Kelly Williams Ray puts images on objects in "Body Double Image". " "Vintage magazines, Department of Defense manuals, children’s books, and propaganda posters" are repurposed as commentary on the impact of advertising on our identity.

MoshiMoshi shows Full Orange, a cartoony show.
Often visual and musical creativity are correlated. Perhaps it is the attraction of deep inside time required for creation. Maybe desiring the accolades of audience plays a role too. I wonder how the fancy hall's polite applause or old school moshing would work to mark gallery-goers appreciation? Tonight musicians Adam Zeek, Curtis Knapp of Watery Graves, E*Rock (whose bright drawings are well known from other 811 shows), Hooliganship (who may be making some kind of viewmaster animation totem pole), Lucky Dragons & the Sumi Ink Club, Phil Elverum, White Rainbow and YACHT make visual. Given the musicians schedules, the opening will be both Thursday March 1 and the regular first Friday March 2. At Grass Hut

Small A has taken a bold step at representing some recent PNCA grads. Gallerist Gitlin has the pulse of Miami and LA whose bold collectors are perhaps more broad minded. Yeah!
