Get it? “Sheep art” instead of “street art”? It’s good right? Yeah, ok no. Well since it’s Friday, how bout “Friday Night Lights”, you know like the tv show? Still no? Fine, then how bout just “a herd of sheep with lights attached to them forced to run around and form things in groups for our enjoyment”? Settled.

Six places to be and see great things starting this Friday and Saturday, ending next Saturday and next next Saturday, and continuing for more future Friday and Saturdays.

• One of my favorite California artists, Luke Chueh, and his melancholy bears opens the Corey Helford Gallery in Culver City with his latest works in “From Light Cometh Darkness”.

• The lovely Susan Cianciolo (with the Ladies Choir in tow) brings her new winter fashions out west with “Trees at Night” to Space 15Twenty, one of Hollywood’s newest destinations. You may remember the Ladies Choir from their special performances during screenings of our Sister Corita film at the Hammer for Flux as well as at the opening of the Sister Corita art retrospective at CSUN.

Space 15Twenty
Opening reception:
Saturday, March 21st 4-6pm
1520 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028

• Mark Jenkins opens his solo art show “The Golden Ass and Other Stories” at the Stricola Contemporary in NY this Satuday. I’m interested to know how his installations on the worlds busiest city streets (video too) will translate to the relative quiet of an indoor gallery. If any of you East Coasters go let me know!

• Last week to check out Bill McMullen’s “Hype, Hustle, Ripoff” show at the Constant Gallery on La Cienega as it ends it’s run next Saturday March, 28th.

• And if you’re going to be on the central/west sides of town checking out some of these shows, you may as well head to the Honor Fraser Gallery for KAWS’ first show in LA, “The Long Way Home”. If you wisely evaded the opening weeks of madnessyou have a few more weeks to check it out as it ends April 4th.

• And if you’re not interested in checking out these great gallery shows you may want to spend your time in a darkened theater for a trip to the opening of Tokyo!, a film in three parts by Michel Gondry, Leos Carax, and Bong Joon-Ho. You can read my review of this fine film here.
