Many moons have passed since my last art exhibition. This Thursday, I'm bringing it back with Cymaglyph Vizwrap: a video projection show by my friend and Fantastic Optosonic Projections collaborator, Matthew E. Jones. He will be illuminating the Jeff King & Co offices, a local general building contractor that doubles its space as Y2Y Gallery. With the tragic closing of so many businesses on Balboa Street in the past months, I'm excited to bring a stream of light into the neighborhood.

Projection Show by Matthew E. Jones
Opening Reception: February 9th, 2012 from 6-8pm
Nightly projections through March 9th from 5-10pm

 

Matt testing projectors

I'm 100% behind Matt's work as he is taking projection mapping to the next level. I'm proud to help him mount his first solo exhibition ever, I know it's only a matter of time before he's showing up all over the map (pun inteded?).

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Halloween Costume Contest & Dance Party at Space Gallery SF last weekend! The house was packed with creative costumes (in concept and construction), a healthy number of dance freaks, and a few plain clothes party poopers. Costume or not, I had a blast with all of you. Here are some pics from the evening:

Bay Area Artists Use Cutting Edge Projection Mapping Technology in Modern Psychedelic Projection Show

Who: Bay Area VJ, Matthew Eben Jones, and filmmaker musician, Wilfred Galila, combine creative vision to curate an unprecedented visual and audio experience. Hosted by Kirsten Inc.

Family of Man
SpaceAPE

What: As Wilfred Galila puts it, “We’re here to quench your consciousness.” Drawing inspiration from sound artist, Amon Tobin, and psychedelic light show masters, The Brotherhood of Light, Jones and Galila use brand new projection mapping technology to push old concepts to new limits. The theme for Fantastic Optosonic Projections' second event is the conceptual stream. The stream of light, the stream of consciousness, and the stream of people moving between audio and visual experiences. As viewers gather around the watering hole, their consciousness will be quenched by the magic they find.  

Where:
Space Gallery SF
1141 Polk Street @ Sutter
San Francisco, CA 94118

Little Halloweenies,

Nowhere to show off your fantabulous costume on Halloween weekend? Bars full, clubs expensive, living rooms too small, night walkers to mean? I have the answer. HALLOWEEN DANCE PARTY at Space Gallery on Saturday, October 29 so you can be yourself celebrating America's best holiday with your most gruesome of friends.

We have a horrific array of attractions awaiting you including tail-shaking music by the freaky Willy Branlund and mind-numbing projections by the scurrrry Rich Kids. Stomach-turning finger food provided by San Francisco's most terrifying Whiskey Commons.

The main event, our BLOODY HIPSTER COSTUME CONTEST, includes categories for Most Doomed Couple, Deadliest Dapper, Venomous Vixen, Moronic Monster and more. Winners receive prizes from such delicious local vendors as Piper's Shoe Parlor and The Loin (we can't spoil all the surprises, now can we?).

First 50 in the door get a FREE BEER and the rest of you can fight over a list of murky Halloween cocktails.

TICKETS are $10. To purchase tickets contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call Space Gallery at (415) 377-3325

RSVP on Facebook. COME DANCE.

love Kirsten
