Paul Urich - Take Me to Paradise
@Fecal Face Dot Gallery
Opening: Friday, Jan 7th, 2011 (6-9pm)
RSVP ON FACEBOOK
Fecal Face Dot Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by San Francisco-based artist Paul Urich from January 7 – February 6, 2011. This will be Urich’s second solo show at the gallery.
For his new body of work, ink drawings and gouache paintings, Urich was inspired by tattoo "old timers" and prison based artists. The artist explains, “some pieces would have a few designs on them. Others would have the whole piece of paper packed with as much as would fit. Some of the designs in my work are directly copied from those guys, some are altered, and some are my own... all influenced by the "old timers". While the pieces on hankerchiefs were inspired from watching a prison documentary. The men were making incredible drawings with ball point pen on hankercheifs and trading them for Cinabuns, ramen noodles, and other shit like that. So I hooked a ballpoint pen up to a tattoo machine and started drawing.”
Paul Urich’s selected exhibitions include Fecal Face Dot Gallery, San Francisco; Space 1026, Philadelphia; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Headlands Center for the Arts, Marin Headlands; Eleanor Harwood Gallery, San Francisco; 96 Gillespie Gallery, London. Uirch was the 2005 Bell Foundation for Cultural Development, Individual Grant Recipient. COLLECTIONS include Museum of Modern Art, NY (Library Archives - Hot and Cold complete publications)
FECAL FACE DOT GALLERY is the physical destination for Fecalface.com; the content-rich, comprehensive, multidisciplinary art and culture website supporting the art scene in San Francisco and beyond since 2000. |

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 13:57
Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold's photos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey's photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can't ask him to find out.
Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes "Ripped off!", so we guess that's your answer.
Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Homemade Tattoos (+How To)
Friday, 14 June 2013 10:00
Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Organizers are now asking for donations and developing a vendor fee schedule to try and keep the party alive. ~continue reading

Tuesday, 04 June 2013 14:00
Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.

The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service.

These days New York-native multimedia artist, Michael Alan, has been incredibly active artistically in the big city. Between staging hours-long Living Installations at the New Museum and other DIY spaces, exhibiting his drawings and paintings in group exhibitions and hosting an unusual solo show in the home of his mother, Alan proves that there is no rest for the wicked.

| Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF
Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.

| The Tornatos in Moore, OK by Justin Clemons
I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing. It was just too much to take in, too much to process. So, I did what comes naturally and took images. It sort of helped me separate from the chaos and helped me focus.

Congrats to everyone who worked on the show, and especially Trolf, Jim, and Jay who all have been working tirelessly on it. Sanja & Craig premiered Saturday 10:30 am 11 am on Nickelodeon. You can watch Sanjay and Craig Episode 1: Brett Venom on hulu. and read about how the guys came up with it in this interview with The LA Times. Now, here's some photos from the premiere.
