iggy pop concert free at the beach. Iggy looks great for 105!
the containers on the beach were really boring except for 2.
the best one was all black inside and had mesmerizing music playing over and over again.
amber and i passed out in the container for an hour till iggy played.
sometimes music heals visual overload. this time it healed us from
the insanity of the art basel opening night!
here are pics of the container i could not capture the sound container on film and needed a tape recorder to do it justice
or a movie camera.












Kim from Paper Magazine curated an awesome show of artists from Creative Growth.


bought a few of these pieces last year
lots of ceramics this year at nada.
a crunchy trend.








goes with a dolphin ankle tattoo.

Alex Kopps and Alexis Amann

ALEX KOPPS "Your Today Is Their Tomorrow"
November 17 - December 30, 2007


Born amidst the controversy of the Watergate scandal, Alexander Kopps is an artist from Oakland, California, sponsored by Target, Taco Bell, Kragen Auto Parts, and Home Depot. Kopps has immense respect for his girlfriend Lolo, "I don't know what I'd do without her," but has never been too fond of the DMV. He has seen much of the world, having all ready been to Australia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Holland, El Salvador, Brazil for art shows and to Indonesia for research and development for his "Man as Dolphin" program.

ALEXIS AMANN "Voyage of the R'Ship"
November 17 - December 30, 2007


Alexis Amann's acrylic gouache paintings .. paper contain layers of worlds populated by girls, fish, zombies, rabbits, houses, boats, harpies, and other assorted flora and fauna driven by the forces of love and water. Her work has been included in several juried shows within San Francisco including Southern Exposure's 2005 Mayhem, Gen Art's 2006 Emerge show, and more recently, the LAB Gallery's, Look Forward to Seeing It: The Discipline of Anticipation. Her work has also been exhibited in Portland, Seattle, Miami, and New York.
Alexis Amann was raised in several dark, drafty, and dank moldering little houses on the edges of a small Oregon coastal town where she aspired to be an illustrator and often tried to convince her sister to make things with her. During her emotionally overwrought teen years, Alexis was married to the sea, but soon became estranged from her first true love when she moved to Portland, Oregon. There, Alexis went on the five-year plan of making things, working at the library, and dramatically interpreting Platonic dialogues until this resulted in her receipt of a B.A. in Drawing/Painting/Printmaking from Portland State University in 2002. Alexis moved to San Francisco in 2004 to enter the graduate program at the San Francisco Art Institute and received her MFA in Painting in 2006.
