Wise.
May 11th, 2012
Dark, twisted, a great quote from Mr Bukowski. A lot of truth in this one. And when we say kill is the truth, we just mean that it consumes you. That’s all. Not too dark. Its Friday.

Painting, Bombing, and Buffing LA’s Freeways: Lecture @ Los Angeles Public Central Library
May 11th, 2012
Straight from South Willard’s great blog:
Sat, May 12th ~ 2pm
Los Angeles Public Central Library
Stefano Bloch will discuss the birth, life, and slow death of L.A.’s iconic Olympic Festival freeway murals. His talk is based on in-depth ethnographic research conducted on the graffiti community and historical research conducted on L.A.’s Chicano and mainstream muralist traditions. Bloch argues that two decades of bad policy, belligerent graffiti abatement, and combative freeway bombers conspired to turn aesthetically inviting freeway walls into alienating beige eyesores. He will also be showing images from the Los Angeles Public Library Photo Collection and sharing excerpts from his personal archive of interviews, images, and reflections that focus on the appearance of L.A.’s public walls.
Sponsored by the Photo Collection and the Art, Music, & Recreation Department, presented by Photo Friends
Parking is available at 524 S. Flower St. Garage (show your LAPL library card at the Central Library’s information desk to receive a validation for reduced rates). Handicap accessibility available.
Los Angeles Public Central Library, Mark Taper Auditorium

Tom Sachs x Nike = NikeCraft Mars Yard Shoe
May 11th, 2012
First, we love Tom Sachs and all his bizarre NASA meets fine art work. But we are confused and fascinated by this Tom Sachs x NikeCraft Mars Yard Shoe (plus a collection of jackets and space bags) that Sachs has on his site’s shop, plus the beautiful spread at NikeCraft.com. What is going on? What is $350 but not really for sale? And when can we buy this amazing shoe?
From Sachs:
At NIKECraft, products are developed for athletes, not consumers. Our athlete, Tommaso Rivellini, is a mechanical engineer at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. Among many other projects, Tommaso invented the airbags used on the 1997 and 2004 Mars rovers. Long gone are the days of wingtipped brouges, pocket protectors, and skinny ties. The rocket scientist uniform of today is faded jeans, a golf shirt, and sneakers. These shoes are built to support the bodies of the strongest minds in the aerospace industry.
Special features include: outsoles borrowed from the NIKE special forces boot (SFB), vectran fabric from the Mars Excursion Rover airbags, and detailing from Apollo Lunar Overshoes. These premium athletic shoes thrive in the rugged terrain of the simulated Mars Yard in Pasadena, CA – as well as stealthily creeping the mission-funding hallways of headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“Rebel” @ JF Chen, Los Angeles
May 11th, 2012
James Franco’s long-awaited, year-delayed ode to the cult of “Rebel Without A Cause.” is set to open in Los Angeles at JF Chen through the MOCA on Saturday, May 12. “Rebel” features multi-media works from Franco, Harmony Korine, Douglas Gordon, Aaron Young, Ed Ruscha, Paul McCarthy, and Terry Richardson, and we think that there are gang-banging women riding around on bikes naked. Or something like that. It is Harmony Korine, after all.
