PHYLLIS STEIN ART

Please check out my friends lovely/NEW/downtown/ art gallery - Phyllis Stein

ABOUT PHYLLIS STEIN ART:

Phyllis Stein Art is a fine art gallery focusing on emerging artists. It is a mission of PSA to provide resources and educational programs through which artists may hone their practice in hopes of creating a dialogue and community that supports a spectrum of artistic expression. The gallery functions as a venue for radical performance work as well as the more sedate facets of art. PSA is currently developing an internship program through which art-hungry youths may get their proverbial feet wet in a gay-old gallery environment.


Opening Reception: July 10, 7-11pm

LOS ANGELES, June 19, 2008 -- Phyllis Stein Art is pleased to announce the opening of its inaugural gallery exhibition in conjunction with the Downtown Arts Walk on July 10, 2008.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:

Eric Smail: Press 1 for English
Exploring the geometry of semiotics in a technological age, Eric Smail’s boldly-colored complex paper sculptures and 2D patterned installations create a provocative and futuristic architecture.

Jesse Chapo: Stateside
Jesse Chapo’s new works, paintings and sculptures of bright and fantastical creatures, touch upon themes of American ideas, values and customs. Reminiscent of Heinz Edelmann or Milton Glaser, but with a confidence and style completely his own, Chapo’s work is both playful and compelling.

207 W 5th Street in the Spring Arts Tower,
PSA is open Tuesday – Saturday, 10am-6pm and by appointment.

EAMES Stamps

The USPS 2008 stamp collection includes a set in recognition of design duo Eames.

Charles (1907-1978) and Ray (1912–1988) Eames were American designers who made major contributions in many fields of design including industrial design, furniture design, art, graphic design, film and architecture.

Their iconic status is due to their ability to introduce new materials, new shapes, and technology to the American masses. After WWII and into the mid 20th century, Charles & Ray Eames invented products that defined the mood of the American public...There was a social obsession with 'the future', technology, color, and playfulness that was born out of being in years of war. In a sense, Charles & Ray Eames became the voice of a new generation.

Most of the Eames furniture collection is still in production. You can find the famed Eames lounge chair and ottoman and much more at www.hemanmiller.com

New Superpowers Flags

Just saw this @ www.publicworks.org.uk

"A set of flags that express more accurately the natures of the world's existent, up-and-coming, and new superpowers:
Russia's stranglehold on oil and gas lines; Britain's CCTV obsession; Canada's huge, currently untapped oil reserves; China's peerless manufacturing ability; Brazil's potential as the first non-nuclear superpower; Japan's ever-expanding workforce; America's insidious consumerist introductions; and India's massive industrial development."

SYI: I try to avoid politics on this blog, but I thought that the design aspect of this project trumped political lines.
