Fecal Face has a nice interview / studio visit with Evan Hecox, one of our favorite artists. Hecox recently had an exhibition at Stolenspace in London, and made a bunch of London-specific work for the occasion. Read and see the studio visit here.

Our neighbor and very talented artist, Mario Martinez (aka Mars-1) opens a new solo show at Fecal Face Dot Gallery this Friday, November 11 in San Francisco. We can’t believe it, but this is Mars’ first solo show in SF since 2005. Colin M Day just made this video, “Mars-1 x Everything Under the Sun” to coincide with the exhibition.

Because of the fire in the Lower Haight last month, Fecal Face Dot Gallery has moved to a new non-permanent location in the Inner Richmond in SF, and their first show will be Mars-1. The show opens on November 11, 2011, and they have a video to kick things off. Go. Check. It. Out.
Also in their front gallery , FFDG will be opening 11.11.11 featuring curated paintings and illustrations from a group of international artists that have caught our eye in the last year. These are some of the most exciting visual artists emerging today. Artists include Nathan Brown (Montreal), Ryan Bubnis (Portland), Huey Crowley (New York City), Ryan De La Hoz (San Francisco), Lola Dupre (Glasgow, Scotland), Hamishi (Melbourne), Russell Leng (Vancouver), Charles Martin (New York City), Eric Shaw (San Francisco), and Winnie Truong (Toronto).
As we are celebrating a one-night or more show with Swampy this Saturday, June 11, our neighbors at Fecal Face Dot Gallery will be doing a great one as well, with Mel Kadel and Travis Millard. We are really big fans of both of their work, so we are going to have to do some double-fisting on Saturday. Except for AK, she doesn’t drink.

Fecal Face has a nice interview they just posted with the artist they are showing opening this week, Josh Keyes. The show opens this Thursday, April 7, the same time our sisters at FIFTY24SF are showing KMNDZ. Keyes’ Magician’s Garden looks like it will be another gem from the very talented Portland based artist, with the work getting even more detailed. We are excited about this one.

Our new neighbors, Fecal Face, have their first show at their new space in the Lower Haight, West, Wester, Westest Part 2, featuring curation by Ryan Travis Christian. The show will be Chicago-themed, well, almost Chicago-themed as one artist is from NYC (Ted Gahl, whose work is above) and one is from Oakland, Rogelio Gamez. But the rest are from the great city of Chicago.
Here is what Ryan Travis Christian had to say: “In the second iteration of West, Wester, Westest, I’ve once again chosen a selection of emerging and mid-career artists that A) don’t regularly exhibit in SF, if at all. and B) create work that “throws a wrench” so to speak, into what FFDG regularly shows. As a long time fan of Fecal Face, I’m honored to have such an immense platform to expose these artist to the world on. In terms of style and/or concept, these artists produce works that are very forward thinking and often experimental, throughout various mediums. The works exhibited, will run the gamut of content, from grossly disturbing to humorous, to bold and beautiful abstraction and then back again. Please join us @ FFDG’s new location in the Lower-Haight (248 Fillmore @Haight) on March 11th for the opening reception of West, Wester, Westest Part 2, I will be in attendance.” -Ryan Travis Christian
Very excited t0 have Fecal Face Dot Gallery on the block. Good shows and good art ahead.

Eric Yahnker has been the talk of the town, as some of our colleagues have been raving about the work of Eric Yahnker. We are into the work as well, and after seeing a few previews, Fecal Face made it out to the show and took some nice photos. We love the Lasagna can, Warhol a la 2011. The pizza piece, too, is priceless. We can see a lot of this work being popular with people…

Alan Bamberger goes to a ton of shows in the San Francisco area, and a lot of people consider what he says to be gospel. We just think he is a good lad. He runs artbusiness.com, which you should check as often as you can.
Fecal Face Dot Com has an interview with Alan… watch.

Before the show closes on October 8th, we stopped by the 10 Years of Fecal Face Dot Com show at the Luggage Store Gallery on Sixth and Market in San Francisco. Lots of good work to see, from Shepard Fairey, David Choe, Faile, Mars-1, Jeremy Fish, Maya Hayuk amongst others, as well as some amazing classic pieces from Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, Margaret Kilgallen, and the Date Farmers on the bottom floor. Fantastic show all around. Go check it out if you can before it comes down. —The Citrus Report staff
