LIFT’s first show of 2012 takes a twisted approach to St. Valentine’s Day, offering adorable and adorably disgusting portrayals of love in all its forms. Featuring the work of metro Detroit artists Heather Hansma and Josh Buckenberger and illustrator Cody Schibi (of Austin, Tex.), Lovesick presents the “adorable, horrifying and moody” effects that Cupid’s arrow can have. Grab your sweetie and take a surreal stroll down lover’s lane at LIFT, 228 W. Fourth St., Royal Oak; 248-545-5245; displays through March 4.
Speaking of that amorous mood that the second week of the second month always brings, get a quirky and early kiss on 2/4 when Hansma, Schibi and Buckenberger (nope, not a law firm) ascend at LIFT Detroit. Love is the game, Lovesick is the name of the show, and whatever “nausea” ensues will be a fitting rebuttal to that trite commercialism we alluded to above.
The Romeo Times also has a bonus sneak peak at part of the gallery set up with art before the show opens tomorrow, Friday, October 7th from 7-10pm.
Happy Serum: Press Roundup
Press about “A Bun A Day”
I’ve been getting some nice press for my upcoming solo exhibition in various blogs (Perfect Laughter, streetculturemash, Motorcityblog). Today I got some attention in some printed locations (who conveniently also post their content online for me to share with you).
Metro Times featured me as one of their “Critic’s Picks,” and Real Detroit Weekly’s Robert del Valle wrote me up in his Stage & Canvas column.
Did you notice how both went out of their way to make sure you knew that I call myself lowbrow? I guess not everyone must love that term. Well, I do and it describes me perfectly.
Getting some press love from one of my favorite Detroit blogs today: MCB.
