For those of us out there tonight who are not at the Bowie Glam Bash at Celebrities, check out this great documentary about the New Romantics/Blitz Kids scene of the early 80′s, A Fine Romance on YouTube in 11 parts.

Tales from the Blitz
New Work by Erin McSavaney
Erin McSavaney wrote me recently to let me know about his upcoming show of new work at the Atelier Gallery from April 5th to the 28th.
From his artist’s statement:
“Based on rules and parameters, architecture is premised on the
creation of boundaries. But time and usage have the ability to strip
intent and function from a building, revealing its inhabitants’
successes and failures. Surfaces, stained and battered, become porous,
transparent. Evidence of beginnings, middles, and ends are clear.”
Not to be missed.
Upcoming Screening
What: In the Realms of the Unreal
Where: Gallery Gachet
When: March 28th, 7:30pm
Throwup Throwdown
This past Saturday evening, local street artists Jerm9ine and Andrew01 engaged in a battle of words and pasteups outside of the Gallery Gachet at 88 E Cordova. I wasn’t able to attend (have i mentioned the chaos engine that is my life these days?) but made it down on Sunday afternoon to survey the aftermath. Brilliant and engaging, more performance poetry than graffiti, it is exciting to see things like this happening in our fair city. Documentation of the event by jerm9ine, cameraman and shallom can be found here.
Also be sure to catch the current exhibition at the Gachet, Internal Guidance Systems: Contemporary Outsiders that includes artists from UK, Sweden, France, Australia, USA and Canada. Until March 29th.
