Junip - Always
This band comes over from dear Sweden. I'm not sure why but Sweden seems be pumping out a lot of great music right now! (Little Dragon, Robyn, Lykke Li) Maybe it's the painfully dark winters. This song is great and the whole album , Fields, from which this song comes is "melt in your mouth" good! They are playing a show in Los Angeles on November 14th. You should probably go see them.

It's dead....it's taxidermy madness!

Grand opening of The Rogue Taxidermy Show at La Luz de Jesus. Rogue Taxidermy is the creation of oddities using traditional taxidermy materials and techniques.

Guest curator Robert Marbury (along with his partners Scott Bibus and Sarina Brewer) coined the term in 2004, upon forming the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists. Road kill becomes a central part of their "recycled" philosophy, as are discarded livestock, destroyed nuisance animals, casualties of the pet trade and animals that have expired from natural causes. Other sculptures utilize taxidermy materials with custom stitching to fashion beasts from the recycled pelts of toy stuffed animals. Elements of technology and decoration combine to create ornaments that approach high art, not only in craft, but in concept. Materials and even species are mixed, helping to broaden presumptive definitions. Pieces in this exhibition span Steam Punk to Rococo-from playful to elegant. This exhibition includes new work from Enrique Gomez de Molina, Jessica Joslin, Elizabeth McGrath, and Brian Poor in addition to M.A.R.T. regulars Brooke Weston, Jeanie M, Melissa Dixson, Mirmy Winn, Alan Wadzinski, and founders Robert Marbury, Scott Bibus, and Sarina Brewer. The show opens Friday May 7 2010!

ART MADNESS

M. Scott Hove’s “Cakeland”

I first saw Scott Hove's work in Hi-Fructose magazine. I was instantly a fan. I have always loved sculpture made of unusual stuff.... and this certainly falls in that category. This show is at the La Luz Gallery in Los Angeles until May 2nd. They have recently expanded their gallery and this show features a piece you can actually walk into! yaaayyy!

Here’s a blurb from his interview in Hi-Fructose Magazine:

The cake sprung from a weird fascination I have always had with fake food. I used to collect fake food, fake fires, ice cubes, etc. These objects have spectacularly absurd existence, are utterly fake, and people see them strictly for their illusion, not for what they are. I celebrate this absurd illusion with the cakes.
