Sure, we are happy that Raymond Pettibon has another show at Regen Projects in LA, but really we just think this piece of art is fantastic. Here is some press on it:

“Entitled Desire in Pursuyt of the Whole, this is the artist’s ninth solo exhibition at the gallery. The show’s title refers to Baron Corvo’s complex novel of three interlocking plots where the author is thinly disguised as the protagonist. Pettibon’s work often combines his own writing with quotes lifted from a myriad of sources ranging from quotidian to classical literature. His upcoming exhibition will feature new works in which the subject matter is a continuation of the artist’s oeuvre: the landscape of war, politics, popular culture, art, literature, sports, religion, and sexuality. Pettibon will also exhibit his signature depictions of heroic surfers dropping into epic waves. Working in both large-scale color works and collage, the layering of images and text produces a multiplicity of elements that shift constantly in style, tense, and structure. “

We have long been distant admirers of the work of Richard Long, and his “Art made by walking in landscapes, photographs of sculptures made along the way” body of work. After seeing his work at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in 2006, in an exhibit called The Path Is the Place Is the Line, we became even bigger fans. Born in Bristol, England in 1945, and has shown internationally since 1968. His last major exhibition was at the Tate Britain in 2009. These particular landscape images range from the 1960s to 1980s, and are all shot in black and white.

Journey to the End of the World: Continued Adventures with the Infinite Wanderlust Crew

December 15th, 2010

Posted from The Citrus Report

I have been to the end of the world and back.

Not to be mistaken for Venice Beach, CA, Venice, Louisiana is the last community down the Mississippi River that is accessible by auto. For this reason, it has been nicknamed “the end of the world.” Driving through Lousiana’s backroads, the scene is speckled with enclaves of petro strongholds, with familiar names including BP, Chevron, and Halliburton. The road itself is nondescript; aside from giant American trucks crawling alongside us and rows upon rows of mobile homes, the landscape was lush with foliage but otherwise uneventful.

The two-hour drive was finally rewarded by an almost untouched estuary complete with wildlife and birds. One can only imagine what it may have looked like after the oil spill, but as far as I can tell it was nature reminding me of her splendor and beauty. A quiet fishing town, the very end of the road led to a dock where fishermen gathered for their daily bids.

After a brief moment with the landscape, the Infinite Wanderlust team and I made our way back towards New Orleans, where, after a brief dinner of a crawdaddy boil and other creole delectables, we journeyed into the night with Houston as our destination. Jason and Saelee came up with a new game, whereby Sherry would need to guess what city she is in upon waking up in the car. Not that hard of a game when you’re traveling through Texas, where there are a handful of cities one may end up in. But if you’re on a road trip where the end of the world is in your itinerary, the game may prove a tad more difficult.

Viveca Hawkins – The Memorials

July 20th, 2010

Posted from The Citrus Report

7b737a058f05x359.png Viveca Hawkins – The Memorials whitney houston songs slims night landscape Features citrus report berklee

I flew into Oakland in the middle of the night and rented the last car on the lot. A quick pit stop for swishers and coffee, and 10 minutes later I was watching The Memorials’ last run through their set. The band was holed up at Moondog Studios in Alameda, California, preparing for their first show ever, and playing with crazy, spastic, unhinged energy. I saw Viv in the corner booth, feeding off her band’s intensity and looking enthralled, a vibrant force itching to bust out. She’s been singing and performing her entire life, from her early recording sessions as an 11 year old, to her exploration of hip hop, jazz, soul, and rock n roll as a teenager and adult. She’s solidified her skills and fostered her ability to sing anything, through projects with the likes of Goapele, MF Doom, and Blackalicious, to name a few.

Viveca is Berkeley, born and raised, and she’s on the verge of making her mark on the landscape of rock music, alongside bandmates Thomas Pridgen and Nick Brewer. The Memorials form a powerful and balanced rock outfit that is melodic, yet ferocious, eclectic yet solid. If you took Tool, The Police, Erykah Badu, and a band from the moon (that sounds a lot like Frank Zappa), and put them in a blender…you’d get The Memorials.

A few days later, and between rehearsals, Viv and I kicked it on the couch in the control room, blazed one, and got the details down. You heard it here first, The Memorials are on a come up, and Viveca Hawkins is a big reason why.  —Evan La Ruffa for The Citrus Report

TCR: Where did you grow up?

Viveca Hawkins: I grew up in Berkeley, CA and never really left ‘til I went to college. When I went to Franklin for school, I started dancing “Baile Folklorico” and had did traditional Mexican dance since 2nd grade. I had a very multicultural upbringing, and was in bilingual classes in elementary…my dad’s Mexican and even though he wasn’t really in my life, my mom wanted me to have that. I was in a little banda group, and 7 or 8 girls would all pile into this green mustang…it was bad ass (laughs), I wanted that car soooo bad (laughs)…we’d drive to Richmond, and perform at little events…

I’ve always been a performer. I did a lot more of the traditional Mexican dance when I was younger, and then I got more into hip hop, jazz, and modern as I grew older.

TCR: When did you start recording?

I did my first session when I was 11 in a home studio, and then when I was 13 I started demoing tracks for this production company, and they taught me a lot. They would pre-record the songs and then I’d sing ‘em, so it didn’t help me creatively really, but they were definitely hard on me, and it whipped me into shape.

TCR: Biggest musical influences?

I know that I listened to a shitload of Whitney Houston! I listened to Whitney until my moms ears were bleeding…the bodyguard soundtrack was in my tape player forever! I was singin’ “I Will Always Love You,” sounding like shit, and lookin’ hella stupid, (laughs)…but I had a sense of respect for her talent.

TCR: So tell me how you and Thomas reconnected for The Memorials…

Thomas and I have known each other since we were 12 years old, and we’ve been  bumping into each other, living this life where our paths are just winding around the other, never necessarily going straight along, but always passing by…and ya know, we’d talk every now and then. He’d call me from across the world and talk shit to me (laughs)…it was a very funny love and hate relationship we had for a long time…
