June 1 Eastside Art Openings

Half Dozen closes its current brick and basement space, L/R, tonight. They have been consistently good here, in LoBu, and in the Everett Lofts. We wish them the best in their next adventure. The closing show is Drone Kitsch by Carl Diehl. It is a good candidate for copywriting of the week: "pulling from UFO lore for inspiration, playing on themes of technological anxiety, imagining nostalgic objects from an estranged futurity."
