The Innocnts Gallery was pleased to host an evening of creativity and good vibes with childhood friends Metendere Teebs and Dion Banks earlier this month. A solid turn out, cold Pabst, and proper sound selection made for a great night. Big thanks to those that could make it out!
The first annual Ventura Single Fin Invitational was devised as a contest for the surfers by the surfers. As advocates of alternative board use, namely the heavy single fin type, the competition highlighted some of the top underground single fin talent hailing from around the Ventura area. Local guest judges were asked to share their perspectives and favorable surf conditions prevailed at Ventura Point on September 14th and 15th. Local hero Clay Wagner walked away with the win and $500 for his efforts. We had such a great time putting on this event and appreciate everyone's support. Excited to bring more casual surf competition to local waters soon!
Been painting small abstracts in the morning after waking while the mind is still fresh and untarnished by the day's events. It's nice to just move paint around and focus on composition. Painting keeps you young and one should never grow up.
The Second Dream of the High-Tension Line Stepdown Transformer, from composer La Monte Young, layers meditative lines of muted trumpets droning in four perfect pitches to create a sonar landscape of vast harmonic planes. Listen in, and get lost.
Once thought to be the most densely populated place on Earth, with 50,000 people crammed into only a few blocks, these fascinating pictures give a rare insight into the lives of those who lived Kowloon Walled City.
Taken by Canadian photographer Greg Girard in collaboration with Ian Lamboth the pair spent five years familiarising themselves with the notorious Chinese city before it was demolished in 1992.
The city was a phenomenon with 33,000 families and businesses living in more than 300 interconnected high-rise buildings, all constructed without contributions from a single architect.
