September 2, 2010 – 9-02-10 – 90210
The last month I have been running around like a madman, working like crazy. Unfortunately it has been focused on paying the bills and not making art. I haven’t managed to pick up a paint brush in way too long but, soon I hope to be back on track and working on new paintings. In the mean time, my studio mate Liz has been working on a project that is sure to inspire nostalgia. When she realized that the scheduled opening at the Distillery Gallery fell on September 2nd, she was inspired to create a show, fitting of the date, 9-02-10. I am not sure I can even do this idea justice so I will just quote the press release here.
“The hit television series Beverly Hills, 90210 premiered 20 years ago. To mark the anniversary of this cultural phenomenon, The Distillery Gallery presents 9.02.10: Teen TV Residue. The exhibit focuses not only on the impact of the 90210 sensations of past and present, but on the impact of teen television as a whole. Artists’ reactions to additional shows like My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girl invite the viewer to fathom the idea that you don’t have to still be a teenager to feel the impact of teen TV.”
It is sure to be a fun show and, afterwards we are having a party back in Studio 11 with a performance by a great Boston band, Hallelujah The Hills. We are all pretty excited to have these guys in the studio (how could I not be excited, the bass player is also named Nick Ward!). These guys are great and have taken time away from actual paying gigs to come put on a show here so, come on out, enjoy some music and maybe even slip a dollar or two into their hat.
As usual, if you plan on attending, log into Facebook and click here to join the event page to help spread the word and get updates.
With a little luck, I will have a lot of new art and Studio 11 events (more concerts) coming up soon so, stay tuned!
That's great you are getting back!
As usual, I am looking forward to making some more art. I have a couple paintings that need to be finished and a couple more ready to start. It will feel good to get back to them.
