sAne/BOTWIN - SUITE JESUS 365

By: Todd Berger

We’re stoked to announce that our good friend, Adrien Robert (sAne) will be showing at 111 Minna Gallery in SF, for ArtNowSF’s Juxtapoz sponsored Suite Jesus 365 group show & music event. Alex Botwin, another Boulder super-hero beatmaker/producer will be reppin’ on the musical side of the event. The exhibition opens Thursday June 5th and runs through June 28th. sAne had his first ever solo show here at JoyEngine, and we’re pretty amped about his ascent in the art world. Both Adrien and Alex are two young talents to keep your eyes on.

Here’s the lodown on 365, “365 features a provocative variety of contemporary art from a diverse group of 14 of the country’s most forward-thinking, contemporary, nouveau-surreal and abstract modern artists. Featured artists include co-curator of the event Kris D, known for live painting and inventive graphic landscapes; Damon Soule, a contemporary artist whose paintings have a galactic, future-forward sensibility; and Oliver Vernon’s furiously creative studies in color and perspective. 365 also showcases the amazing talents of David Choong Lee, Jason Alberto Garcia, Gregory Euclide, Ethen B. Luce, Des10, Rob Pellicer, David Hale, XAVI, Third Peak, Adrien Robert (Sane), and Joshua Mays.

A defining element of the 365 group show is the music-fueled element of live art, allowing audience, musician and artist to intersect and ultimately integrate the creative process and widen the art’s communicative scope. The auditory experience at 365 opening features a staggering mix of national talents in genre-bending sounds from electro to breaks to indie-jazz to house-soul to live music in Minna’s two rooms of art and music. In addition this month, sAne will further synchronize the multitude of art by dropping a live VJ set, featuring his own original animations, but also including some remixed content from the other visual artists.

The OPENING PARTY line-up, from 6pm-2am, includes Eliot Lipp’s  first ever live performance featuring Alex & Lane of the Pnuma Trio, Daedelus, The Gaslamp Killer, Deru, Free the Robots, Alex B, Odd Nosdam, Jel, DJ Centipede and DJ Pedro. Then on Friday, June 27th, ArtNowSF brings you a very special edition of their monthly art & dance party Suite Jesus, from 9pm-2am. Performers include VinRoc, I-Vier, Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist, Bootleg, and Adam Twelve.”

Pretty fresh.

    With the economy in shambles and the media preaching fear like it’s their job, shit’s gettin’ crazy.  One thing to be on the lookout for this holiday season… clients.  They come wearing many disguises, talking big game, and spewing all sorts of… well, often just spewing.  So, here’s a little tip to all the idependent professional creatives out there, when they(clients) feel compelled to tell you just how deep their pockets are - odds are they’ve got short arms.  That’s it.  Deep Pockets - Short Arms.  Heard that one from a buddy the other day, and it couldn’t be more dead-on.  Take it or leave it.  Just be on the lookout for anything remotely resembling a baby seal wearing high-end denim.  It’s probably not what it seems.

    Ah yes, the delicious sounds of Super Mario World for all to hear!

    “The complete soundtrack to Super Mario World, covered by one man using dozens of instruments. Roughly in game order, faithful to the originals, with some bizarre artistic license thrown around. A private hobby made public.”
