July 24th
After spending a wonderful morning wandering around the Mission looking at yard sales and finding some great things (including an awesome Tim Biskup toy), Ilya and I went to check out the Precita Eyes Fundraiser. It was taking place in a cute park about two blocks away from our apartment with a ton of local graffiti artists and boards set up for people to spray paint. It was pretty fun with some work that was actually pretty good but the strong wind caused the spray paint to be a bit too much to breath. On the way to dinner, later on, we saw that Soap Gallery (a gallery nearby that is usually closed) was open and stopped in. What a fun show with great works that inspired me with some ideas for shows. All of the work was based upon the junk ads for supermarkets with over sized products made from a variety of materials. Wonderful!!! There was a wonderful piece with three straws that we are waiting to find out if we can purchase it or not.
