sara ishii and agenda symposium this weekend
tonight is the sara ishii show at sozo gallery. 4524 cole. 7 to 9 pm. lovely large (wait, massive) scale oil paintings of little details of shoes. so so fabulous. they make me feel like a little kid for some reason. the sensation of being a tiny person and looking really really close at something else tiny and undiscovered, except by perchance the shoe's designer. anyway. it's a show not to be missed. did i mention they're oil. yep, i did. they'll blow yer mind.
and last night after the counter culture show (which was soooo much fun and productive in a zillion non-obvious ways) nyddia and i ran over to continental to get a peak at the final (well, almost final) install of the roskey-rhodes show saturday night. it was enough to give me chills and i'm trying to figure out how i'm going to buy some of the work. i have no money for such madness, especially at the end of the year, but my gosh, i need some of it in my life for as long as i live. the show is called 'agenda symposium'. without going too much into detail, it's killer exhibition revolving around themes of social order and urbanism and ruralism. saturday night at 3311 elm from 7 to 10. www.pigeonstoneproject.com
