Friday June 3rd 2011, "Roam" by Amelia Konow

6-9pm, snacks and refreshment will be served as always, and please feel free to BYOB if 2buck chuck doesnt suit your taste.

Amelia describes this show as:

In the past three years I have moved across America twice and traveled to Turkey, Holland, France and Panama. While on these trips I carried my Poloroid camera with me, to capture landscapes and abstract compositions. My surroundings were constantly changing and each place was a new experience seen with fresh eyes. The plane and car rides in between always left me drifting off and daydreaming about my adventures, often while watching the clouds. Between the towns and the various citites I traversed the only thing that stayed the same was that everything was guaranteed to change. Roam is the story of my journey - not just the places in between.

-Amelia Konow

Thank you for reading this blog, hopefully a new opportunity will present it's self to me and I will be able to keep curating somewhere. It has been a wonderful opportunity to show my friends art and help artists to have their first solo shows. But maybe it's my turn to have the art shows. Maybe I will find time to paint more, and perfect my craft. I just don't know where I am going artistically, but I know I have an apartment full of art work, and a head full of ideas. Hopefully some of them are good enough to make me stand out in some way.

Adam Donnelly at pure Beauty salon on haight st.

I am please to announce that the photographer Adam Donnelly will be showing at Pure Beauty Salon on Haight street Friday March 4th 6-8pm. Refreshments and booze will be served, if you do not prefer the delicate flavors of 2 buk chuk, then be proactive and BYOB. As you may well know, PB is at 1560 haight st, at Clayton st, the gallery is located in the salon above the store.

Adam says his work is about transitions, as in his own life, he has moved thirteen times, most recently from Boston, to San Francisco, each time he documents a new "home", he is trying to capture what he has established for himself, new friends, roots, familiarities. He chooses to hand hold the camera which for him best describes " quick ,fleeting, experimental moments, which coincides with the constantly moving transitional periods in my own life".

For his full artist statement see the posting on the Fecal Face website in the calendar postings for March 4th. Hope to see you all there!

Please come out to see his lovely photographs which I have enjoyed for a long time myself. Chris A. Gould is an amazing photographer, his work is a quiet observation of the world around him.

"Chris A. Gould uses the light and shapes found in a still frame to capture the feeling, the movement and the possibilities embedded in a moment. By sharing these he hopes to provide just enough information to spark a story or frame the question with in the viewer."
