I can’t help it. I adore Carissa Potter. As a matter of fact, I have nice things to say about her here. Hope you clicked on ‘here’ and read about her…this post will definitely be here when you get back. 🙂 Okay, now that you’ve read about her.

Today, I had the opportunity to look at Luca Nino Antonucci’s work from his current show, COLLAPSE, at the Wire + Nail Gallery (San Francisco, CA) showing until August 21, 2011. The content of the show is based on light from 13.5 billion years ago. Using advanced photographic technology, which includes an infrared camera along with a multi object spectrometer indicating distance, Antonucci creates an array of paper based work that illuminates (pun intended) what the human eye is unable…

Mutiny Radio was a treat at the BAN6 Visual Arts Exhibition opening last Friday. They conducted a live broadcast of the show visitors were able to tune in and listen to on headphones provided (in exchange for your ID). Looking at art as you listened to BAN6 interviews made the experience much more engaging. Thank goodness for Mutiny Radio! Click on the image above or here to learn more about this organization.

I wanted to get some pictures up of BAN6’s Visual Arts Exhibition opening as soon as possible. With this much art and in such a large space, BAN 6 deserves repeat visits! I’ve been a huge fan of Yerba Buena Center for the Arts for a long time so I highly recommend a visit, especially for BAN6. I’m returning to YBCA in the next couple of weeks so I can be intimate with the art (no, not like that, people).…

Recently, the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field imaging system unveiled the deepest portrait of the visible universe ever achieved by humankind, that reveals the first light from 13.5 billion years ago. The exposure lasted for eleven and a half days and is the as far back as the human eye has seen to the origins of the universe. Collapse, Antonucci’s first solo show, addresses these awe-inspiring galactic portraits in a purist vocabulary imbued by the hand of the artist. With the topic…

When it comes to art, New York has been called a hub where intellectualism and creativity meet. Although it has a smaller population, the same sentiment can be said about San Francisco. As the city known for its diversity, its no surprise that one can find a multitude of extraordinary and unique artists creating art ranging from traditional to highly experimental and conceptual. These individuals need someone capable of navigating the art world as well as having the deft business…
