5/31: Cooling System w/ Azalia Snail & Sylvia Juncosa in LA

COOLiNG SYSTEM

featuring AZALiA SNAiL & SYLViA JUNCOSA

Monday, May 31st, 9 pm
The Echo Curio

1519 Sunset Blvd   LA  CA, 90026
www.echocurio.com

$5.00 cover

Joining Azalia for her LA shows will be sax players Emily St Amand Poliakoff and Anastasia Shepherd. and guitar goddess Sylvia Juncosa as part of this COOLING SYSTEM night.


“Azalia Snail has been making her uniquely sweet, viscous, noise-inflected, tempo-bending psychedelia for almost two decades, recording a dozen or so albums between 1990 and 2006 on labels including Funky Mushroom and Dark Beloved Cloud.  She’s back with a disc on Silver Lake’s experimental True Classical Records, a dense haze of swooning vocals and seething synths cut by abrasive swaths of indie guitar mayhem. The music has its share of discordant moments and harsh textures, but somehow these are enveloped in a softening sheen; as Snail sings in the opening track, it is “Heavy mental/ Honeysuckle gentle.”

Neumusic review


“Azalia Snail appeared on the stage.  Right away at the beginning one felt that the audience would be given a special performance, even if only for four songs. While building a pedestal with a silver cover, over which she put her little white synthesizer, this feeling was only further strengthened.  Azalia Snail, who was formerly known as the “Queen of lo-fi,” did not actually need to do very much to place the audience under her spell.  Already the first song, Golden Slumbers, fascinated with the typical mix of Azalia Snail church organ and psychedelic indie sounds.”

Hamburg Press review

Azalia Snail has toured the USA, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand and has jammed with Beck, The Black Heart Procession, The Grifters, Trumans Water, Low, and many other unique musical artists.

Lisa Petrucci “Miss Menehune, 2010” – liquid acrylic and envirotex on wood 14” x 8”

Tiki Kiliki Productions in association with Harold Golen presents an on-site “Hukilau” group art show, “Poly Blend” as part of the opening night of the Hukilau 2010. “Poly Blend” combines a world-wide, multi-media mix of art that is exotic, tropical, modern, and primitive, in a Mid Century Modern flavored installation. The show includes paintings, sculptures and curiosities from Africa, Asia, The Bahamas, Brazil, Easter Island, Hawaii, North America, Peru and beyond.

The name “Poly Blend” is derived from the term “Poly Pop” or “Polynesian Pop” and this group show puts into perspective how visual “exotica” is a blend of many different styles, elements, geographical, cultural and ethnic art and icons.

Harold Golen is an art collector and curator who introduced the Pop Surrealist art scene to Florida via his gallery, Harold Golen Fine Arts, in the Wynwood Art District of Miami.

5/13: Jerico Woggon blacklight installation at the Neon Museum DTLA

On Thursday, May 13, in conjunction with Downtown Art Walk, “California Surf, ” a site-specific art installation by black light artist Jerico Woggon will go on display at the Museum of Neon Art – Downtown Los Angeles.

Born and raised at the beach in Summerland, California, surfing was a childhood activity that became Jerico’s passion into adulthood.  Currently living in Downtown LA, Jerico still derives inspiration from images related to nature, the beach, and surfing which is a major influence in his black light art.  The surfing theme will continue inside in the lobby gallery with neon works by Larry Manson, Richard Ankrom and Randy Noborikawa.

Following the MONA opening and Downtown Artwalk, Join Jerico and friends for Jerico’s Art Bar, a Thursday Night Mellow Mixer Downtown LA at Boyd Street Bar and Grill for  Jerico’s Art Bar:  410 Boyd St. LA CA 90013

CUT & STITCH (18″ x 24″) Acrylic + Ink 2010

Luke Chueh

Luke Chueh’s “Beginnings / Endings (And Other Worthless Epiphanies)” bears all the stylistic stamps Chueh’s fans have come to love. Employing minimal color schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless suite of ill-fated situations, Chueh balances cute with brute, perched on the fine line between comic and tragic.

Chueh studied graphic design at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obipso where he earned a BS in Art & Design (Graphic Design concentration). Employed by the Ernie Ball Company, he worked in-house as designer/illustrator creating award-winning designs, and was featured in the design annuals of Communication Arts and Print Magazine. As if this were not enough, Chueh also created, produced, wrote, designed, edited and published “E.X.P.”, a ‘zine dedicated to the “Intelligent Dance Music (IDM)” genre. In 2003, Chueh moved to Los Angeles to further pursue a career in design, only to join the ranks of the under-employed. He resorted to painting as a way to keep both his edge and his sanity. When the Los Angeles underground art show, Cannibal Flower, invited him to exhibit at their monthly events, Chueh began his ascent into the LA art scene. Chueh has since established himelf as the arbiter of disarmingly benign menace. Ever the designer, Chueh also has a new toy coming out through Munky King. www.lukechueh.com

DECADENCE

Mari Inukai “Decadence“

Mari Inukai works in oil on canvas, and graphite and charcoal on paper to create a world straddling childhood and adulthood, sexuality and decadence, “between the choices I’ve made and where life has put me,” states the artist.

She draws a contrast between sweet and bitter, soft and hard, the yummiest chocolate and the deadliest poison. “Riding that line – that edge between the two – between the yin and the yang,” states Inukai.

A native of Nagoya, Japan, Inuaki came to the United States in 1995 to study art. She has since amassed a long list of credits including work for Sanrio, Disney, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon, as well as clothing and ceramic figure design. Her animated short, Blue and Orange, was an official selection at Sundance 2003 and was the Japanese Gran Prix winner at the Short Shorts Film Festival EXPO 2005. www.mariinukai.com

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.

On Saturday, May 8, there will be a Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists Live Taxidermy Masterclass & Chili Gamefeed Featuring Robert Marbury and special guests from 6pm – 9pm.

The Squirrel Masterclass/Gamefeed with be led by Scott Bibus, with help from Jeanie M. Following the Demo, Chef Winter Rosebudd will be serving up Squirrel Chili. A vegan “Mock-Squirrel” Chili will also be available. Beer sponsored by Schmaltz Brewing Company.
