only half serious about the toy thing, but either way his meandering philosophies about the world and motivation to communicate his experience have resulted in careful destruction as a creative process. When almost everything we come in contact with today can be reduced to pixels or binary code, Henry’s work discourages digital simplification.
Art Fairs Descend Upon San Francisco This Week
As last year proved to be a good formula for art success, San Francisco will once again host 3 coinciding art fairs this weekend: artMRKT, ArtPadSF, and the SF Fine Art Fair. We are getting ourselves prepared for a few nights out, a few afternoons out of office, perhaps even a picture or a 100 of all the activity going on throughout the city. A rundown after the jump . . .
The World's Tallest LEGO Tower for 80th birthday of LEGO
They even let the Danish Crown Price Frederik place one of the last blocks on the tower, to honor the 80th Anniversary of the famed toy company, LEGO. In Seoul, Korea, in front of the Olympic Stadium, 4,000 children and over 500,000 LEGO blocks came together to create, at least for the time being, the tallest LEGO tower ever constructed at 105 feet. If this were done in America, after about 3-feet the kids would have been bored.
The Raid: Claymation w/Cats by Lee Hardcastle
We don't care if you are tired of cats on the web, because what Lee Hardcastle does is beyond just cats. He recreates films with claymation cats, violence and gore all included. His newest claymation is a remake of the 2011 Indonesian film, The Raid, an extremely violent movie directed by Gareth Evans. But we are here to talk about cats.
Lips, Lips, and more Lips by Kim Sung Jin
Haruki Murakami has a thing for ears. In each of his novels, you get a girl, pulling her hair back, revealing some an ear that has the lead character on notice. Kim Sung Jin has a thing for lips. How do we know? We just spent nearly an hour looking at hundreds of photorealistic lips painted dramatically by the Korean artist.
