COMING UP - Tonite! permalinkA few of our very own UO peeps and a couple of their brethren spent some time dipping into their memory banks to create COMING UP, an exhibit curated by Mason Warner which showcases the cultural influences that form the core of those making art in the “oughts”. The show kicks off at Jinxed (620 S. 4th St.) tonite at 6pm. Fix up, look sharp and for those of you on a fixed income...we heard there might even be a hoagie tray.

Whatever Happened to the Men of Tomorrow? permalinkWith his one-inch installations placed around the streets of London, Slinkachu creates something that is simultaneously cute and a biting commentary on modern life. With Whatever Happened to the Men of Tommorrow?, opened June 4th at Andipa Gallery, his tiny guys are superheros. “I used old and out-of-shape superhero characters to hint at failed hopes and dreams,” he says. “When we are young we think of ourselves as invincible and destined for greatness, but before we realize it we are old and forgotten—like the war hero beaten up at the bus stop for his pension money or the doting father left alone in a care home.” Heavy stuff for tiny stuff.
