We are living in the society of the spectacle. In spite of its alienating effects on our life and social relationships, it’s one of the very fundamental conditions of our existence. We perceive the world and communicate with each other through the spectacle – a system of image production and representation dominated by the logic of market capitalism which tends to “develop” our faculties of perception, imagination and reflection towards a “one dimensional model” formatted by the language of consumerist ideology. This is also the very contemporary condition of our self-identification and social order “guaranteed” by the established power system. As a main typology of artistic and cultural events of our time, biennials of contemporary art are no doubt an ultimate form of expression of such a tendency...

Installations Inside / Out: Armory 20th Anniversary Exhibition
September 20 – December 31, 2009
Opening reception Saturday, September 19, 2009, 6-9 p.m.
Jay Belloli and Sinéad Finnerty-Pyne, curators

This exhibition will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Armory Center for the Arts by commissioning contemporary artists, who have created art installations in the past, to make new site-specific art installations both inside and outside the Armory.   Approximately 10 of the installations will be at outdoor sites at various locations in Pasadena, including Edgar Arceneaux, Daniel Buren, Rockne Krebs, Barry McGee, Carlos Mollura, Matthew Moore, Jane Mulfinger, Bruce Nauman, Barbara Smith.  Artists in the exhibition will include Kim Abeles, Deborah Aschheim, Carl Cheng, Seth Kaufman, Michael C. McMillen, Sarah Perry, Ed Ruscha, Betye Saar, John Trevino, Pae White, and Mario Ybarra Jr. Videos of Arceneaux’s and Nauman’s off-site performances will be in the Armory’s gallery. Barbara Smith will also do a performance at the exhibition opening on September 19, 2009.

The exhibition will reflect the Armory Gallery’s long-standing goal supporting contemporary Southern California artists, as well as the Gallery’s determination to bring art to the public in exterior, non-art locations.

A limited edition publication documenting the exhibition will accompany this show.

The trailer for the film You Scratched My Anchor. Featuring - Alex Knost, Ratboy, Scotty Stopnik, Kassia Meador, Jared Mell, Tyler Warren, James Reed, Brian Bent, Jai Lee and Mitch Abshere.

Hey Everyone,
Tomorrow night if you are around come by and watch Mitch’s new film.
Bring a towel or a chair- we will also have a BBQ going.

Best always,

Check out what REVOK and the RVCA team have been doing while in Berlin, Germany.

Kevin Lloyd Ancell was adopted at a young age and raised by a group of southern California surfers. They were the movers and shakers of the 1970s surf scene, and for Ancell, surfing became a way of life as well as a teacher of discipline; it helped him meet challenges and overcome fear.

That is where the art comes in.
For Ancell, art is an exploration of the inner self and another form of self-expression. Ancell draws most of his inspiration from Manuel Ribeira — a Spanish painter who lived in Italy. He also draws inspiration from the works of Rembrandt, Caravaggio and the old, Flemish masters.

Though he now lives and works as a full-time artist in San Francisco, Ancell's past wanderings have included Mexico, Costa Rica, and China. In China he studied Wu Shu and taught American culture at the Beijing Institute of Science and Technology — until he was expelled for "improper political and spiritual activity."

When he's not painting, he's out surfing — or making surfboards, or for that matter cooking up his infamous lobster tacos.
