Art Exhibit: Eric Joyner “It’s A Jungle Out There” - Eric will return for his fourth solo exhibit @ Corey Helford Gallery in California.  The exhibit, which was inspired by his recent trip to Thailand, will have its opening reception on Jan 21st at 7pm and it will run until Feb 8th. “It’s a Jungle Out There” will feature 18 pop-surrealism paintings of robots interacting with jungle animals such as elephants, monkeys and snakes. For example, in “All Wrapped Up,” a 48-by-36-inch oil painting, an anaconda coils around the body of a pink metallic robot, who holds a donut just out of reach.   Joyner realizes that the jungle is a strange locale for robots, but relishes in creating new environments for his electronic muses. “The best thing about creating these new worlds is that it takes me out of this one,” Joyner says. “I like discovering new places and things and this is one way for me to do it.” In addition to new robots and animals, “It’s a Jungle Out There” will also include Ultraman, a character from the 1960s Japanese television series.

Video: LRG Presents: Miami Art Basel w/ WITNES, DABS & MYLA - This video features footage of artists WITNES and DABS & MYLA as they traveled to Miami for Art Basel earlier this month, as well as showing them creating their murals.  While the exhibitions and shows were indeed a big deal, one of the best parts of Art Basel is that artists from around the world come and leave their work on walls in Wynwood’s art district.  The crew also hanged out with photographer Willie T.

Art Exhibit: POSE & KC Ortiz @ Known Gallery - Graffiti artist POSE and photojournalist KC Ortiz will unveil “Whitewash,” their second exhibit at Known Gallery in Los Angeles.

For POSE, Whitewash references society’s attempt to eradicate graffiti and stifle human expression. “Shortly after I started writing graffiti, Chicago took an extremely hard-line stance on its eradication, outlawing the sale of spraypaint and implementing Mayor Dayley’s Graffiti Blasters program,” POSE explains.

For KC, Whitewash is about the people and places he photographs. “Much of the work I do covers those who have been ‘whitewashed,’ so to speak, by history and policy,” KC notes. “Specifically, the work I will be exhibiting is from West Papua and Burma. You won’t find either of those ‘nations’ on the map, as both have been essentially ‘whitewashed’ away. Burma has been renamed Myanmar by its ruling junta in order to establish the fantasy of a unified nation, and West Papua has been occupied by Indonesia since 1963 after a very controversial handover from the Dutch that was orchestrated by the United States.”

POSE will show 15 new works while KC Ortiz will show 12 new photographs.  Opening reception is Saturday, Nov 19th from 8-11pm.  The exhibit will be up for view until Dec 10th.
