Ken Goto @ 1AM

Our friend, Ken Goto has a opening group exhibition tonight at 1AM, 1000 Howard Street SF, 7-10pm. This show is going to be a good one.

-detail-

1AM is a firm believer that a picture can speak a thousand words so we decided to collaborate with some of the top shooters in the game.

The outcome is our premier photography exhibition “Most Finished” featuring new works by Dylan Maddux, Ken Goto, Orly Locquiao, and Abe Menor.
Catch glimpses of their street inspired art style, which is as unique and exotic as their origins ranging from the Bay Area to Japan to Hawaii. Larger than life femme fatales, tattoo inspired masterpieces, and urban lifestyle moments will be well represented in this exhibition. Come witness the 1AM movement as these veteran shooters invite you to peer into our world through their lenses.

Opening exhibition is March 20th 2009 from 7-10pm and will runs through April 15th.

Free entry and complimentary wine provided (while supplies last).

This is a 21+ event.

Check out the following websites to get a flavor of what the artists will be showing:

Colorless Spectrum

Thank you all for visiting Colorless Spectrum on Jan. 30th! Space Gallery was packed with almost 300 visitors, bringing good vibes to the special reception party night.



At the door, we distributed 'omikuji':
"Omikuji are sacred bits of paper that can be obtained at Shinto Shrines and Buddhist temples in exchange for the lucky bagel-shaped five yen coin. Selected at random, the receiver will discover a fortune about how lucky the coming year will be. From romance to education, business to health, a glimpse into your possible future can be found within this Omikuji."
We were hoping everyone experienced this Japanese custom at our show - getting omikuji is one of the 'must-do' things done around New Year's day.


How was your fortune? Some lucky ones won SIR T-shirts for free! I wish that was me...

Although there was some troubles with turntables, our Djs did a splendid job in painting the atomsphere of the gallery in various colors -

Tokyo Component


DJ Yusai


Zaion


DJ 8 Doors


Live Painting was started around 9:30pm. People surrounded the canvas, waiting to see what was gonna happen.


Aoi writes "Colorless Specrtum" on the canvas:
before the show, we cut the canvas into several pieces, painted them in various colors, and stapled all on the floor.


Noa- draws abstruct lines that flows like a galaxy:
we detached the canvas from the floor, rearranged and stapled them on the wall, and Noa- drew over Aoi's calligraphy.


Rearraging again-


Lavit Sea draws human figures in each canvas:
Various ethnicities. Both male and female. Different generations. All looking at the center of the canvas...


Did you all receive the message from us? We hope that you enjoyed the performance!


Look at my hands and foot - this is why painting is fun.


Be Colorless.
Be Colorful.
Be United.
See, there's no boundary.


THANK YOU!

Visit SIR Flickr to see the photos from the show!
We will see you in May.

Q: What is the medium of art you deal with?

A: Typography, photography, and other simple ways of communication.

Q: When did you start becoming dedicated to your means of artistic expression? What was the trigger?

A: It all started when I was in high school when I first read this sub-cultural design magazine called "relax". My very first design on my own was when I was 20. It was a design for a flier of an event that my friend and I organized ourselves.

Q: What/Where do you get your inspirations from?

A: My inspirations do not come from concrete and objective ideas but rather from abstract concepts that happen to ponder into my head. Once I have the concept, I can begin to imagine and develop the design.

Q: What made you join this SIR exhibition?

A: I like the fact that through these SIR exhibits, I am exposed to so many different types of artists and an even wider range of styles and expression.

Q: Tell us a little bit about your vision of your art work at the show "Colorless Spectrum". How do you interpret the theme Colorless Spectrum?

A: "Colorless Spectrum" has some implications of both, a start and an end. I plan to further develop this concept and wish to present it in a very simple fashion.

Q: Do you love Japan?

A: Of course!

Q: Do you have any message to the audience?

A: At this show, you will be able to witness a gallery filled with genre-breaking experimental art. See you all at the space gallery!
