Locust Projects annual fundraiser 2006

in , , ,

Tomorrow is the annual fundraiser for Miami cutting edge space Locust Projects. I participated last year and the show was very fun with people racing around to get their favorite artwork after their names are drawn at random. See flyer below.

I have donated one of the pieces from my series "ten convenient stores" that was shown at Art Basel Miami Beach 2005. Please see below for web reference. I hope to see you there tomorrow night.

All enquires please contact Ambrosino Gallery.

I never thought I would say this but I wish I lived in LA this past week. Because Banksy's "Barely Legal" show in LA looks like it was an instant classic. The show is the culmination of a busy few months of this prolific artist. In the past month alone he has cleverly completed several artistic performances that continue to impress. First he punked Paris Hilton, and in such a way that the HMV store representive seemed to admit he enjoyed it. Then he cleverly inserted a blow up Guantanamo Bay detainee into a ride at Disneyland and while he set up a warehouse show in LA. I wish I could be there but I guess the pictures will have to keep me interested for now (video here, and of the Elephant in the room here, and here, and pictures of the show here, here and here. Now, I just hope someone brings the show to Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach to liven up the party.
